Liberalism isnt about politics. It's a mindset. That mindset is at play here in this magazines decision to post bomber boy's pic. Its VERY relevent to the discussion.
Rolling Stone has ALWAYS been heavily into politics since its inception.
Like Playboy some only look at the pics by saying they read the articles.....I gave Rolling Stone up about 20 years ago, their politics get in my way of reading about Rock Stars!
Gilmore then tries to get Dylan to say if he votes. Dylan won't, though he is browbeaten into a generic public service announcement declaration that "We live in a democracy. What do you want me to say? Voting is a good thing."
Then Gilmore gets more direct: what does Dylan think of Obama? Dylan first deflects with: "You should be asking his wife what she thinks of him."
I won't read the magazine again, not even if the choice is that or Knitting World at my dentists office.
Tired of people creating petitions and encouraging boycotts and blah blah blah.
Rolling Stone is making an interesting statement. People who knew the attacker saw him as the epitome of normal. But he was secretly a monster. How terrifying, and what a great story, and what a picture worth a thousand words.
Different era, no comparison. Manson was a crazy loon, who enthralled young girls with sex and drugs. All part of the culture back then. They killed Sharon Tate, hardly the same scale as maiming dozens of people, for life. Putting an entire city in fear, stealing away the security people felt about attending an innocent, community activity.
This guy wraps up all of our prejuidices about foreign students, he has no doubt, created more issues for other foreign students. He is a terrorist, and should not be afforded any status. Or do you want some copy cat crimes?
My opinion, he is a terrorist, no trial, straight to Gitmo. Get the water board.
I'm glad so many stores are pulling the rag from their shelves, and so many musicians are speaking up in disgust.
