Ted Re...After seeing your lie about Senator Murray What lie? From Steves link. US Senator Patty Murray of Washington said today that she was resigning from office. This announcement was due to the strong response by Democratic leaders to statements Murray made while addressing a group of high school students in Columbia River High School in Vancouver, Wash. Senator Murphy told the students that America should follow the example of Osama bin Laden, Once again, you are lying. I was referring to your comment, not stevo's: Considering your tasteless berrating of Tench, your senator Murray applauding Bin Laden Now this is what Murray actually said: <font color=brown>"Murray said bin Laden has been "out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that." The senator then asked the students: "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?""<font color=black> worldnetdaily.com We need to do more for the people of Afghanistan than just dropping bombs; do constructive improvements like OBL so that they don't have just one impression of us........a militaristic one.......that's what Murray was saying. And of course she's right..........OBL has gained the loyalty of many Muslims because of the positive work he has done in their countries. Sickeningly, the right wing media transformed the above Murray comments into "applauding OBL". If anyone took the time to find out about Murray, they would know that their interpretation of her was total BS. Of course she was so humiliated at the misrepresentation of her comments, she offered to resign........something good people do. However, her constituency, the people of the state of WA, assured her they understood what she was saying and did not want her to resign. End of story. Of course, you can go on with it......after all, you stupidly are convinced you have an axe to grind but leave me out of it. And frankly, its none of your business.
