    Sympathy =

    1. Trying to say that he was tortured into saying it
    2. Saying that it's natural for anti-American terrorists to want death to Bush
    3. Trying to minimize the assassination plot by claiming that Bush assassinated the head of a sovereign nation

    Basically any liberal post that doesn't comdenm the act, and trying to rationalize the assassination plot, is expressing sympathy, either directly or indirectly.

    1. Would indicate the possibility of innocense but not sympathy.

    2. Again, nothing about sympathizing there.

    3. Doesn't minimize anything but merely states a seperate assertion

    I am a teacher and if you need me to I will try and find some vocabulary programs to help you out. Just let me know.

    i told you post the actual quotes and who said them??

    and are you sure 1, 2, and 3 are signs of sympathy??? sympathy is feeling sorry for the guy for being caught, convicted, and in prison.. anyone here expressed sympathy?

    Please read a little closer. He said it's natural for anti- American terrorists to NOT want death to Bush.

    Your reading comprehension skills leave much to be desired.

    As a right-leaning member of the board, I agree with you. However, it's not going to matter. There are many people on this board from both sides who want honest debate. Then there are those who want to name call and "goad" the other side.

    For the life of me I have -never- understood why bigtexxx and TJ are allowed to get away with this kind of crap in this forum without some sort of administrative repercussion.

    I don't come in here much at all, but thats a great point. I'm shocked that someone can post such nonsense and not be banned from these boards.

    Does your definition of the word "nonsense" mean "different than your own opinion"?

    If texxx and T_J should be banned for what they do, how can you guys not get upset at things like this as well?

    Calling a cliche political term "nonsense" isn't exactly in the same league as saying posters on this board support those who would try to murder our President.

    i haven't said that he was or wasn't.

    I find it interesting how you and other Muslims immediately start defending the guy and claiming he was tortured.

    However - bush does look scared:

    It is indeed amazing that to some on this board only Christians are capable of hatred (and bigotry).

    God, you guys are amazing. Nobody, repeat NOBODY, on this board has ever said anything even approaching that. Ever. Christianity, like every religion (and non-religion) has been responsible for hatred and bigotry, yes. Pointing that out is nowhere near saying that's all the religion is "capable of." That's just ridiculous. Furthermore, nobody -- NO BODY -- has rooted for terrorists on this board. Stop lying. It's Thanksgiving for crying out loud.

    Yeah, especially when Sarah Silverman is clearly just as if not more capable of such.


    I'm only kidding Batman! :p
    Don't be pissed.....Happy Thxgiving, Buddy!
