Phew , It was not an Arab

Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 08:30 PM by UndertheOcean

unfortunately that's a real sigh of relief I just made.

too bad you have to feel like that every time something tragic like this happens. I've been at work all day ,so I just heard , probably someone in the media speculated as much before the identity became known. I wouldn't be surprised.

1. My thoughts exactly UndertheOcean, we know how that would have been twisted for RW political gain.

2. Like I said elsewhere

If a crime happens and a freeper jumps to conclusions that is someone who is islamic we chide them, and yet it seems some here behave the same way but use christian/republican.

After 9/11 we urged people not to judge others based on their religion - they said it was justified by their history, and we told them they were wrong then.

I guess in some ways we are similar...

3. Neither was Oklahoma City. But the reich-wingers still claim McVeigh was working for Arabs.

There was even a theory tying him to the Aum Shinrikyo Suicide Cult in Japan, IIRC.

ANYTHING but admit that chrisTian Conservatism is a dangerous blood-lust cult in its own right.

Give it time.

Someone will be claiming the guy is a patsy for some Arab group or something.

They always do that.

4. I never thought for one minute that it was an Arab. I guess I just always

assume the worst about the nuts right here at home anymore.

5. No, it was a German, or perhaps Dutch

or a person of that ancestry, from the surname. How many of the right wingers are denouncing all German-Americans or Dutch Americans?

7. He said in his nutty autobio, that he was German-Austrian. And a painter.

Sounds creepily familiar....
