3. K&R. These guys won't be happy until there's a mass killing.

4. When the report about left-wing violence came out a couple of months earlier, the same thing

happened. The media and the left-wing went nuts with cries of "How dare you!" and the like. So, the report was withdrawn and apologies were issued.

Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

10. what 'left wing' violence?

Edited on Sun Apr-04-10 11:46 AM by suzanner

I was around in the 60's. All the afore mentioned groups were non-violent until Kent State. Panthers also were non-violent until the brutality hit a certain over-the-top, obvious, and horrifically unjust level. Back then the hubris of the 'establishment' was just mafioso with entitlement. Same as the tea party-ers of today. The tea P's issue is merely 'someone to blame'. And proverbially, 'blame the Dems' has always worked, no matter the facts.

11. Um, that was a joke. There was a report about left wing violence in January of 09.

It was pretty much ignored.

12. The sad thing is that the right wing report was buried.

The scary thing I should say.

7. Southern Poverty Law Center: : Patriot Groups increase by 244%

over the last 2 years. Patriot Groups is used interchangeably
with Militia.

8. And all Cenk is saying is use some common sense.

Investigate the bad guys, don't mess with the good guys, go after the ones that are planning violence, leave the ones alone that are baking cookies. Simple and yet still needs to be said.

9. Thanks Cenk!

And thanks Ihavenobias for posting. :hi: The Southern Poverty Law Center is my resource for the filth and foul around me.

I thought it was ridiculous when the DHS report was back tracked, but what the hell, I just live amongst the idgits.
