Regardless of the facts of this particular case, who the fuck are you to tell us what does and does not constitute prayer? Unless you're currently employed as a Prayer Inspector, you should keep such nonsense to yourself.
Clearly, this is much ado about nothing. The SS investigated, and found no real threat. What would be interesting would be if she continued to make such "public prayers", but I don't think she's that dumb.
And how do you read this as an incitement? Would it still be incitement, if we substituted Easter Bunny for God? Here, let's try it:
Dear Easter Bunny:
Wassup? How's it hanging? Yeah, I know it's been a long time since we talked. This probably stems from my belief that you do not exist. Anyway, the reason why I'm calling you is because last night, President Bush said that he could feel it every time we prayed for him, and since he apparently doesn't listen to anyone but you, Easter Bunny, I thought you might pass this along to him.
Please kill George Bush. I hate him so much. I think he is a giant dick and I want terrible things to happen to him. I'm not really big on the specifics of how he dies, but if you could at least arrange it so that the authorities find his dead body on top of an underage black male prostitute surrounded by a mountain of cocaine and child pornography, that would really be super-awesome. And maybe you could have some media people there when the police find the body, so they can take pictures and stuff. That'd be fucking GREAT. Am I allowed to say "fuck" in a prayer? Shit, I just said it again. Ah, well.
Anyway, that's my prayer, Easter Bunny. Please, please, please kill Dubya. And Dick Cheney. And everyone else in the Bush Administration. Maybe they can all commit mass suicide together or something. I don't know. You're the one with all the ideas. You come up with something. I need more coffee.
Smooches and Huggles, anniesj
Try it with Santa Claus and with Tooth Fairy. I still don't see the incitement.
What's scary to me is that this American (?) would spew such venom that you would expect only from outright enemies. Her sentiments are identical to those of Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat, Kim Jong-il, and every other dictator and terrorist out there. Her actions are clearly seditious. They represent not only a threat to George W. Bush but to the nation's civility and democratic processes.
What's scary to me is how you equate some girl of questionable judgement with Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat, Kim Jong-il, etc. Either you don't really understand what a threat these people pose, or your one of those types that cannot handle any criticism of the government. It's that type that are the real threat to democracy.
Here we have an example of a post that needs to be moderated, -1 Overrated.
This is a proper use of that particular mod, as contrasted with using it to mod an unmodded post with which you do not agree.
Go ahead and mod it down now, then turn to page 47 of your texts.
What was that? You in the back. Good catch! Yes, this post you're reading now is a great example of an off topic post. Go ahead and mod it down, and open your texts.
If 300 tones of high explosive can go missing right out from under the UN's nose. . ..
That is some amazing spin. Do you actually believe that? What is wrong with you? Seriously. At what point did you lose your ability to think and just become another node for disseminating the daily talking points/lies? Is re-electing the President so important that you will ignore reality?
If it's true that Kerry will say anything to get elected, it doesn't bother me that much. That's what politicians do. We know Bush does it as well. What bothers me is that some people will believe anything so that they can unquestioningly support their candidate.
1) Then why does the Bush team have convicted (and later pardoned by Bush Sr) criminal Eliot Abrams making speeches to the Christian right, explaining the scriptural validity on the War on Iraq?
2) Missionaries have nothing to do with crusades. Crusades are about converting others at sword point. (Or even slaughtering different Christian sects if it will keep up the troops morale.) Missionaries are a component of Colonialism. Unfortunately for the neocons, there have been a few snags in those plans.
Bush has used the word "CRUSADE" more than once. Now, maybe when you hear that word you happily think if a "crusade against cancer" or "campus crusade for Christ". That is because you are ignorant of history. The people of the Middle East still remember The Crusades, not to mention a couple of centuries of more recent bullshit.
Let me put it this way. If we were a Muslim Theocracy, and the Middle East was mostly Christian, how do you think they'd react if our leader declared a Jihad on them?
Also, because someone is a "hater", does this mean that he's immediately barred from saying anything?
You're not keeping up with the new definitions. A Bush Hater is someone who disagrees with Bush and has facts to back up their position. See also traitor, America Hater and unpatriotic.
3) Torturing Human beings, killing innocents and holding prisoners in violation of the Geneva convention are justified because "the terrorists are worse".
Haven't read the book, but Wolves and Dogs are of the same species. Dogs are, more or less, domesticated wolves. Some breeds are a lot closer to wolves than others, of course.

No, it's a prayer, formatted as a blog.
