What is your race that it gets bashed all the time?

JohnMcCain2008 posts a lot of insightful truth into our current situation - sometimes he phrases it in very strong language, and sometimes he makes outlandish statements. Sometimes he pushes the envelope and perhaps even goes a little too far, but I do not think that he should be banned. At the most, perhaps that post should be censored. He CERTAINLY should not "owe all muslims an apology"! Good grief. He's entitled to his beliefs, and a forced apology is the insincere type like you are forced to give sometimes when you're a child.

And not all of his posts are "hateful".

P.S. My beliefs and my race get bashed all the time, all over the place... get used to it. That's life.

My Reply:
Perhaps, we are not reading the same information then, as far as I can tell, JohnMcCain2008 posts nothing but negative, demeaning, demoralizing information about Obama, Liberals and now Muslims that has no insightful truth as you say. I'ts completely nonsense! Why not post information that is left upto the reader to decide if it's right or wrong. I came to this site to learn about American politics and gain a better understanding of how things are working, but after engaging with users I find it rather disappointing that is this all CZ has to offer. I don't believe that JohnMcCain2008 is out to spread the truth, and sure he is entitled to his opinion, but this time he crossed the line and action needs to be taken. Also, you are wrong as well. What if I said, all Christians are lying bastards and not be trusted, how would you feel? Would you still say, O'h, it's your opinion and you are entitiled to it, yeah right! Especially, if you had known that I was a Muslim, right? So, put yourself in my shoes and try to see the other persons perspective before you come to a conclusion. And lastly, I am not forcing anything on him, but merely stating what he can do if he really is a true Christian, I don't think your Bible teaches one to be hateful towards others does it? I certainly hope not. Become Christ like and this world will become a better place. Take responsibility for your actions rather than getting used to it. It's wrong! He should have never made a statement like that. You get used to that.

I am sorry you were hurt, I really am.

With free speach there will be rude things printed/said about Muslims,Jews, Christians etc.. Its just the way free speech works when there are people out there with "opinions." Someone out there may dislike what they don't understand or agree with and so since we have our free speech rude, upsetting stuff will be said about our faith belief whatever it may be. I see my beliefs being bashed in the media allot and even on this forum.
Its part of freedom of speech to have someone spew out something hurtful and hateful about something you believe deeply with your whole heart. It may not be pleasant at times but it will happen as long as we have free speech. Kind of like it will invariably happen that driving in downtown bumper to bumper traffic will result in someone honking/cutting you off for no reason. I am sorry you were hurt. I think it was said in anger and usually things said in anger are hurtful and wrong. Just understand there are allot of people out here that do not condone the statements that were made. Sounds strange but I don't agree with the words that were said but I agree with the freedom of free speech that allowed the words to be said. Does that make sense? Still it wasn't right or nice and I am sorry you were offended.

Are you surprised? I am who
I am and apologize for little.
Besides, I am not guilty of
what you charge me with. I am
voicing my opinion on the
appropriateness of the rhetoric
which was being used. Something
gives me the ick factor. Besides,
it is not between me and anyone.
This person and the Webmaster
should come to a meeting of minds
and what will be, will be.

I wish you well~~

peace,
Zoe
