Peaceful protesters are labeled terrorists by FBI

I think this is very dangerous. Peaceful protesters are stalked by FBI, even where they were meeting up to carpool to the protest site, and put into a domestic terrorist file, ACLU says.

1. Old news when you remember

that they did the same thing during vietnam and have been dong it every since. Remember Arlo Guthrie? The FBI had him in their sites from 1967 until after the war ended. Read Nixon's un-american activities act and you can see thats what is common place, just today they up graded the term to terrorist, sounds much more dangerous and frightening then un american.

2. Homeland Security was created to spy on American citizens

Meanwhile, half the suitcases loaded onto airplanes are not checked. Whoopsie!

3. My fantasy is still for us anti American PEACE loving types

to mail our dossiers into the FBI. There's no way they could handle the volume.

But, I guess that could be construed as "terraism" instead of just trying to be helpful. :evilgrin:

4. The DoD 'hits' my firewall several times daily, and

I've never even been to a peaceful protest.
