U.S. Sen Patty Murray -- Senator Asks Students to Ponder (Sen. Murray lauds Osama bin Laden)

Columbian ^ | 12/19/2002 | Gregg Herrington

[Poohbah]

I'm speechless.

I'll bet Patty wishes she was, unless the Jihadist A$$hole vote bloc is big enough to be decisive in Washington State.

If there's a videotape of the speech, her opponents are going to show it 24/7 until she's up for re-election (which, IIRC, is in 2004).

She's evil. She applauds evil. She's not gonna live this one down.

[Poohbah]

Hugh Hewitt asked that we express ourselves here.

OK, here goes:

Well, hopefully some national reporter will pick this story up, otherwise nothing will happen. I've emailed it to some; perhaps others might do the same? :-)

[Paul Atreides]

I hope that you are correct, but isn't Washington state a haven for loony lefties?

[HighWheeler]

"....and concert choirs serenaded her with holiday carols."

Oh I see. Those must have included the traditional Chanuka Carols, Muslim Carols, Kwanzaa Carols, and Hindi Carols among others.

[HighWheeler]

LOL!

[IslandJeff]

Will you WA state Republicans please save this nonsense for the next campaign against Patty?

I think a lot of us would love to, if only our state GOP could find someone who could contend "west of the mountains".

We're praying every day for such a person.
Ping.

[Poohbah]

No need for a national reporter...no need to get the Democrat damage control machine spun up to alert status.

Instead, we'll just metaphorically stuff this speech up her alimentary canal, twist the blade a few turns, then snap it off :o)

[Man of the Right]

Washington State may have seen its last Republican statewide office holder for some time. When I lived in Portland from '75-'82, both Oregon and Washington were swing states. At the time, Oregon was slightly Republican, and Washington was slightly Democrat -- blue-collar Democrat, not Sandinista Democrat. By the time I returned to live in Washington State from '98-'02, Democrats held the upper hand in both Washington and Oregon, thanks to heavy leftist in-migration from California and the East and the leftist-inspired local demise of blue collar industries -- defense, aircraft assembly, aluminium manufacturing, forest products, mining, and fishing. Seattle and Portland are now politically to the left of Boston and I would argue, San Francisco. Understand how Berkeley, Calif. perceives the world and you begin to understand politicians like Murray.

If they recapture national office, it's tantamount to ordering up a nuclear detonation in your home town.

Just the left side.

[Argus]

We can never capture or kill all the terrorists Nazis and those who support them.

But we didn't have to, did we? And we haven't had to wage war against them again, have we? At least not the German ones. And we won't have to wage another war against the Arab ones after we clobber them the way our fathers did Germany in WWII.

[swarthyguy]

Try telling that to the root causes crowd that the Richest Arab country hates us the most. And is our sworn and mortal enemy no matter how many foto ops we see from Crawford or the WH.

"He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that. I defy anyone to cite an example of a single day care center built or funded by Ussama bin Laden. As to the schools where he gets most of his recruits they are not funded by him or established by him, they are funded primarily by the Saudi Royal family as a sop to the Wahhabi sect. If he was building roads where are they there were certainly not found in Afghanistan? Name one health care facility founded by UBL? Impossible because there are none. He has built no infrastructure that task is one the United States of America undertakes, often unilaterally, and usually all we get is local resentment.

UBL's appeal to the Muslim masses is the appeal to the hatreed that is endemic to human beings. It is an appeal to the urge for plunder and pilage. He promises recruits power and prestige even if only in death. Such power and prestige it is impossible to otherwise attain without being born to it.

Such apeals have worked for the ages. Such appeals filled the ranks of the the Chekka, the KGB, the Stasi, the Gestapo and the SS. The fact that a person who holds such a high office would say this is appalling beyond belief. It makes Trent Lott look like a master of phrasing to influence African American voters.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

>>pay the jizyah as all good dhimmi must do

All you "peoples of the book" of revealed religions get that privilege.

Not us kaffirs.

[j_tull]

my I ask who Karl Rove has selected to run against this garbage, LOL.

The RNC has long since written us (Washington State) off. There will be no high profile candidate. The state party is an absolute shipwreck, and we got 0 RNC help for the few congressional races where we had a viable candidate. Rove won't give this race a second thought.

[Poohbah]

Hey, what happened? It looked FINE in preview, especially where I said
