Bombing in Boston

[Rachel Bronwyn]

I don't think the people being personally harassed by them feel it's unwarranted. Mockery is the only way to deal with them as long as limitations on their funeral protests are so weak.

And FARC is a revolutionary, not terrorist, organisation. And Irish terrorism isn't real terrorism at all. When are people going to get it through their heads that terrorism is only terrorism if the perpetrators are Islamic?

With flagrant waving of rights, media being used to frequently emotionalize issues and report on half facts, and the constitution being ignored on a weekly basis, this country is going to a scary place.

By I scary place I of course mean 1938 eastern Europe. All we need is a Hitler, Palin ought to do nicely.

Wait, you claim that right wing nutjobs haven't killed anybody? Seriously?

[Red_Mage]

The FBI dropped the ball, in part because it was spending all its time training to watch the tea party and christian groups

Familiar though I'm sure you are with the FBI's internal goings on and procedures, I'm going to go ahead and doubt that.

a large percentage due support its actions either financially, or as part of the general abuse of minorities in muslim dominated areas.

A large percentage? Do you have anything to back up that ridiculous opinion, or are you just pulling vague ideas out of your ass?

Wait, you claim that right wing nutjobs haven't killed anybody? Seriously?

Let's not even go there.

He already went there. Sephie just followed through.

I just dislike the whole "right wingers v. left wingers: who's killed more" argument. It feels too much like pointing fingers at one "side" or the other, as though the psychos have anything to do with their mainstream counterparts. It's all done for political one-upsmanship, and it's a waste of time. Terrorism is terrorism.

And he's right, anyway. Or at least half right. He specifically said that the "Tea Party" never killed anyone. He was wrong in propagating this silly notion that the government can't fight terrorism and watch right wing extremist at the same time (and in the asserting that the Tea Party is who they were watching to begin with), but he was right that the Tea Party movement itself hasn't killed anyone. You said right wing extremists, not him.

Christian groups, on the other hand...that's a horse of a different color. But in any case, I don't see any value in finger pointing.

I was not making such an argument. I was making a argument that the claim "Has not killed anyone" was inaccurate

I assumed he was refering to the types of groups that the government was watching when he said Tea party as he had said

followed by

groups who haven't killed anybody

Either he is wrong on what he claimed the FBI was watching out of suspected terrorist tendencies or he misspoke and was wrong about their innocence.

[Rachel Bronwyn]

The implication is right-wing groups aren't murderous while left-wing groups are.

"[D]idn't murder anyone" is a dreadful baseline for decency.

[Vengeance1701]

That and they have a whole ONE agent looking at right-wingers and 25 on Muslim extremists.

[vincent_richter]

What really bothers me is that Tsarnaev's mother is already calling them paintbombs, not real blood.

Really?

I mean, is there any way the Justice Department can write off a warrant on a couple hundred dollars worth of shoplifting, so this ostrich can tell Heather Abbott that she was just paintbombed and should stop toeing the party line?

I bet she wouldn't have the balls, as well she shouldn't.

She needs to come to grips with what her sons did.

[Rachel Bronwyn]

I doubt she believes what she's saying. She could be as shady as her kids. She's on the federal terror database too (or was according to some sources. Don't want to sound like I think I know what I'm talking about because I don't. Just an onlooker here.)
