#1 What is it with the Left's inability to separate fiction from reality? They think fiction is real and reality is a fictional story.

#2 How about you tell the true story. You know, the one leftist lunatics such as yourself are trying to hide. The story of an anti-American, Jew-hating moron who got herself killed trying to protect a smuggling tunnel used by savages who blow up buses and shoot little girls.

That's the story here. Why are you trying to hide it?

#3 Seattle Pseudo Intelligence. Rachel's message. Right. The dementia runs deep in that neck of the woods. Let them run their little play and make-believe they're deep and relevant. Humor them - and call the Vet to dump meds into the water supply.

#4 Maybe a CW song would help.......

"Mammas, don't let yer babies grow up to be CAT track grease...., Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks. Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mama don't let your babies grow up to be CAT track grease. They'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love."

#5 When I was a kid, I wanted to be a CAT operator. One of these kiddie dreams that never got realized.... ;-)

Well, no big, I'll find another way! ;-)

#6 When I spoke with Craig and Cindy Corrie a few weeks ago, they'd just come back home to the Seattle area after a rattling episode. In the Middle East, Palestinian activists had tried to kidnap them. The activists had a change of heart when they were told the couple's last name. If that is not a powerful testament to Rachel's legacy, I don't know what is.

What a legacy; she has made PA controlled areas almost safe for people named Corrie. Brilliant. Anyone else would have been toast, but with their little angel next to them, her parents were barely kidnapped at all. Who says she stood for nothing larger than herself?

#7 Seattle official Cindi Laws learned this the hard way. She made remarks that were considered anti-Semitic during a re-election bid for the monorail board, and people howled. Laws lost.

And remember what happened in 2004? The local Middle Eastern community tried to get pro-Palestinian language in the plank of the King County Democratic Party platform. Again, people howled. The language got nixed.

In both instances, the message was clear: Don't mess with us.

The unease surrounding Rachel makes me wonder if she hits too close to home.

huh? is this a-hole basically saying that Jews exert too much control? Isn't this just a SLIGHT case of conspiracy mongering?

Isn't it possible that the woman's comments WERE antisemitic? And wtf is pro palestinian language doing on a domestic party platform?!?!!?

Wow

#8 I liked her better when she was serving the coffee at Central Perk. The skirts were pretty hot, ya know. And the hair was almost as seminal as Farrah's from back in the day, ya know?

#9 I live in NYC and if that stupid play ever does get put on, we should organize outside the theatre. We should have signs that say things like:

Rachel Corrie was simply a useful idiot. Learn the facts

or

Learn about the true ISM agenda

We should have website urls and handouts to share.

We should turn this production to our advantage, as an opportunity to inform and educate without alienating.

#10 I wonder if the columnist would be even remotely interested in telling the stories of other Rachels?

May God have mercy on Rachel Levy, Rachel Thaler, Rachel Levi, Rachel Gavish, Rachel Charhi and Rachel Shabo.

#11 DB those Rachel's were killed by the peace loving Paleos and not the war mongering Jews, so they don't count. Great link!

#12 Just attend the opening and applaud like crazy when she gets D-9'd.

#13 Oooooh, overwrought prose! 2b, here is your other pattern, should that job with 60 Minutes fall through! ;-)

#15 Rachel's story needs to be told, now

Perhaps, but the plot line tends to fall a bit flat.

#17 Well if Rachel Coorie would have cared about suffering people instead being a rich girl poseur he would have cared for the victims of islamism in Aghanistan or Soudan. There was real suffering but she didn't care. She was quite simply despicable.

Buy Caterpillar shares.

#19 If you are going to picket outside of theaters showing the St. Pancake play, THAT PICTURE of Rachel Corrie needs to be on the picket sign. It tells the whole story: women filled with hate, burning flags, setting an example in front of little kids. What a maroon. Useless dead idiot.

#20 The last chapter in Witch Rachel's story is being written. As I write, Pale terrorists are hunting down the same useful idiots who protect them. Her Stupidness would have been picked up in the roundup.
