#1 They don't like any "T" words. For instance they won't call Kerry a Traitor, or Jimmah Carter a Twit, or Clinton a Twathound.
It's far to much to ask for members of the RoP to be called Terrorists.

#4 I hereby vote that we change the designation of MSM - Main Stream Media to TM - Terrorist Media. I mean, when you think about it, aren't they their good buddies and allies to begin with?
