Patty
Murray Praises the Enemy
ISSUE:
Republican Sen. Trent Lott was ousted from power for praising
Strom Thurmond. So what happens when a Democrat Senator praises
terrorist leader Osama bin Laden?
According to WorldNetDaily.com, "Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.,
told a group of high-school students in her state that the U.S.
should adopt Osama bin Laden's nation-building tactics." And
apparently, she's making the same comments to students all over
Washington state.
Murray is telling the students that people who live in Third
World countries might have a better view of the United States if
Americans followed Osama bin Laden's example of being
"better neighbors out in other countries so that they have a
different vision of us.... rather than just being the people who
are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan."
Rep. George Nethercutt (R-WA) says that to have a senator suggest
that Osama bin Laden is a good guy and the U.S. hasn't done
anything to help people is "shocking, bizarre and
uninformed," saying, "You have to wonder what country
Sen. Murray has been living in since September 11th."
Democrats like Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE), on the other hand, were
quick to defend her statements as simply a "very bad choice
of words."
A very bad choice? Osama bin Laden didn't build roads, schools
and day cares. He ran terrorist camps in Afghanistan that trained
the killers who carried out the 9/11 attacks on America. It's the
American people who lead the world in helping people of
impoverished countries, not murderers like bin Laden.
ACTION ITEM: Murray is a leader in the Senate; she was
chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in the
recent 107th Congress. After Trent Lott's "very bad choice
of words," Murray was one of the first to say, "Like
all Americans, I was disturbed by Senator Lott's comments.
They were offensive, hurtful and wrong. Worst of all, they do not
appear to be isolated remarks."
Well, Sen. Murray's "offensive, hurtful and wrong"
remarks don't appear to be isolated, either, according to
teachers' reports from across the state of Washington. And as
Chris Vance, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party,
said, "Patty Murray sent the message to these students that
the United States somehow deserved or brought on the September 11
terrorist attacks... It is absolutely outrageous and despicable
to imply that the American government should learn a lesson from
the madman who murdered thousands of American citizens."
The only one who should learn a lesson here is Sen. Murray. Go to
