Mr. Watson the exact quote is "eg Iraq is a bug zapper for Muslims".....although a couple of periods are missing, I presume Mr. Beef Jerkey was stating "e.g." which, as you know stands for exempli gratia utilized to show an example ... getitwriteonline.com In this case if he was showing an example of someone else's use of term, it shouldn't be ascribed to him unless he wants to claim it as his view. I don't know if he first crafted the term, but he seemed to be claiming it as an example....but the eg means something here. it looks like he was ascribing the statement to someone on the right wing..
