Right Wing Freaks Out With DOJ Announcement to Crackdown on Domestic Terrorists



When Eric Holder announced that the DOJ is bringing back its committee on Domestic Terrorism, right wing hypocrisy on terrorism was on full display. Simply put, when white supremacists use violence and terrorize communities to further their political agenda, it’s free speech. Only foreign terrorism counts, except when there’s an opportunity to engage in a little home grown Islamophobia, racism or both.

So when you go after people who are merely good conservatives who bomb abortion clinics and murder doctors you’re just going after people who disagree with you. How dare the government go after good faux Christian White Supremacists? That’s not going after domestic terrorists, it’s going after anyone who is white and opposes the Obama Administration.

Got it?

Pat Dollard claimed this is about mobilizing to wage war on white men. Alex Jones wasn’t about to miss out on the opportunity to dismiss the reality of domestic terrorism when it sounds so much scarier to say that Obama is going after his political enemies.

Glenn Beck took the opportunity to chime in with: “This regime is now justifiably terrified that attempts to overthrow them and re-establish our constitutional government and the rule of law may occur. A nazi/Stalin regime like rule is about to begin where people will be arrested and detained without evidence but on suspicion alone. Unlike Germany, there are no allies to come to our rescue to stop it.”

do almost anything you want including point guns at federal agents

Holder better be prepared to actually follow thru with this, which will mean fireworks

How Americans define domestic terrorism isn't necessarily how the government defines it.

Gee, let's see here:

Section 1-A could be used against all these corporations polluting the country with their various failures and negligence. Oil train explosions, oil rigs polluting the ocean, the spills on West Virginia, ect ect.
Section 1 - B -ii could be used against Cliven Bundy

My point that everyone keeps deliberately ignoring in their ass-over-tea kettle rush to contradict me is that I believe the Government and Eric Holder has exactly zero intention of pursuing Domestic Terrorism charges for any of these people and events.

Environmentalists? Protesters of every stripe? I never thought I would see something called "free speech zones" in this country. Nothing would surprise me. I hope the definition is well spelled out and narrow in scope.
