I clipped just the title because this is the second time I've seen the term "Radical" used to describe peace activists. (Possibly for this bunch it may be warranted as they claim they will use force to defend themselves.)
The first time I saw the term used was by O'Reily on Fox in which he was referring to CodePink.
Funny Enough when I went back to wbz to clipp this , it had been removed.It wasn't in the site search either. I had to back page to find it again.( Not the first time either, they did the same thing with the article on Chenney fallling asleep during a meeting on the Cal wildfires)
I am wondering if this is going to become a trend with the media, labeling peace activists "Radical extremists"

We use words to invoke certain images of the same things. i.e. "radical extremists" or "freedom fighters"
another might be "lying mass murdering bastard" or
"Mr. President"- do we get it yet?
Anything that stands as "anti-antidisestablishmentarianism" falls under American media definition as Radicals or Terrorists and the like. Basically, if you exercise the freedoms we are supposed to have you are crazy and can't be trusted. Hmmm........
Probably wearing a towel on your head makes you a terrorist- even if you just came out of the shower and are a Catholic.
Don't believe "everything" you read or see, If you weren't there, you don't know,
Cause you can't even trust the media here- My Dad sai...

I believe your Dad. I have found out more about what is really going on here on clipmarks than I do checking four or five different news sites.
Frankly, it makes me nervous when I catch an article on wbz and when I go back a hour later, it's gone? Or that all my local papers are owned by the New York times, and all have the same slant.
