Stop the Muslim hate? Let me fill you in: in this country we can say whatever we want. our theory is, if you don’t like it change the channel or don’t read it.
So is it hate speech to talk about Aisha losing her virginity to Muhammed at the age of nine? Is it hate speech to disclose that the Koran mandates the killing or subjugation of “the people of the book,” Christians and Jews, if they refuse to make shipwreck of their souls and convert to Islam?
Um… how much do we get paid? I don’t know ’cause I ain’t seen no checks from the RNC yet.
Back to the topic of the article, FedEx succesfully defended itself against a lawsuit that was trying to punish free speech. The Muslims and liberals who are writing in this thread want to punish free speech. Drew apologizes for people exercizing their right to free speech.
Funny you think I’m getting paid for not putting a tail between my legs. My husband is a Marine Corp Officer and currently on his second year long deployment. I am a proud Marine wife and sacrifice the comfort of having him at home with me everyday because I believe in their mission! We know several service members who have been killed and their lives and efforts will not be tarnished like Cindy Sheehan has so foolishly attempted to do to her son.
Recent email from his patrolling location in Iraq, “Things are very, very different here than the last time. I can’t tell you everything but I will tell you that the lack of support from the population that I complained about last time has taken a turn for the better. I don’t think it is getting much press judging from the little that I watch before I get tired of listening to election ****, and lies about how poorly the war is going, and have to turn it off. There has been a lot of progress though, and those who are still negative need to hold their tongues and keep quiet because they are about to make damned fools of themselves if we are able to stay and see this one through. I bet they know this though and that may be their new motivation, to pull us out before they are proven wrong.”
Progress is being made and we must be committed to completion.
I apologize to Fatima for some of the comments coming from these skin-heads. I am both a Republican and an insurance professional – and retired from the US Navy and am here to tell you that their’s is not the majority opinion.

If you read the article you see that FedEx lost a similar case in California last year to the tune of $12.5 million. Also, in Mass., “The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination ruled in March that the employees’ complaints were valid, clearing the way for the drivers to pursue their case”
That does not sound like anyone has won a case on free speech to me.
Drew…funny you should mention it, I just read an article about exactly what you’re talking about. Basically, the right wing crazies actually hire these trolls to search around the internet and find a hot button topic. They then proceed to post hard core hate speech. After that, when the actual talking points of the day come out, they seem more centrist when a person has read some the posts. A very Rovian tactic.
Oh, I forgot, it also creates this sort of “perceived conservatism” that doesn’t actually exist in the country. For example, something like 70% of American people do not consider immigration a top issue facing our country today. However, since racism, either blatant or veiled is a pillar of the right, they jumped on the wagon.
The problem is that 2008 is shaping up to be even worse than 2006 for the righties, and there is a real concern that the base, especially in the south, is just going to stay home. So, they pick the ‘scare’ issues, run them constantly on Fox, Limbaugh, blogs, etc, and that way they can get the base out in 2008.
Think of Guilliani’s campaign…he’s pro gay rights, pro choice and pro gun control, but supposedly hard on the war and torture. Well, why would any right winger vote for a social liberal like that. The answer is they will if you scare them enough. Easy way to get your uneducated and uninformed base out.
You’re right – it has been a while since I read the article. You’re wrong in calling mea skinhead. You don’t even know what race I am. I guess name calling is better than nothing when you have no more argument.

They serve who wait. God bless you, and keep your hubby safe as he and his comrades protect (even the fools among) us.

Jeff,
I have it on good authority that Karl Rove has you in his binoculars right now. He says that you look really stupid in that tin foil hat.
Now discern the real message in this post using your George Soros decoder ring.
foil hat and nothin’ else…enjoy the show!
