Here they are: 1. Chris Vaz wrote: "Why don't you (Tariq) crawl into the hole Saddam vacated?" 2. Chris Vaz wrote: ""Tariq" should go to Michigan to vote with others of his ilk for Kerry." 3. Chris Vaz wrote: "Surveys have indicated that Arabs/Muslims in Michigan planned to vote for Kerry. I wonder why? Where do the sympathies of these Arab/Muslims lie if they decided to vote for Kerry who seeks a "global test" before the U.S decides to defend itself from Islamo-fascists?" > >And what has bigotry in common with the sadistic >kidnapping, beheading, dismembering and >disembowelling of innocents by religious zealots? > Aren't religious zealots by definition bigotted?

Its purpose was to serve as an internet troll message. It was meant to look for another cheap opportunity to label those who oppose the radical policies of the extremist wing of a political party within one country, as lacking compassion, as immoral, as defenders of Saddam Hussein and as supporters of terrorists.
