LR Brazilian Portuguese Translation picked up by Ace

From Eric Dondero:

Now this is very cool. One of the very top Right websites, Ace of Spades with 50,000+ visitors a day, linked to Libertarian Republican yesterday. I believe this was our first link ever from Ace. We've been linked before from NR, InstaPundit, and HotAir.com.

The link came for our article on the American media covering up the Muslim connection to the Brazilian shooting of 29 schoolchildren.

As Ace dryly notes, even the Muslim media overseas is talking of a strong Islamic connection to the shooting.

Al Aribiya, oddly enough, notes that the New York Times is pinning this on... Jehovah's Witnesses. Well, not really, but the New York Times buries his Islamism very much down-page and makes a muddle of his actual religious beliefs.

The link to LR was as follows:

While the New York Times expresses bafflement, Brazilian media is actually doing some reporting.

In an interview with Radio Band News, Rosilane Menezes, sister of gunman Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, said he was strange, reserved and without friends.

"He was so focused on things related to Islam and had let his beard grow long. He was weird, he was on the internet all day reading related issues and it was very strange, very secretive," she said.

Then a couple paragraphs later, Ace quotes LR again:

As that last blog notes:

The 36-paragraph AP article, makes no mention of his Islamic affiliation or beliefs.

36 paragraphs. And not any room to tell Americans (or anyone who doesn't speak Portuguese) what the Brazilians already know.

I speak fluent Portuguese (Spanish, Italian & French), and was able to quickly translate texts from Brazilian media reports.
