"Chiraq?" Hadn't heard that one - Sounds good to me - a "sister-city" to Dearbornistan.

Any negative term that describes or includes the combinations of “Chi”, “Barack” and “Obama” Is a quite reasonable conclusion for a reasonable person.

I was using it back in 2002 when Jacques Chirac (Saddam’s old buddy) was promising the U.S. to support force against Iraq. Meanwhile, he sent his foreign minister to lobby Security Council nations, to vote against the resolution.

The author, like a typical MSM airhead, is far more concerned with the terminology than the people being killed.

To be a street thug and murder innocent people is fine. To use a term that has been declared politically incorrect is unforgivable.

I remember when this happened in the D.C. area during the late 80's to the mid 90's during the crack wars.

These are turf wars, gone bad. Eventually, they will run out of gang bangers and the murder rates will drop to something more tolerable in the third world.

I just turned on the news to hear that there have been 10 shot and one killed here this evening. So Chiraq is about right.
