Oh my God. There have been at least *19* attempted acts of terrorism in the US since 9/11
If successful, these would have included assassinations, bombings, school massacres, attacks on places of faith, and even the use of chemical weapons.

And the perpetrators?

Al Qaeda?

Hezbollah?

Saddam?

NO!!!

They were planned by RW'ers! And do we hear as much as a word about it in the media? No, not even that much. People, we have a problem. Why is the media doing this? This is dangerous for us not to be told about it, I want to get to the bottom of this, we're all going to be in serious trouble if all we hear is:

"Islamic Terrorist tries to blow up court house."

But not:

"Anti-Government Extremist and Neo-Nazi try to blow up Congress."

I want to know WHY the media goes bananas over Muslims committing acts of terrorism, but not RW'ers. We must know before something happens.

1. Don't worry your little head, that blast in Milwaukee wasn't terrorism, just
incompetence. Just another thing randomly blowing up.

See? It is all ok. And besides, it isn't terror unless it is done by "them, the evil doers who hates our freedums".

Indeed why. Perhaps because it will not make money for those in power where being afraid of "them" and war makes money for those in power?

14. No
I do not think you made the national news because I have no clue what you are talking about. I watch the Today Show just about every morning; I missed it yesterday, but I did look at CNN.com and did not see anything about a bombing or explosion in Milwaukee. Maybe I just missed it, but I did not see anything about the blast.

15. Made It
Milwaukee did make the national news. I still did not see it on the Today Show, but CNN.com has a story about the aftermath of the blast. Here is a link to the story.

6. and they don't even use the Patriot Act!!!!
to prosecute! (unless you have brown skin, of course). I mean it's obvious! "Al Qaida" is no more of a threat then these people, but Al Q is "the other", so it's used to incite fear and hatred so the military industrial complex can continue to make tons of money, even though the islamic terrorists are infiltrated with U.S and other intelligence agencies and who knows if they aren't the ones perpetrating the acts.

29. Don't worry. If he'd been a few insane people in Oregon with fantasies of "talking to" Al Qaeda
they'd have raised the terror alert level to SCREAMING 20 POINT HEADLINES by now.

12. Not Completely Surprised
I am not completely surprised by your post. One of the biggest attempted attacks prevented was by a neo-nazi group out of Texas. I do not know the name of the group that wanted to carry out the act, but it is interesting that this group was far closer to carrying out their planed attack than the two muslim groups in Los Angeles and Miami.

This group had planned to attack the United Nations among other places. This group was not just meeting in empty warehouses and practicing Karate. This group had somehow acquired passes to get into the United Nations. In addition, to the passes the group had acquired a great deal of weaponry. This group has all kinds of stuff. It is sad that the msm does not report on these stories.

19. Why would this Admin go after their base? It's the eco-terrorist they worry about
Anyone hugging a tree is considered a terrorist, but those bombing abortion centers are their heroes.

Right wing skin heads and jewish groups are ok, but anything muslim is not.

22. Playing devil's advocate, it could be shades of Richard Jewell.
Edited on Thu Dec-07-06 12:31 PM by Marr
He was very thoroughly smeared as a pathetic terrorist/staged hero in the Olympic Park bombings a few years back, and then... wasn't convicted.

I don't recall if he sued or not, but he certainly should have. Those sorts of concerns may be putting the hold on pictures of this man.

26. Bite your tongue!
Do you want Anglo-Americans living in the bread basket to be treated with the same air of suspicion that we treat dark-skinned people in this country! Why, it's unthinkable! A whole franchise of David Koresch compounds would crop up across this country in retaliation if we started to treat Anglos the way we treat everyone else. I have to shower to remove the dirty thoughts from my mind!

27. I want the anthrax cases solved too. They were post-9/11 and domestic.
Tommy Thompson, Jerome Hauer, Robert Mueller, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzalez, the US Army, the CIA and quite a few more people and organizations got a lot of explaining to do about those post-9/11 terrorism attacks involving US Ames strain anthrax spores weaponized by the US Army for the end user the CIA.

Another unresolved question is why did Tommy Thompson and his 9-10-2001 hired employee, Jerome Hauer, promote the use of Bayer's Cipro immediately after the attacks of 9/11-but well before any indication of any type of biological attack, let alone anthrax (for which Bayer's Cipro can be effective). Why did Tommy Thompson brag about his negotiating skills for 300 million doses of Cipro as innocent US Postal Service employees and other victims were in hotzones???

Anthrax-that could be #1 on a list of 20 domestic terror attacks, and still no arrests have been made.
