India should hand over land for peace to Islam

Clearly that is the best and only workable strategy. Purge New Delhi or Bangalore or Hyderabad of all Hindus and make it an Islamic city. Terrorism will all end immediately as a result.

This is the usual sarcastic propaganda lie, intended to discredit any approach to dealing with these disorders other than the mindless, brutal, and self-destructive approach preferred by neoconservatives. Such propaganda comprises a complex of lies because simple and straightforward lies are too easily discredited.

It might still work for nutjobs like Rush Limbaugh, but here it's just a subject for the analysis of fascist misinformation and disinformation techniques.

I'll leave the detailed deconstruction of such lies to the interested reader.

Thanks for playing, neocon.
