I understand, and if it was 30 years ago, left wing groups would be a threat. There hasn't been a left wing attack since the early 1980s. The feds infiltrated those groups and the leaders all went to prison. Let's take a look at who's committed terrorist acts in the last 30 years, shall we? (hint--with a few exceptions, like the unibomber, it was all either foreign or radical right wing extremists) Could it be a left wing attack? Of course, but the odds (and recent history, with a logical assessment of threats) don't make it likely.
John Lewis, the FBI's deputy assistant director for counterterrorism, said animal and environmental rights extremists have claimed credit for more than 1,200 criminal incidents since 1990. The FBI has 150 pending investigations associated with animal rights or eco-terrorist activities, and ATF officials say they have opened 58 investigations in the past six years related to violence attributed to the ELF and ALF.
But even ELF would not commit an act like we had in Boston. I cannot think of any domestic US terror group that would, why would they do it?
Actually, I've watched a little bit of Fox and ABC News, and Fox has been pretty fair-minded about it. They mentioned Oklahoma City and right wing terrorists as a possibility among other groups. ABC said several times right-wing domestic terrorists, as if there are no other kind. Apparently, no one sees a motive for a left wing terrorist group here.
that is because the left HATES republicans and conservatives. The left has this evil strawman with every imaginable evil, vile despicable description and the slap that label on their "right-wing" strawman. So the fools at CNN, ABC, NBC, et al, actually believe their own fictional strawman is not only real, but common among the right.
But MSNBC has steadily been going on about right wing terrorists, saying most domestic terrorists are right wing extremists. I guess they forgot Ted Kazinski, Christopher Doerne, the father-son snipers, Bill Ayers and all the anti-war protestors of the sixties, eco-terrorists.
I will admit though that I wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out to be right wing types because of the gun control laws. I remember Oklahoma City in response to Waco and Ruby Ridge. The problem I have is that MSNBC and now this Salon writer seem so eager for that to be the case.
Well, I have to group BSNBC in with the same particular kind of stupid as the Salon writer. Not typical of the average liberal, some of whom actually think. The reason I doubt that it's a right wing group is the target. If it had been an IRS office on tax day, yeah, I'd be suspicious. But a random attack against strangers, with no obvious statement to be made except to incite terror? Seems much more likely to be a foreign terrorist, very typical of the actions of various Islamic groups. I mean, they killed 100,000 people in the ME in the last few years, with these same methods. Or perhaps some left wing radical with the desire to expand government power even further. I think the LW MSM really fear that point and are doing everything they can to deflect suspicion in another direction, even if it takes slandering half the country to do so.
It's more likely some individual mentally disturbed nutcase of no particular political orientation. At this point though, it's too early to speculate.
I have to ask, why would you think a pro-gun person would do such a thing or select this target?
The common denominator is that those entire demographics are considered foreigners. It isn't because of white privilege. An American black group committing terrorist acts wouldn't bring down the wrath against all blacks anymore than an American white group would. The fact of the matter is that even if the Muslim group is comprised of American citizens, it would still be considered influenced by outsiders as it most likely would be. I can't even imagine a group of Mexican nationals doing something like this.
You are simply wrong the criminal behavior of individual black Americans does lead to the policies that favor the police cracking down on black people.
Black Americans as a group are associated generally with crime, so much so that crime committed by black Americans is often labeled black crime. Please deal with reality.
that is because the left HATES republicans and conservatives. The left has this evil strawman with every imaginable evil, vile despicable description and the slap that label on their "right-wing" strawman. So the fools at CNN, ABC, NBC, et al, actually believe their own fictional strawman is not only real, but common among the right.
fictional? please read this forum, specially a thread calling to intern all muslims in concentration camps.
I am really surprised El rusho and Mr. Glenn Beck are not calling for the same. Maybe they do know something we dont.
The stupidity of the leftist gun grabbers is amazing. They will use any excuse to try to advance their agenda. Seems that most will not be happy until the rights of the American people are taken away. It is a shame that free people have to continually fight forces that are so willing to take their freedom away.
Comedian-actor Jay Mohr isn't a big political player in Hollywood, but he does have tangential connections to two political campaigns -- Barack Obama's and Al Franken's.
Appearing as a guest on Friday's Imus in the Morning on the Fox Business Network, actor and comedian Jay Mohr took some sexual jabs at Sarah Palin, suggesting that she used to be his "booty call," and then later referring to her as "screwing black people since the mid-90s."
Quote:
He also imitated GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain as he cracked that Cain is "getting blacker" as the campaign progresses.
I guess that means most of the country is leftist, including Wall Street.
