1. Michael B:Regardless as to how blatantly obvious the brutish fascism of the salafi jihadists or Islamofascists is, the Left will generally find a way to be nonplussed, perhaps to dismiss it out of hand, or perhaps to qualify it with a more deft and nuanced “yea, but …” retort. If their self-righteousness is trespassed or their self-enamored reflections are interrupted, beware.
The Christopher Hitchens piece, linked to in a nearby post, is yet another reflection of this virtually ubiquitous phenomenon from the precincts occupied by the highly fevered ideological religionists of the Left.
May 11, 2005 - 10:24 am 2. Baron Bodissey:Michael, good to see you over here! “Ubiquitous” is right. The spin on the dead Afghans in the riot (as Roger talks about in the next post) is going to be interesting.
Actually, it already is interesting. I heard on NPR that it’s all our fault…
May 11, 2005 - 3:19 pm 3. Buddy Larsen:NPR? What Hath God Wrought?
May 11, 2005 - 3:26 pm 4. Baron Bodissey:Buddy, that’s not “God”, that’s “Governmentally-Approved Non-Denominational Non-Gendered Hypothetical Supreme Being.” Shame on you. Go stand in the corner and repent.
May 11, 2005 - 3:42 pm 5. Michael B:Thx Baron, though I suspect some bandwidth hosts think I’m all too “ubiquitous” myself at times :-/
Crooked Timber, today, represents one such example.
(I visit GatesOfVienna btw, a couple or more times a week.)
May 11, 2005 - 3:47 pm 6. Buddy Larsen:Ahh, you’re right, I meant The Competition.
May 11, 2005 - 3:51 pm 7. Baron Bodissey:Michael — well, I make myself a pest in a lot of places, too. So does Buddy, come to think of it — but he’s more witty than I am.
May 11, 2005 - 3:55 pm 8. Buddy Larsen:Ha! the only thing I’ve got on you, Baron, is I have more to be modest about!
(Oh, ok, that was stolen from Winston Churchill.)
May 11, 2005 - 4:56 pm 9. Terrye:I wish there was something that could be done for that poor girl and her child.
How can people be so cruel?
May 11, 2005 - 5:30 pm 10. onecent:Anyone else notice the deafening silence from America’s elite feminists? Accounts of these atrocities have beome mainstream news by now and where is Patricia Ireland and company?
