Protesting Too Much
Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 9:04 am
My friend Steve Gordon posts “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Environment Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” a nine-page Department of Homeland Security document about, well, right-wing extremism.
DHS/I&A assesses that lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.
“There’s an absence of hard data over just how many people that we’re talking about, here,” huffs Moe Lane, one of many conservative bloggers to attack the report. Indeed, one could read this DHS report and imagine that a deranged 22-year-old man in, let’s say, Pittsburgh, could marinate in eliminationist rhetoric and murder, to pick a number at random, three police officers. And that’s just crazy.
Seriously, though, I struggle to find anything wrong in a close — not a willfully obtuse — reading of the report. I’m nine days out of a huge machine gun show in Kentucky. I know that all of the gun stuff in this report is true. For example:
Open source reporting of wartime ammunition shortages has likely spurred rightwing extremists—as well as law-abiding Americans—to make bulk purchases of ammunition. These shortages have increased the cost of ammunition, further exacerbating rightwing extremist paranoia and leading to further stockpiling activity. Both rightwing extremists and law-abiding citizens share a belief that rising crime rates attributed to a slumping economy make the purchase of legitimate firearms a wise move at this time.
I’ve had conversations with people who said all of this, and we have data on increased gun sales.
Michelle Malkin is annoyed by the report.
[It] demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.
Well, it doesn’t. But what about the Tea Parties? Here’s an ad for PajamasTV’s Tea Party show:

Here’s the widget from TaxDayTeaParty:

Both promotions suggest that the Tea Parties are the start, or tipping point, of some kind of “revolution.” Do I actually think the protesters want to overthrow the government? No, of course not. But if they want to use this rhetoric, they can’t really be too angry when the government frets about a rising tide of violent government overthrow rhetoric. If the Tea Parties are just a bunch of harmless cosplay nonsense directed at beating Democrats in the 2010 elections, they can say so.

I’d read it if one person can find an original government source link for the document. I can’t and I am seriously doubting the origins of the paper. It’s not classified and so it would or should be easy to provide a link. Sorry, but these things take many months to produce and I doubt it was commissioned in 2009 if at all. It actually looks like a fraud to me. The whole thing has too good of a specific timing to infuriate and scare the right wing. Isn’t anyone looking at the timing and the content. Perfect marketing. I doubt the origins.

I admit to being a bit shocked that the young journalist who once wrote for Reason is now supporting the DHS targeting people for their political beliefs. It's amazing how an election will change people.

No one cares about the tea parties. These people make less than $250,000 a year and are crying about the taxes being raised on 1% of the population. They are using the tea party as an excuse to complain about Obama. These are the same sort of people who went to McCain-Palin rallies just to spread their racist and unintellectual agendas. They are laughable because they don't even know what they are protesting.

I have to confess that I just did a find through the PDF, I didn't read the whole thing. However, even doing just that I found more than Weigel ever could.
Namely, the report says prominent civil rights organizations have observed an increase in anti-Hispanic crimes over the past five years. That tracks misleading statements from a far-left group. And, compare the report to past false statements from Obama.
If Weigel were a real reporter, he'd take the excerpt I provided and find out from the DHS whether they were relying on the SPLC and if so why we should trust the rest of the report given the SPLC's reputation.
Of course, Weigel won't do that because he isn't a real reporter.

Well, yes, though gun ownership is hardly concrete evidence of an impending insurrection, and revolutionary imagery is not exactly unknown in American politics. The Ron Paulites and the antiwar Left, for example, are no strangers to revolution, but aside from a few odious restrictions of political expression, I don’t recall anyone labeling them a threat to civil order.

Wikileaks is the source. Fraud is the astroturfing of “teabagging”. Why anyone making less than 250k would protest taxing millionaires at the same rate as taxed during the Raygun years is boggling to me. Wikileaks

“Why anyone making less than 250k would protest taxing millionaires at the same rate as taxed during the Raygun years is boggling to me.”
That is not what the tea party protests are about. If you'd pay attention instead of listening to left wing echo chamber talking points, you'd know that, and you would no longer be boggled.
As much as you may think it is unpatriotic and a sign of right-wing insanity or idiocy to be opposed to W's horrible and irresponsible (where the F was the veto pen?) 400 billion deficit which took 8 years to accumulate, turning almost literally OVERNIGHT into a Trillion+ dollar deficit, based on bills which are not even READ in advance, let alone vetted and publicly debated, so that it can come to light as to how much of that mountain of money is REALLY intended to “stimulate” the economy — there are legitimate viewpoints contrary to what Obama tells us.
And last time I checked, there was no law on the books (yet) limiting ant-establishment protest rallies to left wing causes only.
Comment posted April 15, 2009 @ 8:16 am
No – this is the part where you're supposed to have this thing called a conscience, and feel some sort of remorse for engaging in more rhetoric to create a situation where we will potentially have more Oklahoma City type right wing extremist domestic terrorism. As well as, maybe, growing up and not making this into a pissing contest about who killed who (besides conflating things and turning the unabomber into a left wing nut. So many bullsh!t Republican't slime and deflect tactics, so few words…) and trying to, you know, do something to prevent people from thinking it's okay to kill one another because of their political ideology, instead of adding fuel to the fire.
But go ahead and toss another “retort” on, distort the liberal point of view, and maybe throw in some personal, racial, or homosexual insults while you're pissing on the graves of the OklaCity bombing victims. Good job showing us all what the typical Republican't gasbag does when he gets his hands on the Rush Limbaugh Republican't Field Operations manual.
Keep digging up, stupid!

Nixon, sir, I dont read the report as demonizing veterans in general. But it seems quite sane, from a policing pov, to be aware if any veterans in a community starts hanging out with skinheads and/or joining the extreme anti-Obama crowd. As we both know, they have the skills to do something stupid.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
