What's in a name?

I was under the impression that the slaughter, beheadings, rape, and murder spreading through Syria and Iraq etc. was the work of Islamic terrorists. But today the administration downgraded those folks and are now calling them only criminal anarchists. Isn't that what they called Abbie Hoffman?

It reminds me of an old joke by, forgive me, Jackie Mason. Mason reminded his audience that according to the Talmud, adultery and eating bread on Passover are the same sin. He said, "I've tried them both and I can't see the comparison."

I confess I don't know what this post is referring to. Are these official designations?

But I can't believe anyone would ever really called Abbie Hoffman that. She was just adorable in Sleepless in Seattle and lately she's had a career resurgence with Transparent and Obvious Child.
