Apparently, Daphne Caruana Galizia has taken it upon herself to lead a crusade against those who she claims advocate hatred, obviously referring to the emerging rightist movements.

Last Sunday she wrote an article about Arlette Baldacchino and Norman Lowell. The following is a list of adjectives and phrases directed by this gentle lady to these two people: Rabid racist, vicious crank, sick, hideous Nazi group that advocates violence, murder and racism, pretty head sat on a very short body, nasty racist, bitter and full of hate and fear, preaches criminal philosophy, dangerous nut-case, sells hate-creed, deluded racist, sick perverts, fascists and racists, perverted logic, ignorance of culture geography etc., dangerous stupidity, foamed and frothed, stupid and uneducated, Lowell’s ignorance, Arlette’s pathetic sight, sour and twisted.

Now am I missing something here because if this language does not verge on hatred then what does? Shame on Daphne!
