Russ Feingold accuses President Bush of using politically incorrect language. The term “Islamic fascists” is offensive to Muslims, so it is to be avoided, Feingold the Scold insists.

“We must avoid using misleading and offensive terms that link Islam with those who subvert this great religion or who distort its teachings to justify terrorist activities,” Feingold said Tuesday in a speech to the Arab American Institute on Capitol Hill.

The Wisconsin senator, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, said the label “Islamic fascists” makes no sense and doesn’t help the U.S. effort to combat terrorism.

“Fascist ideology doesn’t have anything to do with the way global terrorist networks think or operate,…”

Feingold is mistaken. They are fascists—motherfucking Islamofascists, to be precise—and no U.S. senator or EU representative will get me to stop saying so.
