Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, February 06, 2008

A blind musician and his calypso band have been awarded damages after being thrown off an international flight as suspected terrorists. "They were the only black people on the flight and certain [members] of the crew indicated to the pilot that they were not prepared to fly with the group," said their representative Philip Marshall.

Idiots. Terrorists are Arabs.

Ay, caramba!!!

Idiots. Terrorists are Arabs.

Posted by Jomama

Dude, 'terrorists', only exists in your mind. It's what THEY tell you. You can choose to live in a peaceful world, but it's so easy to be a sheeple.

"Dude, 'terrorists', only exists in your mind. It's what THEY tell you."

You sound like a dumbfuck.

I need to find a more cynical blog.

If they were terrorist, why weren't they arrested?

The whole problem with things like the patriot act and other nondiscript laws we have invented is an excuse to for go someones rights for fear.

Welcome to the 15th century and the spanish inquisition.

Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burning sand
He had emeralds and rubies just drippin' off 'a him
And a ring on every finger of his hand
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side
And, every evenin', about midnight
He'd jump on his camel named Clyde, and ride
Silently through the night to the sultan's tent where he
would secretly meet up with Fatima of the Seven Veils,
swingingest grade "A" number one US choice dancer in
the sultan's whole harem, 'cause, heh, him and her had
a thing goin', you know, and they'd been carryin' on
for some time now behind the sultan's back and you
could hear him talk to his camel as he rode out across the
dunes, his voice would cut through the still night desert
air and he'd say (imitate Arabic speech and finish with "Sold! American)
which is Arabic for, "Stop, Clyde!" and Clyde'd say, (imitate camel
sound), which is camel for, "What the heck did he say anyway?"

Well, he brought that camel to a screechin' halt
In the rear of Fatima's tent
Jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner
And into the tent he went.
There he saw Fatima layin' on a zebra skin rug
With
Rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes and a bone in her nose ho, ho.

There she was, friends, lyin' there in all her radiant
beauty, eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate,
bowl of chittlin's, two bananas, three Hershey bars,
sipping on a RC co-cola listenin' to her transistor,
watchin' the Grand Ole Opry on the tube, readin' a Mad
magazine while she sung, "Does your chewing gum lose
it's flavor?" Yeah, Ahab walked up to her and he say,
(imitate Arabic speech), which is Arabic for "Let's twist
again like we did last summer, baby.!!" Ha, ha, ha!!
You know what I mean! Whew! She looked up at him from off the rug,
give him one of the sly looks,

She said "Crazy, crazy, crazy baby!"

('round and around and around and around, and around and around and around)

Yeah, and that's the story 'bout Ahab the Arab
The sheik of the burnin' sand
Ahab the Arab, the swingin' sheik of the burnin' sand

Now do "Tumbling Dice"

'Terrorists are Arabs.'

Aren't the dangers of Calypso music specifically mentioned in some obscure portion of the Patriot Act?

Thast reminds me, I have some rum I need to drink.

One person's terrorist is another person's Lord Kitchener...

(As if anyone who would even show up at McDonald's should be taken seriously.)

That Mcdonalds woman didn't get any money anyway. After the court fees, lawyers, and medical procedures to reconstruct her melted crotch, she was likely in debt.

Anyone who even goes to McDonald's deserves far worse.

I have yet to debase myself enough to eat at that vile place.

My children tried Happy Meals long ago and were disgusted.

They are college grads and debt-free.

I eat there very rarely. Like, if there's nothing else in town open.

Try the Chicken McAnus Flaps, I mean "McNuggets". Yum.

If you really loathe yourself, and can't find any metamucel,(or however the fuck you spell it) try taco bell.

I have yet to debase myself enough to eat at that vile place.

Amen. Though I have to admit they make good coffee and once in a rare while I"ll buy that. And if I'm lucky I'll spill some on my self and hit the litigation lottery.

I dunno, goatman...I think I'd rather have something resembling a penis than 2 million dollars.

Good.

Two limes, Two ounces of Patron and one of Grand Marnier.

And a really good place to eat?

When you get to my age, the $2M starts looking better and better as far as pleasure derived.

I went through two bottles of the stuff last time home. New record for me.

Notice that key limes went up from $2/bag to $3.5 in a month's time? What's that all about?

Goat/CC-

Do you remember when the 10th Naval District had its own steel band? Even sounded dramatic: "Commander, Caribbean Sea Frontier presents the 10th Naval District Steel Band". Very good, but not nearly as good as the Cocal Cola Steel Band.

Good times, long before there was such a thing as CENTCOM.

Zat -- have you tried the new Patron orange liqueur? IMO, it is as good as Grand Marnier or Drambui and is only $21/fifth. Give it a shot (pun intentional) if you haven't already.

I don't remember that, USN.

Goatbrain, you're the one who called her "cousin it."

I'm glad I'm not on an oil rig, they hire poorly.

Beats Bluffalo bOoB, though.

I remember now. But that image still comes across jumbled. It looks nothing like a person. There must be something in the .jpg algorithm failing on my PC. Sorry, Zat.

Too bad you'll never see her face.

I'll manage to get through life somehow.

I like to hike, swim, and ride a bike. It's free and I'm not stuck inside a stuffy building smelling the persperation of dozens of strangers. To each his own.

I'm glad I'm not on an oil rig, they hire poorly.

But they pay very well, have a handsome pension, great insurance, 26 weeks off a year, nice bonuses for well completion and Christmas, and I can live anywhere in the country I choose and get flown to work for free. I guess it evens out.

"I like to hike, swim, and ride a bike. It's free and I'm not stuck inside a stuffy building smelling the persperation of dozens of strangers. To each his own."

I'm with you, Goatman.

It's much more fun being outdoors getting excersize than in.

It doesn't seem like a workout.

Zat:

Goatman's apologized a couple of times. And there were others who said the picture was messed up.

Valentines Day is almost upon us....show the love, brother!

"I remember now. But that image still comes across jumbled. It looks nothing like a person. "

That's because she's a goddess.

Sorry you lost yours.

"How's your son, Lisa? Feeling better today, I hope? Exactly what was wrong with him? The flu theat's going around?"

He's MUCH better, thank you.

We are in the process of getting every strain of flu there is....lol! He also has strep throat. Poor thing was miserable.

I'm waiting for my turn.

He likes to share.

I'm glad to hear he's getting better -- for both of y'all's sake. There is not a more helpless feeling for a parent than to watch a sick child.

Sorry to hear you've taught him all to well to share, though! *grin*

Here's the link to the second similar photo you also put up which shows "The Goddess" (it's her right?) in full length. It's much easier to make out that it's an actual person in this link. She's standing upright in a dress with her very long hair pulled forward and covering her face. Like Goatman, I wasn't able to make out what your first link was either until you posted this one of her.

That's what George Michael said when his agent confronted him about his arrest.

Meh. The U.S. 'Home Security' tards wouldn't let 'Cat Stevens' into the U.S. He did convert to Islam.

Maybe they were afraid of that 'Moon Shadow' song.

I'd rather be blown up on a plane than be such a pussy.

The band were thrown off the flight to Stansted after a passenger told cabin crew of his concern that the group were sitting separately after sitting together in the terminal building. He also said he believed Toussaint was feigning blindness. The passenger, who claimed to be a psychology lecturer, then threatened to leave the flight with his family unless the band members were removed. A further two families then made similar complaints.

Nobody believed a blind calypso musician? Don't their garish calypso outfits emblazoned with "Caribbean Steel International Orchestra" stand out amid the regular terrorist uniform, such as a white baseball cap cg'd in multiple instances for the BBC?

Maybe Island Records harbor
terrorist calypso cells after all. The Chinese have been training blind lap guitar ninja's for centuries.. (one of my favorite scenes).

For me, the worst part was that the pilot made no effort to speak to us once the police had cleared us."

So long as "shoe bombs" are searched for we are all blind calypso musicians forced to sleep at a Sardinia bus stop.

"They were the only black people on the flight and certain [members] of the crew indicated to the pilot that they were not prepared to fly with the group."

If these musicians would have been white and done the exact same things, nobody would have even noticed.

It's gotta suck to be other than white in the lands of the white.

The Caribbean Steel International Orchestra is a known front for that known terrorista Cat Stevens.

Did their steel drums and gear get chucked off too? How hard could it have been for the Italian authorities to have them set up and rip through a cover of One Drop Pop right there on the tarmac?

I hope that psychologist putz that fingered them is proud of himself. Or was it that they were...(gasp) black? Great...now we can include "flying while black" to the list.

And had a lap full of scar tissue.

Which is what you would expect if you dumped boiling water on your beaver. How stupid is that?

certain [members] of the crew indicated to the pilot that they were not prepared to fly with the group,"

Was that because the group were acting like a bunch of idiots? If they would behave themselves and act like normal people most of their troubles would go away.

The article doesn't mention or expose anything about erratic behavior, unlike your post.

Posted by Sniper

How came you to the conclusion that the group (assuming the band) was "acting like a bunch of idiots," not behaving themselves, and not acting like "normal" people?

Seems to me that the only "troubles" the band was having was due to a bunch of paranoid white folk. If the white folk weren't comfortable being in the same aircraft with those obviously suspicious black folk, then the white folk should have carried through with their petty little threats and deplaned.

It would have been most interesting if it was the black folk who complained about a group of white folk and voiced similar concerns.

Now if they had kicked 'em off for playing that nasty fucking music, then I could understand... it just seems like Waspy paranoia.

I have flown on a plane with negros before and there wasn't any problem. Of course they acted like all the other regular people on the plane. You know it is very rare to see others than whites on a plane so I can see your point (if you realy have one).

I guess people are free to act out any whim they may have but.... there is a price to pay for being very much different than the people around you. That goes for anywhere in the world, not just here in the USA.

"Idiots. Terrorists are Arabs."

Seriously. When I'm waiting for a flight and playing "Spot the Potential Terrorist (PT)", I'm not spending much time looking for black people. They seem to hate terrorists more than anyone. In fact, sometimes I see that a black guy is scrutinizing the same PT that I am and we nod at each other like "I see him too and he if acts up I'm with you".

"Dude, 'terrorists', only exists in your mind."

What a retard. You remind me of a stoner friend from high school who once said about walking through poison ivy "Just don't think about it and it won't bother you....."

"I have flown on a plane with negros before and there wasn't any problem. Of course they acted like all the other regular people on the plane. You know it is very rare to see others than whites on a plane..."

Why refer to blacks as "negroes," but not refer to whites as "caucasians"?

Hmmmmmm...

Why refer to blacks as "negroes," but not refer to whites as "caucasians"?

Posted by ZOT

And your point is?? OK a plane full of caucs. Does that make you feel better? It has nothing to do with my point.

Negro is a race as is caucasian. Black and white arn't much of anything. So what has changed?

You libs never stay on point so it's real hard to argue with you. I guess that's by design. It is very much like name calling when you have no arguement.

Schnippzer...why don't you join us here in the 21st century by first realizing that black people have not been referred to as "negroes" for well over 30 years now.

And then you might want to take a look at how you artlessly framed your worthless statement to inadvertently reveal that you don't consider black people as being "regular." Tres clumsy, flufferpuff.

And, finally, in the course of my daily job of meeting people at the terminal gates at one of the busiest airports in the world, I have to tell you that your idiotic statement about how it's rare for black people to fly only confirms my suspicion that you are one uber-stupid, misinformed individual and, at the end of the day, just another babbling, obsolete cracker racist pining for the good old days. Slither off and lick your wounds or I'll take it down to the bone.

"You libs never stay on point "

Me? A lib? You're way confused.
