Traitor or Ignorant Fool ... It doesn't matter

I think it goes to intent, and I am not defending her action. There is stupidity and there is evil. I do not know her heart or her mind but I can understand how a misguided person could take this stand. I have been troubled by some on this post – not you – who seem to take pleasure in this death. Perhaps I am just concerned because we seem to be headed – necessary – war; which will almost certainly see a loss of life on both sides. And I am not comparing her in any way to our troops. She was young and had her life in front of her; now her life is over. I think that is tragic. And while the ultimate responsibility is hers, it does not follow that she had it coming.

BTW Thanks for not making too much fun of me for using trader instead of traitor. ;)

Wow. Chick had more balls than 99% of the chair-jockeys posting here, and these pissant insults are the best you can come up with?

Sure, she threw away her life for a pretty piss-poor reason, but you've got to respect the spirit it took to do it. And at least she gave enough of a rat's @$$ about other people to do more than throw lame insults.

[Natural Law]

We can't question her sincerity, but her motives were questionable and her methods sheer lunacy.

[CheneyChick]

Thanks for the links. I'm shocked and horrified he still chooses to live in this country.

This is your heroine! Come back with your condemnation of us after you've watched the perplexed faces of Palestinian children as they observe this stalinist fanatic. (Lifted from post # 18 on thread.)

[isthisnickcool]

So, to be right wing politically correct, we are to mourn this little stalinist to be? It's too bad, really, but she didn't have much long to live anyways. After the coming revolution the revolutionaries will be among the first ones to go under the guillotine.

I started to ask what the hell you are talking about but I re-read this a few times and I think I get it.

So, shall we start constructing new Coliseums so you and your ilk can be seated and then decide who gets the "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". Who will be the new "Caesar"? You?

This is the kind of garbage post I have been referring to. It's been bad enough people have joked about the death of this kid. No matter how ill-advised or stupid she may have been. But now you say you plan murder? What else can "the first ones to go under the guillotine" mean but that?

What the hell does this and some of the other posts that gleefully react to the death of this person have to do with "further(ing) conservatism in America"?

What's the difference bewteen your guillotine and the Islamic-Facists that demand we all kneel before Allah or die?

This thread contains some of the most putrid comments I've seen here. Your post may top them all.

I've seen so many wonderful things here. Great things that have come out of this wonderful forum. Freepers have made a difference in America. A great and positive difference! Look what is happening all over the country today. Proud Americans that are conservative holding the flag high and supporting the president.

Your kind of post like this does not, in my opinion, no, scratch that! Your post does not reflect the thoughts and attitudes of conservatives in this country. Period!

Besides, the damn French invented the guillotine!

[Revolting cat!]

You should have re-read that tongue in cheek post a few more times. She is the revolutionary, isn't she, and it's her coming revolution that'll eat its children as they all, the stalinist revolutions have in the past 100 years. You chose to interprete my post to satisfy your own prejudice and anger at the rest of us, thank you too much!

I have no doubt she thought she was immune.

No doubt. She probably, thought, "I'm a pretty American girl. I can do whatever I want. Like stand in front of terrorist squatter homes that the IDF is trying to clear out. They will simply get out of their bulldozers, and we'll drink chamomile tea together and discuss how ugly their uniforms are." And then she realized she wasn't on her safe haven college campus.

[Revolting cat!]

I should have quoted Bugs Bunny at the end: "What a ..."

[Stultis]

Please educate me, oh great Inner Circle One, how standing in front of a bulldozer to protect someone's home is representative of "a culture and philosophy of death.

Free people judge others by their actions.

Alright then, actions it is. Here is the odious, American hating, terror-shielding (and justly dead) leftist b|tch burning a "symbolic" American flag:

Rachel Corrie, 23, from Olympia, Wash., a member of the 'International Solidarity Movement,' burns a mock U.S. flag during a rally in the southern Gaza Strip (news - web sites) town of Rafah in this Feb. 15, 2003 file photo. Corrie was run over and crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer Sunday, March 16, 2003, while she was trying to stop it from tearing down a building in the Rafah refugee camp, witnesses said.

Rachel Corrie's Report from Gaza

[A_perfect_lady]

Geez, she looks like a psychopath of the first order! Oops, I'm sorry, I'm supposed to be sitting here all long-faced over her tragic death.

Nope, can't do it. The glee keeps bubbling up to the surface. Mostly I'm just glad that finally someone said "NO" to this brat (although the driver probably didn't do it on purpose.) I'm so sick of these people blocking traffic and smashing store windows in Seattle, banging drums and smirking in Iraq, blocking bulldozers and embracing Arafat in Israel.... just acting like three year olds run amok. My patience is at a complete end. I've been watching this crap for years. I can hardly stand it anymore!

[Revolting cat!]

Look at this picture carefully (#431.) The face of blind fanaticism. Look at it because chances are you won't see it again. It will be supressed by the liberal media and the deluded, sympathizing pseudo-conservatives like the self described Nick the Cool in favour of saintly photos of the poor idealistic Rachel fighting for a better world for all of us, or at least "for the chilrun"!

[finnman69]

Let this be a lesson to idiot protesters who throw themselves down in roads in front of cars.

[Never2baCrat]

I hope the driver does get a medal since he's rid Israel, the US and the world of another moronic idiot. Good riddance, may there be many more.

[Captiva]

He (Driver) Should get NASCAR Points

No way! He was making a right turn.

[A_perfect_lady]

I pity the driver, I bet he had no intention of hitting her and is utterly freaked out now.

[Pistias]

The face of blind fanaticism

Do you object to fanaticism, or to people who don't share your fanaticism?

[Captiva]

This speaks volumes. In other words, "because WE are here, you have to stop. We command you to stop. We are special, righteous, the annoited. You will therefore stop..."

Excellent Sowell tie-in. Thank you!

LOL! You are comparing a 23 year old American female with a mind full of mush to Hitler and Stalin?

No DB. You're the one who made the absolute statement: "She likely has a family and people that love her. A mom and dad." Did Hitler have a mom and a dad? He certainly had zillions of people who loved him? So did Uncle Joe. Don't make the argument if you don't wish to be called on it.
