John Pilger pilloried by Lars Vanderquist:

Lars Vanderquist:
JOHN PILGER SAID: "We need to find and publish our own Mahmoud Darwish, our own Arundhati Roy, our own Ahdaf Soueif, our own Eduardo Galeano, and quickly."
No, what we need to do is to stop giving credence to masochistic liberal boneheads who don't have the common sense to hate Muslims. But consider this weird circumstance: Muslim-bashing has become the province of European conservatives? How come European liberals don't have the moral sanity to hate Muslims? I see no reason why European liberals SHOULDN'T hate Muslims. Especially when you consider the fact that Muslims hate liberals.
John Pilger is a mush-headed Rousseauist liberal who's convinced that people are basically good. Especially Muslim peasants. Julie Burchill nailed these liberal idiots to the wall when she said: "Sleepwalking our way back into ill-sorted, dewy-eyed people-are-people personal politics is the last thing we need to set us up for the fight ahead. Come on, you liberals; don't give me the morbid pleasure of saying 'I told you so' again."
JOHN PILGER SAID: "Our language should be reclaimed, its Orwellian vocabulary reversed, its noble words such as 'democracy' and 'freedom' protected, and its power redeployed against all fundamentalisms, especially our own."
It's nauseating---and entirely predictable---to hear Pilger parroting Tariq Ali. Pilger & Ali seek to whitewash the Muslims by claiming that Europeans & Americans are just as fundamentalist as the Muslims. Which is obvious bullshit. The reason Muslims hate Europe & America is precisely because we're NOT fundamentalists. We're tolerant & multi-cultural & permissive & all those other decadent good things. A situation which has allowed the Muslim hordes to infest Europe.
MAHMOUD DARWISH SAID: "Palestinian people are in love with life. If we give them hope---a political solution---they'll stop killing themselves."
Gee, ya know, I really wish I could find it in my heart to sympathize with Palestinian Muslim-trash. But I can't. Maybe because the Palestinians have demonstrated to the world that they are human garbage. They supported Saddam Hussein in the American-Iraqi war. And then they celebrated the World Trade Center atrocity. I hate them. And I'm glad that Martin Amis has the moral common-sense to hate them.
