Mister Charlie at Daily Pundit takes a cheap shot at Carol Mosely-Braun.

You know. The first African-American woman elected to the United States Senate since. . . sorry, the only African-American woman ever elected to the United States Senate. Go Illinois. Die (Chief) Illini(wek).

Gee, wonder why he would choose to mention her?

He links to an article at Media Research for the slam. Their latest analysis, from April, goes into the alleged Jenin massacre. When they finally allowed journalists and human rights observers in, the Israelis pointed out Palestinian bodies with guns close by, "proving" that the dead were combatants.

Journalists generally don't carry equipment to test for powder residue, or dust weapons for prints. Doubt they'd think to pick up a gun and make sure it could actually, you know, fire. Or even had a magazine in it, for that matter.

Just saying is all.

Not that I trust the Palestinians either.

Colonial struggles ain't pretty. The Europeans, with more recent experience in these things, tend to take a more nuanced approach. Conservatives in the U.S. still use mau-mau to describe such trivialities as faculty moving from one ivy league university to another.

Perhaps speaking to someone who was in Kenya, white, black or Indian, would teach them something.

No. No, I don't suppose it would.
