The funny thing is that you don't even seem to understand the point of her Facebook post. The point is name recognition. A significant number of people vote for the name that is familiar to them. By "promoting" her, you are helping her.

Personally, I think her stunt is childish at face value, but her stunt will succeed come her next election, and you are helping her.

Actually I have, but it is good to see you agree with me here, generalization is a bad thing and assuming all Muslims are potentially terrorists is generalization.

Yeh.....you're right. If we were just nicer to them and minded our own business, then we wouldn't have problems with muslims. Oh wait, what was that thing about 9/11?

Hornets are always dangerous, but sticking your hand and moving it around in the nest just makes things worse. This isn't about being nicer to extremists, it is about not risking American lives by sending us into places that won't change.

There will always be bad people in the world, just accept that.

But, didn't they come at us first? Even back to the Iranian hostage crisis?

Is all this due the Desert Storm or is it 9/11?

If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same. (See also 8:30 and 10:21)"
This Allah also instructed Noah to build an ark, so he could go about cleansing the world.

Every liberal knows it's Bush's fault. So is the First Barbary War.

Bush was the President but not when we were feeding the snakes that were bound to bite us eventually.
