LOL Right Wing Complaining About Being Profiled.
Because of the DHS report.

Welcome to the club.

Oh the righteous indignation!

Here's what cracks me up. They're trying to use the soldiers again, making a big deal out of how the report makes reference to disgruntled returning from war veterans as being possible recruiting risks. "How dare they target the soldiers!"

What they don't realize, is that it was the Bush Administration which identified disgruntled vets as high risks and they passed this report on, like other things, to the current administration. The Bush administration had damn good reason to want to watch disgruntled war vets.

One of the talk show idiots tonight, I won't say who, decided that the release of this report was timed to be right before the Tea Bag Parties to purposely cause a violent situation so that the right wing can be blamed. He said the tea bag parties would be full of leftist agent provocateurs.

1. What so amazes me is their total inability to see the massive hypocrisy.
Their sense of entitlement gets in the way, I guess.

3. Oh no! It's not just the usual suspects (black folks) this time...
it's also... the Jooos!! :crazy:

"Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs."

But isn't it just so very, very PECULIAR that Malkin and other conservatives said nary a word, had nary a complaint when a report on left-wing extremism was released in January???

5. How convenient of them to forget Tim McVeigh
Just amazing to see their selective memory works. And that rwinger that killed and handful of people in a progressive church because they were progressive--can you even begin to imagine if it had been the other way around? There would have been legislation of some sort, and msm still would be on a witch hunt for progressives.

The rw is dangerous, and I'm quite tired of people giving them a free pass for their hate speech and calls to violence. Enough.

6. They are dragging back Dobson from the dead.
He kept saying there's absolutely no evidence to support the idea that right-wing disgruntled veterans are a risk. Somebody tried to remind him of McVeigh and he said "no, McVeigh happened when Clinton was president so you can't count him. Then he went on a rant about being sick to death of people using McVeigh as an excuse.
