"A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, DC at lunch... might end up knocking out a few government employees," one article reads...

The edition also includes "The Ultimate Mowing Machine," which describes how to use a pickup truck "as a mowing machine, not to mow grass, but mow down the enemies of Allah...

The first edition included an article called "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."

I didn't forget - I didn't think it was worth a voter poll. But I wanted to mimic your own post about right-wingers, since this is related to that. I did take the time to correct some punctuation, though.

Congratulations, you've just equivocated "Right Wingers" with "Al-Qaeda."

Fairly certain that's not actually the point you were trying to make.

Comparison:

• Americans that hate muslims, boycott a soup company.
• Muslims that hate Americans, massacre them at random.

Yes, I'm elated that Americans don't model their behavior after Al Qaeda. Muslim bigots can boycott soup companies all they want. Non-violent freedom of expression is a wonderful thing. I don't expect any Americans will strap on a suicide bomb vest and charge into the Campbell's factory to blow up the employees. Given the choice between these two options, I'll take the soup boycott.

Only because you are once-again suffering from that liberal malady of trying to stuff words into my mouth that won't fit. Perhaps you should think a little more before allowing that impulse to take control of your brain.

The other possibility is that I'm making a point about how not all right-wingers are bigots, just as all muslims are not terrorists. Did that thought pass across your cerebrum, before you went for the knee-jerk word-stuffing option?

You have been chewed up and spit out on a couple of threads in the last couple of days

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

That would be "equated," not "equivocated."

"Equivocation is classified as both a formal and informal logical fallacy. It is the misleading use of a term with more than one meaning or sense (by glossing over which meaning is intended at a particular time)." - from Wikipedia

Not nuthing from nuthin, but have you considered that you are getting the same post attention as Lucky?
