"Ann is going over a line here and she has done so recently. I suggest it is her terrible grief over the Olsen murder." Maybe she just doesn't think well when she's mad? Does she often sound mad when she writes a column? What other topics seem to get her riled up? I ask because, if she can't think when she's mad, it would be important to know what topics make her mad so we can discount completely what she says about them.

I never said if ann wrote in anger about a subject that she should be discounted. Anger joined with an argument or a position on something like this does not call for discounting. In this case, on this topic, she has gone to a place I have not seen her go to and that is the place where she loses those who usually agree with her. In this case her anger has made her say things that are offensive in ways,,that is not to say heer anger doesn't often result in a well thought out utterly true position. Can't be black or white here with her,,it is not a case of agreeing or disagreeing with her contingent on her state of rage or whatever. It is not for or against her,,sometimes, most times I agree with her. Here in some respects I don't.

There may have been Moslem middle-easterners involved in Oklahoma.
