Chicago (CNN)Violence in this great American city matures so notoriously that film director Spike Lee now purportedly seeks a new nickname for the Windy City: Chiraq.

The name merges Chi-town with Iraq -- as if Chicago sinks like the godforsaken Iraq, a hopeless war zone to the world.

Spike Lee makes propaganda films to bring down America.

Great name Spike.

It’s nice to see art imitate life and make the political class uncomfortable.

Isn’t that place a “gun free “zone? (rhetorical question)

I guess the town illustrates that if you outlaw guns only the outlaws will have them. Tell you what.0, allow the people to have CCL there then revisit the place next year after a few hundred have defended themselves and shot some of the gangbangers and knock out gamers dead we’ll see if the crime rate drops. Fair enough?

And yet the murder rate in Chicago is near a 50 year low, and is half that of the late's 80s/early 90s.

Spelled backwards reads Qarihc, no connection to racist lingo, so, much ado about nada.

Lee missed a chance to take responsibility for the problem. The correct name would be Chicongo in honor of the root of the problem.

Anti-police sentiment in big cities across the country comes at a cost and we're seeing it now with skyrocketing crime statistics from St. Louis to New York City.

You know, I think ....I dunno there just seems something a bit odd here.

Am I supposed to believe that leftists, who created both Iraq and Chicago, who tell us that all cultures are equal and praise Barry for saving and fixing the ‘Bush blunder’, are UPSET by a name that combines two triumphs of liberalism and liberal governance?

Clearly that cannot be the case.

If thew were upset, it would be an open refutation that liberal in all it’s forms FAILED spectacularly on a global geopolitical scale. And on a local scale. That Multiculturalism failed globally and locally.

Since that makes no sense in any capacity, then it logicaly stands to reason that they are not upset at all and this is merely some plot hatched in Netenyahu’s cellar or Fox news editorial meetings in a racist attempt to make Black Jesus look bad..

So Baltimore can be called Biraq. After the scuzzy class warfare community organizer who has done SO much for race issues during his squat.
