The Lefty View of Life

It was all of a week ago that French citizen and Columbian Politician - Ingrid Betancourt - was released from six years of captivity in the hands of the Columbian FARC thugs.

As noted here ....

Today ... she's calling for the Columbian government to lighten up on the poor folks:

PARIS - Former hostage Ingrid Betancourt urged Colombia's president and others in her South American country Monday to tone down their "radical, extremist language of hate" toward the leftist rebels who held her captive for six years.

Betancourt, a politician with dual French-Colombian citizenship who was released last week in a Colombian military operation, skirted questions about her own political future in the interview with French radio. She had been campaigning for Colombia's presidency when she was captured in 2002.

The money quote :

"Uribe, and not only Uribe but all of Colombia, should also correct some things," she said.

"We have reached the point where we must change the radical, extremist vocabulary of hate, of very strong words that intimately wound the human being."

Of course! It's all about the feelings of the poor drug trafficking, kidnapping, murdering thieves and thugs !!

More ..... HERE ! if you can stomach it!

Let's see now ..... French....dual citizenship....stupid ...... lefty politics......

Where have I seen this before?
