Anyone notice? Media's sly push to make Bin Laden look like a "rich" person?

[bucs90]

Anyone notice this sly trick the left wingers of media played? They kept referring to OBL's home as a "mansion"? Maybe I'm cynical. But that place wasn't a mansion by any means. It looked like American section-8 government housing.

But they wanted OBL to have the image of living in a "mansion". An evil rich guy. The class warfare never ends. Of course. How could he be evil without first being rich!!!

His father was a billionaire. That's with a B.
He inherited much, and had hundreds of millions.

And like section-8 government housing?

What an idiotic premise.

I'm sure he appreciates your support and best wishes.

It seems like with all those wives and kids in the house, he could have gotten a little house work accomplished. The place was a pig pen.

He was wealthy, Bucs.

So too are most of the people who Osama hated, also rich.

Not that that has much to do with the CLASS wars going on in this nation, of course.

He came from a very wealthy family. He was still wealthy on his own and that is why it will be difficult for Al Queda to continue to stay organized. We cut off the head of the snake..

Bush should have long ago.

"The financial interests of the bin Laden family are represented by the Saudi Binladin Group, a global oil and equity management conglomerate grossing $5 billion U.S. dollars annually, and one of the largest construction firms in the Islamic world, with offices in London and Geneva."

bin Laden Family​

"For years, the bin Laden family was very familiar with Houston hospitality.

The once-wealthiest non-royal family from Saudi Arabia reportedly owned a house in Houston’s River Oaks area, but that’s not all, said Joan Neuhaus Schaan, a terrorism expert with the Baker Institute.

She says many Saudi families found Houston appealing in the 1970s and 80s.

“Texas was the center of the oil industry,” Schaan said.

The bin Ladens would discover that the energy capital could make them even richer."

bin Laden Family; Texas-Ties​

"When President George W. Bush froze assets connected to Osama bin Laden, he didn't tell the American people that the terrorist mastermind's late brother was an investor in the president's former oil business in Texas. He also hasn't leveled with the American public about his financial connections to a host of shady Saudi characters involved in drug cartels, gun smuggling, and terrorist networks.

Doing business with the enemy is nothing new to the Bush family."

This is confusing as this OP could be a contender for idiot Post of the week? The contest gets tougher to judge every day or is that every minute?


"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." Shakespeare, Macbeth

Looks more like a bunker than a mansion

Regardless, they lived life pigs, crap furniture and clutter all over the place. Even poor people know how to use a broom

Right, which I think was his point.

Looks like a million sure doesn't go far in that neighborhood

They were powerful too, in the Saudi inner circles.

What the fuck?

It's not a "sly" push. It's a fact. Osama Bin Laden comes from one of the richest families in the world. By the way..they are so rich..the Bushes did business with them

Try getting your facts straight before posting.

Was this because of President George Bush's close ties to the bin Laden family?

In 1978, Bush and Osama bin Laden's brother, Salem bin Laden, founded Arbusto Energy, an oil company based in Texas.

Several bin Laden family members invested millions in The Carlyle Group, a private global equity firm based in Washington, DC. The company's senior advisor was Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush. After news of the bin Laden-Bush connection became public, the elder Bush stepped down from Carlyle.

Bin Laden was filthy rich and powerful.

He was one of many deep pockets that support Islamic terrorism.

 

[Vast LWC]

Yeah, this is a really stupid thread.

Anyone notice this sly trick the left wingers of media played?

And thus in light of the fact OBL was wealthy, there was no ‘sly trick’ played by the ‘left wing media.’

Hard to say which is more embarrassing, your ignorance or your partisan bias.

 

[konradv]

Yeah, this is a really stupid thread.

Could be in the running for "The Stupidest Thread Ever", but then I don't have the stomach to read all the OP's threads, O'Limbeck have proved that stupidity is catching.
