Praying for an Oswald to emerge among them?

Obsession is not just a river in Egypt.
Seriously, if you're looking for good, decent people in
a religion, the first place you look is not Christianity,
is it? I think people like the Baha'i's might be one,
for example.
s
correct me if I'm wrong- but isn't this a spoof of the prayer letter
that was going around for Gov. Christie of NJ?
- TMS
Yeah, I was right:
http://wcbstv.com/local/governor.christie.union.2.1621917.html
"Dear lord,' this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick
Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer,
Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted
to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."
I missed this reference in HuffPo. I wonder why.
- TMS
Nothing to see here, move on (.org)
Only one of you guys would look at that and think it
was funny enough to steal. It's despicable.
Well that should keep the secret service busy for a while.
It might be, if I had any idea of what you're talking about.
Doug
No that you're judgemental or anything.
Doug (sheesh)
A teachers union in NJ ran with the same "joke," only
earlier. TMS apparently thinks it was an idea worth
borrowing. I think it's disgusting.
cb
You never hear about Baha'i guys praying for
people to die. I'm just saying.

IFYPFY
Is that was TMS said? I sure dont see him saying any such thing.
He started a thread where he insinuated that it
the "Pray for Obama's Death" Facebook group was
justified because of the Chris Christie deal.
cb
Got a link? I'm not seeing it anywhere.
I don't see it on Google, either. Let me comb through my
read posts and I'll follow up to this with it.

"Geekosystem notes that the title is "likely a riff on a letter
circulating New Jersey teachers' unions earlier this month that employed
similar language with respect to (Republican) governor Chris Christie.

I fixed it back. Or do you forget 'Selected, not elected'?
I still don't get the whole Bush is responsible for Katrina attacks.
Blame Bush for Iraq all you want, that's his doing. The merits can be
argued, but he is the one who ultimately decided to go to war with Saddam
after he had broken a variety of resolutions from the ceasefire agreement
from the original Gulf War. Katrina preparations and followup was the
primary responsibilites of the governor of Louisiana as well as the mayor
of New Orleans. The canals were built years before Bush was in office
and he didn't have anything to do with those breaking. Bush could not
have ordered in the Army beforehand, that'd be against the law. So, no,
Katrina is not Bush's fault. The media wrote that story and the media
generally hated Bush, so you keep dialing up MSNBC or whichever place you
like to watch and you'll feel better.
You can keep fooling yourself all you want. Between 9/11 and the time
it became obvious he was going to use it as a pretext to start a war
with Iraq no matter what, his approval ratings were sky high and he
had a ton of goodwill.
If he hadn't been such a disaster as a president, people would have
got over that "selected not elected" thing, and pretty much had after
9/11. Until he reminded us why the majority of Americans had the sense
to vote for his opponent. Such a waste.

Show me evidence of all these deaths at the superdome. Events there were
greatly exaggerated. As for the photo of him in the plane, he would have
been attacked for being on the ground, being in a plane, or being on a
train. It didn't matter. He still had nothing to do with the prep and
initial response to the hurricane.

David, you're making stuff up or misremembering. Pick one.
Both sides were taken to task for Gore v Bush, and when it was all said
and done those on the left who kept banging on about it were mocked most
unmercifully by pretty much everyone. Do you not remember all the
'Sore/Loserman' mock campaign stuff that was on coffee mugs, mousepads,
etc? Do you really not remember that Bush's approval rating was very
high for quite a while, that even though there were signs that he was
not up to the job that it was clear the nation was hoping and praying
that he would be the 'uniter' he promised to be? America wanted a
strong leader in 2000 who would bring us together. We got Bush.
Dammit.
Supporting Bush.
Until it became clear that he was going to invade Iraq no matter what.

"When the Superdome was finally cleared, six bodies were found--not the
200 speculated. Four people had died of natural causes; one was ruled a
suicide, and another a drug overdose. Of the four bodies recovered at
the convention center, three had died of natural causes; the fourth had
sustained stab wounds."

That Bush didn't start to lose his support with Iraq, but that his
