re: #90 looking closely

With the rather relevant caveat that I have yet to see a right wing protest matching the insanity on display at the ones that Zombie covers, I think anyone intellectually honest would admit that there ARE so-called rightwing extremists, (of which Timothy McVeigh would be an archetype).

Its also probably reasonable to assume that that the current Obama administration is going to either motivate them, increase their numbers, or both…in much the same way that the Bush administration motivated left-wing extremists.

Again, the issue here is to what extent this report is characterizing or demonizing legitimate political dissent as “extremism”.

I think Sabra is being disingenuous. I know I’m perfectly aware of right wing extremism, living in MT. I think everyone else here is perfectly aware of the dangerous right wing. But, I’ve come to the conclusion that as you go too far right you wind up left and vice versa. A good example is the stormfront type racists siding with Mama Moonbat.
