Steelers Running Back Rashard Mendenhall Defends Osama Bin Laden
NESN ^ | 3 May 2011 | Michael Hurley

Posted on 05/03/2011 7:02:38 AM PDT by LSUfan

The 23-year-old native of Illinois didn't like the way Americans were celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden on Monday, and he let out his frustrations on Twitter.

"What kind of person celebrates death?" Mendenhall, who last made national headlines for fumbling in the Super Bowl and "celebrating" a little too hard with Ben Roethlisberger in the playoffs, wrote. "It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side ..."

That wasn't all, though, as Mendenhall expressed doubt that airplanes could have demolished the World Trade Center.

"We'll never know what really happened," Mendenhall wrote. "I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style."

Obviously, Mendenhall has spent at least 15 minutes watching some of the awesome 9/11 conspiracy videos on YouTube, and he's passing that off as "enlightenment."

"There is not an ignorant bone in my body," he said. "I just encourage you to [think]."

Won’t catch me doing that! I am a Packer fan! HA

Steelers fans and Packers fans seem to have a lot of mutual respect. Congrats on winning the Super Bowl. Only two more to go :) (I know, thirteen chamionships...)

That's right, Rashard.

They're all in your head.

There, there now...time for your meds.

Here’s hoping there is a next year to be played, maybe even a possible rematch.

Yep, that would sound good. Just with a different result :)

What a clown. Even in his apology he called the death of Bin Laden a “murder”.

For once I’m glad he’s not a Bear.

He’s a complete and total moron.

OTOH, look at who is boss is: Dan “Hand me my Obama knee pads” Rooney. And how much did that ambassadorship to Ireland cost?
