about the sleazy attempt to create news by NBC Dateline, by sending Muslim ringers to NASCAR events, hoping to provoke and secretly videotape some juicy anti-Islamic reactions from NASCAR fans (Kudos to
for letting this nasty little cat out of the bag).
NASCAR officials are not pleased that the NBC News division is hoping to make buffoons out of their fans.
From MSNBC:
That's assuming that "legitimate journalist" isn't an oxymoron, and that journalists are capable of embarrassment. I haven't seen much evidence that they are. Quick, someone check with

All NBC needs is for one bubba to do a double take, and one of the a-rabs to say it made him feel "tense", and NBC has their story.

Carlos, please don't refer to Southerners as "Bubbas", it's insulting and condescending. I don't insult your people, and I ask the same of you.
Now, having said that; they must think these good old boys won't go sideways on them in a hearbeat if they want to start some crap. If muslims cause us trouble, they'll get a war of extermination, because we don't like anyone causing trouble, and especially not some damn parasitic foreigners who think we should kiss their asses. If they start a war, they won't be able to live in any part of the South for too long, except maybe Florida and Atlanta.
We're sick of everyone telling us how we should be and what we should do. We're generally civilized people, and most of us treat anyone as they treat us, and we're more polite than anyone else in the country on average. This is why so many people are moving to the South, and if they make good neighbors, they're welcome to live here, but if not, they're welcome to leave. The muslims are welcome to leave.

dude,
bubba's an insult? If I thought so, I wouldn't have said it. As I see it, they are this country's last best hope against Lefties like actus. So I don't see it as an insult by any means.

Is it me, or has something gone seriously wrong with Michelle Malkins profile pic. I've refreshed it, but the same one keeps popping up.

Actus, you need to sit this one out because you don't know what you're talking about.
IM you are so right about southerners. Contrary to popular belief, there is less racism in the rural south than there is in any urban setting anywhere in the country. Far less. The people are much friendlier and neighbors help each other out with no expectations.
I would ask one thing though in regards to Florida. North Florida is quite different than South Florida. So when referring to us Floridians, that distinction must be made. South Florida is a bastion of liberalism and lefties. We in North Florida are "southerners". We still know what hospitality is and what it means to have manners.

Carlos: Yeah, "Bubba" is insulting, because nobody in the South calls a Southern man "Bubba".
Oyster: You're right, North Florida is the home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, et al, and you just can't get more Southern than that. My apologies.
And Rectus: Bubba is Southern for mensch? Wow, two complete misses with one shot!

Who knows if it was right. But it went over well when he called it in to a NYC radio station.

No problem, IM. Hence the term "Florida Crackers" much like "Georgia Crackers". We consider Daytona the longitudinal delimiter.

What the hell, I don't mind NBC going to a NASCAR race, even if it is for baiting purposes — with a few conditions. First, if they're really going to "prove" something (and I use the term loosely), let's not limit it to "flag-wavin' Southern redneck" events; do the same thing at Fenway, at a West-Coast PGA tournament, at a Midwestern Six Flags amusement park, and any place else where large numbers of people gather. Then one could at least draw some slightly - and only slightly - more legit (for TV news anyway) conclusions. Seriously, wouldn't it be revealing if the "A-rabs" got their lynching at The Masters rather than The Brickyard?

Well, I would like to see NBC go to a few mosques here in the US and see if there is any hate literature around. Or listen in to one of the imams when he thinks all the infidels are gone. Now that would be interesting, and it also might give all those NASCAR fans something to worry about, as a terrorist bombing by radical Muslims is much more likely than an attack on a Muslim by NASCAR fans.
I doubt whether actus and his ilk would be very concerned about a terrorist attack at a NASCAR event anyway. They would probably say serves them right. That king of hate is what drives these NBC bigots to target NASCAR in the first place.

What would be interesting if they sent someone in the NBC news studios with a W. or Newt shirt on and see the abuse and discrimination. Or even send in someone with an american flag or a cross on their shirt. They would be treated much worse than any muslim at NASCAR.

I don't know about any of these examples, they're all conjecture, but if NBC is trying to prove bigotry at the typical NASCAR event, and they show that a Muslim got his ass kicked by asking directions to the can or something, it'll mean nothing unless the same thing takes place at other events deemed less "Southern." If NBC is smart, they'll spread the experiment around.

I was listening to “The Herd” on ESPN this am and they were talking about this. I guess it is true. Hard to believe NBC would put their NASCAR investment in jeopardy to appease Rock Phillips and his arrogant pals in the news division.
NASCAR fans are very loyal to the sponsors and go out of their way to buy the goods and services advertised on the cars. Reason enough for these companies to pay all that money to get their name on the hood. IÂ’m sure the reverse of this will be true as well. Any company dumb enough to buy airtime for Dateline will probably feel it in the pocketbook.
Note to NBC: If you want to see real discrimination and intolerance, park an SUV with “W” and “Abortion is Murder” bumper stickers around the green lake area of Seattle and leave it for a day. Pick up the rig at 5 and see how tolerant the left really is.

WHAT THE F***!!! And NBC was trying to get more NASCAR coverage in recent contract talks? I guess if you can't win, just resort to tactics like the LOWLIFE SCUM at Dateline. Not to worry NBC, DISH and DIRECT TV offer so much more than you could ever hope to. As far as the races go, I'll just listen to the on MRN or PRN via local radio and not hassle with the BS provided by the hosts. By the way, that means that I won't be observing all of those high price ads from the sponsors. Sorry!!
One last jab: NBC=NOTHING BUT CRAP!
Fitting, don't you think?

Oyster, the term "Florida Cracker" is in reference to the old Florida cowboys who rounded up the wild cattle left by the Spanish; apparently they used bullwhips like the Australians instead of lariats like the Western cowboys, and so were "whipcrackers". The term "cracker" applied by blacks to Southen whites in general also refers to whipcrackers, but as slave masters, not cattle drivers. I could be wrong, but what research I've done, including talking to a couple of old-timers, bears this out.

I want to go to Mecca, with my Bikini Clad Nascar wife. Would they look at us and frown? Would they look at us, and drag my wife up to the chopping block for plastic surgery? Headless is hopeless in Mecca. Or would they let my Bikini clad wife off the plane, or on the plane, in the first place?
Would NBC do a segment on Muslim Rascism to Infidels like us?
Come on NBC, have some guts for once, in your made up for news programing charade.
Send some white boys to Mecca. See how far you get.
Send some American servicemen into Japanese bars in Tokyo. The Japanese won't serve them, and tell them to leave. They are not welcome. "No American's," they smile, as they tell you to leave. They even kick out the blacks. They are equal oportunity rascists.
There's some NBC rascist stories for you. At least we let them into the race. That's more than I can say for the Muslims with Mecca, and the Japanese with their Bars.

Nice try nbc with the nascar fiasco. no wonder nbc is constantly at the bottom of the ratings. Is'nt there enogh news out there, instead of trying to create news. I laughed so hard seeing your reporter in a canoe on a flooded street in ankle deep water. How about putting orthodox jews into a mosque? Your condescending view of middle america is disturbing.
