Homeland Security Dept. discourages GOP rhetoric on “Islamo-fascism,” but to no avail

Â
The bureaucrats ARGUE  that anti-Islamic references “may actually boost support for radicals among Arab and Muslim audiences by giving them a veneer of religious credibility or by causing offense to moderates.”
A spokesman for John McCain’s campaign scoffs at the admonition.

Good idea, let’s discourage the use of accurate descriptions. Government obfuscation is the way to go. Of course the record of saying nothing about Islamofascism ain’t all that hot either. Anyone remember the vitriol on 9/10/01? Me neither.

Bob: Are you inclined to disobey the dictates of the Department of Homeland Security? Do you not honor the Patriot Act and other federal mandates aimed at preventing the enemy from sapping our precious bodily fluids? Sorry, Bob, but I’m going to have to report you to the authorities. By the way, Bob, you’re under video surveillance at this very moment. Give us a wave and a cheerful “hi,” will ya?
