Family Member Of 9/11 Victim Beautifully Explains Why The Intolerant Are Wrong

[1tonykirk]

Though beautifully expressed, it is a shame her sentiments still include the myth of 19 h* j*ckers. 9 of them never left home and are still alive.

Beverly Eckert (The Steering Committee)asked Obama to re open the investigation

shortly after his inauguration, she died in a very suspicious air crash two weeks later.

look up "PatriotsQuestion911", it is just the tip of an Iceberg.

[NewYorkCityUSA7]

@1tonykirk People like you keep stupidity alive....thanks...

[jerryjamify]

America is a republic not a democracy . In a democracy majority rules, in the Republic the law(constitution) rules the people. The majority can force anything on the manority. thy used to have to manipule and put themselve at risk for abusing our rights, now they just do it, and yawn

[ninuxy]

@jerryjamify And the fucking majority amends constitution. We are a democratic republic.

[racookster]

She's terrific!

[fergi2610]

im neither a muslim, nor do i live in america, but from a lot of research I've done peaceful muslims (i.e. the majority) think America is great as they have the freedom to practice their religion without fear of persecution. 9/11 has done about as much damage to the muslim community as it has the american one

[jrwnlp]

Now I will comment on the Mosque site. I do agree that the Cordoba Initiative has every legal right to build at the current site, but let me ask Donna Marsh O'Connor at what point do we say enough is enough. I do believe in religious tolerance, that is one of the main reason our founding fathers left Enland....Religious persecution. One day Sharia Law will be on the table. I know not every Muslim practices Sharia Law ,but at what point do we as a country say ok now you are going to far. PTA

[HellcowTUU]

@jrwnlp I would make a fair bet that the majority of Muslims who DON'T practice it live in America, and that they do so because we're a nation founded with the freedoms and resposibilites enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Your mildly forboding comment is a distraction. No matter how strict a practice any Muslim in this country follows personally, no forced religious view will ever be legal here. The very document which inspires our acceptance (some say weakness) is also our greatest strength.

[28g34ajbsd]

@jrwnlp Dude, there's about 7 million American Muslims, of which 6,000,900 you really got nothing to worry about. There's about 70 million evangelist Christians, on the other hand, at least 35 million of which strongly believe America is based on Christian laws and the Ten Commandments (which of the three Top 10 variants in the scriptures it varies from Dominionist cult to Dominionist sect). I'd be infinitely more worried about them, dude.

[GabriellaEgypt]

@jrwnlp  I'm a Muslim American and I strongly disagree. Islam has been in America since its founding. If 'Sharia Law' was going to be in place in America it would have happened a LONG time ago. It isn't even the norm in most "Islamic countries"....someone is feeding everyone a line of crap. Just my opinion.

Peace.

[AceofDiamonds0]

@jrwnlp

yes one day sharia law will try to be passed in america, but a long time ago this country decided to not pass any laws based on any religions, i think it was the founding fathers who put down that rule. our religious freedom is exactly what is stopping muslims from taking over (or any religion from taking over, for that matter)

[jrwnlp]

At what point does genocide become a concern. Do we have to kill millions before it becomes enough. Regaurdless of the reason we went to Iraq, we neeed to go and finish what Bush Ser. left. Innocence is worth figthing for. It is just to bad so a many had to die before we finally did something about it. Remember the motto of Special Forces - De Oppresso Liber....which is latin for "To Free the Oppressed." That is exactly what we did.

[28g34ajbsd]

@jrwnlp Woohoo. Four million are liberated from their homes. Unspecified millions are liberated from their jobs and livelihood. A million so far have been liberated from their lives. Is that the "innocence" "worth fighting for" you were talking about just now? Hey, here's an inspiring quote for ya. Bombing for peace is like raping for virginity.

[asbeautifulasasunset]

@28g34ajbsd @28g34ajbsd @28g34ajbsd that was well said. Takes critical (not sheep/conformist) thinking and/or reading to grasp that condensation. Ignorance and denial perpetuate the nightmare we're all living (and too many are still dying from). Founding fathers did not want to live through war-torn countries like Europe - that's why they put in U.S. constitution that we can't have a standing army for longer two years.

[jrwnlp]

But what this rhetoric does not reflect is that, until 1991, Saddam Hussein was allowed to commit his atrocities with the full support of the U.S. government. The specifics of the al-Anfal Campaign were no mystery to the Reagan administration, but the decision was made to support the genocidal Iraqi government over the pro-Soviet theocracy of Iran, even to the point of making ourselves complicit in crimes against humanity. What nerve to say we had no reason to invade Iraq. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

He was a monster, a butcher, a brutal tyrant, a genocidal racist--he was all of this, and more. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

Although most of Hussein's large-scale atrocities took place during the 1980s and early 1990s, his tenure was also characterized by day-to-day atrocities that attracted less notice. Wartime rhetoric regarding Hussein's "rape rooms," death by torture, decisions to slaughter the children of political enemies, and the casual machine-gunning of peaceful protesters accurately reflected the day-to-day policies of Saddam Hussein's regime. Hussein was no misunderstood despotic "madman." Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

The Post-Uprising Massacres of 1991 - In the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, the United States encouraged Kurds and Shiites to rebel against Hussein's regime--then withdrew and refused to support them, leaving an unknown number to be slaughtered. At one point, Hussein's regime killed as many as 2,000 suspected Kurdish rebels every day. Some two million Kurds hazarded the dangerous trek through the mountains to Iran and Turkey, hundreds of thousands dying in the process. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

It is unknown how much of this population drop can be attributed to direct starvation and how much to migration, but the human cost was unquestionably high. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

The Campaign Against the Marsh Arabs - Hussein did not limit his genocide to identifiably Kurdish groups; he also targeted the predominantly Shiite Marsh Arabs of southeastern Iraq, the direct descendants of the ancient Mesopotamians. By destroying more than 95% of the region's marshes, he effectively depleted its food supply and destroyed the entire millennia-old culture, reducing the number of Marsh Arabs from 250,000 to approximately 30,000. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

Hussein later blamed the attacks on the Iranians, and the Reagan administration, which supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War, helped promote this cover story. Continue.......

[jrwnlp]

The al-Anfal Campaign- The worst human rights abuses of Hussein's tenure took place during the genocidal al-Anfal Campaign (1986-1989), in which Hussein's administration called for the extermination of every living thing--human or animal--in certain regions of the Kurdish north. All told, some 182,000 people--men, women, and children--were slaughtered, many through use of chemical weapons. The Halabja poison gas massacre of 1988 alone killed over 5,000 people. Continue.....

[jrwnlp]

The Barzani Clan Abductions of 1983 - Masoud Barzani led the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), an ethnic Kurdish revolutionary group fighting Baathist oppression. After Barzani cast his lot with the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War, Hussein had some 8,000 members of Barzani's clan, including hundreds of women and children, abducted. It is assumed that most were slaughtered; thousands have been discovered in mass graves in southern Iraq. Continue......

[jrwnlp]

The Dujail Massacre of 1982 - In July of 1982, several Shiite militants attempted to assassinate Saddam Hussein while he was riding through the city. Hussein responded by ordering the slaughter of some 148 residents, including dozens of children. Continue......

[jrwnlp]

The Baath Party was dominated by Sunni Muslims, who made up only about one-third of Iraq's general population; the other two-thirds was made up of Shiite Muslims, Shiism also happening to be the official religion of Iran. Throughout Hussein's tenure, and especially during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), he saw the marginalization and eventual elimination of Shiism as a necessary goal in the Arabization process, by which Iraq would purge itself of all perceived Iranian influence. Continue....

[jrwnlp]

The two dominant ethnicities of Iraq have traditionally been Arabs in south and central Iraq, and Kurds in the north and northeast, particularly along the Iranian border. Hussein long viewed ethnic Kurds as a long-term threat to Iraq's survival, and the oppression and extermination of the Kurds was one of his administration's highest priorities. Continue..............

[jrwnlp]

I am someone who believes in lets move on and let us show the world why we are the greatest country in the world, but I could care less that we invaded Iraq. What a lot of people seem to forget is what we left behind in Iraq during the first Middle East Conflict. Saddam was commiting genocide "Ethnic Cleansing". Let me refresh your memories. Continue.........

[crait]

You can't combat prejudice with prejudice. You have to fight it with freedom.

[mrquiet2009]

This woman, in both her eloquence and her power, is absolutely wonderful. She is leaving her children a legacy of love and compassion.

[isawanangel2]

i guess we're gonna find out whose disgusting aren't we?

[sage0857]

she just stuck it up the RepubliCUNTs ass and broke it off.

[rriverstone1]

@sage0857 How in the WORLD does using female genitalia as a slur and epithet advance your argument? You have just insulted over half the population, for NOTHING!

[debunkingdebunkers]

0:28 "Why our govt did one thing or another"? Yeah, she knows the govt had something to do with it.

[GTR66960]

"Democracies live in peoples actions not in their entitlements" Touching words. Notice how no conseratives commented on this video.

[ThereIsCake]

No wonder Glenn Beck Says he hates the 911 relatives that appear on TV, they show him up as the hate filled lying piece of anti-American filth he really is.

[ineedsacoke]

FOOLS

[uncoolnerd]

and yet tea baggers and "patriotic" republicans will pretend that they know better than people who have actually lost family members. Sick fucks. The things they do under the guise of being a patriot

[cne08]

I'm shocke that Fake News hasn't called this lady a terrorist sympathizer.

[2DRonaldo]

The Nazi fuckwits can't use the Victims of 9/11 don't want the Mosque excuse anymore.

[biggydx]

That quote should be put in the history books.

[thesidewinder39]

Absolutely amazing Woman, and lets give credit to Olbermann for having her on and NOT interrupting her once. Lets give credit to him for listening like a journalist should.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@thesidewinder39 She's an absolutely amazing actress:  /watch?v=6aPvJSQtmoE

[KDALove]

It's a shame Fox News doesn't report on this.

[geffel]

What an amazing, intelligent, thoughtful woman.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@geffel ...and donna's an incredible liar: /watch?v=6aPvJSQtmoE

[vamsisur]

i agree

[nopwib5]

someone who gets it ...and who wouldnt get it really no justice no peace no tolerance no peace..we are still fighting for you Donna.. we will never give up..911 Truth..911 Truth Doctrine 2+2=4

[joeshmo156]

This is one of the only videos I watched over again just to take in its full meaning and complete wonderful truth and message.

[scottnsanfran]

Wow, this women is stunning. Reminds me of that Benjamin Franklin quote at the end of the Constitution Convention of 1787.  " Dr. what is it a Monarchy or Republic? A republic, if you can keep it."

[MrROLLO70]

Calm, cool, and collected is how this lady stated her case. Great job Donna!

[PeacemakerShaun1011]

Well said

[PeaceFroggs]

"Democracies live in peoples actions not in their entitlements" WOW! Powerful, Powerful stuff. Love her.

[CaligirlSofia]

@PeaceFroggs

yes she is such a beautiful woman:)

[bohemianwriter1]

That's how USA is breeding home grown terrorists: Estranging kids from a young age, ostracising them, making them feel as if they have no identity, pushing them into the extremism.

To quote Mike Gravel: When will we learn, when will we learn?

[ToeInspector]

Amazing woman , gives me a little faith in humanity.

[RacistTeaBaggers]

 @capt777737

[AbyssCrown]

Everything she said is what I've been saying. Not once did I disagree with her when she was talking.

[MrMadaicseason]

wonder why Faux Noise isn't rushing to get her on their airwaves...maybe it doesn't promote their agenda....

[MrBennetzen]

@MrMadaicseason Or maybe we should ask Rupert Murdoch about this!

[ToddServo]

@MrMadaicseason more than likely because her statement isn't filled with hateful and intolerant rhetoric and no boogey-man words like "socialism" or "communism".

[philateliceun]

she is like the real live sarah connor.

[abs1886don]

this women is my hero.

[FlowerClown]

This is an election year media blitz thanks to FOX noise.

America grow up and get a little common sense.

Thank You Donna

[LouieArrighi]

beautifully spoken is an understatement.

[aAshleyb]

well said.

peace.

[Fringe111]

This woman and all the 911 families are who we should be listening to. Not the politicians who really don't give a dame about them or the hate mongers. Listen to what she had to say again and think.

[MyRiseToHonor]

I wonder how many other 911 families feel like this honorable woman feels, but won't go on TV and say so. It takes courage to do what she did here, specifically with everything going on.

[JimisJames]

wow. this woman is a trooper

[frodoondabass]

Eloquent is the word!

[PhilipPorter]

Is this woman a member of one of those 911 victims families that Glenn Beck hates?

[MagikalKraker]

@PhilipPorter if she wasn't, she is now...

[bleunt]

O'reilly should have her on.

[PsychoCheese1337]

I don't know...I like picking old scabs open...

[MarmaladeINFP]

She speaks truth.

[Yemilady]

Wow, truly overwhelming.

[classc63]

AMEN SISTA!!!! AMEN!!!!!

[halflifeproductionz]

islamophobia is real if you don't believe that shit go listen to michael dickhead wiener!

[MrMadaicseason]

@halflifeproductionz yeah, Savage makes a BUNCH of sense...hehe

[inmyforties]

[Tatchko]

Amen sister.

[Newssnoop]

"Well said."

[jesskat]

we would be wise to listen to her, also what was that weird yellow thing in the background?

[kaysandesses]

@jesskat That weird yellow thing in the background is the Republican Party.

[ridgetownpimp]

"Democracy lives in our actions, not in our entitlements" What a great quote.

[ChiefDen4]

That woman is a BAMF

[dioseolo]

Thr right wing just got PWNED.
