« In Case You Missed It: An Interesting "Correction" From the New York Times | Main | Confirmed: 2 (or 4) Unexploded Bombs Discovered »

Shock: BBC Decides That Terrorists, Rather Than "Militants" or "Fighters," Bombed London

But I doubt they mean a word of it.

Like most leftists, they stubbornly hew to the idea that one man's terrorist is another man's "freedom fighter" -- it just depands on your perspective.

They ignore the rather big objective criterion -- terrorists deliberately attack civilian targets. Soldiers -- even guerilla soldiers -- don't.

And freedom fighters usually fight for, you know, freedom, rather than totalitarian psychopathic medeival theofascism.

They're only using the word "terrorist" because, as they say, the public would have their guts for garters if they trotted out that "militants" shit.

Which just reinforces, to them, their own idiocy... it's only "terrorism" when it's directed against you.

But Normblog reminds the BBC of the OBJECTIVE, not subjective, evidence that these are in fact "terrorists," and not merely swarthy "freedom fighters" conjuring up romantic visions of T.E. Lawrence and Saladin.

Next week, when similar murderers blow up bombs in Iraq, Israel, Indonesia, or Indiana, they'll be "militants" or "bearded scimitar-wielding warrior-poets" again. Trust that.

Maybe Brian Williams can go to London, stand outside the Tube, and ask Londoners if they don't agree, that one man's patriot is another man's terrorist. Whadda' think?

How true! Great post ACE!

Irony of ironies (though the BBC, as with most leftists both individaully and collectively, doesn't understand history enough to acknowledge this) - if T.E. Lawrence's dream had been fulfilled, the fall of Damascus would have given birth to Arab democracy, and we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.

The problem with the Middle East isn't that the West meddled in its internal affairs - it's that the West didn't meddle enough.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
You know we "joke" about the GOPe just "conserving" leftist things?
