The emperor wears no clothes

Under the pretext of being “peace activists" the conjoined twins Islamist lobbies, the useful lefty idiots and the regular vanilla flavored Islamist Anti-Semites keep whitewashing the Islamist regime’s crimes. The problem is their emperor wears no clothes and the object of their “peace activity” is a well documented bar none wholesale human rights violator at home and an aggressor abroad.

Except for any pretense of objectivity

which was sadly missing, Fred's comment conveys the perfect replica of talking points regularly delivered by Joe Lieberman and by Christian Zionist "Pastor" John Hagee, both of whom incidently, do quite a bit of praying.

The orwellian rule of thumb is this:
if X advocates peace, than X is appeasement. If X advocates war than X is peaceful.

War is Peace, after all. "Right" said Fred!
