Meet the New Brownshirts

Earlier this week I wrote a blog entry (The “terrorist sympathizers” of Democratic Underground) mentioning the warblog Hundredpercenter Newswires and the blogger Malachy Joyce who believes David Allen, who runs DU, should be arrested for treason. It now appears Joyce is actively attempting to get the Ministry of Homeland Security to investigate Allen and DU for comments appearing on the site’s forum. Here’s a letter supposedly sent to the Ministry (and Mark W. Everson of the IRS, CIA director Porter J. Goss, and FBI director Robert S. Mueller):




November 10th, 2004
Secretary Tom Ridge
Homeland Security
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, SW
Washington, DC. 20500

Dear Secretary Ridge,

I am writing to you as an American citizen that is deeply concerned by a subversive site on the internet. This site needs to be investigated for actively sympathizing with foreign terrorists and inciting violence against U.S. troops abroad. I felt it is my duty to report this internet site that may be engaged with supporting terrorism /anti-government activities. The name of the site is Democraticunderground.com.

I believe in freedom of speech and I consider myself to be an open-minded person. I recognize that many in our country are against the Iraq war and although I do not share that view, that is their right. However, I am not tolerant of extremist propaganda that is preaching death to our troops. This site is more than offensive and far exceeds the norms of freedom of speech.

It is an aggressive, hateful group of people that pose a danger to our country. There are many radical Islamic sites, as you well know, that promote terrorism and are used to recruit their followers. I feel this site, DemocraticUnderground, is very similar in kind.

It has the potential to incite their cohorts to act out against troops or cause harm to our fellow citizens. This site also accepts so-called donations that truly warrant a thorough investigation by the IRS. I am enclosing a page with some excerpts from this site and the webmaster’s name and address.

I thank you in advance.

Respectfully,

Anonymous
