→Obama Pals Around with Another Terrorist: rmv link to deleted user
::: I don't understand. I genuinely don't understand. My edit to the Obama page on this subject has been deleted as being "inappropriate and silly". What is the distinction between a link with the Weather Underground and a link with the IRA? Why are inverted commas placed around “terrorism” (like this) when discussing the latter organisation and not when deriding Bill Ayres's mob. I suppose it's different -- and less significant -- when Obama's pals are blowing up Irish folk rather than Americans. --[[User:KeithJoseph|KeithJoseph]] 02:42, 8 November 2008 (GMT)

KeithJoseph, you have hit on a real conundrum. Apparently the 'war on terror' is really only be a war on islamofacists. IRA terrorists are treated as heroes in the US, they are Grand Marshals at parades, get to rub shoulders with US politicians and are granted political asylum. Several times I have been in 'Irish' bars in NY or Boston and seen the 'little donation tin' passed around. Not to mention organisations like NORAID. So it is no suprise that a mainly American site is touchy about this subject. --[[nik77uk]] 13:21, 10 November 2008 (GMT)
