Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! was in San Antonio October 2006 as keynote speaker for Lady Fest San Antonio. Amy tells an Arabic T-shirt story about Iraqi Blogger Raed Jarrar, who was stopped at New York's JFK airport for wearing a T-shirt that said in English and Arabic "We Will not be Silent". Check out Raed's blog at Raedinthemiddle.blogspot.com. With commentary by Desmond Fahie. This clip was for San Antonio Public Access TV. Produced by 411 Productions.

  • Who ever calls Amy names, may camel dung be always on top of your head.

  • @LethalJizzle - No that's blaming the victim. It's not his fault that the staffon that airline are prejudiced against a language. He should be able to get on a plane with arabic tattooed on his head if he wants to. Arabic is read by the vast majority of muslims so anything up to 1.5 billion people. You can not demonise a language it's ludicrous. That number is not even including the arab christians, jews, athiests, ba'hais etc...

  • To be honest wearing a t-shirt that says "we will not be silent" in arabic is sort of asking for trouble.

  • lying bitch, parasitic whore, genetically flawed, anti-social, childless misfit

  • amy goodman is a whore

  • Amy Goodman didn't go to Egypt because she was afraid Far Rosen would make fun of her if she got raped.

  • When millions of Iraqis and Egyptians kill each other, you can blame this one stupid security guard.

  • Goodman wouldn't last 10 minutes in any country where fundamental islamic rulers have been oppressing women for thousands of years. I don't believe this tee shirt story for one second.

  • @BigMikeMcBastard Right now I am sitting, stranded in DFW airport in the company of people unknown to me. Glenn Beck isn't among us. A plane in Jackson Hole went off the runway. Everyone is commenting about it, nervously. What is the chance this will happen to their flight? Almost no chance. But here is a general atavistic fear about being off terra firma. You may be the an anomaly. In any case we don't look to scare our fellow citizens and create panic with the hope of making money.

  • @rscmrcmd You can read about what these people wore and see pictures of them on the Internet.

    It's provocative in that there's a YouTube video I'm commenting on about it. I'd be indifferent to it, as I'm indifferent to most shirts with things written on them.

    I wouldn't think anything of it. I could die at any time. I could die before I finish writing this sentence. No sense in worrying about it. Maybe that's just the soldier part of me talking, though.

    You are in Glenn's company, with your fear
