"It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell"

You can't make this shit up!


Magazine ad "unleashes hell" for Boeing and Bell

"It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell," reads the ad, which ran this week in the National Journal and earlier in the Armed Forces Journal. The ad also stated: "Consider it a gift from above."

The ad appears at a time when the United States is trying to improve its image in the Muslim world and Boeing seeks to sell its airplanes to Islamic countries.

The company statements were released yesterday in response to an outcry from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based Islamic civil-liberties group. The building depicted in the ad has an Arabic sign that translates as "Muhammad Mosque," according to the council.

The ad may deepen concern overseas that the war on extremists is a war on Islam, said Corey Saylor, the council's government-affairs director. "This can be used by the extremists to reinforce that — and we certainly don't want that," he said.

But due to an error, the National Journal mistakenly published the ad this week.

2. How many people have made racist comments recently?

We have * speaking in biblical code to the fundies and claiming we are on a "crusade" in the "War on Terror".

Barbara Bush speaking on camera about how great it is in Texas for the poverty stricken Katrina victims.

Bill Bennett claiming the crime rate would decrease if blacks had abortions.
