My sweet lord, Fox News is awfully freightened of ACORN, aint they?
Well, I guess a good conservative is one with a lot of enemies to fearmonger about ...
ACORN again? They still bash the whole organization for what a few idiots did as far as registration (not voter) fraud.
Look, I know some intelligent republicans, my boss is one, but I dont demonize them all for the things Fmr President Bush did. This game of guilt by association, and guilt by 6 degrees of separation is getting old...
I didn't click the video above, so I don't know what's in it, but I've seen the report in question, and it's such a stupid piece of nonsense, that I'm suspicious of it.
It's titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"
That's about as stupidly worded a title to anything as I've ever read, with special emphasis on the nonsense words "extremism" and "radicalization".
In that report is this, word for word, under "Key Findings":
"...returning Military Veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups"
What idiot actually wrote that, and then cleared that for publication?
And I smell a rat here, and I want to know exactly what idiot would write and then publish such stuff, for what can only be the reason of embarrassing the DHS or the Obama administration.
So far what I know is this, that the present Under Secretary of the DHS's Office of Intelligence Analysis (the report comes from that Office), is a Bushie named Roger Mackin, and he was appointed to that job with just four months left in the Bush administration, appointed by Bush Secretary of the DHS Michael Chertoff.
I smell a rat, someone wrote and published this idiotically named and stupidly written report for some no good reason I'm sure. And the Branch of the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis that this report came precisely from, is the "Extremism and Radicalization Branch": I kid you not...
I've never heard anything so stupid as that.
There's at least one idiot, but probably several behind this report: and I'm certain that there's a Bushie among them (Roger Mackin for sure), but if there's an Obama administration idiot also in this loop, then they're just as much to blame.
...and aren't the nonsense words of "extremism" and "radicalization" (which is a new one on me), aren't those Bush words, especially "extremism"?
Also, were you one of the many millions of Americans who, post 9/11, were angry that idiots in our DHS and in the Bush administration, would hold us up at the border, and make us take our shoes off, and distract from and ignore the real threat, by pretending that all Americans were now "potential terrorists"... did that make you angry?
It did me: it made me think those idiots can't be trusted to protect us, if they can't even keep their eye on the ball, and distinguish who it was who attacked us on 9/11, and who it wasn't.
Again, look at the "Key Finding" in that idiotic report, the one that says:
"...returning Military Veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups"
Just how ignorant, even dangerous is that, to blindly suspect IRAQ veterans returning home, suspect them as being the substance of "the potential emergence of terrorist groups"
This insulting idiocy of suspecting IRAQ veterans of "potential terrorism", is much worse but every bit as stupid, as making Granny and Grandpa and little Sister and little Brother all take their shoes off, before boarding an airplane... and you know what administration it was that thought up that senseless and insulting and ignorant "safeguard".
This same report does the same thing, and I smell Bushies behind it all: but it wouldn't surpise me one bit to have some idiot in the Obama administration have cleared the thing for publication...
As one of the unfortunate marks of the idiots on this side of the political fence, is their use of the nonsense word "rightwing", which of course is the very first of several stupid words in the title of this report.
I'm surprised she didn't add the Democratic National Committee. Or is it Democrat National Committee in FOX parlance?
