A seriously stupid quote about right-wing extremists
"To date, they haven't done anything more but exercise their constitutional rights to speech and to bear arms."

From a right-wing associate of mine.

1. Yes they have the constitutional right to attack our president's race
Isn't that special?

2. So... where's the problem?
What are they protesting if they still have those rights, and are exercising them?

:shrug:

Makes no sense to me at all.

However, the "to date" bit is kinda scary.

3. Spitting on congresspeople and threatening to kill the President...
Yeah, that's not what I'd call "being a good citizen."

5. their problem is purely cultural
the despise those who aren't like themselves, therefore they only listen to those who talk and think as they do... issues really have nothing to do with it. They just hate a stereotype their media helped propagandize.

4. I think it's an awesome quote.
Because it begs the question, Then what the hell is special or newsworthy about them?

9. I just wonder
how many of those bloggers would still be sitting in jail, if they had threatened bush the way they threatened Obama and the Democrats in congress. What do you suppose if a left wing Palin had done what she did and put a target on the backs of the republicans in congress. All hell would have broken loose.

I blame the secret service and the FBI. They could have nipped it in the bud....that's right nipped it in the bud. By arresting or visiting these people and shutting down their avenues of hate and violence. Seems like they are are right wing enablers and don't give a damn about threats to the left.

10. Ignore that plane that flew into the IRS offices
After all, they're ignoring it, why won't we? Just because some innocent worker died, that's no reason to get all upset. Just exercising their constipitional right to fly planes into buildings!
