Somewhere, there has got to be a memo in GOP Stationery laying all this out. This is how the Republicans have asked the Mainsteam Media to frame the issues:
The GOP-Mandated MSM / Wire Service Book of Standards, Practices & Style
Terrorists-- Muslims who kill American civilians on foreign soil for a political purpose.
Radicals-- Non-Muslims who kill Americans on our own soil for a political purpose.
A Lone crazy acting alone-- Muslims who kill Americans on our own soil for a political purpose.
Domestic Terrorist-- Something that only existed when Clinton was president.
Insurgents-- Kill American Soldiers.
Militants-- Kill Jews.
Militant Extremists-- Kill America's non-Jewish allies.
Freedom-Fighters and/or resistance fighters-- Kill America's enemies.
Axis of Evil-- Countries that only Halliburton and Carlyle Group can legally do business with.
American Soldiers-- Our brave fighting men and women.
Troops-- Our dead soldiers.
A Few Bad Apples-- People who get caught following Alberto Gonzales' orders.
Nuclear Proliferation-- something less dangerous than Valerie Plame.
Jews-- Fuck 'em, they don't vote for us anyway. Let's get the popcorn and watch what happens if we let them go to-to-toe with the Arab world while we "support" them.
Stem Cells-- The modern day version of Sea Monkeys.
Pro-Family-- policies that force families to have more children than they can afford to care for, while reducing the likelihood that those families can obtain health insurance or a living wage.
