What WHAT?!

[ceebeegee]

Crashing your plane into an IRA building and killing someone is "inappropriate"?!

Daughter of anti-IRS psycho defends her father. "I don't agree with what he did but..."

You know what this language is? It's the language I despise that is beloved of terrorist-apologists everywhere. I call it It's Terrible But. You heard it all after 9-11. (In fact I heard it THAT DAY, on NY1 and in articles in the Times.) You hear it after every suicide bombing in Israel that murders old people sitting down to Passover. There's always some Larger Struggle that somehow makes killing innocent people okay.

It's terrible, but this is what happens when you occupy a country.

It's terrible, but what else are people going to do when their back is to the wall?

It's terrible but let me mouthe some more meaningless insincere non-acknowledgements that someone committed a violent crime and killed people and desperately try to find some way to justify what they did. Let me try to shoehorn some greater significance to what he did, because otherwise I'd have to admit my dad was a psycho and most importantly what he did was wrong.

Stay in Norway, honey. No one wants you here (and I doubt they want you there). American "heroes" do not kill other innocent Americans. Your father was a common terrorist and a murderer.

I was literally just going over to my journal to rant about this. I can't tell you how much this pissed me off.

When I saw the headline, I was really hoping it was a case of bereaved family member, in shock, cornered for an interview. But no. A case of the apple not falling so far from the crazy-tree.

You know, I was thinking that as well--like, she's stunned, she's in the same position as the parents of the Columbine killers, as in someone they still love and who also died did something horrible and that's incredibly difficult to reconcile. But she sounds as though she's fully in command of her faculties. I cannot get past the fact that she ended with, presumably, her most important statement--that she agrees with his message. Not "I'm so sorry to the family of the man he murdered." But "he was essentially right." It reminds me of the mealy-mouthed crap you hear from CAIR.

And WTF is she doing in NORWAY if she hates government and taxation so much?
