Denmark Exports Soaring ( ROP and old Media sad )

" While Danish milk products were dumped in the Middle East, fervent rightwing Americans started buying Bang & Olufsen stereos and Lego. In the first quarter of this year Denmark’s exports to the US soared 17%.

The British writer Christopher Hitchens organised a buy-Danish campaign. Among the thousands of emails sent to Rose was one from an American soldier serving in Iraq. “He told me he was sitting in Iraq, watching a game of football and drinking a can of Carlsberg,” Rose said.

Rose is not the only person to have prospered from the crisis. Re-elected last year, Mr Rasmussen last week became Denmark’s longest-serving Liberal prime minister. Danish troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than this, his sceptical line on immigration appears to have been vindicated as other EU countries follow suit. "

This article is a good example of how twisted the discourse on this issue has become. Apparently, the Guardian’s viewpoint is that only “fervent rightwingers” could actually support Denmark’s battle for free speech—when it would be difficult to find a more “liberal” cause than the right to free expression.

The subheadline for the article’s another howler:

One year on, protagonists have few regrets despite deaths of more than 139 people.

As if the Danes should “regret” violence and murder they did not perpetrate.

Why do Guardian writers never seem to think the raging Muslim mobs need to regret anything?
