Nver heard of them. What terrorist attacks have they perpetrated?

If no one has heard of them, how can that be hypocritical?

The LRA can't be very Christian if they abduct people and use them as sex slaves.

He's no Christian, but he is a terrorist.

So, you dig up this one obscure example from Human Rights Watch and you try
to indict everyone on the right for not saying anything about it?

Are you really that desperate to smear the "right-wing" that you
will search the internet for obscure stories that few people have heard?
