I think it should be noted that it takes an American woman to speak for Muslim women since they are covered head to toe, have no voice and stoned to death when men so choose.

Murray should speak to us on women's rights in the countries where OBL is "loved."

Better yet, she owes all women an apology for defending a sexist.

I love the quote for the day.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Birds of a feather....

Why is anyone shocked when a socialist, who represents a socialist party, makes a statement praising America's enemies? It's been that way since the days of the Cold War and it's not about to change now.

[ASA Vet]

Do you think people would follow Bin Laden if he didn't actually do anything for them?

He's done nothing for anyone since his death over a year ago.
Tens of thousands more of his followers will join him in death.

[B Knotts]

If you are starving to death and some one starts to feed you, your going to listen to what they might have to say, he wins their hearts and minds.

Yep. That sure explains why 15 of the 19 9/11 killers came from Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest nations in the world.

[an amused spectator]

She was not praising Bin Laden, she was explaining why people will crash planes into building for him!

This is the nature of a thought crime: You and Patty Murray don't get to interpret what Murray said. I do.

I find her guilty as charged. She gave aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war, in a serial fashion, till she was caught.

[ContentiousObjector]

Why should we feed them? Why should we be blackmailed? This is a very liberal view you are presenting, feeding the world so that they don't blow us up. This is the way to socialism, providing people with the means to survive without any sort of exchange, simply because they need it and demand it and will kill people if they don't get it

It isn't really blackmail, because if Bin Laden wasn't doing it we could get away without caring.

It's because someone else is able to turn them against us that we have to care.

[ContentiousObjector]

Come Again?

[ContentiousObjector]

Bin Laden hates us because of that, but the illiterate masses in question wouldn't know we even exist if Bin Ladens propaganda didn't reach them unopposed.

[ContentiousObjector]

really?

And when exactly did the US start building hospitals and such across the thirdworld?

Bin Laden has influence over these people because his money reaches them and has a direct impact on their lives, american aid just ends up in the swiss bank accounts of corupt foreign leaders and UN agencies.

The point is Bin Laden has influence over these people because he gives them stuff, when someone gives you stuff you associate nice thoughts with them, when they think Bin Laden they think "Nice guy who built hospital" not "evil terrorist who slaughters innocent people",

Are you following this?, if America were to do the same, or at the very least undercut Bin Ladens ability to do these things, they would either develop a positive view of the US, or a less favorable view of Bin Laden

[ContentiousObjector]

that doesn't explain anything, Bin Laden has Saudi followers because they are cut from the same psychopathic cloth he is, the problem addressed here isn't the Saudi's, the problem is why the illiterate masses hold Bin Laden as a Christ figure

[dirtboy]

Which one is blasted by the media? Which one is forced to spend their time apologizing in order to keep their job? Which one is a danger to the American people serving in a very powerful political position?

And which one just gave her opponent a club to beat her over the head with come the next election?

[ContentiousObjector]

Aid and comfort to the enemy?

right... and a prosecutor who explains why a woman killed her rich husband for money to the jury is an accessory to murder.

She explained why Bin Laden has such a following and what America has to do to break his control over these people,

she didn't get up and say "Praise Allah, death to America!

Put the partisan psychobable away for a moment and read in it's entirty what she said

[1Old Pro]

Keep up the pressure on Murraymomtennis shoee idiot. She;s beatable, I hope she's up in 04

[Drawsing]

Where is any evidence that Bin Laden has built roads, hospitals, fed anybody or done anything like this?? As far as I have seen he has never even pretended to do this. That is what makes the senator's comments so bizarre and treasonous. It appears she simply had an anti-american agenda and proceeded to manufacture a little alternate Bin Laden universe to bolster her argument. And in the great tradition of Jocelyn Elders, Maxine Waters, et. al...she probably believes her own lies.

[bray]

Worse yet was the response from Sen Shooting Blanks Lugar! When given a chance to hammer her he makes excuses for her outrageous statement. Brit set him up with a nice fastball over the middle of the plate and he acts like a little leaguer watching the third strike afraid to take his bat off his shoulder. This idiot should never be allowed in front of a camara again. If he had made this statement the Rats would have him looking for work today!

Pray for GW and the Truth

[lonestar]

Would you explain where OBL is popular outside the Muslim world?

He is most popular where the idiots think they have 75 virgins waiting for them if they blow themselves up and kill "infidels.".

I think Patty Murray owes an explanation to the women of the world because she, with her freedom of speech, has totally ignored that she would have a rag over her face (not a bad idea) where OBL is so popular!

[Search4Truth]

Welcome to Free Republic. :)

[Nachum]

Would you explain where OBL is popular outside the Muslim world?

He is popular amoung a number of peoples who hate America. In places like Mexico, the Azlan crazies here in California, and a huge number of leftists world wide.

[MaggieMay]

Your sound just like a "third way" type, we could have peace, if only there were a redistribution of wealth in the world. You and Jimmy Carter and the dingbat senator all belong togeather.

[Marysecretary]

thanks, John. These liberals--just a bunch of anti-American thugs. If they like bin Laden so much, they should just go over to wherever he is and see how much he likes them! Off with your heads, sez he! Off with their heads, sez ME!
