re: #225 Anymouse

I suspect there might be some individualised violence (a single wingnut with a gun, for example), but I am not sure that a large scale wingnut terrorist attack like Oklahoma City would happen.

On the other hand, there was the ridiculous Mahleur verdict. While some of those guys are headed to Nevada to stand trial there, the fact they were acquitted despite their own video evidence is not reassuring.

Back when that started, over at Daily Kos I argued they should be treated like armed insurrectionists. I got shouted down.

I am not big on violence, but what they did could reasonably be construed as “making war on the United States.” My argument over at Kos was essentially an overwhelming show of force was needed, especially after the fiasco at Bunkerville, Nevada.

That force did not come. In the last two armed actions against the government, the wingnuts have won both times.

45 years ago the Left did a lot of (totally unarmed) marching, protesting, vandalism, and killed…what? One guy who was in what was supposed to be an empty building? And they’ve been totally discredited in this country ever since.

Is it too much to hope that the RWNJs running amok with guns and bombs and rendering whole states ungovernable would discredit the Right for a similar length of time?

Ha, ha—of course it is, because they’re patriots trying to get their country back. Sorry I mentioned it.
