I find that...humorous, especially since the "new testament" is simply a collection of tales selected and edited centuries after the life of jesus. It's just a religious tome with "questionable" accuracy, right? ![]() |

I don't disagree, though I believe organized religion is a major contributor. Central and South America indigenous peoples were decimated in the name of Jesus. |

How about anti religious folks. Do you suppose a few of them are acting in hateful extreme ways, say, for instance, you? I bet 99% of the murder in this country is by non-active or non-christians... |

I hope the captured guy hasn't been shot so badly he dies, either of his wounds or as the result of something happening to him while he is in custody. If he lives, we might get to the bottom of this attack and perhaps if there are others involved. I've already seen too many morons referring to him as a "Muslim scumbag," and "well, what do you expect from Muslims." Disgusting. Same thing as saying: "All Christians **** little boys. Every single one of them in every case without exception. It is the entire foundation of the religion and everyone who identifies as Christian really means "I have raped as many children as I could get my hands on." I missed the 'well, what do you expect from Muslims.' Could you point that one out please. On the other hand, the two who performed the act were Muslim scumbags. That's an appropriate name for a couple of Muslim terrorists. Your analogy is bull****. No one said anything remotely like that. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling' - the liberals' last stand. If you have followed Harry's modus operandi over the years, then you will have noticed that he seeks out those who seem to have a soft spot somewhere in their psychological make up or back ground. He will then chip away at that spot trying to force some sort of emotional blow up. This is a form of bullying of course which Harry seems to find amusing for some reason. It would be all too easy to compile a list of some of his past victims that he has driven from this group. Mr Hypocrite himself, drooling over with false concern for the down trodden of the world, getting his jollies by trying to push people over the edge. It's pretty sick behavior and typical for a sociopath. When no one seems to be rising to the bait, Harry will invent a new sock puppet or invite a few "friends" over from some other group. The antidote for all this is to just cut him off and ignore the sock puppets when they becme known. |

Unlike Chris Mathews who became obviously agitated during his show's coverage of the event because the police authorities weren't providing sufficient real time information as to what was going on to his satisfaction. Does he seriously think he is so important that the law enforcement authorities owe him answers to his "Hardball" type questions and tirades? What an ass ! I wholeheartedly agree with that post. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling' - the liberals' last stand. What else would you expect from MSNBC? There are no republicans there... no Dick... Joe is not a republican no matter how much you would like to think he represents "the other side"... LOL! |
