#1 Rachel was an unarmed peace activist trying to prevent the demolition of the home of a Palestinian pharmacist, his wife, and three children.

Well, she's certainly unarmed now.

#2 Spake St. Pancake:
I still really want to dance around to Pat Benatar and have boyfriends and make comics for my coworkers.

Do you think she had "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" going through her mind at the time?

#3 If I were her, I'd spend a little more time investigating my child rearing practices.

#4 The panel has investigated and concluded she's *still* dead.

#5 BH-LOL! To that same tune:
Before I put another notch
in my D-9 cage...

#6 As a parent, I sympathize. But, Rachel was baby killer by association. That was her choice. Some with live with poor choices, some die with poor choices.

#7 Yes it's all the fault of the JOOOOSSSS. Poor child rearing = Bad decisiions. Too bad because I bet her and Jihad Johnny would have made a really cute couple.

#8 I'd like to be the heartless one to say to the parents:

you raised a severely f'ed up child with no moral guidance, little value for human life, and a hate for the country that a)taught her freedom and the ability as a woman to be educated, equal and speak out, b) allowed her to travel without approval of her male betters, and c) didn't kill her for burning our flag. In return, your spawn burned the flag spat on the American ideal and the Joooos, helped perpetrate horrendous crimes against children, women and men of Israel (including innocent Israeli arabs). I think the investigation should start at home, and I find you guilty of being absolutely disgusting people who raised a child in your own image. (/rant)

#9 something she wanted to do anyway Interesting observation! I think it entirely possible that she deliberately killed herself after being around death cults so long.

#10 I think the conclusion should be:

A 150lbs woman should not wrestle a 64 Ton D-9.

So Mrs Corrie, what about the innocent women and children who are being deliberately targetted and murdered by your buddies in the PA? Do you and your family every stop to think about them? Do you ever stop to think what their mothers and fathers feel like?

#11 Why do people like Mama and Papa Pancake, who hate this country so much, continue to live here? I should think they'd be a lot more comfortable in Spain, or France, or Greece.

#12 rachel corrie is dead......BIG FUCKING DEAL!! I'm sure ara"fucking"fat really appreciates her worthless sacrifice. What I want to know is; Why don't her sorry ass parents show us an encore of her performance.

#13 Why is this still news? Why do these people still get their "time in the sun"? They've already proven they have a moral IQ somewhere just above the freezing point of water, they've proven their daughter is a fruitcake crumb from the main block, and they've wasted an awful lot of time, energy, newsprint, and just plain space that could be used for better purposes. The best way to handle this mess is to quietly walk away, never turning your back, and getting the he$$ away from these idiots before whatever they have might transfer. Leave them to their misery - they seem to enjoy it. Let's just let them do it in private, and not make a big deal out of it. Because it's not.

#14 Where is that soapbox? Oh, here comes one now. . . To my everlasting sadness, I understand the crushing pain of the loss of your child having experienced it first hand. Words can't explain it to those who haven't experienced it - trust me on this one. After my tour was over I thought I would never cry again. I was wrong. My experience gives me the right to say this - Ma and Pa Pancake fight so hard for the 'rightness' of their daughter's cause because to think otherwise would necessarily mean they failed to teach their child what is important and how to be a decent human. To die for killers and a morally and intellectually bankrupt cause is not noble no matter how many times you say so. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Truth is not relative and does not depend on one's point of view.

After months of concentrated thought, I have developed a process that would have saved her. All together now, 1) Step sideways; 2) do it again. There - Problem solved. pancake had a choice and she chose wrong.

My son never had that choice.

off soapbox

#15 Why don't they get those master detectives from the PLO security forces to check this out for them? At least then they'll get the answers they want to hear. You know, Zionist murderers, Rachel was blameless, blah, blah, blah...

#16 Doc8:

Your pain must be devastating. The death of your child appears, based on your comments, to have been unavoidable, regardless of action taken or not.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

In contrast, I have only contempt for the parents of Rachel Corrie, who seem to not understand or accept the role they played in her death.

#17 Our family continues to call for a US investigation into Rachel’s death.

Sorry, the bitch got flattened on foreign soil, so the U.S. has no jurisdiction there. Call all you want until your face turns blue.

#18 Doc8 - that was a helluva lot more eloquent and graceful. thx

#19 ooohh..Planet Dan ...ouch! But you are right. That's why these parents look so hard for someone else to blame. They know deep down that if they had done their job properly, their children would not have been searching for meaning, but rather living a productive life.
