"What would you say of "hate crimes" in America? "

If an act is criminal according to US law, the perpetrator will be prosecuted.

Free speech and freedom of the press are the highest values. Acts are punishable, speech is not. This is America, Thank God.

"He?"

"He?" JR giveth and JR taketh away

[Cincinna]

Like your analysis. Oriana is a brave, thoughtful, and brilliant woman.

"I've read it. I've loved it. I let my relatives and friends to read it.

... Shall I have to face jail me too?

It it were so, I would be proud to go to prison. With Miss Fallaci."

I am so proud of Oriana Falacci, and I am not even Italian, but I do adore Italy.

Has anyone seen her be interviewed on radio or TV?

"I've read it. I've loved it. I let my relatives and friends to read it.

... Shall I have to face jail me too?

Next thing you know, reading a book will be declared a criminal act. It is the logical consequence of restricting free speech and freedom of the press.

Exactly. Purchasing illegal goods is also illegal.

I thought you two might like to read this.

Thanks for the ping.

"He?"

Son-of-Jomah, I would assume that was a he. Unless it is a she and trying to be clever. In any case, I don't have time for em.

[Americanexpat]

That's son_of_jonah. Sorry about that, just woke up.

[Cincinna]

By the time you woke up son_of_jonah had been banned

My mistake. Nathan Bedofrd Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the KKK, killed 30 U.S. troops -- still a body count any Islamic terrorist would envy.

Senator Durbin,

since May 30, 2005, you have posted 21 times of which 7 posts had to do with the War between the States in some fashion. That is, 66.66% of your "contributions" to this forum, whether directed toward me or toward other FReepers, have fixated on this single subject.

In general, one observes a pathological need to flaunt your knowledge at the expense of your addressee. Your posts to me have been unsolicited and sometimes ignored, yet you cannot let go of your obsession.

It is time for you to give it a rest or get therapy.

[Grand Old Partisan]

Yet you are the sicko who posts with the name and portrait of the killer of 30 U.S. troops, not to mention the dozens of blacks U.S. prisoners of war murdered by men under his command.

[Veto!]

You see this, wmp? Sounds like ciao to Italia as I knew it. Sux! Interesting that Oriana likes Ratzinger better than JP...my take exactly.
