You weren't defending Jews. You were using them, and Christians, in a hypothetical, to discredit FREEPERS. Yes, that's anti-Semitic. You did the same with blacks. That's racist.
To: DentsRun
Making threats against people is a serious crime. I'd like to know what you would say if someone had failed to report a real threat because they thought it was a joke or because they didn't want to seem bigoted. PC gone mad.

The Muslims are caucasoids, so it can't be racist, for another caucasoid to call the police on them. They aren't Jews, so, even though Arabs are Semites ( and two of the stooges are of Pakistani heritage, which also makes them caucasoids ; but NOT Semites ! ) , the phrase " anti-Semite " is only conferred on Jew hating slanders. Attacking even one person for his race is still racism. Attacking anyone for their religion is bigotry. The nurse's son could tell they were jerking her around (because she was was staring at their headgear?). If she couldn't tell they were jerking her around too she should give her nursing job to her son becuase he obviously has more sense than she does.

You weren't there. You have NO idea what Mrs. Stone's son said or " felt ", as it has NOT beeen reported / commented upon. You do NOT know that she was " staring " at them. Only
ONE of them, was wearing a white , crochetted , Muslim skullcap. The others were bareheaded and clean shaven.
Since you originally, incorrectly claimed that Eunice was a W-A-I-T-R-E-S-S,your credibility is zilch. You just don't like that anyone would tell the police anything. You don't want to " KEEL " before any person of authority, and you most assuredly don't give a damn about this country, her peoples, nor anyone other than yourself. You make blanket, juvenile statements about Mrs. Stone's worthiness to be a nurse. That is patently ridiculous. You don't know her, her nursing abilities, and obviously are pro-Muslim / terrorist.

What I want to know is why she thought it was a real threat when her son could clearly see that they were just fooling around with her? Either she's wrapped too tight, or she knew it was a joke and just decided to teach them a lesson because they were Muslims and she knew it was okay to be openly bigoted against Muslims in America because she reads Free Republic and sees casual bigotry there all the time.

This guy next door cuts his grass during air alerts with his gas mower, he is seen eating too much beef from his charcoal grill, and he SMOKES! Yoi! What a guy!

Now Eunice Stone is a FREEPER and you are saying that
ALL or even most FREEPERS are openly bigoted ? Is that what you are saying ?
Gee, what a mindreader, you are. NOT !
To: DentsRun
Yes of course. Everyone in the world who reads FR is bigotted and is trying to get Muslims. I'm sure someone, somewhere thought Atta and crew were suspicious but were disuade from calling someone because their collegue/son/family member thought they were just joking around.
Perhaps people shouldn't say stupid things in a public restaurant where other people can here them. If they wanted to get a rise out of her then they succeeded. What if someone you didn't know talked about mugging you after you left the restaurant? Would you automatically assume they were joking?

Only ONE of them, was wearing a white , crochetted , Muslim skullcap. The others were bareheaded and clean shaven. No, I wasn't there and neither were you. I'm relying on press accounts which widely (and repeatedly) reported that the nurse's son said (to the best of my memory), "mom, they're just fooling (or joking) with you."
It's true I don't know why they decided to tease her. But one reason could be that they were pissed because she was looking at the one man's headgear suspiciously. If someone looked at me because I was wearing my customary headdress I'd be pissed too. If it was clear to her son that they were jerking her around, why couldn't she see it too, unless of course she didn't want to, given that it was payback time in America.

Those Freepers who blindly lash out at all Muslims in this country are without a question bigoted. And I've seen many such posts on Free Republic, ranging from calls to throw all Muslims out of America to nuking Baghdad even though we're supposedly attacking Iraq to free the average Iraqi citizen.

Thumbs up to this woman. I think, as a side-bonus, anything that makes mohammedans feel more uncomfortable and unwelcome in America is ipso facto a good thing, and functional in the larger context of our war with Islam. We really don't these savages and their creepy, death-cult religion in our country. This is a civilized country, not a Third World sewer.
To: DentsRun
How many times does someone have to tell you, that she said that she thought that it could have been a hoax, but after weighing the outcome, of NOT reporting it, she decided to ? She said, and it was reported IN PRINT, far more times, than anything her son said. BTW, the media reported so much , that was erronious / inaccurate, that you have NO idea what was said / happened.
First it was " their " headresses and now, after giving you FACTUAL info, which until I posted it, you did not know, you say that she was staring at the jerk in the skullcap. You're quite a piece of work, dear. Now, just out of morbid curiosity, what kind of headgear, doi you wear ? One of those floppy, checkered tableclothe things, that Arabs wear ? Are you a Seik and wear a turban ? Is is now against the law and / or taking away your " rights and freedoms ", to be looked at in public ? Have you reached your 30th birthday yet ? I'm being kind; you sound adolescent. :-)
To: DentsRun
You have NO " common sense ".

How much are the Saudis paying you ?

What is the Muslin equivelent to "Hey dude, hold my beer. Watch this."

You are a LIAR and I'm getting bored by your bloviation.
Since FR and so many FREEPERS are so dreadful, in your blinkered opinion, then I suggest that you leave or just quit posting. FR hasn't and obviously isn't doing you any good. Why stay ?
You've accused FREEPERS of doing thus and so. You've done the same about Eunice ... without a shred of evidence. You don't know the proven facts of the case, but you imagine that you can say any old thing and have credibility here ?
That shoe, which you keep tossing around, doesn't " fit " me, dear. Sorry, I've been here for a very long time. I dare you to find and CCP one post of mine, that " fits " your delsuional ravings. Just one, dear; go for it. :-)
To: CWOJackson
LOL ... I haven't the slightest idea. :-)
To: DentsRun
given that it was payback time in America.
As Bill Clinton once said " You Aint Seen Nothing Yet ! "
