Send Senator "Taliban Patty" Murray (D-Wa)
an e-mail asking her to resign her Senate position
By now I am sure you are all familiar with the statement that Senator Patty Murray, the Democrat Senator from Washington State, made which was praising Osama bin Laden. There is an article that was posted today which showed that now the TalibanOnline has put the article from WorldNetDaily on their website.
It is disgusting that a U.S. Senator would give "aid and comfort" to the enemy by making such a foolish statement. That the enemy has put it up on their website is a good illustration why the old rule that criticism of the President (and etc.) stops at the borders. ONLY Liberal Democrats don't seem to honor that unwritten rule of honor anymore. In fact, the Liberal Democrats don't seem to have any honor about a lot of things. But that's another subject.
Here is the link to the TalibanOnline site and the text of the article they reference:

| Democrat senator praises bin Laden Posted on Monday, December 23 @ 14:36:54 ICT By Pak Taliban |
 December 20, 2002, By Art MooreSEATTLE – Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told a group of high-school students in her state that the U.S. should adopt Osama bin Laden's nation-building tactics. "We've got to ask, why is this man so popular around the world?" said Murray, according to the Vancouver Columbian newspaper. "Why are people so supportive of him in many countries that are riddled with poverty?" The second-term senator, who faces re-election in 2004, was responding to questions from world history students and student government leaders at Columbia River High School in Vancouver, Wash., on Wednesday. Murray said, according to the Vancouver paper, that bin Laden has 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. We haven't done that." "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?" Murray asked. Murray, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the 107th Congress, voted against an October Senate resolution – passed by a 77-23 margin – that gives President Bush authority to use military force against Saddam Hussein's regime. Murray concluded the session with students by challenging them to consider alternatives to war, the Columbian reported. She said that while building up Third World nations is costly, war is expensive too. "Your generation ought to be thinking about whether we should be better neighbors out in other countries so that they have a different vision of us," said Murray. "It is a debate I think we ought to have." (The rest of the story trie's to put down Osama with the same old rubbish and a thought, is this why the Kuffar in Afghanistan are trying to set bases of the so called reconstruction phase, thinking if they look like helping the Afghan's that they might start to like them or something? No doubt the Russians did the same thing. What would please us is when you pack and go. (in sha Allah ) Full Version Here |
Also, here is a short audio of an excerpt of her remarks from December 20th:
I'm with you! E-mails sent.
The party of no ideas other than division needs to be exposed for the enemies of freedom that they are.

Greetings!
I've noted, with some dismay, the overwhelming lack of coverage by the "mainstream" media over the past week concerning comments from Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) regarding her perception of the humanitarian acts of Usama bin Laden, and his popularity in the world.
Sen. Murray's statements are quite offensive to most Americans, and are at least on a par with the comments uttered by Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS). You in the major media spent hundreds of hours of air time, and hundreds of column-inches of print, in excoriating Sen. Lott, parsing his words, analyzing his statements and intent. Why have you not done the same for Sen. Murray?
The media, in general, spends much time and effort to state that they are not biased - that they offer a fair and balanced view of the news. With respect, it is difficult to believe that contention, based upon the current evidence of these two news stories.
I would respectfully request that your organisation take another look at your current editorial and news selection process, and reconsider your actions regarding the Sen. Murray situation.
Many thanks.

Senator Murray,
I have just joined a new veteran's group called "Vietnam Vets Against the Traitors . " We watched our brothers die in Vietnam because of traitors like Jane Fonda. No one here at home stood up for us.
Now you are supporting our enemies in the current war and we will not let you go unopposed. We will denounce you at every turn. We are currently mounting a nation wide "Letter to thr Editor" campaign to warn people about your anti-American activities.
Why not re-think your position and support our soldiers? It is the moral thing to do.
My Name,
My Address
