One of Germany's largest paper writes about New Orleans
taz ^ | 09/02/2005 | Susanne Lang

Posted on 09/02/2005 6:41:32 AM PDT by americanbychoice2

Selbst Freude und Mitleid schlagen zur selben Zeit in meiner Brust. So freue ich mich beispielsweise momentan darüber, dass die jüngste Sturmkatastrophe nicht wieder irgendein armes Land, sondern die reichste Nation der Erde getroffen hat. Ja, ich sehe darin sogar eine Art ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit für das, was die Bewohner dieses Landes durch ihren Krieg im Irak anderen Bewohnern angetan haben. Es würde mich allerdings noch mehr erfreuen, wenn ich wüsste, dass nur Häuser von Bush-Wählern und Armeeangehörigen zerstört worden wären. Alle anderen tun mir aufrichtig Leid. Dringender Notruf? kolumne@taz.de Montag: Susanne Lang über DIE ANDEREN

http://www.taz.de/pt/2005/09/02/a0109.nf/text

The translation (roughly) reads "Right now, happiness and sympathy are emotions that beat equally in my heart. I am happy that the latest hurricane disaster has not hit some poor country but the richest nation in the world.

Yes I can even see fair justice in what has happened to that country's citizens because of what they have done to other countries' citizens by means of the war in Iraq. However, I would be even happier if I could be sure that only houses of Bush-voters and military families had been hit. I feel sincere regrets for all the others" Monday: Susanne Lang about the “Others”

Just when I thought the hatred of many Germans couldn't get any worse, they show us over and over again that "Hate has no boundaries."

The sad thing is there are people in *America* who feel this way.

If happiness beats in her heart, I don't want the sympathy its mixed with. She and her socialist paradise can drop dead.

The author needs to be completely ignored because she is crackers.

Another Saddam-lover. How curious and how sad.

Was this an editorial position or a letter to the editor?

If the paper takes this stand publicly they're vermin. If it's just one man's opinion, well, he's vermin.

I don't believe all Germans feel that way. Leaders get to dictate the impression the world has of their entire nation's attitudes. Iran is a good example. 75% of Iran is under 30 years old, most of whom love America.

German translation: schadenfreude.

The lefties over there are angry because Schroeder and the anti-Americans in charge are polling very badly and are going to LOSE the next election. The party who is going to win already has a good relationship with the Bush administration (including the personal invites when they have visited the country - Freepers remember these post?)and will be a bit more pro-America, as much as Europeans ever are, that is.

They are mad because they are going to LOSE. Let them spew their venom and show what they're really all about.

They are truly a hate-filled people to put up with this kind of vile, cruel language in their media. It is not shocking that a philosophy such as Nazism could have been bred among people who have such a competitive, vengeful attitude to other humans.

This writer embodies man's inhumanity to man and heartlessness.

If this was NOT the way the german pig-dogs felt about America, they would be our allies against satan's evil islamic empire. Instead they are no different in mind set as they were in the thirties and forties. Germany is a cess pool and unable to change!!!

If the last election in the US proved in 2004, is that as the left keep taking beatings due to their own behavior and failings, they more desprately they lash out with venom and hate.

They can never accept that they might be wrong about anything. Probably the biggest short-coming of a socialist/liberal is that they let themselves become so brainwashed in their self-rightousness, they are completely incapable of standing back and realizing when they are damaging themselves with their actions. Instead, they just lash out and blame everyone else.

The german woman is just an example of this. What she should be worried about is the economic mess their country is in due to their own socialist policies.
