First off, Tim McVeigh was a self-proclaimed agnostic, not a Christian. Secondly, militia groups do not support the NRA. They believe that the NRA compromises too much. Also, the NRA organazation and their state counterparts do not support the 'militia groups', and neither do I. Thirdly, Tim McVeigh was kicked out of the 'militia' because of his advocacy for violence. Fourth, not one member of the 'militia' has been convicted of terrorism. Fifth, I would like to know what ties Pat Robertson has to these 'militia' groups. Sixth, outside of the "Aryan" groups, I would like to know what proof you have that they are 'racist' and 'anti-Semetic'.
Being an NRA member, I highly resent being tied to terrorists, Nazi's, racists, and Anti-Semites, because I am a member of an organization that is not popular in Europe.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did have something to do with it. The targets hit are not ringing true for mid-eastern terrorists. Tom Brokaw, T. Daschle - these people are hated by the ultra right groups. Also, the fact that there is a coalition, the fact that NATO is assisting in guarding our country, the creation of the Homeland Security office, the Terrorist Bill being passed which will allow for more monitoring, and their general hatred of any rules might make them try and disrupt the government.
Hopefully not, attacks like these on fellow Americans during a time of attack and war would be treasonous in my opinion.
That will be my alternate screen name in case I ever get suspended or banned :-)
The Muslim fanatics hate the leftists ---Hollywood, the media, academia, feminists more than we do and in case the leftists don't realize it, they are the primary targets for all that UN crap, international planned parenthood, decrepid Hollywood movies and the tastelessness of the celebrities.
See comment number 4,and then remember Blair being here a couple of weeks ago pushing "unity". Blair is a big supporter of the fascist "The Third Way" political system.
We seem to agree on a lot of things. We are still going to have to kill them. I do hate to kill the enemies of my enemies.
Mid-eastern terrorists would have no interest in targeting media? high-placed government officials? This is just lazy thinking. The goal of any terrorist is to create terror, and what better way to do it than to attack highly visible targets - like media guys and government officials - rather than Joe Shmoes?
Tom Brokaw, T. Daschle - these people are hated by the ultra right groups
It is not as if ultra left groups have any great love for the likes of Brokaw or Daschle. Try again.
Also, the fact that there is a coalition, the fact that NATO is assisting in guarding our country, the creation of the Homeland Security office, the Terrorist Bill being passed which will allow for more monitoring, and their general hatred of any rules might make them try and disrupt the government.
Sure, it "might". We've seen no evidence of that yet whatsoever, however. The fact that Daschle has a (D) after his name ain't exactly a smoking gun. If a Republican had still been Senate Majority Leader and were attacked would you leap as quickly to the conclusion that he must have been attacked "because of his political party"?
This is what I don't get. So many people here see an attack on Daschle('s office) and think "Well, he's a Democrat, it must be because he's a Democrat!" He's also a white male. Could it be because of that? He's also got reddish hair. Could it be because of that?
Give me a break. Less speculation, more evidence, that's all I say.
Of course, they would be hard beat to top the clown that wrote this lying piece of crap.
They are desperately looking to find something, anything they can put into a template and jam down our throats ad nauseum.
We've seen that with the "racist attack on American Muslims" pieces.
They would just love to trot out a right wing bogeyman to distract and disinform. Their problem is no credible evidence of any right wing extremist activity. So in this article the poor author has to invent it out of idle speculation.
The Al-Qaeda network has every reason to try to disrupt the communications (i.e. media networks and news outlets, and yes, that would include AMI for a certain sector of the populous) of the country with which it is at war. That's the only m.o. that makes any sense, esp. given all the FLA connections and the stuff David Schippers has been talking about.
