Not the same thing at all.

Unless of course it's exactly the same thing.

Well, let's see...

We know the one on the left is just putting on a show, (we can see that from the tweet) with no intention of carrying out any terrorist attack, so she represents no threat to anyone whatsoever...

Do we know the same thing about the one on the right?

Because unless that's also true in her case, then no, they're not the same thing at all...

Two things "looking" similar means absolutely nothing; (Ted Bundy and Mark Harmon playing Ted Bundy "look" similar) it's the substance and actions that matter.

Do you not know it? The language barrier works both ways you know.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

What's the American girl's point in regards to Hobby Lobby? Is she trying to say that she supports Hobby Lobby and will throw a bible at anyone who disagrees with her?

Or is she just hoping to get her picture on a 2015 tea party calendar?

I think I can figure out what happened...

She's a Conservative Christian young lady but also one who has a sense of humor. She tweeted her picture along with some comment supporting the Hobby Lobby decision, and somebody who opposes the decision thought it would be a real clever put-down to tweet something back like, "Gee, where's your gun, your flag and your bible?"

So this tweet was basically to say, "alright asshole, here you go"... :D

Meade, did you find that picture by Googling or because you're a Twitter follower of the young lady? (If the latter, is Mrs. Meade aware of this? :P )

Looks like I was correct (not surprisingly 8-)) ...:
A conservative Christian and mother of three from West Virginia has provoked vitriol from the left and support from the right after sharing her extreme beliefs about guns, abortion, health care and other political hot issues.

Holly Fisher, who Tweets using the provocative handle Holly Hobby Lobby, has created uproar online in the wake of last week’s controversial birth control decision by the Supreme Court.

To celebrate the court’s decision, Fisher posted a provocative photo online of her wearing a pro-life T-shirt, while posing in front of a Hobby Lobby store and holding a Chick-fil-A drinking cup.

‘Attention Liberals: do not look at this picture. Your head will most likely explode,’ read the caption on the photo posted on July 1.

The image went viral, prompting opponents of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case to post offensive responses and even make threats against Fisher.[seems to me those folks have more in common with the woman in the other picture than Fisher does]

'Isn't it funny that the people who call me fat, ugly, a whore, stupid ... a bitch, etc. are the same ones whining about the #WarOnWomen?' she tweeted.[Now I'm really starting to like her... :ok ]

Not content with the reaction she had generated, Fisher next posted a photo showing her standing in front of the American flag holding a gun and a copy of the Holy Bible on July 4.

‘Biggest complaint I'm getting about my #HobbyLobby pic is there's no gun, bible, or flag. Tried to make up for it,’ she tweeted.

Once again the image generated a lot of online heat and was also quickly turned into a Twitter meme, with many calling her the American Taliban.

In the meme, Fisher's photo is side-by-side with an image of Sherafiyah Lewthwaite, an international terrorist known as the White Widow who is part of the Al-Shabaab Islamic militant group.

The meme, which shows Lewthwaite in a similar stance while holding a gun and a copy of the Quran, says: 'Explain the difference.'

'My new nickname is "American Taliban" it seems. You know how I know the lefties don't really think I'm a terrorist? They hate me,' Fisher wrote on Monday in response to the backlash.
These people are playing right into her hands...

To compare her to a known terrorist is beyond ridiculous, and just makes those attempting to do it look like complete fools... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nah LJ - the story and pictures were on the AOL newsfeed that runs when my AOL email first opens. Now if she owned a brewery, was a nymphomaniac and only had two weeks to live.......

Okay, I've got this ...

Now that I have the back story on both of these ladies, I'm more than happy to "explain the difference":

Holly Fisher:

Pro-life activist who enjoys tweaking liberals (and calling some of them on their hypocrisy) in social media...

Sherafiyah Lewthwaite:
Samantha Louise Lewthwaite (born 5 December 1983), also known as Sherafiyah Lewthwaite or the White Widow, is one of the world's most wanted terrorism suspects.[5][6][7][8] She is currently a fugitive from justice in Kenya, where she is wanted on charges of possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony and is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice requesting her arrest with a view to extradition.[1]

Lewthwaite is an alleged member of the Somalia-based radical Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab.[9] She has been accused of orchestrating grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship,[9] and is believed to have been behind an attack on those watching football in a bar in Mombasa during Euro 2012.[10] In September 2013, there was speculation over her possible involvement in the Westgate shopping mall attack,[11] although other reports cast doubt on this.[12] She has been dubbed the 'White Widow' by the news media, a play on words referencing her ethnicity, the death of her first husband and the practice of referring to Chechen female suicide bombers as 'black widows.'[13]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Lewthwaite


If anyone can't see "the difference" between those two, I'm afraid there ain't much hope for you... :?

I have another image here which I believe accurately describes the attempt to draw some sort of "equivalence' between these two...

Whoever decided to come up with that meme is just about as ignorant as that nimrod in Kentucky who thinks the temperature on Earth and Mars are "exactly the same".... :lol:

I think Mrs. Fisher, (I assume it's "Mrs"...when I first saw her picture, I thought she was a College Kid) should run for Congress out there in West Virginia;

She'd make a great candidate... :ok

I'm sure she would, in West Virginia - where the toothbrush was named so because nobody could conceive of calling it the teethbrush.

No, it isn't. The woman on the left is a fake. Pretending, like an actor in a B-movie. A feckless nothing. An NRA calendar girl. The woman on the right is the real thing.

I'm not surprised you're not a fan of Holly's rube...

Since she's made a hobby out of exposing people who are lot like you for being the mean-spirited fools and hypocrites you are... 8-)
