The New York Times: American Sucks This past Saturday, the New York Times published an article, Behind Flurry of Killing, Potency of Hate, on the roots of monstrous evil. The article largely concerned a former paramilitary member of the Irish Republican Army, and as such was informative. But when it ventured into a larger discussion of evil, the moral confusion and contempt for America that characterize leftism were on display. The article contains a breathtaking paragraph that exemplifies both qualities. After noting that atrocities against groups of people are often the result of the dehumanization of the victimized group, the writer gives four such examples: The Hutus in Rwanda called the Tutsis cockroaches, the Nazis depicted the Jews as rats. Japanese invaders referred to their Chinese victims during the Nanjing massacre as chancorro, or subhuman. American soldiers fought barbarian Huns in World War I and godless gooks in Vietnam. This paragraph is noteworthy for its use of false moral equivalence to justify its anti-Americanism. *click below for more*
