They are technically our Korans, so we can abuse them if we want...

[Obamarama]

That is the line of logic that was proffered by one wing-nut dingbat in a LTTE in my local newspaper, The Kalamazoo Gazette. (I'm drafting a response to this letter this evening and hope it gets published.)

FED UP WITH QURAN COMPLAINTS
by Ann Cunningham, Plainwell (MI)

I am wondering if I am the only person fed up with the prisoners at Guantanamo complaining about their Quran being abused? Would someone PLEASE remind them that we, the United States, bought and paid for the books, therefore they are ours. Does this woman even realize how twisted that logic is?


But wait...it gets worse. The full text of the painfully ignorant letter can be read here: http://www.mlive.com/news/kzgazette/index.ssf?/base/columns-1/1119367351106660.xml

1. Looks like I need to purchase an American flag to burn in her

front yard. After all, once I buy it, it's mine. Maybe I'll throw a Bible or two on the pyre as well..

[ComerPerro]

7. I thought the exact same thing. "It's my flag. It's my Bible"

I can do with it what I want.

[spindoctor]

2. She probably bought a Dixie Chick album just so she could burn it

Some people are simply beyond reason.

Every village needs an idiot. Some small town in Texas needs a replacement.

[Tux]

3. By that logic

The federal gov can abuse Bible, Torah, Jefferson Bible (given to new Congress), etc since those are provided for the troops. They belong to us so we can shit, piss, and do whatever else we want. Don't like it, stop your bitching. It's ours and we can do as we please with them.

[The Doctor.]

4. Sad, really...

But most people don't have the wherewithall to try to understand that this administration wants more terrorists out there so they have something to fight.

She also has bought into the notion that all the prisoners at these facilities are guilty until proven innocent... and since they're guilty - Why waste time proving their innocence?

[Ravy]

5. Remind her of the flag burning amendment being discussed (n/t)

[Kraklen]

6. Ah, yes. "She's my wife, I can have sex with her anytime I want,"

logic.

[stopbush]

8. Dontcha love how these a-holes are always "reminding" us

of "the truth?" Like here:

"Would someone also remind them that they are terrorists. Since when do terrorists have rights?"

So, is she telling us that those Gitmo prisoners who were released are terrorists? OMG! GW is releasing known terrorists!!!

[ComerPerro]

9. Good catch. Bush is releasing known terrorists!

[damntexdem]

10. So if I buy a Bible, and then desecrate it in public, ...

this wingnut will have no objection?
