The Cycle of Violence:
NOW WITH HYPERLINKED INSTRUCTION MANUAL
- by Mia T, 5.14.04
It was clear to me that Connolley, a leftist, was attempting to subtlely equate that unspeakable subhuman horror with the Dems' BushBash du jour, the so-called Iraqi-prisoner abuse. (Equating the two explicitly would never sell, and besides, doing so wouldn't exactly be an image-enhancing move for Ms. Connolley, whose punditry has been certified never to breach the safely tautological.) When I began to hear other lefties use the same term in precisely the same context, it became clear that "cycle of violence" was the Kerry-DNC response to the al-Qaeda slaughter. By virtually ignoring the Nick Berg decapitation and instead continuing to foment the Iraqi-prisoner-"abuse" scandal, by attempting to draw a "cycle of violence" moral equivalency between the subhuman terrorists and a few infantile Americans, the left exposes its seditious, America-hating, power-hungry hand, its fundamental unfitness to serve... and a despicable brand of clinto-Kerryesque opportunism rooted in 60s-liberal cluelessness.
hen ceci connolley referred the other night (Special Report-Brit Hume, FoxNews) to the decapitation of Nick Berg by the islamofascist animals as "part of the cycle of violence," my hair stood up on end.
I can almost hear the whining. "We were on a roll with the Iraqi-prisoner "abuse." Why the [expletive] did al Qaeda have to one-up the Iraqi thing and kill our momentum?"
