[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the people freaking out know anything about the battle of Iwo Jima? It was brutal and deadly for the Japanese--almost 20K lives lost and later, too many American lives lost trying to keep it.

In the end, the island was basically never used and had no utility during the war. It was used for emergency landings only.

So yeah... a lot of lives lost brutally for a completely useless arena.[/quote]

You’re trying to cover for Omeish.  She’s not weighing in on whether, in hindsight, the battle was strategically unnecessary and led to unnecessary deaths. She’s commenting on it in a way that clearly is intended to cast the US as a distinct purveyor of “human evil.”

Coming from a [b]woman whose family’s mosque hosted 3 of the 11 hijackers from 9/11[/b], I do not need this spoiled woman-child giving us public lectures about what constitutes a “record *** for human evil.”  If the Democrats refuse to de-platform her, the voters should. [/quote]

Oops. Missed this little but of overt racism. Do you have the same problem with churches that hosted Jan 6ers (southern baptists et al) , Timothy McVeigh (catholic churches)?
I am done with you because you obviously don't have any arguments, just petty grievances, bigotry, and a smooth brain.[/quote]
The point is that she’s in no position to speak to what constitutes a “record” for “human evil” when her own father consorted with some other strong contenders for the title. Sorry if you’re too addled to figure that out on your own. [/quote]

I don't know anything at all about this argument, and I don't really want to, but suggesting someone loses the right to participate in public discussions because their parent "consorted" with someone is a little ridiculous.  Does every member of the Trump family have to shut up forever because they "consorted" with the Saudis, who funded the 9/11 hijackers and dismembered a US citizen with a bone saw?  I mean I would like that but I don't actually think that's how it works.[/quote]

It would be fantastic if the Trump family excused themselves from making public statements, but they aren't sitting members of the FCPS School Board who have repeatedly offended Fairfax County residents and found new ways to stick their feet in their mouth.

So your analogies are just about as lame as Omeish's attempts to pontificate about world history.  If she wanted to express appreciation for Japanese-Americans, a comment about the grave injustice of the internment of Japanese-Americans during WW II, which is what the Day of Remembrance is about, would have been entirely appropriate.  However, referring to Iwa Jima as a "record" for "human evil" serves no valid purpose, insults Americans whose ancestors and relatives served in WW II, and underscores how ill-suited Omeish is for public office.

If you want to criticize her remarks feel free. As I said I have no desire to wade into figuring out what you are complaining about and if it’s justified. Just stay away from the guilt by association verging on racism. [/quote]
