Sheriff says terrorists abound in our midst - Yea, us

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 12.19.2007

Pima County Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik wants us to keep an eye out for domestic terrorists.
You know the post 9/11 drill: Report any suspicious activity.

If you see someone who looks like what an American-born terrorist is supposed to look like — or even someone you are absolutely sure doesn't look like they belong in the neighborhood and are likely up to no good — call the hotline for Paranoids Anonymous.

What exactly does an all-American terrorist look like? They look like environmentalists, pro-abortion and animal-rights folks, according to a Sheriff's Department newsletter.

"Eco-friendly, abortion-rights and animal-rights activists are among the most active groups that have committed acts of terror in the name of their cause," reads the December issue of "Community Connection," a newsletter published by the department. snip

But it's a stretch to equate pro-choicers as domestic terrorists.

Eric Rudolph, who was sentenced in 2005 to a life in prison with no chance of parole, killed two people, including an off-duty police officer, during his two-year anti-abortion and anti-homosexual rampage. He also injured more than 110 people.

Now that's a domestic terrorist.

1. I'd say the Pima County Sheriff is a terrorist.

3. the irony, of course, is that it's the sheriff who is the terrorist
rather than the hippies he seeks to terrorize.

4. In this country, we have a right to go about our business unmolested by government.
That is, we have a protection from unreasonable search and seizure. So, if someone decides we "look like" a domestic terrorist and they report us to the police, does that constitute probable cause for the police to stop, search and question us?

9. Oh really. What about skinheads, Neo-Nazis, FAIR, Minutemen, etc.? As any intelligent person knows,

the extreme right-wing groups have out-paced the left in terrorist acts a hundred to one! Just look at the white supremacists groups or the Christian Identity ones! See the post a couple down from here.
