You and the type of people you cater to, are the kind of "mindless sheep" that are as dangerous to America as a thousand Osamas! The shameless way in which you attack Sen. Murray reminds me of a very frightened little boy that wants to lash out at anything that moves because of his own fear.
I know you will not print this, it was never meant for that. What it was meant for was Art Moore, a person that shows off his own brand of mindless gibberish as if it were a badge of honor. Sen. Murray cares more about this country than you could, or ever have on your best day. The way which you twisted her words into something they never were would make even the greatest liar that ever lived blush.
You have much in common with the young kid who yells fire in a theater when there is none, just so he can hide and watch the people run screaming from the theater with terror taking their minds over. Some may think as they flee that they smelled smoke, others may think they saw flames. All because you were able to plant a lie in their minds when you yelled fire in the theater where there was none.
Only a buffoon with a very sick sense of humor by the name of Art Moore, a wannabe news editor with WorldNetDaily and his accomplice Bruce Eberle, a person who it seems was never was able to use the words "basic English" and "passing grade" in the same sentence.

Congratulations on your great splash into Yellow Dog Journalism that has helped to make WND so "notable." If you ever come to this part of the country, bring your inner tube you could splash around and feel quite at home in our city "lagoon."
As no admirer of bin Laden, nor a supporter of Sen. Murray, I think it is quite unfair to add your twisting of what she stated. Bin Laden is popular in the Muslim world your braying is a disservice to whoever would take the time to read your asinine article.

Wow, you've got a new story an hour, it seems, about Sen. Murray. How about just giving up and getting some common sense? You are wasting your time she's not going to resign, and the news isn't going to pick this story up.
Sure, it's easy to get anyone to sign a petition, but it just really doesn't mean anything. Are we who are loyal WND readers going to have to suffer through story after story after story about this? Move on to more important topics in the news and get creative.

I never, ever write in or respond to anything, but felt very compelled to do so in this case after reading the various story lines involving Patty Murray and her bin Laden comments. I find it deplorable and scary that we cannot dialogue in this country without intense scrutiny, threats of violence and online polls to resign for simply asking questions.
This particular case in point in my mind is particularly dangerous, because now no one will be able to ask the questions that Pat Murray was asking. In case you haven't realized it, she was asking these questions and making these statements to help us figure out a way out from this tremendous threat that we're facing. Also, in case you didn't realize, the "we're the strongest, we don't have to listen to anyone else's opinion, America's perfect" mentality isn't working too well.
We're making enemies on an almost daily basis, many of our strong friends are now lukewarm at best besides the ever loyal British most of our allies are allies because of a combination of money and coercion. Our attitude and policies are allowing bin Laden and other leading Islamists to keep millions of people fomenting at the mouth dreaming of destroying us. Our current warlike posture to Iraq will further fuel their zeal and create hundreds of thousands more like them.
The situation is dire, the implications are huge, chemical or dirty bomb attacks in our cities plus who-knows-how-many other methods of attack. As a nation, our way of life has never been more threatened. At a time like this, when all options and ideas should be looked at, you launch a campaign to shut down and drown out a very necessary dialogue that needs to be addressed.
How many times do you see the people in various Islamic countries carry Bush pictures in support? How many carry bin Laden's? How many times do you see them burning the American flag? Don't you see how helpful it would be to look into why that happens? When you're not feeling well, you go to the doctor you tell him the symptoms and he figures what is the probable cause and gives you medication. He doesn't criticize you and say you are praising your illness, he listens and tries to fix you.
Patty Murray wasn't praising bin laden, she was trying to get us out of this horrible situation. Praising him is saying, "yes he's right, what a great guy." Asking what it is that he does that makes him popular so that we might use it to help defeat him is intelligent. Trying to kill that message and force her to step down is ignorant, foolhardy and dangerous.

This I think is a journalitic slur from a Yellow Streak Leftist who fails to grasp the terms.
Yellow Dog refers to democRat who would vote for a yellow dog before deserting the Democrat party.
On the other hand, Blue Dog Democrat refers to more reasonably minded souls who allow reason to control over ideology and vote against the party line.
A Yellow Streak Democrat is one who fears confrontation and would reather die in his home than defend his faith with force. He wears a strip of yellow "CAUTION" tape stapled to his collar and displayed on his back.
It would have been a good line, it it was intended as humor. This jerk was prolly series.
What strikes me is the complete hypocrisy. I couldn't help but think of Sen. Lott and how his comments have been twisted and pasted and posted and replayed over and over and over again, and yet the same sort of folks who wrote in to defend Patty wouldn't dream of defending Lott with the same rhetoric. It's amusing to read their comments with the insertion of Lott's name wherever Murray's name appears. For example:
The way which you twisted HIS words into something they never were would make even the greatest liar that ever lived blush.
I think it is quite unfair to add your twisting of what HE stated.
Wow, you've got a new story an hour, it seems, about Sen. LOTT. How about just giving up and getting some common sense? You are wasting your time HE's not going to resign, and the news isn't going to pick this story up.
TRENT LOTT wasn't praising STROM'S SEGREGATIONISM, HE was trying to BLESS A 100 YEAR OLD MAN WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY....Trying to kill that message and force HIM to step down is ignorant, foolhardy and dangerous.
See what I mean?
I bet you do, leftie, I just bet you do...
Interesting, isn't it, that slandering America to our youth (and doing so intentionally, for Murray damn well knows what we spend on foreign development aid) and praising mass murderers is "dialogue," whereas public exposure of same by journalists and commentators consitutes "intense scrutiny" and even "threats of violence".
Gary should not have referenced Bill Clinton in his response. (greatest liar who ever lived).
It's odd that Gary didn't discuss the twisting and stretching of Trent Lott's words..........
Patty "the other white meat" Murray:
Seattle Weekly Article
THE ONETIME reformist mom in tennis shoes can bring home the bacon. Strewn amid $190 million in new federal transportation spending for Washington (three times last year's appropriations), U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) found $3 million for the Odyssey Maritime Museum, a waterfront attraction that's not exactly a cure for Seattle gridlock. There's also $4 million for a Bainbridge-Seattle ferry "dolphin replacement project," $475,000 for an "adverse weather operation" in Yakima County, and $200,000 for a "trucker congestion notification system" in Tacoma. She also planted $4.6 million in prime transportation fat for a local shipyard to test and evaluate an already-developed patrol boat for the Coast Guard.
More impressively, the senior senator speared a mammoth slab of the other white meat for Boeing, a $20 billion Air Force lease agreement for 100 aerial- refueling jets that Murray tucked into the new $318 billion defense-spending bill. With an assist in the House by veteran porker Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), Murray's leasing and other funding feats were remarkable not only for their old-boy fat content but for the political and media fallout.
These are phrases, not "words."
