I find it sad that anyone would think we "deserved" it...but it's true.
Opinions anyone?
So many traitors. So few lamp posts.
When it all comes down, my friends, they'll get the rope. They hate America and everything it represents.
But when the photos came out showing a dirty, ragged John Walker Lindh, she was quite teary-eyed. "Poor guy."

Rove talked about liberals reaction. I thought all these people complaining about it are supposed to be "progressives" now??
Its almost like they are saying, "how dare Rove remind the nation how ineffectual we are".
Whenever I hear some leftist whining that he/she has had their patriotism impugned, it always makes me want to laugh. The term "liberal patriot" is an oxymoron: no such creature exists.
Semper Fi
Their traitorous hate speech is coming back to bite them
If you find this hard to believe, you're naive.
There are many enemies of America right here at home, and they're not all Muslims.
Thank you for posting it. I hope it's on every conservative blog and every conservative talk show for the next week. I also hope it's put into a format that will allow it to be easily e-mailed from each conservative to five liberals friends/acquaintances.
I teach in a fairly typical high school.
One day at lunch, one of my colleagues was expressing concern that a Bible was prominently displayed in the principal's office.
I said "Geez! It's not like it's Mein Kampf!"
Another (History) teacher and "Deaniac" responded "I would prefer it."
I was the only one in the room who was appalled.
These are dark times my friends...
"and finally and most horrifically, a direct quote, "At least we got rid of Barbara Olson."
Well, it is important to conduct yourself civilly, and learn how to harness your temper and emotions as you grow older. But I believe it is just as important to reserve the right to outrage. To say to oneself, I know what I SHOULDN'T do right now, but if I don't yield to what my heart and soul are demanding right now, this piece of puke will diminish me in a way that is permanent.
If someone had said that to me about the fine and good and lovely Barbara Olson TEN DAYS! after 9/11, there would have been copious amounts of blood on the floor. And that's including even if the heartless, immature mocker had been a woman.
Sure, I have a ton of them.
I find the use of the word "WE" in this context...telling.
They are living out their frustrated 1960's counterculture dreams vicariously, through the actions of people who are out to destroy THEM.
M.A.S.H. had it wrong. Suicide is NOT painless.
Full Disclosure: The theme song from the TV show was the music to "Suicide is Painless", which was sung in the original movie to a character who was planning/faking his own suicide in order to induce one of the nurses to go to bed with him.
No Cheers, given the original topic, unfortunately!
Yeah, here is some more examples;
"America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way"
( 4/26/2005 ) Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal is standing by her statement that the U.S. "is responsible in some way" for the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. "Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9-11," she said in a new statement issued by her publicist, according to New York Newsday. Gyllenhaal appears in the movie "The Great New Wonderful," which features five stories about people living in the aftermath of the Twin Towers attack. The piece is screening at the Tribeca Film Festival, an event Robert DeNiro helped launch in 2002 to benefit the recovery of Lower Manhattan.

"America, America. What did you do--either intentionally or unintentionally--in the world order, in Central America, in Africa where bombs are still blasting? America, what did you do in the global warming conference when you did not embrace the smaller nations? America, what did you do two weeks ago when I stood at the world conference on racism, when you wouldn't show up? Oh, America, what did you do?" -- Former San Francisco Supervisor Amos Brown on September 17.
"In a war on Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden will either be left alive, while thousands of impoverished, frightened people are bombed into oblivion around him, or he will be killed in a bombing attack for which he seems quite prepared. But what would happen to his cool armor if he could be reminded of all the good, nonviolent things he has done? Further, what would happen to him if he could be brought to understand the preciousness of the lives he has destroyed? I firmly believe the only punishment that works is love." -- Alice Walker, The Village Voice
"Melt their weapons, melt their hearts, melt their anger with love." -- Shirley MacLaine on her anti-terrorism policy
"In a situation like this, of course you identify with everyone who's suffering. [But we must also think about] the terrorists who are creating such horrible future lives for themselves because of the negativity of this karma. It's all of our jobs to keep our minds as expansive as possible. If you can see [the terrorists] as a relative who's dangerously sick and we have to give them medicine, and the medicine is love and compassion. There's nothing better." -- Richard Gere
1. "My daughter, who goes to Stuyvesant High School only blocks from the World Trade Center, thinks we should fly an American flag out our window. Definitely not, I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war." -- Katha Pollitt, The Nation, October 8
"Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes' destination of California--these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!" --Michael Moore, Michaelmoore.com, September 1
"At least we got rid of Barbara Olson."
Lots of these people are mentally unstable to begin with and the RAT pols are feeding the frenzy to rile them up even more. We can only hope the public sends a big message in 2006 that we are not going to tolerate hate speech by the likes of Howard Dean anymore.
