You know, this guy?
He has reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllly gone over the edge, now.
"Now, I’m sure some people will find the idea of kidnapping the children of Islamists to be morally objectionable. So be it. So far as I’m concerned, the Islamists forfeited their right to be parents the moment they first spoke a word against the United States. That they have been allowed to continue to reproduce to this point is less a reflection of their continuing rights in this area and more of our own laziness and timidity. They’ll all be better off being raised by good Christian families in the US of A."
Just for fun, he also proposes that good American patriots car bomb a few local mosques, burn down a few newsstands - you know, silly little pranks like that.
What a freak.

If so, he should decidedly KNOW BETTER than this. It was people who espoused views like his who put Japanese-Americans into detention centers during WWII, without probable cause, with no trial, for an indefinite period of time (unless I'm mistaken - my history is not the best).
What the OTHER fuck?

Date: 2005-01-29 01:17 am (UTC)For some reason, I keep thinking that people in general are decent and good. I don't know *why* this feeling persists, but things like this put a good dent in that thought. Which is probably why I despise people like this so much...they put dents in my idealism and I've been a liberal most of my life...I'm not sure how many more dents the ol' armor can take.
