Tancredo voicing views of public, radio host says

His remarks about retaliation on Mecca have ignited debate
By M.E. Sprengelmeyer

WASHINGTON - Back when Pat Campbell was a math teacher, he never imagined he'd see his name in Pravda, Al Jazeera and media outlets around the globe.

That's what happened this week, when the self-made radio talk show host in Florida guided U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo into some dicey talk about deterring terrorism that triggered an international backlash.

Griego: Tancredo peddles fear as bold pragmatism

Tom Tancredo is to columnists as manna was to the Israelites. A gift from God. So outlandish has he become.

Unfortunately, there is nothing sustaining or nourishing about what Tancredo has to say. This does not keep us from writing and him from making headlines for comments condemned internationally as inflammatory, misguided and irresponsible


And check out this little gem from Today's Washington Post...


Al-Abdullah, the Kuwaiti political scientist, put some blame on the way the question was put to the congressman. "These imaginary 'what if' questions are endless," he said.

JB, war is hell. You do realize we are at war. At war with an enemy that dresses like innocent people. But if you really want to save innocent lives, why don't you rally against abortion, or drunk drivers ... betcha we lose more people that way than in the terror stuff!

No, JB, we are NOT at war with a country. We are at war with a terrorist idiology. The enemy has no country and wears no uniform. They do no adheare to any rules of warefare (the Geneva Convention) and think nothing of killing non-combatants in the name of whatever they decide is something to justify their actions. Go search the web and find a total of innocent civilians that the terrorist have killed in the last, say, 20 years. It is obvious from your retoric that you are just a Bush hater and, like the terrorists, will justify anything if it makes your point.
