Murray defends remark about bin Laden

The Oregonian ^ | 12-24-02 | MATTHEW DALY

[No Left Turn]

What this moron doesn't know is that the roads built by Osama were used to support terrorist training camps, not to better the lives of the people who were invaded by his gang.

Lefties like Patty can't help but to show their true colors. She's not about progess and freedom, she's about full state contol over the person, whether the state be secular or theocratic. This is why she admires the Osama bin Ladens of the world, and sees them occupying higher moral ground than the US.

"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide is not," she said.

Let us give the intellectually-challenged Senator Murray the benefit of the doubt -- that she really intended "a challenging and thoughtful discussion".

Does she not, then, owe us some proof that Osama bin Laden has actually done some good works? I'm simply unaware of any. Perhaps, the Senator could elucidate.

And does she not, at the same time, owe an apology to the American taxpayers who fund the foreign aid that she and the Senate vote on every year. As well as apologies to the foreign aid workers in the Peace Corps and AID, plus the employees of all the American firms who actually build roads, schools and day-care centers in third world countries.

Keep going, Patty-cakes. Give us another "explanation". You're digging your hole ever deeper...

Nah, she's too stupid to be a communist. She wouldn't even understand the difference between capitalism and communism. I mean this woman is STUPID!

[Political Junkie Too]

Don't let the Democrats use the excuse that Murray isn't in leadership, so her comments are okay.

I'm sick of hearing the excuse that Lott was "Majority Leader" and therefore deserved to be held to a higher standard. Out of 280 million people in the USA, we send 100 to the Senate. ALL 100 should be held to the same standard, whether Majority Leader or most Junior Senator.

They are all in Leadership of the USA. If we start compartmentalizing the Senate itself, we will eventually define outrageous behaviour down to the minute and second, and then excuse everything.

A note to the idiot, Murray.

I got yer hate right here.

[lavaroise]

Ossama paid for schools that practiced Islamofascist religious/ethnic cleansing. Is that what Patty Murray want our government schools to do????

[Wondervixen]

>> "How else can we bring America's values to those who do not understand us?"

Values like ABORTION ON DEMAND and WELFARE TO THE WORLD FROM OUR TAX DOLLARS, eh, Patty?

[Wondervixen]

>>Murray's spokesman, Todd Webster, called the senator a victim of a right-wing media machine.

She's a victim of her own ignorant leftist MOUTH!

[Wondervixen]

Joe, this morning on Fox & Friends, E.D. Hill hit the nail square on the head on the subject of pacifists (including Hollyweirdo's) threatening to go to Baghdad and act as human shields around targets of our Military.

E.D. simply said that when the word to move comes, if you're in our way, you ARE THE ENEMY and she's sorry, but you get what Saddam gets!

Frankly, if an Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Janeane Garafalo, Mike Farrell, Jenifer Anniston, or anyone else of their ilk gets vaporized to the hereafter thinking they'll stop our boys from their duty, I'll chear as loudly as if we'd gotten Hussein or Bin Laden!

They'll NOT go down in history as heroic martyrs, but foolish traitors!

[JoeSixPack1]

I'm looking for my Patric Henry quote!!...BRB

[JoeSixPack1]

"Pacifists are among the most immoral of men. They make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is
one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have!" by Patrick Henry"

[Wondervixen]

Commiewatcher, the NOW gang is like every other liberal group. When they're silent, it is because they are 100% in agreement with the side it comes from or they know that source is to big & bad to fight & they'll get their fat asses handed to them on a platter for trying...They'd rather fight their own countrymen, where they have the freedom to say dumbass things & idiot liberal judges will protect them.

[OKSooner]

Ping for later reference.

[johnny7]

Alec Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Janeane Garafalo, Mike Farrell, Jenifer Anniston

... will not be there. Only the real peace-queers will show up.

These a-holes don't give a crap about Iraq... they just hate Bush!

[JoeSixPack1]

Anyone who says that it is not necessary to know why we are hated across the globe and not work to change this is contributing to the goals of our enemies.

#1. You require new meds. You have lost your mind.
#2. You assume we are hated. You assume wrong. We are envied.
#3. You assume we care what OBL has done good or bad. We don't care. He killed 3,000 innocents on our home turf and gigles. He's roadkill now!
#4 You are defending the rantings of an ELECTED US SENATOR praising this murderer and advancing his teachings as if they are the new way. That is treasonous, which she herself has accepted and denied by repeating your reference of jolly old Osamma playing the godfather and buying candy and popcorn for the babies! He did neither. He built an army. Armies need an infrastructure.

LASTLY - Your response, if any, is a waste of my time.

[Wondervixen]

Bin Laden builds nothing more than can aid his terrorist network. If he is a hero to those people, he is so out of fear for what he might do to them if they rise against him.

Why else would nations pay "protection money and favors" to the bastard in return for taking them off his terror itinerary?

He may build over there but he runs demolition over here...PREFERABLY WITH AMERICANS STILL IN THE BUILDINGS!

[jwalsh07]

Her apology is too little and too late. Have her report Sunday to Fox News for an interview conducted by the survivors of the WTC and Pentagon attacks.

[Wondervixen]

Rabid, I'm not going to attack you personally for what you're saying because I think I understand how you're saying it, but war is war, not a popularity contest. I don't believe for a minute in trying to be better liked than Bin Laden in order to win public favor over him. I believe in the death penalty for cold blooded murderers who are sworn to keep doing it until the breath of life leaves his and his followers bodies (preferably THEIRS before HIS).

The answer isn't for the Statue of Liberty to win Miss Congeniality in the eyes of the Muslim world...It's for her to still be standing before the bastards can fly a plane into HER!
