Meanings
-
(not-comparable) Of or relating to terrorism.
This controversy is quite similar to the red-tagging brouhaha exploded against me by Gabriela and its ilk in the CPP-NPA-NDF legal front. In a Facebook post, I had warned Liza Soberano of the deceptive tactics of the group in recruiting showbiz icons into the communist terrorist insurgency. I was very specific in that post, saying the advice is being issued by a father, a brother or an uncle not wanting to have his daughter, sister or niece led down the road to perdition. The seeming mouthpieces of the CPP hiding in Rappler, Inquirer and Philippine Star suddenly had a heyday slamming me for allegedly red tagging the actress as well as Miss Universe Catriona Gray.
2021, Antonio Parlade Jr., “To catch a commie and friends by their mouths”, in The Manila Times:2002 January 29, George Walker Bush, "2002 State of the Union Address".
States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.
