re: #28 Charles Johnson

They’ve dropped the “scary ISIS terrorists” meme now, in favor of the “radical left wing gay activist” meme.

The sick part of that is that ISIS really did do something horrible today, in Benghazi no less:

Four children were killed in rocket attack on an area of the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi where Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for a mortar attack, officials said on Wednesday.

The children were killed on Tuesday when a rocket hit their neighborhood, near an area where army forces and Islamist brigades have been fighting, Libya’s internationally recognized government said in a statement.

“Four innocent children were killed by an extremist terrorist group in one of the ugliest crimes,” the government of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni said in a statement.

Militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State said on Twitter they had fired mortar rockets into the district where the children were killed. They posted pictures purportedly showing their fighters loading and firing mortars, without mentioning the children.

“OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGES!!1” aren’t needed to show the monstrous nature of the so-called Islamic State, as its followers commit a steady stream of atrocities, this latest one worse than the Benghazi Consulate attack in 2012.

And yes, I said this is worse, morally if nothing else. Those who died in the consulate attack were all grown men who’d volunteered to be there, whereas today’s dead were all children who were simply born to people living in Benghazi and who were murdered in what amounts to a terror bombardment.
