Eric Bolling: ‘Every terrorist on American soil has been a Muslim’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/07/eric-bolling-every-terrorist-on-american-soil-has-been-a-muslim/


Hey Fox expert: Timothy McVeigh? Theodore Kaczynski? Jared Loughner? Patty Hearst? Eric Rudolph? Dan White? Andrew Joseph Stack III ? James and John McNamara? Jim David Adkisson? Scott Roeder?
The Army of God? The Aryan Nation? The Earth Liberation Front? The Ku Klux Klan? The Order?

Did it hurt much when you pulled that lie out of your ass?

Or, does he not think they were terrorists?

If not just what is a terrorist?


Well FOX is not known for fact checking before saying something. Or, after they say something for that matter.

but are you sure about that? I know they were lynchers, but overall did they really kill more than three or four thousand people? Also keep in mind people they killed overseas.

Not that this makes one group better than the other. I'd love to see the Klan declared a terrorist group and made illegal. I've never understood why some terrorists groups are illegal here while others aren't. Make them all illegal.

I don't have time to provide you with a cataloging of the thousands of Klan murders over the years.

You can do that yourself.

or any other place where WS and or survivalists grow. Then there's this:

http://www.johntfloyd.com/comments/october09/home-grown-terrorist.htm

James G. Cummings is not a household name in America. He is certainly not as well known as Zazi, Fenton or Smadi. He was shot to death by his wife on December 9, 2008. Two months later an FBI field intelligence report from the Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center was posted online by WikiLeaks which revealed that “radioactive materials” had been removed from Cummings’ Belfast, Maine home following his shooting death.

“On 9 December 2008, radiological dispersal device components and literature, and radioactive materials, were discovered at the Maine residence of an identified deceased [person] James Cummings,” WikiLeaks quoted the intelligence report as saying.

The report listed the following “dirty bomb” making materials found at Cummings’ residence: four 1-gallon containers of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium, lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium, boron, black iron oxide, and magnesium. In addition to these materials, the report stated that literature about how to construct a “dirty bomb” and other information about radioactive materials (cesium-137, strontium-90 and cobalt-60) were found at the residence.
Two immediate questions arise: how would an ordinary law-abiding citizen obtain such radioactive bomb-making materials and why would he have them stashed in his residence? To begin with, James G.

Cummings was not an ordinary law-abiding citizen. He was a white supremacist cut of the same right-wing fanatical cloth as Timothy McVeigh and Randy Weaver whose hatred of the American government has been well-documented. At the time of his death, Cummings, a staunch admirer of Adolf Hitler and a former Texas resident, was about to join the National Socialist Movement, a race-hating group with a Neo-Nazi mindset, because he was “very upset” (according to his wife) about the election of Barak Obama as president.

a movie..... oh wait, it already has been, only the wife didn't kill the husband and the neighbor bit it big time.

Arlington Road

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137363/

Widowed when his FBI agent wife is killed in an FBI anti-terrorist operation gone wrong, a college professor becomes increasingly obsessed with the culture and sub-society of these dangerous groups. The arrival of new neighbors, gives him new spirit, as they are gregarious and friendly, with two children that his son can be friends with. He is even beginning to see another woman. However, he begins to suspect something is odd about the neighbors, something about the way they don't want him to see certain parts of the house, or a set of blueprints they have there. Are his neighbors terrorists... or is the stress of losing his wife merely driving him past the point of paranoia? Written by Anonymous

All of them. Throw in attacks on warships and U.S. embassies. Hell, add in the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan as well. Why not?

Robert E. Lee killed more Americans than that at Antietam.

"Our time has run short......"

"That would be for future discussion....."

Every single time Timothy McVeigh is brought up in any 9/11 connected story fox news hosts will always deflect from any Timothy McVeigh discussions.
