NEVER SAY TERRORIST...
Daniel Pipes covers off a topic which has been disturbing me a lot lately, namely the wilful refusal of the mass media to use the term "terrorist" to describe those that carry out acts of terrorism. He lists all the euphemisms we have come to loath......"Fighters" "Gunmen" "Militants" and my favourite cop-out "Activists" (his too!)
This is the language of the moral relatives who run the major TV news outlets. They all use the weasel excuse "but what IS a terrorist"? I'll tell you what a terrorist is - the vile scum that slaughter innocents in Russia, New York, Tel Aviv, Belfast, Bali - to name but a few locations. They use TERROR - they are TERRORISTS. Why not call them for what they are - or is that asking too much of leftists?
