Why do liberals refer to those who cut off people's heads and kill OUR troops and innocent civilians?

Question

"insurgents" and "freedom fighters" instead of the murdering terrorists that they are? Why do they judge our troops but not the throat cutters? Why do they bash Bush for Iraqi civilian casualties, but not Clinton when he dropped bombs on the Serbian people? And why do they vilify Christians but give Islamists a free pass?

Answer 1

They argue that we shouldn't be using subjective terms - it's why the media like Reuters, AP, New York Times refuse to use the word "terrorist".

It's all garbage of course, because they are just applying their own subjective judgment on the matter, but liberals tend to believe that they exclusively know better than anyone else and possess a unique righteous quality. It's why they shout down their opponents and issue some of the most horrific antisemitism when talking about Israel and racism when talking about people like Condi Rice. I've heard it myself when visiting friends in NY. They are truly blind to their own bias.

Answer 2

Insurgents are those fighting against the occupying force of their country. Whether you call them freedom fighters or not, they are completely different than terrorists.

Terrorists want to attack other people outside their country, to cause fear and disrupt their enemies lives. Insurgents are fighting against the occupying force IN their own country.

And one person committing crimes does not give someone else a pass. Killing innocent Iraqi civilians is just as bad as killing innocent Serbian civilians. Attacking Christianity as a whole is just as reprehensible and irrational as attacking Islam as a whole.

And the few individuals who happen to be in the US military that committed crimes should get punished for their actions. That's not attacking the troops as a whole -- that's holding individuals accountable for their actions.

Answer 3

The socialists cannot win on a level playing field and by reframing the terminology of the argument, they win. It is like Clintons parsing the meaning of is, just another lie.

Answer 4

Good question Britain probably wondered the same thing when they were getting attacked by the murdering terrorists the IRA and constantly heard them referred to as freedom fighters.

Answer 5

They are afraid to push the terrorists around, but Christians are fair game.

Answer 6

Please - for last time - stop putting words in the mouths of liberals that simply aren't true.

I don't feel that way - there is a difference between the guys who cut off people's heads who die in combat and those women and children who are in the wrong place at the wrong time (like our 9/11?? HELLO).

HUGE difference.

I also don't like what Clinton did, as I still think it was a tactic used to deflect from his Lewinsky proceedings. I do not and never will condone this in any fashion.

So before telling me what I am and what I like and what I believe in, why don't you try asking me first?
Thanks.

Answer 7

Because we "Liberals" can see that we may be doing a horrible thing to the people of a country that did not harm us but instead were under the long-term dictatorship of an idiot under the guise of insuring our security. Bush's Iraq policy is kind of like looking for your lost keys under the street light because it is easier than looking for them in the dark corner of the parking lot where you lost them. So why do "Right-wingers" only hear what the Republican party wants them to instead of being able to look beyond for their own answers?

Answer 8

we don't call everyone in the middle east innocent civilians. the ones that are honest hard working, and are civil are the innocent civilians.

Answer 9

They do not. The press call them this. As far as Bush he is a moron, and so he gets bashed by the liberals oh well. We know a idiot when we see one

Answer 10

only an idiot or a traitor would do these things. And maybe there are a few of them even in America. But to sling this mud on all "liberals" insults them and insults you. you ought to be ashamed.
