NP - Idiocy Watch Vote

[David Morris]

http://www.thenewrepublic.com/IdiocyPoll2_page.html

For the past two months, Idiocy Watch has been our attempt to keep up with 
all the dumb and outrageous things said about America and the terrorists. 
For the final installment, we invite readers to vote for the comment they 
consider to be the dumbest and most outrageous to date. Below are nine 
nominees that we think are exceptionally worthy of consideration. We'll 
announce the winner in a few days.

[Here's the most Millisonian one]:
"It may have seemed meaningless at the time, but now we know why 7,000 
people sacrificed their lives: So that we'd all forget how Bush stole a 
presidential election."
--Cartoonist Ted Rall, Philadelphia City Paper, September 27

[Or maybe this one]:
"In a war on Afghanistan, Osama bin Laden will either be left alive, while 
thousands of impoverished, frightened people are bombed into oblivion around 
him, or he will be killed in a bombing attack for which he seems quite 
prepared. But what would happen to his cool armor if he could be reminded of 
all the good, nonviolent things he has done? Further, what would happen to 
him if he could be brought to understand the preciousness of the lives he 
has destroyed? I firmly believe the only punishment that works is love."
--Alice Walker, The Village Voice, October 9 issue
