Government Response to Austin Attack

[Bullet1987]

It'll be interesting to see if people who don't like the IRS will be demonized as terrorists are a result of the plane crash in Austin, Texas. Many people are anti-IRS, but most won't do something like what this guy did. Methinks the corporate power dealers are getting worried, hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

1. Yes, those poor, profiled, anti-government nutcases...

It's going to be OPEN SEASON on people who openly threaten government employees with violence!

This wouldn't happen in Sarah Palin's America! You'd be able to violently threaten anyone you wanted!

:sarcasm:

2. Except Christists, anti-choice murderers, gay-bashing bigots, murderous cops,

corporate CEOs, and reich-wing propagandists.

Anyone to the left of Caribou Barbie is fair game...

3. Who said anything about Sarah Palin? Except you...

You DO realize there are liberals and other populists who don't like the IRS right?

4. OK, let me spell it out for you then.

Yes, you are being paranoid. No, the "corporate puppet masters" are not behind this random act of senseless violence by an isolated nutjob. And yes, I feel if you threaten people who work for the government with violence, you should be punished--just as you should be locked up if you threaten ANYONE who works for ANYTHING with violence.

Otherwise, feel free to join the Tea Partiers.

5. Why do you keep reverting back to the Tea Partiers?

I've made no comment about them. I said, there are anti-Fed and anti-IRS people of various political beliefs...not just on the Right. Populists actually can be liberal AND conservative.

6. No response in your failed attempt to hijack my thread?

7. Anti-government, anti-tax types are all RWers.

In the nineties they were called the Militia movement, now they're called teabaggers.

Fuck all them all.

8. Anti-government yea maybe

But the Right do not have a monopoly on populism.
