America's Most Beloved Terrorists
How Hollywood Makes Killing Countrymen Cool
 


The hateful, self-loathing and oft-incorrect Sarah Palin and her wild ranting about Barack Obama's "terrorist connections" got our colleague Cord Jefferson thinking about pop culture, language and an easily manipulated public.

Thus, Cord decided to highlight this phenomenon with a non-comprehensive list of the American public's most favorite terrorists. You'll notice that many of the people after the jump have been described as "freedom fighters" (what a cute little shift in terms) by the men portraying them, all of whom are handsome and white.

I'm so over Palin after her hypocritical attacks on Obama's loose affiliation with Ayers + the revelation of her own association with the Alaskan Independence Party.

She claims to be an "outsider" + a "maverick" but she certainly knows how to play the game of scheming, finger-pointing, + lying.

Hopefully the Troopergate thing breaks wide open relatively close to voting day.

Wait wait wait…William Wallace? The man was defending his own country from an invading nation. Sure he crossed the border and attacked an English town or two, but by that definition all the Americans who invaded germany during WWII were terrorists.

Technically, not true.

Edward Longshanks had some viable claim to Scotland at the time, so did the Bruce's and the Bailial's (Spelling) so in that way he was a "terrorist". He also started his campaign without the "sanction" of the elite. (Well he kinda was the elite, but you know what I mean)
