Sub-Husker Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 They look like illegal latino immigrants and/or jyhadist Muslims to me, good thing we profile for those types of people. White males who belong to fringe militia groups would never do anything like those guys are accused of! Link to comment

White males who belong to fringe militia groups would never do anything like those guys are accused of! They look more like the Tea Partiers that I know than your stereotypical Middle Eastern terrorist. The rhetoric is a more inflammatory version of Tea Party beliefs as well. (Now if I wanted to paint with a broad brush I would say that if people think Muslim=Terrorist because of the actions of a few . . . than Tea Partier=Terrorist. I don't believe that . . . just making a point.) Link to comment

Your analogy doesn't work very well but you did manage to connect the paint in "paint with a broad brush" to the paint in "eating paint chips." Kudos. Link to comment

You may want to read up on some effects of lead poisoning. It would likely explain the links you tried to make earlier.

HSKR Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't get it? These are exactly the people who I would suspect are domestic terrorists in our county. If they were something like Muslim terrorists (9-11), then I would not expect them to be US born citizens, thus not domestic. If I think domestic terrorists, I think Timothy McVeigh. Anyone remember the OKC bombing? If I think of domestic terrorism in America, I think of the Weather Underground bombings. They weren't Muslims either I don't believe. But at least we got some slams on the Tea Party out of it. Link to comment
walksalone Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Essentially, any American with a dissenting view of this country could be labeled a domestic terrorist. All the amateur political pundits on this board will simply use this to label each other potential "threats". Link to comment

No . . . I think you missed the point. I've heard tidbits here and there about this "lead poisoning" thing. It's supposed to be wild. Link to comment

Anyone remember the OKC bombing? If I think of domestic terrorism in America, I think of the Weather Underground bombings. They weren't Muslims either I don't believe. I should have phrased it more clearly. Apologies. The heading was Domestic Terrorism . . . but the message was that they don't really fit with the popular and common image associated with "terrorist." I will make the changes to clarify. Spot on re: McVeigh and the Weather Underground. But at least we got some slams on the Tea Party out of it. If you've got the shot, take it. Link to comment

This is why profiling does not work. As a society we will not put up with white christian males being profiled. But at least we got some slams on the Tea Party out of it. It kinda sucks when your guys are the terrorists, and they get caught. Link to comment

I would probably donate money to the Sandusky defense fund before I claimed to be a Tea Party guy. Major fail. Link to comment

Wiki has a good read on our history of domestic terrorism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States Looks like a lot of white dudes to me! Link to comment
