New fascism reflected in Charlie Hebdo Paris shootings : Comments
By Mal Fletcher, published 8/1/2015We must stare down this new form of fascism with the same clear thinking and bold resolve our forebears demonstrated in their battles with twentieth century varieties.

Another attack in France, this time one dead a policewoman, and a
policeman wounded in a one man attack. No direct connection to the Charlie killings. So it goes on and on. Posted by Bazz, Thursday, 8 January 2015 9:24:47 PM

Latest attack in France

Jay of Melbourne writes;
“I too can understand why the Muslim warrior calmly walked up to a wounded, surrendering Gendarme and blew his brains out” could just have easily been written; 'I too can understand why the Muslim warrior calmly walked up to a wounded, surrendering Muslim Gendarme and blew his brains out' But it wasn't. Nor was that little fact mentioned in the article he linked to which posted less than 3 hours ago and the writer would well have known about it. Two police officers died in Paris today, Ahmed Merabet and Franck Brinsolaro. Both lost their lives in the line of duty and the service of their community. Note the singular. There are those, including the gunmen, who strive to force the plural on to us, to claim we inhabit separate communities, ones that need to be defended from the 'other'. There are those who will use this tragedy for exactly the same intent. Sobering times. Posted by SteeleRedux, Thursday, 8 January 2015 9:51:02 PM

Why France? Why now?
Oh, that's right. France just 1) recognised Palestinian statehood and 2) called for an end to the Russian sanctions. Can't have that now, can we! Better send in a professional hit-squad (where did they get their training again?) to pull those froggies back into line. Posted by halduell, Thursday, 8 January 2015 11:22:36 PM

JoM,
The answer to your question is just colossal moral vanity. A narcissism so deep and so pervasive in our cultural and political elites that atrocity after atrocity only strengthens their resolve to further deny reality. Of course, to admit anything else would be to challenge their whole world view that our culture is so worthless it should be drowned by mass third world immigration. People die and we live in terror for their vanity. Disgusting. To be honest, and tasteless, at least the people murdered were mad left-wingers. It is sad but not surprising that their chickens are coming home to roost. Posted by dane, Thursday, 8 January 2015 11:43:24 PM

yours is exactly the kind of insidious fascism Mal Fletcher alludes to. You're in your element!
