Atamant,
The Dieudonne case I explained before clearly demonstrated that France and her media is not fair and balanced when dealing with hate speech.
I am only bothered by the lack of balanced and fair response to alleged hate speech in Europe (and North America).

Yeah, what I find very interesting and its what I have been basically saying since the first Galliano news is the fact that such a big deal is made specifically by this type of hate speech.

JT selects 5 news items to put into their "World" news section. They chose at least 3 news items about the Galliano case in about a week. If it wasn't considered important news, don't you think they would have chosen other news instead of this.

Indeed, and I'm also surprised that this has been considered such an important world news; its the third AP article about Galliano's troubles in about a week!

AdamB,
From wiki: "In 2007, analysis of an audio tape recording of the shooting made by freelance reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski appeared to indicate, according to forensic expert Philip Van Praag, that thirteen shots were fired, even though Sirhan's gun held only eight rounds.[51][55] Van Praag states that the recording also reveals at least two cases where the timing between shots was shorter than humanly possible. The presence of more than eight shots on the tape was corroborated by forensic audio specialists Wes Dooley and Paul Pegas of Audio Engineering Associates in Pasadena, California, forensic audio and ballistics expert Eddy B. Brixen in Copenhagen, Denmark,[56][57] and audio specialist Phil Spencer Whitehead of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.[58] Some other acoustic experts, however, have stated that no more than eight shots were recorded on the audio tape.[59]"
So, several experts say there were more than 8 shots. We also have more than 8 bullets recovered.
Also, RFK's security guard (Cesar) who was pressed up against RFK's back right side and holding his right arm in his left hand as Sirhan jumped out and fired his first two shots from several feet away. Donald Schulman, the only eyewitness to correctly see that Robert Kennedy had sustained three bullet wounds, not two, saw this guard pull his gun and apparently fire back at Sirhan, Cesar's bow tie, knocked off and lying near RFK as he died, seems to have been in the exact spot where the gun needed to be located that delivered the fatal bullet moving up and forward into Kennedy's brain: pressed up tight to Kennedy's back right side, and neck high. Thane Cesar owned a .22 (the caliber of Sirhan's gun), but said he sold it before the assassination. Then he said he sold it after the assassination. Then the gun was stolen from the new owner.

Were there Muslims before Jesus? Me think not.
I don't think the "Christ killer" charge was used by the Nazis as an excuse/reason to carry out the holocaust. And I wonder how much it was used in previous persecutions.

One should definitely not be driving when drunk, but talking is fine.
Having said that, he seems like a messed up fellow. What he said was wrong/offensive. But what ever happened to "sticks and stones may ...." Firing him seems a little harsh, not that I'll miss his designs in any way.

Yeah, they will always get someone to contradict investigation results, to provide ammunition to people like you. Speaking of ammunition, how do you explain the extra bullets found at the scene.
And look carefully at what the witnesses claimed, it was clearly not Sirhan who fired the fatal shot.
No, I am just saying there is plenty of evidence against RFK being killed for his support of Israel. Do you realize that if RFK had not been shot, AIPAC would not be as powerful today and things would probably be much different in the US and the rest of the world.

I saw the video, and there indeed seems to be something wrong with this fellow.
It seems he doesn't know very much about the guy.

...placing the alleged killer feet in front of RFK, while the fatal bullet was fired at very close range behind the head
... ten bullets recovered and even more shots detected from teh acoustics from a gun that cannot hold more than 8 bullets!!!
confessions to something he does not remember, even under hypnosis!
I suspect he was placed under some sort of trance and held a gun and fired, but it appears he is not the killer. He's a patsy.

No, I think RFK was killed because he was very much opposed to the Vietnam war.
And I don't think the Kennedys were all that pro-Irael. JFK was the last US President to call for inspections of Israeli nuclear facilities and both were going after AIPAC's predecessor, trying to force it to register as a foreign agent and open its books. We couldn't let any of that happen.

I hope the Egyptian people get all the funds of the Mubarak family and their criminal friends.

No, this is not my opinion/wild speculation. Some of the evidence comes from the autopsy report, others from the LAPD investigation, and the acoustic analysis was done a few years ago.
There is also a BBC documentary by Shane O’Sullivan that shows clearly the CIA's likely involvement. Have a look!

Indeed, and all witnesses place Sirhan in front of RFK, no closer than a few feet. Yet powder burns indicated that three shots had been fired from very close range (0 to 1-1/2 inches) to his back (and back of the head). At no time was Sirhan ever behind RFK.
Sirhan's gun held a maximum of 8 bullets but a total of ten were recovered. The door frames were burned, the LAPD claimed no bullets were found lodged in the "bullet holes", and two expended bullets (inexplicably dug out of wood) were soon found in the front seat of Sirhan's car. The LAPD then destroyed their records of the tests that had been done on the "bullet holes" in the doorframe.

"It has been demonstrated that:
Sirhan's gun could only hold a maximum of 8 bullets, yet scientists confirmed through acoustic analysis of a recording that 13 shots were fired.
The gun used matched that of RFK's guard.
RFK was shot from behind, but Sirhan was in front of him.

Its a shame this patsy has to waste his life away in jail while the real killers run free.

Also, if you Google "Dior suspends Galliano for alleged anti-Semitism" you'll see how wide-spread this story is. The title and the article's contents are from AP, not JT.

Galliano made an anti-Jewish comment ("1000 times"), an anti-Asian comment, and made a death threat. Dior decides to suspend him for "anti-semitism", not for anti-Asianism or for the death threat.
Yes, that baseless accusation continues to be thrown at me, by people who aren't intelligent enough to demonstrate how my comments are antisemitic.
I don't recall ever saying that Galliano's "anti-semitic" assault was good or that I agreed with it.

Indeed, only one religion gets SPECIAL protection. The other religions get occasionally get some protection. But hey, go ahead and continue splitting hairs.
BTW, do any of you consider the alleged anti-semitic remark to be worst than the death threat or the anti-Asian remark?
