He (Fisk) is so sure that everything is the fault of the US and the West (and oh yes, the Zionist Conspiracy) that when a bunch of Afghans beat him and robbed him in December 2001, he naturally blamed himself as a westerner and absolved the Afghans of all blame... Nadine, Fisk has a streak of Geraldo in him, no doubt, and that particular column showed it in all its self-important bluster. (Sounded like an ordinary robbery to me). But the idea of Them Hating Us For Being Us is not only to be found amongst the opposition: Having successfully introduced the novel legal concept of the "hate crime," progressive opinion has now taken it to dizzying new heights: the hate-me crime. In a traditional hate crime, you beat someone up not just for his fake Rolex but because you hate him on the basis of his race, creed or color. With the new hate-me crime, you beat someone up because you hate him on the basis of his race, creed or color... Mark Steyn news.independent.co.uk Americans are asking, why do they hate us?

They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other. GW Bush whitehouse.gov
