if bachmann wants an investigation on extreme islamic groups, she could have done so without implicating people with little to no backing.

Bachman? What about all of those mass-murdering Tea Party types? At least ABC News is out there to tell us the truth! http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-july-23-2012/brian-ross-blows-it * September 2009: The discovery of hanged census-taker Bill Sparkman in rural Kentucky fueled media speculation that he’d been killed by anti-government Tea Partiers. In fact, he’d killed himself and staged his corpse to look like a homicide so his family could collect on life insurance. * February 2010: Joe Stack flew his small plane into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. The media immediately suggested that the anti-tax rhetoric of the Tea Party led to the attack. In fact, Stack’s suicide note quoted the Communist Manifesto. * That same month, a professor at the University of Alabama, Amy Bishop, shot and killed three colleagues at a faculty meeting. The gun-loving Tea Party came under immediate suspicion. But Bishop was a lifelong Democrat and Obama donor. * March 2010: John Patrick Bedell shot two Pentagon security officers at close range. The media went wild with speculation that a right-wing extremist had reached the end of his rope. Bedell turned out to be a registered Democrat and 9/11 Truther. * May 2010: New York authorities disarmed a massive car bomb in Times Square. Mayor Bloomberg immediately speculated that the bomber was someone upset about the president’s new health-care law. The media trumpeted the idea that crazed conservatives had (again, they implied) turned to violence. In fact, the perp was Faisal Shahzad, an Islamic extremist. * September 2010: James Lee, 43, took three hostages at the Discovery Channel’s headquarters in Maryland. The media speculation was unstoppable: Lee was surely a “climate-change denier” who’d resorted to violence. Oops: He was an environmentalist who viewed humans as parasites on the Earth. * January 2011: Jared Lee Loughner went on a rampage in Tucson, Ariz. Again the media knew just who to blame: the Tea Party and its extremist rhetoric. In fact, Loughner was mostly apolitical — a conspiracy theorist who, to date, has been judged too mentally incompetent to stand trial. |
There are 2000 hate groups stomping around in the woods in the US. I bet every single one of them voted Republican in the last two elections. Most of them have compounds with weapons. |
And some more:
James von Brunn (Holocaust museum murderer) was a right wing conservative David Koresh was a right wing conservative The Ku Klux Klan is a right wing conservative organization There are a number of neo-nazi and white supremacist organizations that are right wing conservatives (von Brunn, above, was a white supremacist) Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, the Matthew Shepard murderers, are right wing conservatives Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church are right wing conservatives Shawn Berry, Lawrence Brewer, and John King, who brutally murdered James Byrd, Jr by tying him to the back of their pickup truck and driving away dragging him along, were white supremacists and right wing conservatives All of the abortion clinic bombers (too many to list individually, but available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence, quite a few which killed both doctors and staff members, were all right wing conservatives Need we go on? Yes, I'd say that right wing conservative Americans have killed significantly more Americans in the US than Islamic Extremists including the 9/11 terrorists. |
I think Michelle Bachmann is more anti-Semitic than Mahmoud AhmadInejad! |
I went hiking out in the woods out there in fly-over country a few weeks back down south a bit. It was terrifying; I could not stop looking over my shoulder the whole time. I expected the KKK to come riding out of the woods at any moment, white sheets and all... Every time I hear the words Tea Party I shudder in horror. Thank God I live in N. VA. |
Wow, I guess if they don't interrupt your leisure activities then they must not be real. Let me know the next time muslim extremists disrupt your softball game. |
If you haven't noticed, the Republicans have been taken over by the American Taliban. |
Our younger OWS readers won't know what you are talking about with examples like yours. Ku Klux Klan - post-civil war, Senator Robert Byrd ![]() David Coresh ATF Waco Raid - 1993 Matthew Shepard murder - 1998 Abortion Clinic Murders (1990's) You should really include at least a few recent examples, say something like this one... Five arrested in alleged Cleveland plot to blow up bridge (May 2012) http://news.yahoo.com/five-arrested-cleveland-bomb-plot-official-140614344.html

The cleveland bomb plot was anarchists and it's really difficult to categorize that. On one hand they are for radically small government and at the same time they may be anti-business. |
I find the hatred preached by ultra right wing Tea Party loonies like Bachmann far more dangerous than Islamic extremists. Bachmann parades in our midst with total legitimacy spewing forth an unrelenting stream lies and hate sucked up by the ignorant masses who adore her in their attempt to over throw over government.
|
This is really terrifying. Look how the right wing loonies are training to take over our government. I had no idea there were so many so organize and ready to attack

I would trust the intentions of the gun nuts (to defend against tryanny) if not for the fact that they also vote for domestic surveillance and detention without trial. Hey it's not a constitutional cafeteria. |
Is someone attempting to overthrow the US govt? I must have missed that story on the news. Thanks for the info. Bachmann is obviously an idiot, but it is easy for people in Minnesota to get rid of her: vote her out. Until that happens you have to deal with the inconveniences of a democratic republic. |
Yes, there are hate groups that want to secede or overthrow the US government. |
