Murray's terrorist question valid.

I live in Washington State and note that the Northwest is crawling with terrorists. In 1999 Raseem was caught by chance with explosives in his trunk crossing the border (how many more got through?). Another Islamic guy from Seattle named Ujamma cohorted with terrorist leaders in London and helped plan a terrorist training camp in Oregon.

The DC sniper lived in Tacoma and while in Bellingham was heard also praising Osama. Then there is a cell in Portland that was uncovered and one terrorist dreamed of killing 1000 Jews.

These are just the ones that we have caught. Yikes. They must be attracted to the area by the fond support of our leaders Murray and McDermott.

Compare her treatment (by the media) to Lotts' - then review comments by certain officials that the media is biased to the right. Geez!!!

You know there is nothing wrong with asking the question about why much of the world hates us. Nothing at all. Murray's points put in the right context are even worth asking. She fails to do one thing. Even thou she stated OBL is an evil terrorist, after the criticism of her remarks she argures bout her rights to speak instead of coming out and denounce Bin Laden. Because she will not admit that the U.S. also does good things around the world , she lets her true colors show, which are anti-america through and through. She is another liberal do gooder who thinks that the world should hold hands and everything will be ok.

Like I said before, it was not Murray's question which was offensive, it was her answer to her own question. Her statements weren't even true and showed the depth of her lack of understanding of the issue. She was simply spouting liberal rhetoric to a bunch of vulnerable high school kids who wouldn't know the enough to call her on it.

In addition to spouting incorrect facts in praise of bin Laden, Murray ignored the fact that in addition to the millions and millions in foreign aid, the US sends out many people in the name of private charities, who do good works among the Muslim peoples. Bin Laden may not have built healthcare centers (well, maybe one to treat his own kidney ailment), many missionaries have and they are being slaughtered for their efforts. One these missionaries was a former constituent of Ms. Murray.
