T-Shirt Barred From Flight

Amy Goodman didn't go to Egypt because she was afraid Far Rosen would make fun of her if she got raped.

Amy Goodman was hoping to make this about "authorities" and Racial profiling. Alison's not that easily manipulated. Amy uses the word "authorities" several times. Alison brings it back to what's real. It was the passengers who felt uneasy with this guy on their flight, not the "authorities". "People's political views do not incriminate them". True, but in the year 2006, and two days after a foiled terrorist attempt over the Atlantic, a passenger is permitted approach the "authorities".

If Amy Goodman had children to put on an airplane, she wouldn't be so open minded about airport security.

Airplanes were not intended for paranoid redneck fuckwits, like some of the commenters here. Stay in Alabama.

Let Wing Nut Jobs! Boo-Who you bed wetting liberals. Why doesn't this Muslim go to the Gaza Strip so the IDF can send him to paradise.

No, I am not scared of a language, but of people who speak that language and never denounced the attacks of 9/11 or other attacks in other places. And, yes, brainwash works. Especially when you hear the same message 5 times a day.

[brike2001]

Besides, I have never seen ANY Arab speaking against terrorism anywhere publicly.

[brike2001]

I would feel very uncomfortable with someone with messages written in Arabic on their T-Shirt. I remember T. McVeigh, but I also know that except for him and the unabomber, all terrorists spoke Arabic.

[jamstrat]

are you joking?? they've got you scared of language, shit I guess the brainwashing really does work

[brike2001]

No. I am scared of those who speak that language and say nothing against terrorism. And, yes, brainwashing really works. Especially when you hear the same message 5 times a day.

The Ron Paul Revolution. I see I.C.E in the future, lots of it

[facezy]

The US has turned into a paranoid society.

[CavemanSynthesizer]

It's funny suppression of free-speech is acceptable as long as its not done by government and/or it is an implicit and not explicit(codified) policy. It's all about degrees. I used to question whether our rights were "really" being taken away because of this, but it's like being cooked in hot water, you don't know you're being boiled if its slow enough.

Airliners are private organizations. So if you own a restaurant, would you serve a patron who has a T-Shirt that read "ALL LIBERALS MUST HANG"?

[CavemanSynthesizer]

"How are "innocent" and "making a political point" mutually exclusive."

You see if you make a political point against this administration you are causing trouble, because you should know that your political point is going to make people upset. So you should shut up if you think that your point will upset someone - at least that is the logic.

[fakegjfkler]

How are "innocent" and "making a political point" mutually exclusive?? wtf is wrong with your country, guys?! Huzzah for Amy Goodman - the world needs more journalists with integrity.

[existenceisrelative]

Yaaay! Amy Goodman is my hero!!
