Yeah whatever. I'm never opposed to criticizing the us but as a brown woman I'm finding it rich that a white dude is getting all ~more liberal than thou over bin Laden.

Especially, when Liberals were cheering the loudest when POTUS announced it.

as a black woman am i allowed to agree with him jw

Shrug. Opine what you want. I'm desi but could easily be mistaken for Muslim and I am almost positive that it's informing my being on my guard against this most likely white male writer. I've been deeply suspicious of white liberals, particularly men, for almost a decade now, and this dude is one such man.

i could give a shit about the dude

the point remains the same

i'm finding his logic that bin laden was "a frail old man" to be ageist. i don't know if i should laugh or cry at myself.

yeaaah George Bush Senior is an old man

that jumped out of airplanes every year on his birthday

until his doctor told him to stop because he has genetic heart disease

do not underestimate the elderly!!

right? i mean, i get the absurdity of crying "ageism" in this context. but still.
