I must be a new troll. Lol.
I was just pointing out that Mr. Ockrassa's Slanderous remarks are no
different from pres. Bush and other Lying, weaseling Rightwing leaders
accuse atheists of being the the cause of the holocaust. Nor is it
very far removed from Reverend Falwells viciously slanderous remarks:
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the
feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to
make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American
Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the
finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'" about 911.
Not very different at all.
I had no idea that Mr. Ockrassa's comments on an obscure mailing list
had led to the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Iraqis and
Americans.
Impeach Warren Ockrassa!
In fact it is the same tactics being used by the Rightwing media to
slander Sen. Durbin and misdirect attention away from Guantanamo Bay
and torture.
The question is not whether the US man who murdered his 9 children was
like Stalin--clearly he was not. The question is whether he is
different enough. If all you can say to defend this child murderer is
point to Stalin and say Stalin was worse then you are despicable
indeed.
Where did /anybody/ defend this guy? I think several people in this
thread have pointed out that the mere fact that he was a religious
zealot and the fact that he killed his children does not taint religion
itself or those who find comfort and community in it.
The question is whether we continue to support the annoying tendency of
certain posters to assert that it was this insane individual's
religious zealotry that caused him to kill his children, when it is at
least as likely that his insanity drove him to both his religious
zealotry and the murder of his children.
Maybe it's time for someone to take up the cause of knee-jerk
criticisms of crazy people? Every time any crazy act is mentioned on
list, that person needs to chime in with "See, craziness is evil and
should be eradicated."
