The irony is Campos would be executed by the bin Laden’s of the world on ‘general principal’ alone.

What a sick, twisted miond this guy Campos has!

It would almost make me pity him.
Almost...

Scary Brown People Who Hate Our Freedoms

This is a particularly stupid comment when you look at the majority of people worldwide killed based on exactly the same Islamist beliefs professed by the 9/11 murderers. In Africa, the Arabs are killing Black Christians and Muslims of a less radical belief. In the Middle East, Arabs are killing Arabs primarily on the basis of religion or Muslim sect. In Southeast Asia, the Christians and Buddhists being killed are the same race as the killers. In India, the Muslims are killing Hindus who are often "darker".

It is the religion, not the race!!

One person I know constantly rails about the sexual failings of President Bush. Honestly, this is he final argument stance in every discussion I’ve had with him!

What a weirdo!

[Vanbasten]

“When Stu Bykofsky, a columnist for The Philadelphia Daily News, wrote a column last week in which he openly hoped that America suffers “another 9/11,” he merely had the poor judgment to say what many a right-wing politician and pundit is thinking.”

Kind of like the way you liberals think that our troops need to suffer defeat, so that your democrats can be elected huh?

[MrB]

Leftists see discrimination in EVERY issue, and if they can blame the WASPS, so much the better.

[Pentagon Leatherneck]

Just because of him, I think I’ll walk down the hall and contribute a few more bucks to the 9/11 Memorial fund in honor of friends who cannot (because they were killed right where I sit).

Look at his name. Explains a lot, too.

The fact is that if you, like me, are one of the 99.9 percent of Americans who doesn't know anyone who was killed or injured in the 9/11 terror attacks, or in the subsequent rescue efforts, then 9/11 was at bottom a very disturbing thing that you saw (over and over again) on TV.

I think there's a few million New Yorkers who would beg to differ. Not to mention this kind of statement only makes sense if you have no concept of why it's called TERRORism.

[Clemenza]

Politicians who milk "9/11" for all its worth deserve nothing but scorn.

Move on and deal with the present, so that other such attacks don't happen again. Let the dead bury the dead.

"One trait I’ve found common among liberals is a tendency to speculate at what others think and feel and project it as fact."

Well, I confess to doing the same regarding liberals, but I try to tie my speculation to actual statements that they make. For example, when they say - without offering any evidence - that we are in Iraq to steal their oil or enrich Halliburton, I conclude that they can't actually imagine anyone operating from any motive other than naked economic self-interest. Thus I conclude that they have no sense of idealism, do not particularly value political freedom, and are themselves primarily motivated by economic self-interest.

And as a matter of fact, in recent months I have heard several Dems - in unguarded moments - use "What's in it for me?" as their yardstick when evaluating any policy.
