i find myself agreeing with michael savage more and more; we are more in danger from the clowns who describe the innocent-murdering animals & cowards as "geurrillas", "insurgents", & "rebels".

"we are more in danger from the clowns who describe the innocent-murdering animals & cowards as 'geurrillas.'"

LOL,
only a kawzy klown would call anyone "geurrillas."

I was just searching for a thread were I could mention this: At the bottom scroll for MSNBC, they continue to describe this attack as "insurgents." I'm sick of this media that can't call these people what they are: Terrorists!

[singletrack]

The Buffalo News has referred to them as "activists" too. My jaw dropped with that one. The Buffalo News also ran the headline "Local Man Victim of CIA strike" when our predator unmanned aircraft hit the terrorists in Iraq. VICTIM! nice choice of words.

PS...I can't ever recall Timothy McVeigh...or any other "anti-gov" movement/murderers ever being refered to as an insurgents, activists or geurillas. Always, in that case, they are either extremists, domestic terrorists or murderers. Hell, our own media won't even apply those names to groups like ELF or PETA.
