OTOH, the one against right wing radicals has been widely reported. For some reason it has been all over the news.

We've even had threads here about it before (i.e., this is a repost but the search function isn't working for me ATM).

Of course there have been quite a few stories in the past of the DOJ and other groups tracking left wing groups, so it's not exactly news at this point.

Anyone paying attention to the Right Wing Propagandosphere can see how acts of violence have become a serious possibility. From the rush to Buy Guns to the crying pundits on TV lamenting the end of the Republic, what more does one need to see/hear to notice the potential for Violence?

Is anyone really surprised? This is just the way government operates, trying to cure the symptoms rather than the diseases. Dissent is just a symptom.

I wonder how many DHS employees are secretly rooting for the right wing radicals club.

Destroying the dollar, out-of-control spending and deficits.

Riiiiight. Reality has a liberal bias, eh Fern?

Well, the left-wing radical report came out in January. OTOH, the right-wing radical report JUST came out a week ago. Huh, go figure it's all over the news.

:roll:

I don't necessarily think that the vets would start rioting over these issues anymore than the rest of the general population. However, if the government bones them too hard with respect to their pensions/benefits, there is precedent for them marching on Washington after WW1. IIRC, the national guard had to be called in to put it down.

I don't think that it should be labelled a right vs. left issue though. Wingnuts on both sides are dangerous. However, as teh left is in power currently, they probably aren't as big as a statistical threat. People are putting way too much emphasis on this issue.

Why are so many of you so dumb. Of course they need to be vigilant of these people. Same way they should watch out for the left wing eco crazies.

I guess you'd rather someone like McVeigh do it all over again so you could blame Obama.

Failed government policy with no real representation of the people. They don't get 14% approval ratings for nothing.

You actually think that is the reason why the economy have gone bankrupt?

You don't think that completely out of control corporations have been running rampant eager for every pound they can make as fast as possible?

Because anyone with even a tad of sanity knows that this is because there has been too little socialism (IE governmental regulation) on the financial markets. They don't regulate themselves because if you can make money, more money, fast money then pretty much anyone will.

The government didn't break ANYTHING, the market broke itself and before this is properly understood nothing can be done.

I know the likes of you can't wait for the US to fall just to prove you right, but this Brit has faith in the US and i believe that you can turn this around.

I was speaking about the government's reaction to the economic problems, not the causes.

But nevertheless, yes, the economic problems were created by government, starting with the Federal Reserve.

how did you manage to quote from a post that was posted after yours ?

or if they're posted with the same time, the posts are sorted alphabetically ?

(so OCguy would go before Robor.)

Current Stimulus is necessary. Cost is astronomical, but much better than doing nothing.
