Is this story related with Starbucks flashlight bomb?

1. Damnit, you know where that came from - Sean Hannity
This is how the media works. Some blowhard who pulls facts from his/her ass makes outrageous statements about HIV suicide bombers. Next thing you know the mainstream media picks this up as legitimate.

I rarely watch network news because it angers me but I was flipping through the channels and caught about 5 minutes of Hannity justifying why we're at war because these people are willing ti use HIV+ suicide bombers in order to kill people and spread AIDS.

I think it's a load of crock.

28. As someone pointed out in another thread
if a person is close enough to get splattered by the blood, they are close enough to be blown up by the bomb anyway.

Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do? Release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark, they shoot bees at you?"

17. Bushbots are cowards. Seriously. Every single person who supports Bush...
... is a whimpering, whining coward at heart. That's a fact.

regressive AIDS policy domestically and abroad.

8. But the real threat
is you could maybe, you know, catch gayness from them!

SARCASM OFF

The only people at risk from HIV suicide bombers are the poor guys who scrape them off the pavement.

13. An HIV positive suicide bomber is not any more of a threat than
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 10:25 AM by Walt Starr
a non-HIV infected suicide bomber.

A suicide bomber infected with an airborne virus would be somewhat more of a threat than a suicide bomber not infected with a deadly airborne virus.

A terrorist who is infected with smallpox or an airborne deadly virus that gets a job as a taxi cab driver servicing a major airport in any major city in the world is a much bigger threat that ten thousand AIDS infected susicide bombers.

14. HIV infected suicide bombers carrying vials of bird flu and pirated DVDs
are the new threat. Plain old HIV-infected suicide bombers are so five minutes ago.

Medieval armies used to lob dead cows and plague-ridden bodies over castle walls as an early form of biological warfare.

18. Amazing
How could anyone take this seriously? Logic says that if you are blown up by a bomb you would be dead and unable to contract HIV from the bomber.

22. The last time this rumor surfaced
it was Palestinians with HIV and Hepatitis. I think finding skanky observant Muslims willing to commit suicide is going to be a real logistical problem.

23. Only if you have sex with them before they strap on the bombs....
Of course, sex with the bombs on would be even more dangerous.

25. You have to let it incubate for a few weeks
to fester real good.

These stories are probably just a substitute for the color threat levels. The fireball of the blast pretty well cooks things anyway.
