Mike Burleson: Praising Bin Laden
Speaking before a group of students in Vancouver Washinton, Democrat Senator Patty Murray praised terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
"He's been out in these countries for decades'" Murray told the children on Wednesday, "building schools, building roads, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that."
Chris Vance of the Washington State Republican Party disagrees with Sen. Murray. In a statement to the Associated Press, Vance said "It is absolutely outrageous and despicable to imply that the American government should learn a lesson from the madman who murdered thousands of American citizens."
Murray defended her comments, accusing her political enemies of twisting her words.
"Having a challenging and thoughtful discussion about America's future reflects the best values of a free democracy," the Senator said.
