The reason I am shouting “Nothing to see here!”, at the top of my lungs is, I am really afraid you are going to take a close look at my friends’ writings and discover why Mr. Breivik loved them so much.

The horror, tragedy and seeming madness of the killing spree in Norway are almost impossible to imagine. There is a temptation to focus on the mourning and solidarity with people in Norway and to resist analysis as something cold and foreign to the hum…

The contrast between Norway’s response to the brutal terror attacks last Friday and that of the United States after 9/11 couldn’t be starker. Imagine if President Bush had instead said, like Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg,…

The deaths, terror, injuries, pain and loss that Norwegians suffered as a result of the terrorist attack outweigh, by far, any political considerations. It matters little what political beliefs are held by deranged murderers that put so little a value …

At a simple ceremony at Oslo’s cathedral, a characteristically austere building surrounded by flowers and candles left by mourners, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg seemed to express the country’s mood of defiant grief. “You should know that we’re crying with you. We feel for you… I am proud of living in a country that has managed […]

Preparing to massacre his fellow Norwegians, Anders Berhing Breivik found it impossible to illegally acquire a machine gun.Having failed in that effort, he purchased a Ruger Mini-14 which he described as “the most “army like” rifle allowed in Norway, a…

I’ve never been a big fan of Michael Coren. Actually, to a point, I think he’s an utter asshole. But his recent comments on the shooting and bombings in Norway puts the man in a class of his own:Tragic irony. The teenagers at the socialist youth camp o…

Via Warren Kinsella, Michael Coren says, well, I will just quote him verbatim: Tragic irony. The teenagers at the socialist youth camp on the Norwegian island who were victims of terror had just demanded that Israel remove the separation fence – the …

The right can now play it down as the work of a lone nut. If he was a brown Muslim, well, let’s just say they would have portrayed him as typical. Take a look here and read the comments, you can see both arguments at play on same page (with a side of s…
Continue readingScott's DiaTribes: An observation on the Norway bombings/shootings
As you’ve no doubt heard, a far right extremist gunman who holds anti-immigration, anti-Muslim views decided to vent his wrath on the governing Socialist Party in Norway yesterday, blowing up a government building and then massacring scores of young socialist teenager members on an island. The death toll is horrific.
I’m waiting for those on the extreme right of the blogosphere/political spectrum to declare Canada should be deporting all Norwegians; you know; paint the whole nation of Norway with one prejudicial brush as they do with Muslims, and as they did yesterday before the actual facts came out. The rush to presuming it was a) Al-Queda, and b) declaring […]

I might have more to say about this later, but for now I just want to highlight the idiocy of some on the right of the spectrum here in Canada. Yesterday, when the news broke about the tragedy in Norway, the response by many in the Twitterverse, blogosphere and in the comments sections of news […]
