So is he a crazy “shooter” or a terrorist? \u00a0 Does it matter what we call him? \u00a0This is the question on all the Sunday talk shows – but yesterday . . .<\/p>\n

Listen to\u00a0Cristina Page<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a0Yesterday at 12:58pm)<\/p>\n

Interesting how the media is characterizing this premeditated act of terror against Planned Parenthood as committed by a “calm and crazy” person whereas the attacks in Paris, including Charlie Hebdo (another workplace targeted for political reasons), were carried out by terrorists who were only characterized as “calm”. The media’s attempt to make the string of fatal attacks against clinics isolated attacks by insane individuals, whereas the string of fatal vigilante attacks by Muslim extremists are considered political acts of terror, is because the media fears being seen as taking sides in the abortion debate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the first post I read about this topic – also from Christina Page. \u00a0Thank you Christina for reminding us all of the importance of words!<\/p>\n

The media needs to change this language immediately. They are referring to him as a shooter. He is a terrorist. This language needs to be corrected from the inception (I think behind the scenes so as to not make that the issue). If they start naturally referring to him that way, that’s what we want and that’s what it will be. All of the messengers should just not sway from this language. Terror was understood right from the start in Paris, this is the very same. One officer killed, four officers shot and 4 civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s gratifying to hear so many establishment pundits, right and left,\u00a0advocating the conscious use of the word “terrorist” \u00a0but if it weren’t for the advocacy from women like Christina and others, who knows how much longer it would have taken\u00a0to get them to do it?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
