The mythology presented Corrie as “a peaceful protester,” “a young woman who had dedicated her life to the non-violent defense of others” and as “a new Joan of Arc.” One Gazaflotilla ship was named after her. She was not just an unarmed, idealistic Western girl.

And Sandra Fluke was not just a Georgetown co-ed .... the Leftist mythologists are still at work.

I feel no excitement over the anniversary of her death. It just leaves me flat.

I still crack up when I remember they held her “memorial breakfast” at an Ihop.

Someone said he was going to show up, order some raspberry pancakes and put a Tonka bulldozer on the stack.

There's a picture of her wearing a Hijab, burning an American flag in front of small children. For that alone - teaching children to hate - she should burn in Hell.

I live in Seattle, I should find out if her parents buried her somewhere down near Olympia where they are from so I can go piss on her grave.

Rachel Corrie died in a Palestinian hospital. If he had been taked to an Israeli hospital she might still be alive. She was not “run over” by a bulldozer, she hit her head against the blade when she fell into its path. Her wounds might not have proven fatal, even in the absence of medical attention. Given a little push from Palestinian “doctors”, she never had a chance. She was worth much more to the Palestinians dead than alive.

She should be the face for the Darwin Awards. Who in their right mind lays down in front of a bulldozer?

Hamas adopted her face as a mascot and Iran named a street after her.

When Israel flattens Iran, they'll know where to start. Operation IHOP.

[2003] As they gathered downtown earlier this week to protest the war in Iraq, a motley group of students and activists busily readied the tricks of their trade.

A couple of men gingerly laid on the sidewalk two cardboard “caskets” topped with plastic flowers and the bloodied heads and body parts of baby dolls.

A man wearing a white Cheshire cat mask hung a severed fake head of Vice President Dick Cheney, with a “666” scribbled on its forehead and plastic sword speared into the top.

A young woman expertly dabbed white and black makeup on a young man’s face to evoke an image of a ghoulish skeleton.

But the leader of the pack simply donned his professor’s gown.

“This is a mock funeral for the innocent victims of the war against Iraq, and this was the closest thing I had to a minister’s gown,” University of Houston professor Bob Buzzanco quipped about the black robe with royal blue felt stripes that UH had given him to wear at graduation ceremonies.

The attire seemed fitting. As student activism continues to wane at many of America’s campuses, professors such as Buzzanco increasingly find themselves playing dual roles of teachers and political organizers.

“If you turn back the clock 30 years, you find that the students were doing the organizing, but now they tend to not be so interested in that,” said Roger Kimball, author of Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education and editor of New Criterion magazine..........................
