The ' Al Qaeda ' Among US
VetVoice:


" What's al Qaeda? It's a ghost enemy, and has only grown, that has been elevated to some sort of major world force over the past decade {bin Laden and friends are in constant smile in their caves and thanking those who elevated them, every day, giving him everything he wanted}. Anyone who espouses to criminal terrorism of others and wants the stature that name now brings to other like minded individuals or groups take the label readily. Those that commit violent criminal terrorist acts are readily labeled as members of or offshoot groups on the fringes of. Except of course here in the United States, do domestic criminal terror, or planning same, you're not only Not Labeled As Such some actually Embrace What You've Done or are Planning and that you have every right to terrorize your communities or country! Recent acts have proven that out, i.e. Austin Texas, Killings in Churches, Militia Raids, and we can go back for only a few of the many, Oklahoma City Bombing, Eric Rudolf, Branch Dividians in Waco, many many examples, not only in recent history but our entire history as a Nation.


---Within a very short time on Sunday morning as the news of the Government raids on a militant militia group was hitting the news, the raids had started on Saturday night, the screen grab below was caught quite by accident in a search for more information then what the two local short reports had started posting.

There were replies, as you see the start of, under this, only one person seemed to take offense with tagging these raids and the reports of them being carried out against a militant militia group with the so called Tea Party, the referance wasn't only in the subject title but in many of the replies with links to the breaking reports as well as a few video's. Was there a tie in by many in this tea party and Militia's, have some of these militia's become a force within, or are other so called tea party members forming offshoot armed militia's and known to be in that area so it was quickly assumed they were the ones being raided by the instantly, since the election, big bad government that these people found nothing wrong with during the previous decade and loudly supported that.

Who knows, but a couple of days later FOX news interviewed a once family member and this information came out:


Arrested Michigan Militia Leader Was A Ron Paul Fanatic


Fox News recently interviewed the ex-wife of Hutaree Militia leader, David Brian Stone, who was recently arrested for plotting against police men in Michigan. When asked what set Stone off, his ex wife said it was the election of Barack Obama and the fact that Stone was a Ron Paul fanatic who thought the government would try and take away his guns.
Several other people who have engaged in anti-government violence have also been big supporters of Ron Paul, including Holocaust Museum shooter, James Von Brunn, Pittsburgh cop killer, Richard Paplowski and Pentagon shooter, John Patrick Bedell......



Republicans allow things to get ugly, dangerous and frightening

The Irish Times - Saturday, March 27, 2010

IN AMERICAN slang, a "wingnut" is a mentally deranged person, someone who advocates extreme measures. "Lunatic fringe" is a simile, as in the title of John Avlon's book, Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America.

Snip

Mike Vanderboegh, an Alabama militia member, took credit for a wave of broken windows at Democratic Party offices across the country. In an interview with Fox News, Vanderboegh said, "I am telling you, we are motivated to break windows. We feel a deadly threat from the federal government".

Vanderboegh is scheduled to speak at a "Show Your Guns" rally in Virginia, the closest place to Washington where the gun enthusiasts could legally display their weapons. They chose April 19th because it was the first day of the American Revolution, the anniversary of the FBI's 1993 siege of Waco Texas (86 killed), and the anniversary of Timothy McVeigh's bombing of a Federal building in Oklahoma City two years later (168 killed). Vanderboegh threatened "a thousand little Wacos".

Perhaps the most frightening things about the vandalism and intimidation is the way it is tolerated, if not openly condoned, by Republican leaders. On firenancypelosi.com, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is shown against a background of flames. It's a fundraising site for the Republican National Committee.

Or take Sarah Palin's response to the healthcare Bill, on Twitter: "Commonsense Conservatives lovers of America: Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD! Pls see my Facebook page." Palin continued the hunting metaphor, posting a map with crosshairs over 20 districts held by Democratic Congressmen.

Conservatism in America now runs in a continuous line from Mike Vanderboegh to Sarah Palin to Republican leaders like John Boehner. All use the words "socialist" and "European" as epithets. The polarisation is accentuated because conservatives rely on Fox News and right-wing blogs for information, while liberals watch MSNBC and read the Washington Post and New York Times. There is no common ground. -->-->-->
