What I still can't get over is her face, contorted and twisted with hatred as she shows children how to burn our flag. And she was supposed to be a protestor for peace???
To: Diogenesis
Did Rachel get 72 male virgins upon her martyrdom?

Rachel Corrie's parents need to be publically flogged.
The girl never had a chance; the guy driving that bulldozer was doing her a favor.

Good point!
Too bad it wasnt my companys bulldozer. We could use some free publicity.
Plus, we offer a low ground pressure model that is more "protester friendly".

Another reason to always maintain eye contact with the driver.

Activists will protest the use of Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes, at the company's annual stockholders meeting April 14 in Chicago. An "International Day of Action Against Caterpillar" demonstration will be staged April 23 at corporate headquarters in Peoria. Hm. If I were anywhere near Chicago or Peoria, I'd be so very tempted to have a couple of giant enlargements made of the flag-burning photos, show up to the protests and just stand there with them. I wonder how many of these ersatz hippies have seen them?

"Another reason to always maintain eye contact with the driver."
I even tell my daughter that in the grocery store parking lot. And use the same principle when backing up in the driveway.
Maybe she didn't want to seem to be flirting with the Israeli equipment operator . . .

What, it's Caterpillar's fault? At least it wasn't Bush's fault.

"I read that the driver had his front end loader up and full of debris. He couldn't see her, and she didn't know he was about to drop his load, and she was killed by the falling debris. It was an ACCIDENT which makes the entire attempt to screw the Israelis even more pathetic and sinister"
It is clear from this article; that the Lib media rewrite of this event - stands! No clarification/retraction necessary.

I guess these idiots are really just communists. They've just found another emotional reason to attack an American company.

I agree with you completely.....but, I think this point needs to be established:
It's doubtful that Rachel Corrie was actually run over by a bulldozer. Check the pics - there's no way that her body was damaged enough....if she was literally 'run over' by a 9-ton-dozer, there'd be nothing left of her body but a smear.
More likely, she was hit by the blade, or some flying debris. There's a reason why people at construction sites wear helmets! However, the image of this 'poor girl' being 'ground under the treads of the Army of Isreal' makes better copy and pulls all of the right emotions. Sounds much better than 'idiot stands next to bulldozer, gets hit and killed by chunk of rebar'.

"The late Rachel Corrie teaching young children how to burn American flags." Such a precious daughter ...
Didja notice that the Palestinian children surrounding darling Rachel are not very excited? They look more curious than anything. Seems that Rachel had to try hard to find an audience that would surround her.

Parents of a young woman who was killed by an Israeli soldier driving a Caterpillar bulldozer spoke Sunday at a rally to build support for two protests against Caterpillar this month in Chicago and Peoria. At this rate the left will start blaming guns for criminals getting shot by police.
Oops, that's right, they already do.
