When Sarcastic Headlines Become Reality

When we jokingly referred to Palestinian terrorists as activists the other day we had no idea we'd be setting the standard for the lamestream media. It wasn't intended to make light of the horrific acts perpetrated by the Islamic monsters, rather than highlight how these bottom-feeding scum are viewed by the media.

So this morning I heard a CBS Radio News report where the words "Hamas activists" were used and nearly drove off the road. Yet it appears to be in widespread use.

On cue, here are some headlines this morning:

Palestinian forces arrest dozens of Hamas activists

Video: News Update: Palestinian security forces arrest more than 100 Hamas activists

In a story from Bloomberg News (surely King Mikey has issued a style mandate, no?):
Palestinian security services arrested about 150 Hamas activists in the West Bank after the settler killings, Hamas said in an e-mailed statement today.
Depressing. Check how many hits show up when you search for Hamas activists.

Just a refresher: Hamas is a designated as a terrorist group by our own State Department. Ironically, that same state department is paying for the Ground Zero Mosque imam to travel the world on our dime, the same guy who refuses to condemn Hamas.

Of course when it comes to mischaraterizing mainstream conservative group, the media wastes no time calling them extremists.
