Answer to post #9.

h. An unbelievably great roll in the hay.

Uh...yeah.

Isn't that part of the definition of conspiracy, "..to intentionally plot and design a certain course of [action] among persons numbering more than one.."

But then, that's only an approximate legal description.

[Egregious Philbin]

In a little-noticed story almost exactly one year after Muslims staged the most horrific terrorist attack the world has ever seen, a Muslim en route from Germany to Kosovo emerged from the airplane bathroom and tried to strangle a stewardess with his shoelaces. (Not that there's anything unpeaceful about that.)

That story was squirreled away in small box at the very bottom of Page A-9 of the Times. In the entire Lexis Nexis archives, only three newspapers reported the incident. Not one mentioned that the attacker was a Muslim. It was a rather captivating story, too. Earlier in the flight, the Muslim responded to the stewardess's offer of refreshments by saying, "I'd like to drink your blood." (Not that there's anything unpeaceful about that.)

If the Times was one of three newspapers to report it, shouldn't it be commended for that? Coulter leaves a few things out. Only three newspapers (and many, many more websites)carried the Reuters article which didn't mention that the ethnic Albanian man was Muslim (and I can't find proof of that anywhere). So the blame, for that one at least, can't be placed solely on the Times. She also fails to mention that he was being deported. Perhaps that had something to do with the incident? His faith is likely incidental to the story.

Also last week, another practitioner of the Religion of Peace, this one with ties to al-Qaida, tried to board a plane in Switzerland with a gun. This story did not merit front-page coverage at The New York Times.

Actually, Ann, it was Sweden. At least that guy is actually a Muslim. And The New York Times did carry the story: here it is reprinted in The Arizona Republic. I think Ann Coulter confuses the New York Times' Op-Ed section with its News section. She's an Op-Ed pundit, or a particularly lazy journalist.

On July 4 this year, an Egyptian living in California -- who had complained about his neighbors flying a U.S. flag, had a "Read the Koran" sticker on his front door, and expressed virulent hatred for Jews -- walked into an El Al terminal at the Los Angeles airport and started shooting Jews. (Not that there's anything unpeaceful about that.)

The Times casually reported the possibility that his motive was a fare dispute. Four days after the shooting, the story vanished amid an embarrassed recognition of the fact that any Muslim could snap at any moment and start shooting.

The Times reported, accurately, that the FBI agent in charge of the investigation thought there were three possible motives. I don't know if The New York Times' Op-Ed page indulged his ridiculous speculation.

"Coulter is someone who is selling books by raping the label conservative and turning it into a hateful message which is turning away millions of Americans"

Typical Democrat liberal socialist drivel. Moslems are peace loving people who are misunderstood NOT!

The fact that Ann Coulter is reading my "Breaking News" posts about the Balkans is such a turn on.

However, I just read a tiny blurb that the FBI has now classified the shooting at the El Al ticket counter at L.A.X. as terrorism and no longer considers it to have been a fare dispute or road rage or due to eating Twinkies..

Ann Coulter was wrong about who came up with that "motive", but she was right about it being totally ridiculous. I wonder how many months they mulled over the possible motive to finally arrive at the obvious conclusion?
