My favorite part was the truthful portrayal ala Baghdad Bob:

Qutb wrote about Greeley in his book, The America I Have Seen. He offered a distorted chronology of American history: "He informed his Arab readers that it began with bloody wars against the Indians, which he claimed were still underway in 1949," Siegel says. "He wrote that before independence, American colonists pushed Latinos south toward Central America -- even though the American colonists themselves had not yet pushed west of the Mississippi... Then came the Revolution, which he called 'a destructive war led by George Washington.'"

You know, for someone so against sex, he sure was descriptive about what he saw..........
Bet he would drop dead in his tracks to see America now....

I'm pretty shocked — Greeley has all the decadence of Pa Kettle on Valium. Born and raised there, I spent my teens and 20s trying desperately to get into the very "trouble" of which Qutb complained. No dice! Greeley is a town where they'd lynch Pat Buchanan for being liberal.
