Lileks: "the new face of intolerance"
Sign of the times: you hear about a bombing of a Times Square recruitment office, and you assume its nutjob antiwar folks, not Al Qaeda. I wonder how the number of attacks on recruitment offices, however broadly you want to define attacks, stacks up against attacks on abortion providers in the last seven years. The standard meme always trots out clinic-bombing to suggest that domestic Christianist lunatics are a mirror-image of Islamist enthusiasms; if attacks on Army offices and attempts to block access exceed the number of similar instances directed against Planned Parenthood and the legal activities taking place within, will the talking points adjust to reflect the new face of intolerance?Posted by: Mike 2008-03-07 |
