This is actually a good thing because CNN just keeps digging themseles in deeper and deeper. America is waking up, and CNN will continue to slide into ratings oblivion.

Thanks for the report. We used to get Prager on WABC - New York, but he's been gone several years.

Any audio links? (Do audio links still exist?)

Listen to this story! I went to work this morning sporting a "Wanted Dead or Alive" T-shirt with Osama Bin Laden's picture on it. Almost everyone wanted to know where I got it and how they can purchase it. I should also prefix this story with telling you I work for a large corporation in a High-Rise near LA International Airport. I needed to get some papers signed and the manager, a woman who is noted for her liberal biases, just went balistic when she saw my t-shirt. She told me to go change. I responded with this is a first ammendment issue and that I can wear any t-shirt I want. I also explained to her that I had lost two friends in the attack to which she responded, "I feel for you but...". I told her that the only way this t-shirt would be taken off is if she ripped it off my dead body. She told me to go cool-off and her I am writing to all of you. Does anyone have any advise or comments. Please no flames.

Thanks!

How about the use of commie for the scum coming to washington. will cnn say the commie word?.

[Lexington Green]

Good going. Take no crap from traitors.

My comment is: Where did you get that T-Shirt? I want one. Tell the old lady that just like she has the right to wear a tye-dyed t-shirt with a peace sign on it, you have the right to wear your t-shirt. If she disagrees, tell her if she doesn't like free-speech, go live with the Taliban. Seriously, don't lose your job over this it wouldn't be worth it. But where did you get that shirt?

Good for Dennis.

This policy of CNN's is a particularly specious packaging of political correctness. To say that those who flew the planes into the Twin Towers and Pentagon, regardless of their specific identities, are not terrorists is to imply that the motivations for the attacks are not determined.

We're way beyond that now. Not to mention the fact that these men can virtually never be judged in a court of law to the standard of conclusiveness that CNN seems to desire. That's because they've been vaporized, as well as those eyewitnesses aboard the planes, who alone were in the position to remove the "alleged" from "hijacker."

And if CNN's official policy is that the men responsible for this are not terrorists until proven so in court, then they must also implicitly believe that any extra-judicial responses to these attacks are by default, illegitimate. Especially so, given our military response will involve much more than the mere labelling of terrorists for a newscast.

CNN again proves its corruption, and why it will continue to lose marketshare.

In a related note, CNN is now re-describing Hitler's aggression into Poland as rambunctiousness.

Simply tell her that her argument is with the President (as well as 90% of the public), and to take it up with him.

Failing that, ask her if she really wants people to know that she doesn't want Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive"?

[truthkeeper]

Dennis added "There is objective criterion for terrorism," which the "alleged hijackers" fulfilled by their behavior. Dennis: "The word is in the dictionary...they can look it up!"

[truthkeeper]

I told her that the only way this t-shirt would be taken off is if she ripped it off my dead body.

No matter what you decide, I loved your response. You're my kind of guy!

Using a thick red magic marker, draw a line through the word "Alive" and write in "Deader."

Unless there is specific company policy against the shirt or attire of the like, she has no right to tell you to remove it. My company has a dress code that I accept with employment. Although I would not be Fired on a first offense. I would also venture to say that my Retired Navy Boss would get a kick out of it anyway.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE SHIRT! I want one!

[Mr. Wright]

Will someone please check and see if CNN referred to Timothy McVey as a "terrorist"! If they did not, what did they call him - a "truck highjacker" Just wondering

[netman]

Seriously, don't lose your job over this it wouldn't be worth it

Well what is free speech worth? Many have lost much more than a job.

I find it fascinating that the journalists have decided that they must maintain a solid wall of impartiality between the united western democracies and the terrorist kilers. So ethically pure they are! Particularly interesting since there has been very little effort to maintain that impartiality between Democrats and Republicans. In that case they take sides without problems.
