And then there's all the gangs. From the Arian Brotherhood on down to Latinos in M13 and Blacks in the Bloods/Crypts/slash who knows what name they go by anymore...those people, while in uniform, covertly represent criminal/terrorist organizations. (far as i'm concerned, violent gangs are domestic terrorism)
There is no denying that US military training has long been taken advantage of by people of criminal/terrorist intent. The Bush administration ordered report by the DHS is spot on in assessing those potential threats to homeland security.
The phony outrage is laughable...good luck finding someone in the US Infantry or Marines that hasn't witnessed, or isn't aware, of extremism's dunderheads plotting action against either fellow citizens or fellow service members.
it's now, ioktcdfdwwiyara
it's ok to criticise democrats for doing what UU. did if you're a republican apologist
Evan Bayh, Mitch Daniels, and this guy....... It's being a democrat in Indiana.
But what do I know.
it's funny how there was almost no mention of domestic terrorists under the bush regime and how all of the extremist wing-nuts rolled over for warrantless domestic spying and increased surveilance under the guise of homeland security all because bush was an idiot and spoke with a texas twang--they probably figured, "he sounds like us and he's as dumb as us so how can he really try to take our rights away"
now that we have an educated president who happens to have dark skin the extremists are going to crawl out from under their rocks and claim that the current president is going to lead us to the new world order when the former president did more in 8 years to erode our rights than happened in the previous 220 (unless you're gay or from a minority group--then you've been screwed on your rights for years)
I just hope that the secret service is doing a diligent job of screening white extremists from their corps so that they don't collude with a radical group to allow a threat to the president
keep in mind that every few years secret service officers (mainly uniformed but from the entire service) are caught being affiliated with white supremicist groups
this is a serious threat and the fact that fox and the republicans are promoting this type of discourse really does border along the grounds of sedition
"Left-wing extremists caused much of the damage at the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle."
"Environmental extremists were responsible for nearly all the domestic terrorist attacks between 2002 and 2005."
Try not to make everything up.

99.9% of terrorist activity occurred from another group. (Foreign Muslims)
There are 23 Million living war experienced veterans. This is 0.000004% of the living US veterans have the potential of a terrorist attack. There are 588,923 service men from Iraq and Afghanistan – according to this report 0.03% (203) have joined an extremist group. And 9 or 0.001% of activity duty might be part of an extremist group. Instead of investigating the 203 known and the handful of known radical groups for membership - you propose investigating the entire military for the 0.000004% and 0.03%? That is political – not logical.
Tell me how you feel about a report that says since 99.9% of attacks were caused by foreign born Muslims on Visa’s – all foreign born Muslims on Visa’s are now suspect and worthy of investigation. That would be logical – not political.
Logic says your priorities are reversed. This isn’t about preventing the next attack.
And actually, the two largest terrorist attacks on American soil that I can think of, off hand, were done by Muslims (9/11) and Americans (Oklahoma City). But in any case, do you therefore feel that the FBI and DOD and DHS should stop looking at the threat posed by disgruntled military members?
And finally, no one said "all" anyone should be suspect. That's a canard. It's also a canard to suggest that we're suddenly going to strip search every member of the military, or whatever it is you're suggesting. Stick to the facts. It's a fact that the domestic terror groups are targeting military members, and it's a fact that thousands of US military were members of extremist groups and gangs. It's also a fact that George Bush was the one who identified this problem. So you need to decide whether or not we investigate all credible threats or not, and stop trying to twist the facts to some massive witchhunt in the military that no one has ever proposed.
That was pure domestic terrorism -- done by a former Army specialist in explosives.
Furthermore, 2 + 2 = 22
Nope. They won't. Congressional Dems won't say anything. The Media won't say anything.
It will be business as usual. The same as when Tim blew up the fed. bldg, and the same as when Eric Rudolph was helped by ordinary citizens when he was in hiding in the NC mtns.
Nothing.
Even if one or two Dems grew a pair and said something, what would that do? Nothing. They'd have to present a united front which would dove tail with public sentiment (for the 1st time in, what, decades?), and then, maybe, something could be done about home grown terrorists. But, that might just lead to us having IRA or Basque style bombings and clampdowns, back and forth.
Really, we live by the gun, we will die by the gun, eventually. And those who pull the trigger on their own countrymen will be cheered on by the GOP - that much is crystal clear now.
At the exact same time this administration drops the use of “terrorism”, “Muslim terrorism”, “Islamic terrorism” it publishes a document on the rise of right wing extremism and the military? We are to never speak of Muslim terrorism again – never suggest any Muslim is capable of becoming a terrorist – and repeatedly express that Islam is a religion of peace? Then in the same breath not even blink an eye reporting future terrorist threats with the military? In today’s administration there is no Islamic terrorism – but there is right wing extremism?
No one is saying the threat doesn’t exist. And if you miss that point – then of course it sound absurd.
The DHS choose careful words on downplaying Muslim recruitment as a minority as not to offend. In a 2007 DHS report “activists identifying themselves as jihadists, although a small percentage of Muslims, are increasing”…” http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/hsac-future-...
That is the irony. Where is the same care, clarity and downplay of minority and respect to our military?
Since you forgot -
Major Muslim Attacks or Attempts on US Soil Last 10 Years:
1993 World Trade Center bombing
1995 Ramzi Yousef Operation Bijinka Thwarted (precursor to 9/11)
1996 Khobar Towers bombing at US Embassy in Saudi Arabia
1998 US embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya.
2000 USS Cole
2000 Millennium attack plots thwarted
2001 Sept 11th
2006 DC Sniper attacks John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo
2007 JFK Terror Plot thwarted
Remember – there is no war. That’s the irony. And it is obviously missed on this group.
