French soldiers attacked by a car.

Car was a BMW... Hmm I sense a young male driver from the Middle East.


Hmm. Close. In Anglo common parlance you would be right, but the "driver" was North African, Algerian to be precise.
Was he whitewashed by the French media?  They did not say he was black.  :hmm:

Another car attack. Virginia this time.

Decontexualizing events is great.

I think classifying white supremacist and neo nazi terror attacks as terror attacks is legitimate.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Donald is so weak-willed he can't even condemn actual Nazis because he's afraid to lose their vote.  :Embarrass:

CNN.com described this as terrorism in it's headline yesterday (today it's using the term "Terror.")

A quick scan in Google shows news services as diverse as Vice, The Washington Examiner, NPR, Fox News, ABC, Salon, Slate, and the Boston Herald all use the term "Terror" or "Terrorism" in their articles about this attack.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Liep

No one in Danish media is calling it terrorism or terror, but of course they're busy with the submarine murder mystery.

So what, as Garbon seems to disagree.  :P

I told you, you were safer where you are.  Don't come back, there's nothing for you here.
