American College Republication Respond to Suicide Bombers
02:22 Feb 04, '04
The College Republicans at Texas are encouraging students to wear shirts that read, "If I were a Homicide Bomber you'd be dead right now. Do not let terrorists deter democracy! Support America. Support Israel."
The T-shirts, which the College Republicans created and are selling on their website, http://studentorgs.utexas.edu/cr are in response to the on-going terrorist attacks around the world.
Bryan Pravda, Executive Director of Public Relations for the College Republicans at Texas, said, "We are wearing these shirts in classrooms, on buses, and in local coffee shops. The aim of the message is for people to appreciate the freedom in which they are living." Pravda continued, "Both America and Israel want peace, but the war on terror is necessary so citizens do not have
to live in fear."
Brian Bodine, Chairman of the College Republicans at Texas, asserted, "Freedom and liberty should not have to be attributed to the Republican Party or the Democrat Party. However, President Bush is the only leader [out of the Presidential candidates] firmly defending these inalienable rights."
Pravda stated, "Gruesome and horrific murders targeted at the innocent in Israel, America, Turkey, Iraq, and other allies of freedom, have called us into action in creating these shirts. Some say that our shirts are offensive, but I find silence in the face of terror a greater offense." |

I want a shirt that says "If we stop supporting Israel, we would of probably never gotten 9/11. Never forget the USS Liberty or Rachel Corrie!" and would have a picture of kids with rocks against tanks :( |

Even if that were true, it's implying that the USA should submit to terrorist demands. I'm sure we're all smart enough to see the flaw in that logic.
I'd also prefer a shirt with slightly better grammar. :p |

What's there to remember about the liberty? A communication error sent the ship to within 14 miles of the Sinai contrary to the Navy/NSA orders to the Liberty to not approach less than 100 miles. The US alerted Israel that it had no ships within hundreds of miles from the battle front. NSA recordings of radio transmissions between israeli pilots, released in 2003, confirm the theory of mistaken identity. |
