Faux news: "We didn't kill enough Sunnis in the early going"(Untermenschen)

[IChing]

"What if the tactical mistake we made in Iraq was that we didn't kill enough Sunnis in the early going to intimidate them and make them so afraid of us they would go along with anything? Wasn't the survival of Sunni men between the ages of 15 and 35 the reason there was an insurgency and the basic cause of the sectarian violence now?"

And Nobody Cares...

...about chemical weapons, do they? For the ninth time in recent weeks WMDs are used by the terrorists in Iraq:
BAGHDAD - A suspected al-Qaida in Iraq suicide bomber smashed a truck loaded with TNT and toxic chlorine gas into a police checkpoint in Ramadi on Friday, killing at least 27 people -- the ninth such attack since the group's first known use of a chemical weapon in January.

But, just like women stoned to death in Iran, or the mass starvation of the people of Zimbabwe, these horrors are greeted with the silence that racists reserve for the less-than-humans who behave in an uncivilized way. Their unspoken attitude is, well, what can you expect of these untermenschen?

The term "Untermensch" was utilized repeatedly in writings and speeches directed against the Jews, the most notorious example being a 1935 SS publication with the title "Der Untermensch" which contains an antisemitic tirade sometimes considered to be an extract from a speech held by Heinrich Himmler. In the pamphlet The SS as an Anti-bolshevist Fighting Organization, Himmler wrote in 1936: We shall take care that never again in Germany, the heart of Europe, will the Jewish-Bolshevistic revolution of subhumans be able to be kindled either from within or through emissaries from without.

And many said that we cannot compare these people to Nazis when they use their terms.

1. Now the Iraq War is about ethnic cleansing, I'm glad Fox News straightened

...that out for us.

[Xipe Totec]

2. Because, as long as we kill more of them,

than they kill of us, WE WIN!

Yay!

3. So the US is to be involved in ethnic cleansing, FOX? nt

4. It gets worse if you read Glenn Greenwald's article in the link n/t

[Kagemusha]

5. That's right-wingers accusing LIBERALS of thinking in those terms.

While speaking the terms themselves in the course of doing so obviously.

Just to be clear, because I think Glenn's points are good (as his usually are).

6. So...Liberation became occupation; freedom became genocide...

What the hell is the matter w/these people?...

[Leopolds Ghost]

7. If we give them oil, they'll out-BREED us, und...Mein Fuhrer! Ve must nut have an oil-shaft gap!

[IChing]

8. Yes, the nazis are back and are shameless using their own terms

I like the Dr.Stranglelove reference. What I think is alarming is the increasing
use of this language. It is not just a "macaca" moment that is said in jest,
but an increasing unveiling of who these people really are.
