Planet Pepe drones about militant practitioners

Call the Mumbai killers anything but terrorists. And blame it all of W, or Baruch Goldstein, or whoever -- anybody but the head-hackers themselves. That's the pinko-lefty schtick, perfected to an art form. Lenin was right: they're all useful idiots. Or just plain idiots.

'Practitioners,' hmm. Gotta give them credit.

Practitioner of the art of head-hacking?

By the way, one of the standard MSM outfits (Reuters or the Beeb, I forget), captioned the pic of the gunman with the gun in his hand (the one I illustrated "From Planet Pepe, with love" post with) as, 'the alleged gunman". The perfect pitch for a pink-birkenstocker Versaillist useful idiot.

I remember now where I read the story-- it was in the Mark Steyn column about Zaky, Nagin, & al. Let me regurge the relevant paragraph, it's worth re-reading:

There was a photograph that appeared in many of the British papers, taken by a Reuters man and captioned by the news agency as follows: “A suspected gunman walks outside the premises of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus or Victoria Terminus railway station.” The photo of the “suspected gunman” showed a man holding a gun. We don’t know much about him — he might be Muslim or Episcopalian, he might be an impoverished uneducated victim of western colonialist economic oppression or a former vice-president of Lehman Bros embarking on an exciting midlife career change — but one thing we ought to be able to say for certain is that a man pointing a gun is not a “suspected gunman” but a gunman.

Right. Weird in the extreme. Alleged journalism. Still, I think everyone gets the picture. What harm can it do? Make us all think we need to find ourselves?
