Rachel Corrie's Parents Sue Caterpillar

KIRO-TV (Seattle) ^ | 3/15/05

The federal lawsuit, which lawyers said would be filed here Tuesday, alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to Israeli Defense Forces that it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.

In other news, Rawlings is suing Louisville Slugger for making a bat that will intentionally be used to hit and harm their baseballs.......

This is the kind of lawsuit that should not only be summarily dismissed, but the Court should impose a substantial penalty on the plaintiffs and their lawyer.

The first person in Georgia to be a victim under the state's hate crime laws - a newspaper reporter - is a big fan of Rachel Corrie. I picked that tid-bit up a couple of weeks ago and am glad for the opportunity to share the knowledge.

I think Israel and Caterpillar corporation should sue Rachel's parents because their daughter might have left a parasitic blood stain on an excellent machine along with supporting international terrorism!

[Horatio Gates]

This lawsuit will surly fall flat.

UN-BE-LIEVABLE!

[ConservativeMind]

So what US law was broken? Since it was made in the US, the suit must be tried according to our laws, shouldn't it? Otherwise, there would have to be a law against the sale of such a specialized device in Israel.

[Anti-Bubba182]

This is some bizarre crap.

Someone should start a "Caterpillar Defense Fund" I would give money just to express my contempt for the Corrie's and their vile progeny.

Actually this is not new. If you google "rachel corrie caterpillar" you get a ton of hits. The left has gone after Caterpillar and used her family as a front. It seems they want to make life difficult for any company that sells stuff to Israel.

[John Valentine]

Utterly contemptible left-wing snot-wipes.

[ApplegateRanch]

"The brutal death of my daughter should never have happened," Corrie's mother, Cindy Corrie, said in a statement

Only correct statement they've made. She should have stayed home, instead of mixing into anti-American.anti Israel, foreign terrorist demonstrations and violent protests.

I hope their suit suit falls flatter than she ended up.

Can someone explain to me why we are not bombing the West Coast?

...it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.

Just like jocelyn elders wanted safer guns and bullets, these vermin want safer bulldozers. (What does that entail, a foam rubber blade??? Covering the bulldozer in bubble-wrap???)

[BigBobber]

Oh great. Now Kubota is going to corner the market on house-destroying bulldozers!

[Polybius]

You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught.

Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein (South Pacific)
