This would be funny if it were a featured diary on Daily Kos. Unfortunately, it’s a response to Obama adviser John Brennan’s effort to reach out to “moderate” terrorist elements and it's too close to the truth.
American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Rubin offers a scorecard to identify the people we should be talking to:
Hezbollah: The moderates are the ones who make car bombs only out of midsize vehicles rather than SUVs or trucks.
Hamas: Moderates still believe in annihilating Israel, but they refrain from advocating throwing all the Jews into the sea because of environmental impact; they propose burying some instead.
Taliban: Ask Colin Powell. It’s been almost nine years since he spoke of moderate Taliban, so his definition might be ready by now. But, generally, moderate Taliban dilute the acid somewhat before they toss it into unveiled women’s faces.
Al Qaeda: The moderates are the ones who would have taken down only one World Trade Center tower, rather than both.
