Silly libtards. Conservative manâs rage is an entirely natural phenomenon, like lightning and wet dreams.
It doesnât surprise me that these people donât know about right-wing violence because they never talk about it on Fox News, at least nowhere near the extent it happens other places. An elderly white supremacist shot a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in DC, then a gun nut shot and killed 3 cops in Pennsylvania - ok that was a few years ago right? Last year the 2 cops got murdered in Vegas (this wouldâve been while Fox News was overtly sanctioning militia violence against the federal government, not saying the two were linked - but still). Last fall, two more cops were killed in Pennsylvania, but Fox News was busy trying to tell us we were directly responsible for the two NYPD officers being murdered because we protested police violence. These are just off the top of my head without googling.
But a Muslim cut off a coworkerâs head in Oklahoma so none of this is matters I guess.
a man-made disaster
Yup, once Murdock starting hiring black people it was overâŚ
Scott Roeder not only killed George Tiller, but he also warned us that other such attacks were coming. Doing so was intended to scare abortion providers. If that isnât the very definition of terrorism, I donât know what possibly could be.
Given that his intention was to terrorize and that he warned us that other attacks were coming, why didnât the Bush administration waterboard him to find out what else he knows?
Couldnât ISIS be called âlunatics who murdered someoneâ?

Because he was white and not from Iraq or Afganistan?
Itâs not terrorism when you agree with it. âPro-lifersâ AGREE with killing abortion doctors, clinic staff, etc. And when theyâre not busy cleaning their guns and mapping out their targets, they simply stand outside and harass women going into the clinics for everything from a pap smear to an abortion.
But itâs not terrorism. Itâs just terrifying.
Last year some elderly white supremacist neo nazi shot people going to the Jewish Community Center in Kansas City. There are thousands of acts of domestic terror Fox News wants us to ignore.
the Two Black Panthers? Wall-to-wall coverage for WEEKS. Violent, right-wing, white extremists? Meh.
You knowâŚthe reason that theyâre terrified of calling the murder of Dr. Tiller a terrorist attack is that it would then make them and Bill OâReilly accessories to a terrorist act. After all, OâReilly and FOX are partially responsible for the manâs murder.
Fox canât dis domestic terrorists. They donât want to lose their viewers.
Domestic terrorists and potential domestic terrorists are part of Foxâs âbase.â
A bombing at a NAACP building? Radio silence.
Jesus. Câmon, Juan, how hard a question is that?
"Las Vegas Metro Police announced late Thursday that they had arrested roommates David Allen Brutsche and Devon Campbell Newman,âŚwho spent hundreds of hours devising a plan to abduct, torture and execute police officers in order to bring attention to their anti-government âSovereign Citizensâ movement.
Not too hard, was it, Juan? Or:
âJerad and Amanda Miller, the Vegas-based Cliven Bundy backers who, after killing a couple of cops, covered their bodies in a Gadsden âDonât Tread on Meâ flag, and put a swastika-stamped manifesto on top of the bodies.â

âPaul Schlesselman and Daniel Cowart to assassinate Barack Obama, who was then the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nominee. The two men, both of whom held strong white supremacist beliefs, spoke of killing Obama during a planned murder spree of 88 African Americans in Tennessee, many of whom were young students at an unidentified, predominantly black school.â
OrâŚ
âShawn Robert Adolf, Tharin Robert Gartrell and Nathan Dwaine Johnson to assassinate Barack Obama, then the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nominee. The trio allegedly planned to shoot Senator Obama with a high-powered rifle during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.â

"Leaving behind a rant against the government, big business and particularly the tax system, a computer engineer smashed a small aircraft into an (Austin, TX) office building where nearly 200 employees of the Internal Revenue Service were starting their workday Thursday morning, the authorities said. The pilot, identified as Andrew Joseph Stack III, 53, of north Austin, apparently died in the crash, and one other person was unaccounted for⌠two bodies were pulled from the site⌠the crash and subsequent fire, which initially inspired fears of a terrorist attack and drew nationwide attention.

"Former West Memphis, Ark., Police Chief Bob Paudert, whose police officer son was murdered by a father-and-son team of anti-government extremists in 2010, has denounced the government for failing to brief police on such things as the âsovereign citizensâ movement.
Or:
âA group calling themselves the Christian American Patriots Militia is pretty sure they have the âauthorityâ to assassinate President Obama.â
Or:
âAnyone who tries to fire the Police Chief is be forced to live in fear of retaliation from a militia of armed terrorists. Pennsylvania police chief Mark Kessler is the head of a political organization which refers to itself as âThe Constitution Security Force.â Kessler was recently given a thirty day suspension, for using police property as props in a video where he threatens and insults âlibtards,â otherwise known as people who hold political views which differ from his own.â

âAlaska militia leader Schaeffer Cox and his deputy Lonnie Vernon were each found guilty late Monday of the most serious charge against them, conspiracy to murder federal employees.â

Frederick Thomas, a 73-year-old from Cleveland, Ga., and 68-year-old Dan Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., were each sentenced to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Both were members of fringe militia organization they referred to as a âcovert group.â Federal authorities arrested them in November 2011 for allegedly plotting to attack U.S. citizens and federal employees using the biological toxin ricin. Their alleged targets included Attorney General Eric Holder and former Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney.

âGeorge Sodini, who killed three women and then himself at a Pittsburgh area fitness center (His) diary focuses on his severe problems with women âŚcomments about the âliberal media,â the âObama economyâ â and it opens with remarks about last fallâs election, the election of âThe Black Manâ and jokes about black men bedding white women.â
Or how about the âOath Keepersâ, the âconstitutionalistâ âpatriotâ group that urges law enforcement officers to defy the federal government, and that flocked to Cliven Bundyâs defense?
Câmon, Juan. This is supposed to be your âbeatâ.
Terrorism: The crime of killing noncombatant civilians to achieve a political effect.
How hard is that to understand?
In the movie 1776, Ben Franklin says
âA rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as âour rebellion.â It is only in the third person - âtheir rebellionâ - that it becomes illegal.â
Today, âourâ domestic terrorists are lone wolves, or as Bolling says, âA lunatic who murdered someone.â Itâs only in the third person - âtheir actsâ - that it becomes terrorism.
Apparently itâs very difficult.
âAn abortion clinic shooting, youâre calling that a terrorist attack?â Bolling asked.
âWhat would you call it?â Williams countered.
âSomething Fox and nothing to do with. NOTHING!â
'âOh you sound like Obama.â
Just the sort of nuanced and thoughtful retort you would expect from a Fox News host.
