For the same reason that Che Guevara is loved in Latin America?

"We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world?," ,

That's a funny observation. If I recall correctly, Adolf Hitler was loved by his countrymen too. Maybe because he's promising his followers certain things (goods from Christians, Jews, Americans) after they are slaughtered; or maybe the doe-eyed virgins in the afterlife.

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

[defenderSD]

All I can say is: Patty Murray, what a stupid, dumb, ignorant, idiotic liberal moron!

[goodnesswins]

I don't think they printed all of what she said....I heard she also said "OBL is well liked because he is so helpful building health care facilities and helping his people, while we are the ones doing the bombing" (that's paraphrasing).......I am so angry .....I am faxing her a note along with a picture of people being forced to jump from the Twin Towers.....her fax # is 202-224-0238 (DC) her Seattle office phone number is...206-553-5545.

"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."

Lady, name some examples. But assuming you actually have a point - first, he's buying their loyalty. He's in no position of authority to exact REAL change - the countries are still impoverished and floundering. If anything, the country in which he enjoyed the highest level of "respect" grew much WORSE under his watch. He languished there with full support of the Taliban, one of the most repressive, backward regimes in history. Fat lot of good his presence did the average Afghan.

Secondly, and far more likely, their adoration has nothing whatsoever to do with any social improvements he has or hasn't made in their respective societies. It's all about ideology, lady. A sick, twisted one that glorifies death and destruction in the name of religion.

This woman is sick.

Lot of people loved Hitler during his time.


Sometimes women in leadership are an embarrassement to all of us other women in America. What a shameful embarrassment to the country!!!

[YoungKentuckyConservative]

This lady actually babysat me as a child and my family watched Randy, her son, on alternate days. It's amazing how corrupt and leftist she has become. The power has corrupted her, absolutely. She's not an insane person. She's just come under the influence of the DemonRATS and will do anything to secure her families place on the New World Order. How I'd like to slap her in the face and ask what happened to the sweet "Mom in Tennis Shoes" that used to watch me after school.

Just called the senator's office to express my outrage. Person answering the phone is as pathetic as the senator. Could hear the phone ringing like crazy in the background. Hope she gets the message. What a disgrace for a US senator

[sheik yerbouty]

We need a formal declaration of war so that fifth columnists like this witch can be locked up until the war is won.

[Rummyfan]

Yes this was posted last night but it bears repeating. This woman takes the prize for the most idiotic statement concerning UBL and terrorism. And considering what some public figures have said that is no mean feat!

Voters of Washington unite and get this embarassment out of the Senate in 2004! I will personally contribute to her ouster.

[dfwgator]

For the same reasons the Germans loved Hitler (and many still do).

[Vitamin A]

WE ALL AGREE THAT OSAMA IS A DISGRACE TO THE GENE POOL AND SHOULD BE SLOWLY TORTURED TO DEATH BY THE FAMILIES OF HIS VICTIMS.

IN HONESTY AND FAIRNESS TO THE SENATOR (LIBERAL THAT SHE IS) SHE WAS NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT OSAMA IS AN OK GUY, OR THAT HIS INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING JUSTIFIES HIS ACTIONS. SHE WAS SUGGESTING THAT IF THE USA WOULD PUT MORE HUMANITARIAN AID INTO OTHER COUNTRIES, WE WOULD BE MORE FAVORABLY RECEIVED THERE. AFTER ALL, IF AN SOB LIKE OSAMA CAN GET FAVORABLE RATINGS FOR BUILDING A ROAD OR SCHOOL, THINK OF WHAT THIRD WORLD OPINION ABOUT THE USA WOULD BE IF WE SPENT MORE TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY HELPING THE LESS FORTUNATE IN THIRD WORLD NATIONS.

AS IT IS, TERRIBLE CONDITIONS FESTER IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, GERMINATING EXTREMISM, AND THEN WHEN THEY LASH OUT AT US IN RABID IRRATIONALITY, THE ONLY WAY WE HAVE LEFT OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM IS BOMBING THEM. IS IT SUCH A TERRIBLE IDEA TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE BY MAKING GREATER STRIDES IN HUMANITARIAN AID, EXTENDING CHARITY TO AN EVEN GREATER EXTENT OUTSIDE OUR BORDERS, THUS SHOWING THE WORLD AMERICA'S GOODNESS? CALL ME CRAZY, BUT FOR EVERY DOLLAR WE SPEND BUILDING SCHOOLS AND ROADS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, I BET WE'D SAVE TWO DOLLARS WE'RE SPENDING NOW ON MILITARY ACTION. FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE FISCAL CONSERVATIVES, DOESN'T IT ANGER YOU HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE HAVING TO SPEND NOW TO MILITARILY WIPE OUT THE SCUM THAT HAVE BEEN BREEDING IN THE THIRD WORLD?

I SUPPORT THE PRESENT MILITARY ACTION NOW BECAUSE IT'S TOO LATE FOR OTHER OPTIONS, BUT WOULDN'T A HUMANITARIAN OFFENSIVE, FOUGHT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF RESOURCES AND DETERMINATION AS OUR PRESENT MILITARY OFFENSIVE, DO A HELL OF A LOT OF GOOD IN THE WORLD, AND SAVE US FROM HAVING TO DEAL WITH A HELL OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS THROUGH GUNS AND BOMBS?

BEFORE YOU CONDEMN ME, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK I'M NOT REALLY A REPUBLICAN, GO READ EISENHOWER'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. IT'S ON THE WEB AT A FEW DIFFERENT UNIVERSITY WEBSITES. I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING HE DIDN'T SAY 50 YEARS AGO. AND IKE WAS NO PANSY. IT'S BLOODY COMMON SENSE, PEOPLE.

[LibertarianLiz]

"He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities,

Where?

[dokmad]

Sounds like Sen. Murray is a candidate for some email. Anyone have her addy?

[SouthParkRepublican]

"Your generation ought to be thinking about whether we should be better neighbors out in other countries so that they have a different vision of us"

Great big black-holes sucking in my cash. Perhaps it emerges as change on the other side of the universe?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world?," ,

Because those in poverty that follow him believe him when he says that the US is to blame for their lot in life. So they follow him and die for him when he says he is committed to our destruction. Simple formula. It's been followed for years. Hitler used it to great effect.

[Michael.SF.]

"He's (Osama) 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.

Sounds more like she is talking about Jimmah.

Note to CIA: Stake out Afghanistan Home Depot's, he is bound to show up sooner or later.

"Sen. Murray (D)WA Asks Kids "If he's (Bin Ladin) so bad why is he so well liked"

For the same reason you were elected, Senator Murray, ignorance.
