Total crap from beginning to end. It wasn't just that she praised Bin Laden (she did), but that she was so provably wrong in her statements. She is too damned dumb to be a senator.

Osama the Philanthropist. Yeah, right. How many day-care centers and health care facilities did he build in Afghanistan, where women weren't allowed to work or receive medical care?

He was not only living in Afghanistan, remember, but was also part of that country's government. In the weeks before 9/11, he had been placed in charge of their armed forces.

They want to believe that the people who hate us do so simply because they are evil

I don't really care if they hate us or not. They are evil because the maim and kill innocent people. They are evil because not one of them believes in freedom but are only people that want to overturn the existing order and place themselves in positions of power for no other reason than the power itself.

By the way, shouldn't you be posting a Rhandi Rhodes article about now? ;D

This essay is drenched in the foul, bitter sewage of moral equivalence--a liberal-democrat specialty.

What the bonehead Murray essentially did was ask these high school students, "Why O why can't the US be more like St. Osama?" It is not at all different from Bill Maher's praising the vicious Twin Towers terrororists (who sneaked into the aircraft and slashed the throats of helpless, unarmed stewardesses and pilots before delivering the ultimate sucker punch to thousands of similarly unarmed and helpless souls whose only crime was to arrive for work that morning) as "brave."

We cannot let this rest. The more they try to defend Murray, the worse she looks. We must keep them on the defensive for there is no response they can make--apart from mercilessly repudiating Murray's idiot comments (which they will never do)--that will give her cover.

How can the author write this piece without once mentioning Trent Lott and his recent tribulations? The author has an agenda and it's to protect Liberal politicians, who say stupid things. One problem with Sen Murray's comments is that she was factually wrong, saying that the US hasn't spent anything on her favorite liberal solutions. The US gave millions in food to Afghanistan, right at the time Bin Laden was planning the 9/11 attacks. Patty Murray is wrong AND she is stupid.

Did Murray praise bin Laden? No, she didn't. Did she say he was a good person? No, she didn't. Was she complimentary toward him? No, she wasn't.

Liar.

He's been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful.

"He's made their life better. We have not done that. We haven't been out in any of these countries helping them build their infrastructure."

I guess doing all of these wonderful things for people must be bad then.
