What is with the “You said”? Nine out of every ten of your posts start with “You said”.

Just seems condescending repeating everything a poster has said. Instead of just replying. And it takes up a lot of space.

FWIW

Not everyone would agree with you. There doesn’t seem to be a political message. All indications are that he was a miserable nutcase that wanted to die, and go out in a big blaze of glory to teach everyone a lesson for his pain.

<< How can we verify whether it was Ismail Ax or A. Ismail? >>

I also looked closely at the label NBC showed on their news program and noted the spelling in particular.

It clearly looked like “A. Ishmael” although the “ae” were sort of scrawled.

I can’t post a link here, as the video is a javascript pop-up style, but if you go to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ and look at the top of the page, you should see: “WATCH ‘NIGHTLY NEWS’ VIDEO: Killer Cho Seung-Hui speaks.”

I believe that video has a photo of the actual envelope sent to NBC. I saw the envelope on MSNBC 15 minutes ago and could only make out the $14.40 he paid for postage - the other text was too small to see.

Great Minds Think Alike. I said above he conjured up a demonic religion where the Columbine killers are “martyrs.”

Yeah, and TWA 800 was brought down by those crazy Muslim terrorists who failed to take credit for it. A hallmark of these crazy Islamists is that they proudly take credit for the terror they cause. He was clearly a nutcase. See the 2005 voluntary admission to mental facility, crazy rambing about the rich, etc. There is enough Islamic terrorism in the world without having to assign every nutcase to the jihad.

I think another place where the Ismail came from was a thread yesterday with a pic of an Asian young man, on the web somewhere, and below was a reference to his wanting to be called Ismail.

I don’t remember the headline of the thread.

The HATE America, Hate Bush attitudes of NBC and the MSM were being ingrained into this young skull full of mush on a daily basis. ?

....enabled by the 'rats in DC, first by saying Bush stole the election, then that he was stupid, then that he is evil. They also like to repeat ad nauseum that the whole world hates the US. He also went to public school, in many of which there is fair amount of USA-is-an-oppressor-nation being taught.

None of the above groups will ever accept responsibility for the incredible damage they have done since they mean well and CARE. gag

It’s his way of quoting the post he’s replying to, not unlike when people italicize the quote. Relax.

Matthews asked Capus, “Is Ishmael referring to Moby Dick character?” Capus said he had no idea.

While I of course agree with your general sentiment, to be perfectly accurate Al Queda actually had a policy for a long time of not immediately taking specific credit for stuff.

It does have all the trappings of the suicide bomber and their final statement, doesn’t it ... The simple fact that he made the photos, tape and wrote the manifesto says it sure wasn’t spontaneous, or a love quarrel for that matter.

This was a premeditated suicide attack, same as any terrorist suicide bomber anywhere does.

Now whether he was an Islamic terrorists, don’t think we can make that statement. But homegrown sort of fits.

I say Terrorists, what other purpose can you assign to what he did but to terrorize

Hating the Rich has been around since the French Revolution and long before that in various peasant revolts, etc.

Return addy included the word ‘Ismail’

Freshly shaven head also.
Ranting about this being payback for what "you" did to "them".

Media can't understand what caused him to do this
