I was shocked by the news and the story behind Rachel Corrie's death.

Were you also shocked by the news and the story behind Abigail Litle's death? Or are the victims of the Palestinians not of any concern to you?

Litle was killed along with 15 Israelis when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus last week. (AP Photo/Herzl Shapira)

Re the: " holier than thou piousness! It's best to chill out!

I don't think it is. The nitwit was aiding and abebting the homicide bombers and their cause. She will be promoted as a hero, martyred for her support of what is refered to as peace, but is really only the surrender of any justice whatsoever to the vicious clowns pretending to be victims. They are not victims of anything, except their own vicious and murderous hatred twords a people that simply exist.

She is not like the protestor(s) at Tieneman(sp) Square that was rolled over by a tank. They were acting in defiance of a murderous commie regime. She is an example of the nihlistic anarchist riff-raff that constantly strive to corrupt the minds of the World's youth in order to promote the ends of totalitarian powers. It would be another thing altogether if she were simply an idiot that jumped in front of a bulldozer. It is simply shameful to make fun , or to find joy in any harm that comes to the mentally deficient. She wasn't, she was rational agent for the cause of the homicide culture of the anti-Semites.

anytime an American is killed by a foreign nation it is cause for rebuke!

Once, that was the case. In the Middle East, American activists used to just have to yell "I'm an American!" and even armed troops melted before them. No one dared touch them. Not any more.

LadyinRed, is it the press who are having a field day over this case - or is it FR? There have been innumerable threads on this one person's death, full of posts making jokes, insults and exulting over the happy event. Everyone wants to get a word in. In these circumstances, I would say it is Freepers who are having a field day.

Thanks. I always like to get these things right. This may not have been the Hamas leaders house, but it was certainly a den of one of the homicide crew.

OK. Do I have to explain (again)? I was talking to those who posture their moral superiority here and appear to take pleasure in condemning the rest of us to eternal damnation for making a few more or less tasteless remarks!

I like the one on the LA Times front page today. Showed her right before the 'dozer improved the gene pool. According to the story, she slipped on a pile of debris in front of the dozer, and then got turned into tread lubricant...

I am disgusted by 95% of the comments in various threads on this incident.

Only 95%? We must be slipping.

The Evergreen State College Primer

See the IDF.
See the Bulldozer
See the IDF drive the Bulldozer.
The IDF drives the Bulldozer good.

See Corrie
See Corrie protest the Bulldozer.
Corrie protests the Bulldozer good.

See the Bulldozer run over Corrie.

See the spot? The spot used to be Corrie.

> Why?

It was a human life that was lost, however misguided it was.

How many conservos took shots - and I mean literally - at Norma McCorvey for her role as Jane Roe. If one of those shots had hit, we never would have seen her later convert to Christianity and become an advocate for natal life.

I'm fierce in my political convictions, but I draw the line when it approaches the sovereignty of God, as the loss of human life does.

Corrie, 23, a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash

When my husband and I first heard that she was from Olympia, our first reaction was; "oh, probably an Evergreen student". Sure enough, she was. This particular college is beyond left-wing. A couple of years ago, they played an audio tape by Mumia for their college commencement ceremonies. There were a few kids who walked out, but the majority stayed.

Protecting a water well - Rachel is on the far right

 

RIP and don't jump in front of bulldozers next time around. And don't enable terrorists who kill Jews. They are using your death just as they used your life.

Interesting how those mock funerals seem to grow full blown
into the minds of all those folks at the same time.

Here is what happens when you mock.

Henry V.

tell the pleasant prince this mock of his
Hath turn'd his balls to gun-stones; and his soul
Shall stand sore-charged for the wasteful ven-
geance
That shall fly with them: for many a thousand
widows
Shall this his mock mock out of their dear hus-
bands;
Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles
down;
And some are yet ungotten and unborn
That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin's
scorn.
But this lies all within the will of God,
To whom I do appeal; and in whose name
Tell you the Dauphin I am coming on,
To venge me as I may and to put forth
My rightful hand in a well-hallow'd cause.
So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin
His jest will savour but of shallow wit
When thousands weep more than did laugh at
it.
