I was actually just reading a DU thread on this topic. They complain that we won’t be outraged at this (just as we were not outraged at Rachel Corrie).
Honestly, is that not something to be proud of? We are often accused of being excessivley nationalistic, when, in reality, we just support those that are on the right side of the fight. We are accused of being xenophobic and racist ... except our reaction to Rachel Corrie (a white girl) is identical to our reaction to this guy (a Turkish man).
Would it not be hypocritical to support Israel when they take out non-American bad guys ... and then to get outraged when one of the dead happens to be a US Citizen? Is it not hypocritical of liberals to play the “American citizen” card at every opportunity, but to ignore the deaths of American citizens at the hands of Islamic terrorists at Ft. Hood, the WTC, The Pentagon, and in Iraq and Afghanistan?

He was over 18, an adult. He knew where he was going. He knew the danger. If they shot him, he must have been one of the attackers!
If these people were attacking us here in Texas, we would shoot them dead! And in Texas we have the Castle Law and we can shoot to kill. I think that may be why a lot of liberal democrats don’t come here to speak and campaign. But we will not shoot them! But they fear us. And as I said, we won’t shoot them!
