Is a "deadly homicide car bomb attack" same as "deadly car bomb attack"

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Saw that headline on FOX NEWS and not being up on my ORWELL don't know the difference

[Eric J in MN]

1. Strangely enough, there is an implication that the driver killed

...himself when the say "homicide," since Fox News subsitutes that word for "suicide."

[LisaM]

2. The right has made a concerted effort to rename suicide bombings

to homicide bombings. The only place that's paid any attention is Faux, and even they don't always do it. However, with the recent rash, maybe it's back on the talking points bulletin.

3. Next it will be: "deadly islamofascist homicide car bomb attack" or

"deadly anti-jesus islamofascist homicide car bomb attack" or etc...

4. Reminds me of Murder-Death-Kill

From Demolition Man.

...and today in Baghdad there was a deadly Murder-Death-Kill car bomb attack...

[Anakin Skywalker]

5. It's part of the rightwing strategy

to reframe the arguments.

6. It's Faux News' boneheaded spin on suicide bombers.

They say the term should be "homicide bombers" because calling them "suicide bombers" gives them too much dignity or something. But it's totally stupid, of course, because "suicide" describes a specific method, while all bombers are, by definition, homicide bombers. That's why they do it. But lame and awkward and illogical spinning is what Faux does so well. MorAns.

7. I wonder how far our military recruiting would go if we asked for

suicide soldiers? How many U.S. gangs would adopt suicide drive by's as
part of their macho culture?

Suicide is a degree of personal committment I am not sure can be surpassed.
In this respect our 'evil doer enemy' has its heart in its fight. Fox does not want
to refer to that degree of committment on the part of our enemy.

Our double crossed National Guard is fighting in Iraq because our leadership is insane.

8. well in Syria it would be a 'militant bomb attack'

as reported on the M$M, implying the Syrians involved were in cahoots with the Syrian Government. Unlike in say the UK where every attack is immediately blamed on al-Queda cells. Interesting isn't it?

9. It is another angle on the suicide bomber but at the beginning

of the insurgency when Administration officials believed calling suicide bombers "Homicide Bombers" would turn the people against them.

Fucking retards.
