CNN Compares Palestinian Terrorists to Dalai Lama
Posted by Dave Blount at August 4, 2008 10:31 AM
It's not guesswork at CNN. Look how cleverly Christiane Amanpour slips her pro-terrorist propaganda into a piece about the Dalai Lama:
Our visit coincided with the events that commemorate each March 10, the date the Dalai Lama fled Tibet on horseback in 1959. He managed to evade the Chinese Communist forces, disguised as a soldier and escaping at night. The somber remembrance is a little like what the Palestinians do every year. They call it al-Nakba, or "catastrophe," which marks 1948 when they lost much of their land as the state of Israel was founded.
Media Backspin notes a few of the many reasons the Tibetan and Palestinian movements are hardly comparable:
1) Tibetans don't seek China's destruction, or threaten Western interests.
2) Tibetans haven't launched a campaign of suicide bombings, rockets, or kidnappings.
3) The Tibetan independence movement is neither allied nor co-opted by foreign outsiders like Iran, Al-Qaida, Syria, Hezbollah, or the Muslim Brotherhood.
4) Thanks to China's press restrictions, Tibet doesn't even get a fraction of the media coverage the Palestinians get.
As V the K adds, Tibetans haven't pledged to destroy Western Civilization, nor did they dance in the streets on 9/11.
Nonetheless, the moonbat media would like us to equate Muslim terrorists with Buddhist pacifists. Michael Moore compared Muslim terrorists to the Minutemen. Then Brian Williams compared them to our Founding Fathers. Now this. Next, Rolling Stone will put Osama bin Laden on the cover wearing a crown of thorns.
