Instapundit joins Crazy Pam in defending antisemitic militias plotting mass murder….

BRIAN DOHERTY looks at the Huttaree militia indictments and isn’t especially impressed. “From my read, even taking every word in it as gospel, it sounds like these guys were angry loudmouths who fantasized too much to someone who turned out to be a federal informant or agent, but who they thought was a potential comrade who might help them obtain some explosives.” Meanwhile, as he surveys the reaction I’m glad to see him note that I don’t “generally make much common cause with Christian apocalyptic warriors in the woods.” That’s never been much of a theme here at InstaPundit, but with Balloon Juice looking out for their procedural rights, I’m sure those militiamen will be okay. And I’m sure top lawyers from top law firms on Wall Street and K street will be lining up to provide the Huttaree militia with a pro bono defense, too.

For contrast: this has been on the recommended list at DKos all day…
We denounce the threats made against Rep. Eric Cantor

I denounce the threats made against Rep. Eric Cantor and his family, unequivocally. I invite you to join me.
….
If you read the substance of the complaint, there is no doubt at all that this man is threatening Rep. Cantor and his family, in some of the vilest, most anti-Semitic language possible.

It’s a time of great political disagreement in our country, and I disagree with Eric Cantor most of the time. But there is no excuse, none, for threats of violence like this. It’s TERRORISM, pure and simple.

I invite you to join me in denouncing this, as a community, unequivocally and without hesitation.
