Had a face-to-face discussion a week or so ago regarding the Bin Laden tape. WHen the topic of his threat to the "red states" came up and how he says that he plans on bombing those states that vote for Bush (forgetting for a moment that this means he will leave NYC and DC alone, yeah right!), I actually got this response:

"You know, he should. I hope he does!"

At this point, I shook my head, picked up my things and started to walk away. The other person wanted to take this as a victory for herself, but couldn't leave the moment as it was and had to add, "Aha, you have no answer for that. You know I'm right." etc.

I stopped, turned, and quietly replied, "You have just condemned 150 million people to death. You said you hoped that they died and you agreed that they should die. And I'm supposed to have a rational debate about this?"

She remained speechless until I reached the doorway. Frankly, I don't care what the others in the room said after I left.
