It's just bad pr that the state is setting up a task force to specifically police one side. If they're going to set one up, set one up that investigates and combats hate groups from both sides. There are plenty of hate groups on the left as well. Setting one up to combat only those on one side of the political spectrum shows the favoritism that CT has for the left.

It's partisan nonsense, the fact is extremism is extremism, and to target one side (The Right) is just pandering to the Liberals at the expense of everyone else. The ELF has committed organized arson (left wing), Antifa, hasn't killed anyone YET, but the Left is easily as hateful as the Right when in it wants to be.

Exactly. Anyone arguing one extreme is more dangerous than the other is part of the problem. Both extremes have been guilty of mass murder and other violence. Extremism is extremism. Let’s cut the partisan excuses.

When the third reich rose in Germany suddenly robbing and oppressing Jews was an act of patriotism
No my friend targeting political opposition is not part of America

It's not a both sides issue.

It's funny you use Nazis as your example, when this is going to combat actual American Nazis...

You’re grossly misunderstanding. Stating extremism is in existence on both left and right isn’t “defending terrorists” and, further, extremism isn’t solely limited to hate crimes.
