She ran her mouth for five minutes on how the librul media was only naming domestic radical wingnuts and Muslims as probable perpetrators, that they never mentioned the possibility of LEFTist extremists.
For once, the wingnut host challenged the point, saying that the last extremists on the Left he remembers were back in the '60s, and he asked her whom on the recent Left would she cite. She couldn't come up with anybody. The wingnut co-host helpfully named the Unibomber, then threw in as radicals the Occupy movement. She yipped for joy and said, "THANK you, yes, those Occupy people!1 And then those Environmentalist people are always doing CRAZY THINGS!1" And she griped repetiously that the media should be naming "ALL THREE" possibilities: Right, Muslims, AND LEFT.
A couple of years ago even Tweety mused, (paraphrasing) "When we think of radical extremists/violent, it's not so much on the Left. They don't do that sort of thing so much."
Yeah, them scary Occupiers.

Duh...there hasn't been a significant militant left movement since VietNam ended. Why...'cuz we're socialists, remember? We like people. It's the anti-socialists who are also borderline socio/psycho paths who act on their violent fantasies that we have to worry about. Of course, that that could describe members of AlQaeda or any number of similar domestic Republican front groups.
