Whaaaaaaaaaa.

[Sam Gamgee]

The worst mistake conservatives can make is apologizing for being conservative. Never apologize. It doesn't win you respect or votes. And it demonstrates a doubt about one's beliefs.

Basically this was the US stance in the cold war. Nuke us and we nuke you. So what's the difference?

[John Filson]

Thanks for the history lesson, Dane!

[Riptides]

Sorry....the war on terrorism IS a war against Islam.

[veronica]

This is the only sane thing Tancredo has said, as far as I know.

[sgtbono2002]

Didnt the Islamics take over one of the holiest Catholic churches in Jerusalem not long ago? Held hostages there to , I think they even killed a few people. I didnt hear the Turk raising hell then.

Uh tancredo in his "infinite wisdom" decided to put gasoline on the fire, by mentioning mecca, thus giving the islamofascists a propaganda point to exploit.

[montag813]

He said Americans "respect the dignity and sanctity of other religions."

Yeah, too bad that Muslims don't respect ANY other religions, and will arrest or murder anyone daring to even practice another religion within their domain.

[cripplecreek]

It's kinda funny. Hugh Hewitt called Tancredo supporters a tiny minority but retreated and admitted that he was wrong by the time his show ended.

Today John Gibson says "hmm seems that Mr Tancredo has some supporters out there.

[StonyBurk]

When the slaves to Allah cease to dialogue in the language of violence ,Murder, and innocent blood shed
all in the name of Allah (Jihad the sixth pillar of Islam)
Then-and only then ought we suggest we could talk to the
followers of Islam( (submission is NOt peace when submiission is forced)in any othe rmanner than the way they
dictate dialogue will take place. IF they were a legitimate religiopn of peace They would have ended the bloodshed in
Iraq and in Afghanistan,and in Israel(Gaza and West Bank are Israel forfeighted by the losers who have without cause
attacked Israel (how many times since 1947?) That the Muslim have fed and not ended to murder that they have called it by another name (they are not Martyrs but Murderers) Suggests Mr.Tancredo is spot right on target.
And has NO reason to appologize.

[Prime Choice]

Do you belive in collective crime and collective punisment ?

Tell me what you'd think of Christians overall if the KKK had killed 3,000 people on 9/11 and Christians across the world cheered it openly and nobody of consequence in the Christian world condemned it.

Think about it.

[OB1kNOb]

If America suffers a suitcase nuke attack or some other unimaginable level of horrific massive casualty event and does not respond in an equally unimaginable and horrific way (such as Tancredo suggests) then this country will not long after crumble in like fashion as the WTC in 2001. Utterly and completely. No longer to ever be a shining light on the hill or beacon of freedom and democracy.

It will become as the other world powers of history...either a shell of it's former self, or obliterated and reformed into something altogether different than what it once stood for - freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One cannot win a war of a thousand cuts without the willingness to inflict the greater damage and casualties on the enemy. Does our government who has sworn to protect us have the fortitude it takes to defeat the enemy when such a time of testing comes? I pray that they do. For my children's sake, I pray that they do.

Actually tancredo said we should court moderate islamics.

Yeah real smart there, court them by saying you are going to blow up mecca.

The guy is the Braney Fife of foreign policy.

I agree, but you don't give your enemies the public hammer to beat you with and to use as propaganda exploitation as tancredo did.

[agincourt1415]

Top U.S. State Department Clinton Appointees, that are left wing winnies, agree Tancredo, is much to aggressive.

Still if we have one of our Cities Nuked, it will be the end of Mecca and Medina.

[Cultural Jihad]

Well that seems to be tancredo's forte, giving the islamofascists propaganda points.

And the only ones who are applauding Mullah Tancredo are Al Qaeda and their water-carriers among the Satanic Right.

[Cultural Jihad]

. . .if the KKK had killed 3,000 people on 9/11 . . .

Nuke Alabama! (burp)

[bozot]

...Think about it....

You can not say for sure that all muslims cheered 9-11.

If you do that is paranoia.
If the all muslims cheerered, then perhaps all the Russians, Chineese, and maybe Europe and south America too...

For the same reason (?)

[skeeter]

I'm posting your comment once more just in case some missed it.

"Gul, speaking prior to Tancredo's response Tuesday, said that he did not think the people or the government of the United States shared Tancredo's view, according to Anatolia."

The government may not share this view but I bet a large percentage of the people do. If we are ever attacked with nuclear weapons by these Islamic bastards we should completely destroy Mecca and Medina at the very least. Tancredo has the right idea and we need more politicians like him in power.
