>>When three Americans were killed, presumably by Palestinians, in an explosion on Oct. 15, 2003, as they traveled through Gaza, the FBI came within 24 hours to investigate the deaths. After one year, neither the FBI nor any other U.S.-led team has done anything to investigate the death of an American killed by an Israeli.<<

Ms. Corrie, in typical left wing fashion, fails to mention that the three dead Americans were employees of an American company on contract to provide security to the US Embassy. At the time they were escorting an administrative team that had come into the Gaza Strip to interview Palestinian applicants for an American college scholarship program (the Fulbright, IIRC). There were US foreign service personnel injured in the explosion, a command detonated bomb buried at an intersection in populated area. Of course, even though burying the sizable explosive charge and setting up the command link took some time, nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything, nobody knows anything. (One of the reasons the FBI is involved is because there are suspicions that the Palestinian "police" may have been the one's who planted the bomb.)

You know, I have sympathy for the genuinely innocent people among the Palestinians (and there are many who are stuck in a situation they were born into, poisoned daily with vile hate propaganda that they cannot escape and "led" by evil, corrupt men that they cannot influence.) But when you actively tolerate, celebrate, and collude in the commission of evil acts, you lose my sympathy.

From the reports I have read, Rachael Corrie and most, if not all, of the foreign "peace" activists in the West Bank and Gaza are nothing more than leftist militants who have come for the purpose for furthering their anti-capitalist, anti-US, anti-Israeli political careers.

As we approach March 16, residents and citizens of the United States should ask themselves how it is that an unarmed U.S. citizen can be killed with impunity by a soldier from an allied nation receiving massive U.S. aid, using a product manufactured in the United States by a U.S. corporation and paid for with U.S. tax dollars...

She was killed because she was careless around a bulldozer. Happens all the time. Whether or not she was armed would matter not to the bulldozer.

As far as it being a US bulldozer, we should all be happy that a US made product is so effective at pushing around piles of debris.

Look at the back of 'dozer blade, at about the same hight of what's her names head.

Right were the shiny shaft of the piston connects with the back of the blade. There is a nut.

Notice the shadow below the nut. Perfectly straight down. Notice the "shadows" of the two lefty turnips.

The stunning lack of moral clarity from the left is evident in being more interested in houses and walls than murder and genocide.

The late Rachel Corrie teaching young children how to burn American flags.


Rachel Corrie's parents in the keep of the serial murderer of Americans, children, and user of their terrorist-loving daughter.

Her stupid parents, who defacto run the "Coalition for Peace and Justice" in Charlotte, are feuding with United for Peace and Justice in North Carolina. On Mar 20, they have organized a march in Charlotte which will drastically reduce the attendance of the commies at the United for Peace and Justice March in Fayetteville.

Cat fight! Cat fight! (Actually, her parents are dangerous, angry white leftists.)

The terminology these people use doesn't come close to jibing with the facts.

The photos (which are on the Internet for all to examine) clearly show that she was whapped in the head with piece or rebar, which no doubt snapped off of the pile of it that is clearly shown in a couple photos.

She wasn't "killed" by anyone. She wasn't "run over" (the photos indicate that as well). She was stupidly mugging in front of a piece of heavy equipment, ignorant to the fact the she was standing next to a pile of rebar, the sum total of which is dangerous.

I was working construction one college summer and a guy was whapped in the head by a tree being dragged by a bulldozer. He died a couple days later, and that reminded us to careful around bulldozers. The operator felt pretty bad, but everyone made it clear that he wasn't to blame.

A year of silence

More like, a year of whining, seething, and ranting.

Rachel Corrie, Johnny Taliban, its all the same to me. These are scum bags who get their kicks by going to a foreign place full of hateful animals, then looking like a hero to those animals by being the white person who is bashing America. How about some real courage, and come spew that filth at the 9/11 ground zero site.

I already sent a thank you note to Caterpiller. Is there anything else I should do?

These two pictures show even more clearly how the first photo, of her standing in front of the house, is a forgery. Look at the size of the figures in the first photo. Corrie comes about halfway up the blade. Then look at the other, and Corrie is taller than the blade.

Frankly, I don't think Catapillar makes a conventional dozer as big as the one indicated in the first photo.

There's danger out on the nations' roads
They're paved with snakes and flattened toads,
And soldiers drive in bulldozers so big
They can flatten a cow, or a horse, or a manatee
And those who survive are a lucky few,
But there's one brave activist who made it through
And I'm here to tell the tale to you of Sailcorrie

Sailcorrie? Sailcorrie!

She was protesting with rage in her face,
When strange radiation from outer space
Turned her into a super invincible activist
When a bulldozer ran her down with a hideous splat!
Ah, she couldn't be killed, but she still could be squished
And she lay in the passing lane shakin' her fist
Then some kids helped her fly with a flick of the wrist
And that was the birth of Sailcorrie

Sailcorrie! Sailcorrie!

She rolled after that bulldozer like a buzz saw unleashed,
And she sliced it in two like a knife through a peach
One bulldozer half took the high road, the other the low
And the message went out on CB radio.
Breaker, breaker, lookout, watch your back
Be afraid there's a Frisbee-like activist who's a mighty sharp blade.
So the feared and revered reputation was made of Sailcorrie

Sailcorrie! Sailcorrie!

She's been known to cut redwoods and stop a whole fleet,
When a fam'ly of tapeworms was crossin' the street
And when Mom's having trouble with Thanksgiving plans
She has even dropped by to help open some cans
Or when someone's depressed or has had a bad day,
She unerringly knows just the right things to say

Don't be depressed. People love you because you're a stupid America-hating activist. Go with it!
Then she'll ask for a toss, and be on her way
She's Sailcorrie! Sailcorrie!
