Find and Replace: War on Terror

A quote from David Selbourne, author of The Losing Battle with Islam, from Dennis Prager on January 3rd.

“Don’t challenge or provoke [Hitler]; it will only cause more trouble. Don’t be [a Nazi-phobe], or you’ll drive moderate [Germans] into the arms of extremists. [Churchill] should be stopped now before he does more harm with his unilateralism to our relations with our allies.”

Replace the above with [the terrorists] [an Islamophobe] [Muslims] [Bush] and you'll get an everyday quote from anyone in the liberal media or Democrat party.

I love this technique of taking a quote and replacing a few key words to demonstrate the clear bias against one position or another. As Mr Selbourne makes clear through satire, this type of language would have been unacceptable during World War II, but it’s somehow acceptable now?
