From the comfort of their homes

Charles is boiling in rage about a Daily Kos diary talking about how America needs to feel the damage inflicted on Iraq by getting "invaded" and "occupied".

It should be noted that LGF Watch doesn't support the idea that America should be invaded or occupied, however the reactions at the little green loony bin are just rich:

#12 looking closely
I hear Al Queda in Iraq is still looking for recruits.
Maybe this diarist ought to volunteer.

To address the thin gruel of his post, the Iraqis *WANT* the US military to be there. So why should we leave?

Actually, no. They don't.

Mexico. It's already happening, The invasion, the war torn streets, the destruction of entire neighborhoods, ect.

Of course it's totally obvious that the destruction those darn mexicuns are causing all over America, even in a neighborhood near you, is legitimately comparable with the carpet-bombing of Iraqi cities during the invasion, in which a few tens of thousands have died, especially that loads of Mexicans are productive members of American society and taking up jobs that even the lizardoid army would refuse to do. Can I get a "Nuke Mexico!" now?

Can we start with Berkeley?

As far as I am concerned, anyone who wants Berkeley is welcome to it. Glad to hand it over. Might even pay somebody to take it. What a waste of oxygen that crew is. They spout enough hot air to be responsible for "global warming" all by themselves!

No comment needed.

We need someone to come, kill all the violent terrorists in our country and rebuild our infrastructure at no cost to us?
I'm all for it.

Great, and I'm sure that the millions of Iraqi civilians who have lost innocent family members and are leading this kind of dandy life regard all of that as "no cost". Nice, eh?

We don't know what it's like to be in a war zone, prick? There were war zones in lower Manhattan, the Pentagon and over the skies of Pennsylvania on 9/11/01. Just don't question their patriotism.

Sure, 9/11 was bad enough, but comparing this one-time incident with a since-5-years-unresolved and ongoing conflict that has taken a few hundred-fold more lives and a much greater toll on the lives of the remaining population is a bit dishonest, no?
Now, in response to the Berkeley remark:

But you need to make sure that the People's Republic of San Francisco is included with Berkeley.

.. and don't you dare call them racist!

And on and on it goes. It's not as if they were really opposed to the Iraq war either. Deskchair warrior-ism at its best!

All the news that's fit to twist

Check out this sensationalist headline on LGF.

'Honor Killing' Epidemic in Britain

In a post which includes a devastating one line of commentary from the 'lizard clown' himself he states.

At least 17,000 women are victims every year.

You would conclude that 17,000 women are being killed in Britain every year because of the 'epidemic' of this barbaric practice.

The first line of the piece however (which Charles quotes) puts it into context.

Up to 17,000 women in Britain are being subjected to “honour” related violence, including murder, every year, according to police chiefs.

So that's not 17,000 murder victims then, despite what Charles misleadingly states in the headline and his one line post. Police estimate the number of killings at about 12, which itself is a horrific figure but not exactly an 'epidemic' as Charles states.

Now we here at LGFW believe that one victim who suffers because of an 'honor crime' is too many, but as a label 'honor crime' is useless and unrepresentative.

Obviously Charles highlights this on his blog in the context of painting Britain as being 'Islamized' and the dreaded Muslims importing their religious fanaticism, but in reality 'honor killing' is far from being a uniquely Islamic problem. Immigrants from South Asia are the most likely to be the victims of these crimes and many cases have involved Sikhs and Hindus. Even Christians have been found to indulge in the practice.

None of the world's major religions condone honor-related crimes. But those who are guilty have sometimes tried to justify their actions on religious grounds. I suppose this is good enough for bigots like Charles Johnson.
