I have a more general concern over terrorism in general. Not necessarily where it hails from. The murder of Dr. Tiller and the Holocaust Museum shooting shows there are people who have no problem murdering for an ideology the only difference is that they are much more likely to be my neighbor.

Interesting...so one death by a person for ideological reasons is the same as three thousand deaths by several people for ideological reasons?

To consider all threats at the same level seems a little....foolhardy.

You can attempt to twist my words but I'm not going to let you, I didn't say that the 9/11 attacks were on the same level as the the Holocaust Museum Shooting. Nice try, but a failure

You have people in the U.S. who are apologists for people like Brunn, Rudolph and McVeigh. The far right-wing ideology is what breeds hatred like theirs.

I guess I am the radical since I see murder of anyone for ideological reasons as wrong. I'm not giving Roeder a pass for murdering someone because of 9/11, sorry

Wow! Have you ever read much about "nationalism" in Germany and its relationship to why Hitler was such a "success"???

I'm absolutely NOT tolerant of the behavior of white nationalists/white supremacists (some would say "racists"). I would think I've been pretty clear about that.

Then what did you mean by your post?
Also when there is this '?' at the end of a sentence it is considered a question...

Really?
Where do you find such people?I haven't noticed it.

I guess I simply look at this logically and see the greater threat as being....greater.

This is a ridiculous topic and exactly what many people predicted prior to Obama winning, that if he won, all of his supporters would stack up decks of race cards to play every time somebody said something not nice about him.

And to the OP, hang around a bit and you'll see plenty of seething hatred for white southerners and elderly white men. If you don't see it, go get your eyes checked because you are blind.

LMAO! You think SPLC makes a lot of money??? My understanding is that the "employees" of SPLC all make exactly the same salary...from receptionist/clerk to the top lawyer.

Dear god, WHY would anyone think that a person would work at a place like SPLC in order to "get rich".......

Sure I do. I haven't noticed any "black nationalists" or "LaRaza" folks sponsoring any picnics to watch a lynching. Nor have I noticed either one of those groups lynching ANYBODY.

Do you have any specific examples which may have escaped my notice?
