Rachel Corrie, the Idiotarian of the Year laureate for 2003, died one year ago today.

This means that practically every media outlet in America will now run stories on her, tediously repeating all the lies that have long since been debunked. I was going to find a particularly bad one and link to it, but why bother? We all know the drill. They’re going to say she was “run over” by the bulldozer. She wasn’t. They’re going to say she was protecting the “home of a doctor.” She wasn’t. They’re going to say she was clearly visible to the bulldozer driver. She wasn’t.

Some of them will even call her death “murder,” though it’s better described as suicide through sheer stupidity.

The effort to make propaganda hay out of Rachel Corrie started before her body hit the ground, and has never stopped.

Unfortunately, this effort hasn’t gone as well as the ISM and their terrorist handlers would have liked—and I think weblogs deserve some of the credit for thwarting their attempts to turn Corrie into another Mohammed al-Dura.

As a reminder of what was in Rachel’s heart in the days before she committed suicide by bulldozer, we present once again these two photographs, showing that Saint Rachel didn’t just hate Israel—she hated America too.

UPDATE: OK, there is one Corrie tribute worth linking to: Thanks for showing us what “peace” really means.

Today is the first anniversary of Rachel Corrie’s death. I want to thank Corrie for the explosives that flow freely from Egypt to Gaza, via the smuggling tunnels under the Gaza homes that she died defending.

Perhaps it was these explosives that in the year since her martyrdom—oops, death—have been strapped around suicide bombers to blow up city buses and restaurants in Israeli cities, particularly in Jerusalem, killing men, women and schoolchildren (two of them classmates of my daughter and her friend in the February 22, 2004 bombing) and leaving hundreds more widows, orphans and bereaved parents.

On the first anniversary of her death, I want to thank Rachel Corrie for showing Palestinian children how to despise America as she snarled, burned an American flag, and led them in chanting slogans, and as she gave “evidence” at a Young Palestinian Parliament mock trial finding President Bush guilty of crimes against humanity.

Perhaps her help in fanning the flames of violent anti-American sentiment led to the October 2003 bombing of the Fulbright delegation to Gaza to interview scholarship candidates, killing three. There will be no new crop of Palestinian Fulbright scholars this fall.
