"Let's face it. Half of the adult population is walking around spouting off this kind of thing in diners and living rooms across the country,"

And on Free Republic. A lot of the posts here are on the level of Bart Simpson.

These kids are better Americans than their caring, sharing, give-peace-a-chance therapists.

Nicholas Sands, a 6-year-old from Los Angeles, is still so angry that he wants to track down terrorists and "cut off their arms and legs so they die."

"And a child shall lead them."

AMEN!

'You will not do this,"' Billingham says.

Yes we will, sympathizer.

Nice to know that youth of America have better mental health than most baby boomers.

"My don't like the bad people. My will hit the bad people with a hammer."

Thy will be done

[El Cid]

Like none of this ever happened in any previous war?? Of course kids are going to day-dream about whacking the 'bad guys'. What else is new?
File this under the Dog bite man headlines.

"Let's face it. Half of the adult population is walking around spouting off this kind of thing in diners and living rooms across the country," says James Feldman, national director of public education for KidsPeace, a nonprofit organization that deals with children in emotional crisis.

Why is this guy given prominence in a story like this?

Kids Peace, we know what that's about. Not peace.

All these groups, anti-war, peace etc...

out of the mouths of babes!! Thank God!! Children have an inordinate ability to know right from wrong, without all this PC bull$hit.........

This report is disgusting.
Those poor abused children.
They must be immediately removed from their abusive parents, medicated, and re-educated.
Once all the violent thoughts have been removed, they will understand that everyone is really the same,
that all religions worship the same god,
and that all cultures are good.
Only then may the healing process begin.
Let us pray that they find closure.

They better not express their revenge fantasies in the public schools -- zero tolerance, you know.

[All-American Medic]

yeah I know.....what a disgrace!!!!!!

'You will not do this,"' Billingham says.

Yes we will, sympathizer.

"He says fear of that 'mob mentality' prompted officials on his Bloomington, Ind., campus to take swift action after hearing that Middle Eastern students were being verbally harassed after the attacks.

"'We went into our classrooms and just lambasted the stupidity of this behavior and said 'You will not do this,' Billingham says. 'I think the students were surprised, but it also seemed to work.'"

"This" refers to harassment of fellow students who are from the Middle East, not to US military action.

"Hearing such talk can be disconcerting to parents..."

I guess in Modern America, pride is now disconcerting...

[LibWhacker]

I know. It's hard to round them up and toss them into internment camps without harrassing them at least a little.

[BurkeanCyclist]

Then you can go to hell, racist.

[LibWhacker]

You're a fool, sympathizer.
