It's Ugly Out There

“I don’t trust you or any Arab in this country anymore. You are not out for America, you are out to turn this country into a Muslim country and we will not let this happen. Just remember that the Arabs are terrorists…they are monsters and talking peace will not do it.”

<snip>

Had enough? That’s just a smattering of the e-mails I received last week after I sent out my endorsement of John Kerry for President. I share them with you as a reminder that in the post-9/11 world “it’s still ugly out there.” Hate and anger have been unleashed and have not been brought under control.

All of this occurred in the same week in which the FBI arrested yet another person and charged him with a hate crime for threatening my life.

1. What has this guy been smoking?

“There’s something pitiful about Arab and Muslim American leaders using the democratic process here to defeat a President who has done so much to promote democracy in the Arab and Muslim worlds".

He CAN'T be talking about BUSH! Everything the Chimp in Chief has done has inflamed the Arab and Muslim worlds. The Chimp has started another Crusade to eradicate the Muslims. I don't know where this guy has been for the last 3 years, but the Chimp has done more to promote terrorism than defeat it. :eyes: These are the people that support Bush, ignorant, knee jerk reactionaries.
