a Muslim activist (0.00 / 1)

shot up a military recruiting center yesterday killing one soldier and wounding another.  I suppose under your theory of terroist we should label all Muslims terroist.  Lets hunt every Muslim down and expose their radical views.  

This is not the answer.  you simply can't label everyone into one category.  There are extremist in all walks of life and in just about every social and political group in existence.

You want to pretend (0.00 / 0)

that rightwing domestic terrorists do not exist? Sorry but there is too much evidence to the contrary.

And it's only going to get worse, with Democrats back in control of the government. When the Right controls the government, they use it for violence (such as imperial war, and torture) and when they lose control of the government they turn around and use violence against it and their perceived enemies -- women, gays, minorities and immigrants.

It's who they are, it's what they do.

What Are You Talking About? (0.00 / 0)

I didn't label everyone opposed to abortion a terrorist.  I didn't even say that about the hardcore opponents of abortion in case of rape, severe birth defects or threat to the health of the mother.

To the contrary, I specifically stated that many of them were obviously horrified:

While the numbers of violent rightwing activists can be measured in the thousands, they are representative of a much larger segment of the population, measuring in the millions.  However, this still represents only a relatively small political fringe in the total electorate....

Obviously, there are many people who oppose abortion in all three cases who are equally horrified at the murder of Dr. Tiller.

So, are sniffing glue, or what?
