Maybe he should read the Moonie Times:
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.Shocked? Saddened, yes, but shocked? I blame the liberals. They get folks all antsy. Agitated, even.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.

p.s. Tonight I will light a candle for the slain guard, Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died doing his job. Peace unto him and his family and friends.

UPDATE: WaPo looks at the suspected killer's history of poverty and extreme hatred. At the end of the article an individual named John de Nugent, a self-described white separatist, was quoted as stating the following:
"The responsible white separatist community condemns this," he said. "It makes us look bad."I have no idea what mirrors are for anymore.

Dammit, MJS, I posted my “can-we-waterboard-white-supremacists-now” comment on the wrong damn thread. How was I s’posed to know you were privy to top-secret memos?
ReplyDeleteDave: what I wouldn't give to be privy. The very idea of priviness makes me shiver.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of privy, I was disappointed that back in September of 2001 not a single fortune teller or mystic or crystal ball addict gave America a freebie--not one of them said "by the way, I see big passenger planes flying in New York, striking buildings, lots of death and destruction--on 9/11." Greedy bastards.

Yes, quite true, MJS … but at least they were sancti-fucking-monious enough to tell us, after the fact, that it was our, um, wickedness that caused the Sky Pilot to lift His/Her/Its/Their veil of protection. So we got that goin’ for us. Which is nice.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh. Sancti-fucking-monious. I like that.
P.S., M.J.S.: Just don’t confuse privy with skivvies.
ReplyDeleteAnd why does my spell checker know the correct spelling of “skivvies”?
"The responsible white separatist community condemns this," he said. "It makes us look bad."
ReplyDeleteyeah I bet all three of them are pretty upset. The other 99.9999% of the Klan-loving Nazi motherfuckers are going to wear this like a concrete life-jacket.
