Look at this evil John Ashcroft statement

What he said was simply evil, no doubt about it.

"What strikes many people who have encountered Ashcroft on public policies is not only the tactics that he uses, but also the personal convictions that seem to drive them.

Missouri State Sen. Harry Wiggins, for one, recalls a meeting with Ashcroft and a group of Kansas City community leaders when he was governor. The group had tried for months to see the governor about funding to keep open Kansas City's only hospice for AIDS patients.

As the meeting began, Wiggins recalled, Ashcroft appeared uninterested until he focused on the facility being a 'home,' not a hospital.

'Then you have my attention, the governor said, according to Wiggins. 'I'm looking for where it is cheapest to send them to die.'

Wiggins said: 'Governor, that's not what we're here for. These are human beings.' Ashcroft replied, 'Their pain and suffering is a result of their own misconduct.'"
Back Off John

Ashcroft is an evil person. He's for the Death Penalty, but against the Death with Dignity Act. He's arrested and deported countless Muslims and Arabs, when it was he who was warned to stay off of planes before 9/11 and failed to tell anyone. Personally, I think Ashcroft likes to see people suffer.
There is a petition at Back Off John to tell Ashcroft to practice what he preaches. I think all DUers should sign it.

Huh?
"...it was he who was warned to stay off of planes before 9/11 and failed to tell anyone."

What has been written about this little tidbit? Is there proof?

Wow.

"On July 26, 2001, cbsnews.com reported that John Ashcroft had stopped flying on commercial airlines.

Ashcroft used to fly commercial, just as Janet Reno did. So why, two months before Sept. 11, did he start taking chartered government planes?

CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart asked the Justice Department.

Because of a "threat assessment" by the FBI, he was told. But "neither the FBI nor the Justice Department ... would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it," CBS News reported."
