Kos kooks: Padilla a “martyr”

I’ve made my feelings known on the Padilla issue from day one, and many of you have disagreed with me. That’s cool, since if friends can’t disagree among themselves from time to time, then the friendship’s not that authentic, now is it?

However, I think one thing we can all agree on regarding Padilla is that the S.O.B. is no “martyr”. Here’s what was posted at the Kos kooks site (I refuse to link there, so you can either take my word for it or go see for yourself):

As was the case during the witch trials of yesteryear,

Neocynic’s diary :: ::
only the socially unpopular, the mentally ill, and the politically dangerous end up at the end of a noose or in yet another bonfire of political vanity. (If this were true, Kos and his kook minions would have been rendered piñatas years ago! – Ed.)

From allegations of planning to plant a readioactive “dirty” bomb, to being convicted of having his prints on a piece of apparently “found” by the government. The rest was purely circumstatial.

The case against against Padilla hinged on one piece of papar: an application with his fingerprints. If this is enough to incarcerate and torture an American citizen, then America the Beautiful has truly fallen to fear, fascism, and intolerance.

This man was tortured to the point of being mentally incapable of mounting a proper defence. (Has any proof of this been brought forward? I didn’t think so, either. – Ed.)
…
What a travesty of justie (sic), what a farce of a trial. (The jurors thank you for the highest respect with which you give them. Jerk. – Ed.)

Everything points to a coming police state and woe unto all dissenters, both here and everywhere.

My beef with the handling of the Padilla case was that he is an American citizen and is afforded rights under our Constitution, and the administration stamped on those rights. However, he ultimately did get a trial, and he was judged to have been guilty as charged by a jury of his peers.

In other words, a homegrown terrorist is to be pitied (if not revered) by the Kos-tards as a “martyr”. If you have not yet done so, please feel free to go ahead and question their patriotism.
