Sensational, extreme exaggeration, far from solving the problem, only serves to convince people that the entire story is fiction, and that NO elements of it are true.

Wrong.

While everyone here agrees that the "every day" thing was an exageration, we don't know that this was the exact transcript of what was said. Further more, if I was finding such things in my yard after 9/11? You bet I'd wanna tell the world about it, I can forgive her if she did indeed use the word "everything"

I am struck though by an overstatement.........by you. The extreme position that you take by bouncing to the opposite side and claiming that no Al Qaeda are therefore attempting to enter the US through our borders. If anything is irresponsible, it is that position. I question the integrity and motives of any poster who puts for such a baseless assertion for apparently no other reason than for you to accept even a shred of her story as true is to too disturbing for your crowd to process.

If she was such a liar, why did she have all these prayer rugs and Korans again?

If she is a total liar as you are strong arming us to accept, what negative consequence of all the people who read this thread do you fear will transpire?

And where do I say ANYTHING like that???

I said that exaggeration tends to lessen peoples' acceptance of there being a problem, rather than convince them of the need to solve the very real problem.

You sound rather hysterical.

I don't 'believe' there is a problem. I KNOW there is a problem.

I KNOW objects have been found.

My only point is that the people who are uninformed will be less likely to be convinced by hyperbole, to be polite, than by provable, reasoned, DISPASSIONATE, indisputable facts.

I should demand an apology; you have put words in my mouth even worse than Chris Matthews did to Michelle Malkin. Instead, I'll chalk it up to poor reading skills.

Good day!
