The Illogic of Genocide

My memes tell me it's bad to kill women, children, and people who aren't in charge. Your memes tell you it's perfectly fine to go off and kill women, children, and people who aren't in charge...

Yes, we're in a meme war. Tuesday's attack was an attack on our memes. Our beliefs. What we stand for.

So, how will our memes fight back?

#1, we must change their memes. How do we do that? I guess with two ways. First, we kill their women and children. Why? Well, these are future hosts of their memes. And, we must get their memes to understand that if we get attacked, we will make their other meme holders pay and pay big.

Uh...

Uhm...

Putting aside the asinine "meme" talk, I'm just astonished that anyone could think to say that the first thing we should do in waging any kind of war (much less a "meme" war) is to kill, just murder, people not responsible in any way for the attacks. People, by definition, as innocent as those who died in the U.S. Our first act.

The rest of this " Talking Moose" article is...is...just despicable.

Our leaders should be speaking out against this sort of attiude, diverting it, setting a tone that doesn't disgrace the memories of the victims.

Instead, they seem bent on committing the very evil they so loudly condemn. Talk of genocide dishonors the memory of those innocents who were killed on Tuesday. It dishonors us all.

And lest you think this an isolated, anonymous Internet self-publisher, check out Ann Coulter's column:

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.

We should not tolerate calls to genocide. It is so bizarre to have to say that.
