She will heretofore be known as Condi Sidedish.

Dahij?

Can we get a GRRRRRR! with the Arrrggggh?

I agree. We should not call them "jihadists". We should call them what they really are - "Fanatical Muslim Murderers" sounds better.

The word "Islamist" will soon be in the next list I presume. How about "Muslim"?

re: #10 seekeroftruth

How are we supposed to fight a war when we're not supposed to name the enemy nor use the words the enemy uses to describe themselves and their actions?

Watch your language.

I wonder if RoPer is OK?
Didn't Dubya use the term Islamofacist?

Next thing you know TERRORIST will be a proscribed term.

I suggest that all Police Departments forbid the use of the word "murder". that should solve the problem of illegal killings. Simple. Effective. Bullshit!

"murdering terrorist scum" is undoubtedly completely out of the question, eh?

/i feel so much safer now.

There may be some hope for McCain toward this end.

But we know that Condi Rice and State were strongly opposed to Carter's meetings with Hamas. Yeah, I know - that has all the force and effect of a UN Resolution or a Security Council harshly worded statement denouncing someone for doing real bad things.

Still, that State is playing semantics thinking that if we choose just the right words to describe jihad, it will improve our image overseas. Not gonna happen.

Jihadis hate us to our very core. It's their ideology, stupid. As much as the ivory towers want to reframe the issue as one being the fault of America for all that ails the world, this is a problem that began well before the US was even a gleam in the eyes of the Founding Fathers. And unless Muslims around the world finally divorce themselves from the jihadi mindset and stand up against the nihlistic and genocidal thugs who force everyone else to cower in fear, we're going to be dealing with jihad for a good long time to come.

A Jihadi by any other name is still a Jihadi.

Can we still say filthy Zionist Joooooooooooos?

Ok.....whack jobs...they're whack jobs....ok?

a skunk by any other name smells just as bad. Let's apply another name to that group: MURDEROUS SWINE.

Well I am advocating language like: "Voting for any democrat is prohibited by law".

Gee, that solves alot.

And what kind of generational idiot would look for a job with an outfit which tells you what you may say or not say?

If this has been going on for a long time I would suspect that the State Department is full of time serving fools.

Its getting difficult to tell the difference between the UN and our own useless State Dept.

Hey State... we can't "redefine" our way to peace. A jihadi by any other name will smell as dank.

People in State actually get paid real* money to think stuff like this up?

* Taxpayer money that is, which may or may not be real.

re: #38 Angel

Fail. This last part of Bush's term has been a spectacular failure. He;s turning this country into 1930's Europe. You know, denying that the Nazi (Islamofascist) threat exists and caving in to them and giving them whatever the hell they want.

One of the worst things he did was appoint this "sheep in sheepdog's clothing" Secretary of State.

I, honestly, am scared for this country.

Because removing the language removes the problem... Words just have that much power. That's why talking is preferable to war, it's not avoidance of violence, just a better application!

Oy...

And to think some pple wanted Condhimmi for VP..
are they the same ones who still think Carter is remotely human?

Wog?
[bigoted word]?

Does that mean we have to censor the terrorists' own announcements and self-descriptions?

Kewl, Condi.
/not

When Alan Greenspan (I think it was - or Volker?) didn't want to use the word "recession" a few years ago, he decided to use the word "banana" instead. Didn't he go before Congress and declare that he did not see a "banana" in the near future?

If it looks like, smells like, feels like...must be shit.

What the State Department is doing is not going to fool the jihadists, and it is not going to fool Muslims anywhere. It will only serve to confuse the public in the West, so that the enemy cannot be properly identified and understood.

Every element has a state.

State Dept. is the natural state of Administratium.

New Element Discovered........Administratium

A major research institution has recently announced
the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to
science. This new element has been tentatively
named "Administratium". Administratium has 1
neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons,
and 111 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an
atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by a force
called 'morons,' which are surrounded by vast
quantities of lepton-like particles called
'peons'.Since Administratium has no electrons, it is
inert. However, it can easily be detected as it
impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact.

A minute amount of Administratium causes one
reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it
would normally take less than an hour.Administratium
has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay
but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a
portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy
neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange
places.

In fact, Administratium's mass will actually
increase over time, since each reorganization causes
some morons to become neutrons forming 'isodopes'.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some
scientists to
speculate that Administratium is formed whenever
morons reach a certain quantity in concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as
"Critical Morass."You will know it when you see
it...

Doesnt Jihad mean 'striving for peace' ?

Condhiimi, Read it and Puke

In her remarks at Princeton University on September 30, 2005, Secretary Rice spoke of supporting democratic aspirations: "Now, to support democratic aspirations, we must be serious about the universal appeal of certain basic rights. When given a truly free choice, human beings will choose liberty over oppression; the right to own property over random search and seizure. Human beings will choose the natural right to life over the constant fear of death. And human beings will choose to be ruled by the consent of the governed, not by the coercion of the state; by the rule of law, not the whim of rulers. These principles should be the source of justice in every society and the basis for peace between all states."

re: #21 JammieWearingFool

There may be some hope for McCain toward this end.

From your link:

Michael Ledeen, a terrorism analyst at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, backed Mr. McCain's definition of the enemy.

"Islamic terrorism is purely descriptive," he said. "It doesn't group the enemy under the Islamic brush stroke because there are plenty of terrorists and extremists who are not Islamic. So it's just a way of specifying who they are."

Of ISNA's criticism, Mr. Ledeen said, "They're just silly. What a silly thing to say. I talk of Marxist extremists and nationalist extremists. They just don't want people to say there are Islamic terrorists, which there are. Too bad."

Thank you, Michael Ledeen.

re: #155 darkpixel

You are right on target.

Unless someone produces a reliable copy of a State department 'style manual', or whatever, I'l take this with a massive pinch of salt.

And yet if someone were to show me this tomorrow, sadly I would not be surprised.

I've been known to be wrong before, but on this one, I'll take my chances on not jumping to conclusions on an undocumented assertion.

She may be a disappointment to many people, but she's not stupid.

Sad...I'm a sad person :(

re: #168 Killgore Trout

Don't piss off Mr. Spencer. He's a little grumpy lately.

Huh?

Condi! Woah, does that woman suck big sweaty jihadist balls or what!

Deluded idiot! Wishing problems into nonexistence by eradicating them from our lexicon... yeah, that's gonna work!

This Orwellian crap is getting over the top!

+ You wanted to talk to me Miss Rice?

- Get in here! Did you get the latest memo?

+ Yes Ma'am and-

- Did you READ IT?

+ Well, of course Miss Rice-

- Then WHY? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING when you wrote "...religion-crazed terrorist zealot with an AK-47 and explosive vest MURDERED women and children..." ? We TOLD YOU NOT TO USE 'jihadist', didn't we?

+ Yes Ma'am! And I didn't use jihadist, did I?

- But what you said sounds terrible, and people get upset-

+ (moving closer, looking in her eyes and speaking just above audible whisper)
People like the women and children he maimed and murdered? Have I included ANY untruths in my report? Then its a very good thing to 'get upset' at those murderous, callous, imam-inspired elitist religious zealots, who want to SUBJUGATE, ENSLAVE or ELIMINATE US VERMIN, Miss Rice!

- (aghast, in shock, speechless)

+ What was I thinking of? I was THINKING of ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS of the people killing and maiming women and children in the name of 'religion', Miss Rice. If you need me, I'll be in my office. (turns and leaves)

re: #174 beachkatie

Sad...I'm a sad person :(

Why so sad?

Just to point out that two of the best known Islamic Jihadi groups to use the word "jihad" in their names are;

Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which operates almost exclusively in the Gaza Strip alongside of Hamas and may very well share members with Hamas.

Egyptian Islamic Jihad, who is at least 50% of the founding membership of al Qaeda.

===

Perhaps Mr. Spencer could question his source a little more closely?

PERHAPS,

re: #178 jcm

Polluted beaches?

re: #55 song_and_dance_man

re: #38 Angel

ah yes , 13, the age of Bar Mitzvah..ya see?..All part of the Zionist conspiracy.

The Islamists got that beat. I saw the video of the 12 year old muslim boy cutting a man's head off.

Allah smiles.

/irony and gut wrenching truth speak

Yeah, that one is really disturbing. I mean, you watch the start of this thing, and you see this boy who's still young and cute enough to give you the warm fuzzies just by looking at him... and then you see and realize what he's doing, and suddenly it's no longer warm-fuzzies you feel, but... shock!

Shock, and utter sadness for him.

I mean, a boy like this should be in a house somewhere playing with action figures and toy rocketships! It is a crime against him and a crime against humanity to turn someone as innocent and precious as a tween into a fanatical killer like that! And the fact that they've done something like that to this boy, and to probably many others like him, is even more disturbing than seeing that boy crudely cutting someone's head off!

re: #180 Elydo

Polluted beaches?

I tried to do the tiny letters , i could not do it!That why i'm sad!

re: #181 NomadOfNorad

Youre so right..but hey..now that we cant say Musssssslim or jiiiiiiiihad, it will all be better.

Youre getting sleepyyyyyyyyyy......
Youre getting sleepyyyyyyyyyy......

Youre getting sleepyyyyyyyyyy......

While it may run counter to most of your opinions I consider that this isn't that big a deal. A rose by any other name, you know? Doesn't matter what we call them because we know what they are and what we call them isn't going to change what they are.

We're not going to call them martyrs are we? That's one of their words. One of the things they call themselves. The same thing applies to jihad as well, like it or not.

Most of the terms that I think of them as wouldn't ever be uttered by a member of the state department, probably wouldn't make it past Charles' filter here, and even any did get past the filter, well they'd bring Stinky Beaumont shuffling out to clean up the mess.

King Abdullah has spoken.

ok...time to take a break..
Argggggggg!

Perhaps some American Idol will put things in persective.
ha.

BBL!

Hugzzzzzzzzz all around. :)

re: #182 beachkatie

Ahhhhh. _{AhhhhAhhhAhhh}

Good for McCain.

This will break his way in differentiating him from the inept Baker-Bush Admin.

If true, it should also remove St. Condi of the Amalekites from consideration for his VP slot.

Good, good, good.

re: #182 beachkatie

I tried to do the tiny letters , i could not do it!That why i'm sad!

to make tiny letters
< s u b > take out the spaces
to end tiny letters
< / s u b > take out the spaces

A jihadist by any other name would smell as rancid!

re: #187 Elydo

Ahhhhh. _{AhhhhAhhhAhhh}

That was mean! I oughta'......
;-)

re: #187 Elydo

re: #189 jcm

Also, each iteration will further decrease the size. For example:

< s u b > Ahhh < s u b > Ahhhh < / s u b > < / s u b >

< s u b > < s u b > Ahhh < / s u b > < / s u b >

re: #191 jcm

[grin] Couldn't resist. It's my first time playing with this function too.

Can we call the jihadists "mad dog killer Satanic death worshippers"? Or maybe just "sicko death cultists"? There are so many possibilities.

Condi is a big disappointment. :-(

re: #193 Elydo

[grin] Couldn't resist. It's my first time playing with this function too.

While back we could do actual font sizes and colors. It left a security hole so Charles disabled that.

re: #195 jcm

I'm not sorry. I've seen what can happen with that kind of ability. Pages of text with every single letter a different size and colour. It was not fun.

re: #13 Thanos

Can we get a GRRRRRR! with the Arrrggggh?

I'd add a "spit" and a "ptooie" as well. Maybe throw in an "eyeroll" for a visual expression of contempt. Also add a "snort" to show that they are silly clowns.

OK.

We'll call them Mohammedans.

NEXT!

I saw a photo of Roselynn Carter on her trip to whatever hellhole she was visiting yesterday. What wasn't she wearing a burkha? Someone should get after her before she offends some jihadists.

re: #198 aaron

OK.

We'll call them Mohammedans.

NEXT!

I've been calling them Mohammedans for a while now, because I know they hate it. They can sue me.

re: #175 rightymouse
See here

I just read the comments here (well, the early ones -- there are about 100 more since I stopped and composed this note) and I saw that "Kilgore Trout" and some others were attacking me for allegedly speaking at "another" white supremacist event recently, linking to a film Pamela made of some post-event bantering.

What excuse do our leaders have to remain Islamically challenged, nearly 7 years after 9/11?

Does freedom of speech mean anything to the State Department?

We can't offend the indignant, liminal, indigenous Muslims of fundamentalist cultures.

/the end of common sense.

Already bending over, and Barack isn't even president ? Say it isn't so, I was looking for a good night sleep tonight!

re: #196 Elydo

I'm not sorry. I've seen what can happen with that kind of ability. Pages of text with every single letter a different size and colour. It was not fun.

Lizards were pretty restrained, it was the security hole that Charles didn't like.

re: #112 really grumpy big dog Johnson

I honestly thought that Condi would be a very good SecState. But experience tells me absolutely otherwise. She's been a disaster, and if this is correct, it's just another of too many slaps in the face to me.

The oil whore continues to kow-tow to Dubbya's Saudi partners.

Thankfully, the words "idiot" and "idiotic" may still be used to describe Ms. Rice and her policies, respectively.

I would doubt very much that the jihadistas have any difficulty finding the correct term to describe twits lacking backbones.

It is evident that the House of Saud wields undue influence over State.

She's gone eurocrat on us. Pathetic.

I just heard on the radio that Hillary said she'd obliterate Iran if they nuke Israel.

Well, as long as we can still call many of the clit-ton holdovers in the State Department TRAITORS!

I give her credit for saying it, unlike any of the other candidates.

Don't get me wrong, I know she's not to be trusted for anything, but words mean things, and hers here are what's needed to be heard.

Let the 'natural selection' via Jiha...oh...sorry, via _____ begin.

The State Department may say whatever it wants, it may call a leopard a little kitty, it will have misnamed it but the leopard still cannot change its spots.

Orianna was right about American right wing politicians, not much better than leftie louie

Been away for a few days and all I can say is:

"well, fuck me sideways"

"I am sorry, sir, you may not use the word 'sideways'"

"well, in that case, fuck me straight up and down"

"That is better, sir"

"Whew, you're tellin me nuttin"

A reliable source has informed me that Condoleeza Rice has approved a new lexicon for State Department usage, absolutely forbidding the use of the terms “jihad” and “jihadist” by any State Department official.

Oh yeah, that'll make it go away.

}:)     [Fair words butter no parsnips. -- John Clarke.]

Ji, had I been the one to decide, it would be different.

They'll have to cut off my tongue, and do that true, blue American-ectomy before they'll get me so dumb I can't think my way around a lexicon.

(Hopefully not stomping on someone else's original work. Lots of comments to shift through)

In know way am I defending her "position" but isn't she doing this because she feels "good, peaceful muslims"
are offended by the use of the word and not that she is
worried about offending the enemy ? I figured her logic was "jihad" is a sacred word to all muslims soooooo,
using it to define the IslamoWhackadoos is an insult to all - am I friggin' of the wall again here ?

State has been infiltrated by a bunch of left wing appeasing traitorous ##ck# for decades. Will someone PLEASE drain Foggy Bottom? Sadly, probably not until the JIHADISTS nuke a civilized city, killing hundreds of thousands.

re: #222 leftover54

Your post would make sense except for a couple facts: (1) see my post above about State. (2) Condi was an expert on the USSR, but is out of her depth when dealing with Islamism -- a totally different paradigm. And whatever is in the water at State has blinded her to the facts, so she is not going to adapt as necessary.

Condoleeza Rice...forbidding the use of the terms “jihad”

...BRILLIANT!

Oh, yeah. She should definitely be the Rep. vice-presidential candidate.

[redacted]

Whew, well that problem is solved! WTF
