Gee... another example proving Napolitano correct: Right-wing terrorism *IS* on the rise

[scheming daemons]

White Supremacist at holocaust museum....

Pro-Life nutcase shoot abortion doctor at Wichita church....

Gun-nut shoots three cops in Pittsburgh because "Obama wants to take his guns away"...



The little Timothy McVeigh wannabees are crawling out of the woodwork... just like Napolitano's report said they would.


She should have NEVER apologized for that report and should make a public statement saying that she is standing by the original report.

1. "We're sorry that we upset you, Mr. Rightwinger!"

When will "liberals" realize how ultimately fatal that attitude is?

2. That "pro-life" nutcase was also a white supremacist. n/t

3. Isn't that the truth?

Too bad she can't go on camera screaming "I told you so!"

4. They should be shipped down to Gitmo. Our penitentiaries can't possibly contain them safely.

5. Not her fault for apologizing---its an automatic reflex at this point

for anyone in the Demcratic Party "leadership". They should just pre-record a generic apology; save em all the trouble of going through the whole ritual every time.

6. Oh,silly, don't you GET IT??? Roeder and von Brunn aren't terrorists.

They are Lone Nuts (TM). There's no terrorism here. Now run along.

7. Yes. It should get worse for a while, yet.

Or, to run down Wikipedia's list of "key criteria," we have: violence; psychological impact and fear; performed for political goals; usually deliberately targeting non-combatants; and unlawfulness. That's terrorism.

Things are bound to get worse because a number of factors have aligned to produce these poor creatures. They are out of political power, they are suffering economically, their propaganda sources have not been shut down, and they are faced with having to admit that the actual practice of their ideology has ruined them. That last thing will never happen. Instead, they may burrow deeper into delusion and disbelief, or change ideologies, or pop off and start shooting something.

I can think of two immediate and obvious paths which can be taken to reduce this problem.

The first is to figure out a way to stop scaring the hell out of these people. They're very easily frightened. Somehow we need to tune their delusions so that they do not feel so threatened. Send 'em Christmas cards, or maybe figure out a way to reign in the right-wing crank organs. Society will have to intervene by itself if the Constitution prevents the government from doing it.

The other way is, strangely enough, to improve the social safety net so that these people (and a whole lot of others) do not hit rock bottom. That has to include improvements in health care, welfare, unemployment, and, as that jerk Adkisson proved, food stamps.

I'm sure there are plenty of other approaches to take, but that's what I think is important.

8. I still can't stand her...

Anybody who supports tighter controls on the Canada-US border is an enemy to all Canadians and to all aboriginals.
