Nope, .....I really don't see a pattern here to justify
profiling, do you?

So, to ensure Americans never offend anyone, particularly
fanatics intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to
profile certain people. They must conduct random searches
of 80-year-old women,
little kids, airline pilots with proper identification,
secret agents who are
members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal
hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe
Foss, but leave
Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of
profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the
Gloria Aldreds and
other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices
that want to thwart
common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they
have any such
sense.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so
aptly put it,
"Stupid is as stupid does."

1. This is goign the rounds

Someone posted this last week. It's the Muslim Menace Meme. Those among us who hate Muslims and want to see the war in Terror turn into a war on Islam have seen their chance after the London bombings and are turning the rhetoric up a notch. I don't know how effective such rhetoric is turning out to be though.

5. Hey, if the Boobies in London have been ordered to

"shoot to kill" on suspicion, then I think several notches have been "upped". I am sending all of my Middle Eastern (and Indian) friends coupons for skin whitening products - it might just be what keeps them from getting their heads blown off. If they look white enough, maybe they will have the chance to prove their innocence first...maybe...

[Tsiyu]

27. Don't leave out your South American friends

They shot a Brazilian in London. Just for failing to be pasty white.

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Its making the rounds, i just got it too

[YOY]

3. H-yuk, H-yuk, H-yuk

"Wake up white peeple!!! Th' Klans a recrootin!"

:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[King Coal]

4. Help me with a "Reply to all with History"

1. Well, I guess we should stop pissing all the Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.

2. Hey Stupid, stupids are you!

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. This went around about a year ago

and a couple DUers came up with some great parodies. Wish I had saved them.

[TXlib]

25. In order to fully stop pissing off all the Muslim male extremists

we would all have to lie down and die.

As long as the Muslim male extremists are interested in killing us, I'd rather see them die than us.

Obviously, I'd like to see us address the roots of the problem, to the extent it is realistic and reasonable to do so; we are not blameless. However, to assume if we simply adopted an international attitude of isolationism they would stop attacking is unrealistic.

[RubyDuby in GA]

6. "if they have any such sense"

Kinda funny because the morans this is intended to stir up couldn't tell you a damn thing about any of those situations in history.

[King Coal]

7. That's good, Ruby.

[BiggJawn]

8. Olympic Park bombing?

White guy did it.

Woman's clinic bombings?
White guy did it. SAME white guy, as a matter of fact.

OKC Federal building bombing?
White guy did it.

Anthrax letters?
They don't know. They can't FIND the guy.
probably a white guy.

Fake anthrax letters to Planned Parenthood?
White guy did it.

I'm sure there's more....I just pulled these out of my ass.

[King Coal]

11. Thanks, BiggJawn.

Not bad for whence the dark side cometh they.

[Rainbowreflect]

16. JFK, MLK & the Uni-bomber.

[YOY]

17. and the kook that tried to take down their precious Reagan

[BiggJawn]

18. You mean the son of a Bush "FRIEND OF THE FAMILY"?

What's the chances of THAT happening randomly? "Oh, the kid who shot the president? Why, his folks just happen to be friends of one of the Vice-President's SONS....."

Yeah, white guy...

Oh-Hitler? White guy....

[TNDemo]

9. I always reply to these by asking why we are trying to free them then.

If they are the bad guys why are our guys dying to bring them democracy? At least that is what they say we are there for.

[Vogon_Glory]

10. Stupid IS As Stupid Does

These guys are definitely fools. The big light bulbs who thought up this "clever" little message have clearly failed to ask themselves what their alleged perpetrators look like.

What DO Muslim males look like? As we've seen by reading even the slightest bit of recent news, there's quite a variation. There are Bantu-descended African Muslim males, sterotypical darker Arabs like the Saudis and some of the Iraqis, East Asian Muslim males like the ones in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and populations of light-skinned, brown-haired Muslim males like the ones found in parts of Syria and Lebanon as well as the Caucasus who look "Amurrican" enough to drop into a Klan rally (At least until they start trying to make conversation).

Some of the latter are blondes, too. How are you going to screen for those by ethnicity? Ask them to drop their drawers so you can examine their pee-pees? Most American males are circumcized anyway.

There's no reason why would-be suicide bombers have to be male. As some Chechen and Palestinian women have demonstrated, suicide bombers can be female as well.

After reading that article about the interview with Mohammed Atta's dear old dad at the CNN web site, I don't see that age is necessarily a barrier for some hateful old S.O.B. to blow himself up if he still has the vigor to carry an explosives vest and dexterity enough to activate the trigger.


Clearly a chain e-male written by dunderheads for dunderheads.

[King Coal]

13. Beauty Post. I sure love DU.

[Vogon_Glory]

15. Thanks.

As one of DU's grouchier, more centrist-minded posters, I appreciate compliments. Thank you.

The irony is that I do favor profiling. But as the Israelis have successfully done, profile by behavior, not by looks. The point I'm trying to make that right-wing wingnut/dingbats will clearly overlook is that looks can be very deceiving.

Oh, if you want to have some mischievous fun, feel free to send part of my post back to the cherubs who sent you that tom-fool e-mail to begin with. That'll give them some indigestion. :evilgrin: :bounce:

[LibDemAlways]

12. 14. In 1995 the Murrah Federal Building

in Oklahoma City was bombed by:

15. The 1996 Olympics Park bomber was:

16. President Gerald Ford was the target of two assassination attempts both perpetrated by:

17. Lee Harvey Oswald, arrested in Dallas for the murder of John F. Kennedy, was:

18. Theodore Kasczinski, the "unibomber," was:

Guess whoever put that quiz together left a few questions out.

[Walt Starr]

14. Ah Geez, Not This Shit Again

Selective illustration. If all examples of terrorism were used in the email, all groups would have to be targeted as potential terrorists.

They left out Oswald (WASP), McVeigh (WASP), the IRA (Catholic extremists), etc.

[LynzM]

19. A good reply previously posted:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4245771&mesg_id=4246321

[ComerPerro]

20. So who shot John F Kennedy? Who bombed Oklahoma City? Atlanta?

Just curious.

This has been going around for a while.

To me, people who say shit like this aren't really concerned about security. They are just racists who don't want to be bothered with the security measures they insist on.

"Do it to them, not me".

Its asinine

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. It's also pretty ignorant

Says more about the people sending it around than it says about Muslim extremists between the ages of 17 and 40, IMO.

Hey Comer :hi:
How goes it?

[ComerPerro]

23. Nice picture

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Oh you mean the Scary Potter?

Nice and colorful, ain't it?

[deadparrot]

26. Don't forget James Earl Ray.

And John Hinkley. The Unabomber.

Delve deeper into American history. Lincoln's assassination, etc.

[Bluebear]

28. "Olga Corbett" Hahahahahahahahaha

[KamaAina]

29. and "Jay Lenno" and "Wiley E. Coyote"

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
