Let's Organize to Oust Patty Murray
Seattle Times ^ | Kate in Palo Alto

WASHINGTON — In a lunchtime discussion this week, Sen. Patty Murray told a group of high-school students to think about how Osama bin Laden's generosity to the poor may have helped him win support around the world.

I assume you've all read about Patty Murray's traitorous remarks. If not, go to:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/134600355_murray21m.html

We CAN do something. Let's organize. Let's tell the Seattle newspaper what we all think of Murray's remarks. She's a traitor, no less. We are at war, and that fool supports the enemy. I think she should resign her Senate seat. I wrote a note to the Seattle newspaper suggesting that she resign.

If you feel so inclined, maybe you can send a letter demanding her resignation, too. The e-mail address is: opinion@seattletimes.com

Be sure to include your name, address, and phone #.

Better yet, write up a petition and post it here on FR.

Is she a Republican or DemocRAT? How any Senator can put the "scum of the earth" on a pedestal is beyond me!

I'm not sure about a petition. Let's toss it around. I guess I thought personal letters from TONS of people would be more effective.

My letter just sent:

Dear Sirs, "WASHINGTON — In a lunchtime discussion this week, Sen. Patty Murray told a group of high-school students to think about how Osama bin Laden's generosity to the poor may have helped him win support around the world."

How a Senator can put the "scum of the earth" on a pedestal is beyond me! She is a traitor and should be booted out of office!

Yes, news does come to Maine!

Sincerely,

SheLion, Patty Murray is a Democrat. She was elected some years ago in Washington as "the Mom in Tennis Shoes." She's a frightening woman.

Well, since she praised OBL for building "schools" (terrorist training camps), hospitals, and "Day care centers"(???  For the busy working women in the muslim world???) and said we hadn't given enough aid to the dusky hued, I think you can draw the logical conclusion.

Even MORE so, NOW! Boy, this is mind boggling. Where DO they find these people! I guess her constituents feel the same as her??!!

Thanks, SheLion. That was terrific.

I'd love to see Murray answer for her outrageous comments. In another time, she would have been forced to resign instantly.

We CAN do this. It takes time, but it's the kind of action Freepers do well.

These jerks are like the Ever Ready Bunny. Just keep on going. I sure can't figure out how they continually get elected time-after-time.

And her constituents actually go along with this?

She is backtracking--trying to extract her foot from her mouth. This is from her Senate website. Notice the date.



Sen. Murray Statement on America's Role in the World

Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy;

To sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide does not

For Immediate Release: December 20, 2002

Osama Bin Laden is an evil terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. Bringing him to justice, dismantling his terrorist network, and protecting our nation from further attacks must continue to be our government's highest priorities, and I continue to vigorously support those efforts in the Senate.

While we continue to search every corner of the globe to destroy Osama bin Laden and his al Quaeda network, should we also consider the longer-term issue of what else can be done to improve relations with all nations including the Arab world?

How else can we bring America's values to those who do not understand us?

And while there are some whose hearts and minds may never be won, should we try to reach those who can?

The White House believes that we can do more, and has devoted an entire department to improving America's image in the Arab world.

Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy; to sensationalize and distort in an attempt to divide does not.

While there are some on the extreme fringes of society who try to exploit fear and uncertainty for political gain, there are many more who understand that the best value of our democracy is the freedom to think and to secure a better future.

I went to http://www.wsrp.org/ last night to donate. This sorry excuse for a senator has got to go. Got a free bumper sticker and button, too!

SOMETHING needs to be done. "They" say they always want to hear from us. Well, they have to hear the bad along with the good. I'm tired of this. They get voted into office, then do their own thing, regardless of what the people want. I see it over and over.

KevinDavis, please write to the newspaper and offer your opinion. We need LOTS of support from all parts of the country.

We can do this, folks.

I'd thought Patty Murray was a lesbian due to her extensive work with the sodomite community.  Was I off base here?

TomGuy, she sure is backtracking. Too bad it won't work. It shouldn't work. There's just no excuse for her comments.
