And last year I was going to be at the Boston marathon right there at the finish line waiting with water bottles and bananas, where the tiny bombs exploded this year. http://salem-news.com/articles/april252013/boston-scam-ze.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april252013/boston-scam-ze.php Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:49:00 PDT Remick seems to suggest the Chechen terrorists fighting for separation from Russia were justified because they were deported in WW2.
