Just how are left wingnut fascists defined? (Like - ahem - Hussein's bud Bill Ayers?)

[OneWingedShark]

WTF. Just WTF.

I wonder how many in the military know and think that it's just plain WRONG to harm or kill average American's who are just exercising their US Constitutional rights....?
Just were do the DoD and military loyalties stand ? with the PEOPLE and the US Constitution ? or a dictator ? opps, I mean President ?

[freebilly]

What would they consider a mid-level terrorist? Someone who owns a handgun...?

[freebilly]

Someone who writes Letters to the Editor....

More than you might think.

I wonder which slime ball beltway bandit wrote this course? (Recall that I am a slimeball contractor myself, although I'm also a veteran most are not) And which never served civil servant hired them and approved it? I also wonder if anyone wearing the uniform has even seen it yet. I also wonder if "protests" was really the "correct" answer, rather than "Hate crimes against racial groups" The link doesn't really show that, although it claims it. It's also a fax from the ACLU, which lowers its credibility a whole bunch. You'd need the courseware to know for certain.

A**holes, I doubt most of the rank-and-file consider us “terrorist (the idea is laughable to any thinking logical person)”, and I believe MOST of them take their Constitutional Oath’s seriously, howeve the current leadership ;(

As long as they didn’t sign up under Bambi.

The antics of this clown and his sidekicks and supportes are no longer amusing.

Unless we can press the birth issue of Obama and his fitness for the Presidency and use it as a lever to get him out of office, America and our freedom are over.

“the unprecedented pre-emptive arrests of protestors at the 2008 Republican National Convention with those protesters being charged as “domestic terrorists,”

Does anyone know what this was about?

[cranked]

So........the Iranian protests are high-level terrorism?
Apparently, Barry was talking out his arse when he said that the Iranian protests were a “robust debate.”

=.=

[Freedom2specul8]

Yeah but the dept of defense?
This doesn’t feel right...

[Freedom2specul8]

For your list, this falls under the exec branch...

[Freedom2specul8]

—note the comments about protests

[nutmeg]

The first question of the Terrorism Threat Factors, "Knowledge Check 1" section reads as follows:

Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism activity?

Select the correct answer and then click Check Your Answer.

O Attacking the Pentagon

O IEDs

O Hate crimes against racial groups

O Protests

***

The "correct" answer is Protests.

This is NOT satire...

[Freedom2specul8]

Ping...

[Freedom2specul8]

Thank you for adding your ping list, I think every freeper should read this.

[Freedom2specul8]

Newer definition of LOW LEVEL TERRORISM...

So now a christian, who happens to be a veteran..and supports the constitution, the second amendment is not only a right wing extremist but they’re also a low level terrorist as deemed by the DOD!

[Freedom2specul8]

-—if they participate in protests they are low level terrorists. I left that little factoid off by accident.

Can this be moved to breaking news?
