The ‘Home’ in Homeland Security
Maybe we should be paying a little more attention to domestic terrorism these days? It seems a Rockford, IL man had his sights (literally) set on liberal public officials:
The search also turned up a list of federal officials, political and public figures with the word “marked,” next to the names. Breit told agents it meant “marked to die,” because the people were liberal, opposed to gun rights or opposed to the current government. - Chicago Sun-Times
Why is it that when people kill their children because God ‘told them to do it’, or kill abortion doctors because “they’re the real killers”, or right wing nutballs plan on assasinating public officials that they’re labeled ‘insane’, or ‘weird’, or ‘disturbed’, when if this were a Muslim man who got caught with bombmaking material and a government hitlist, he’d get his ass locked up down in Guantanamo Bay and labeled a ‘terrorist’ faster than John Ascroft could say ‘Patriot Act’?
Why the double standard when it comes to terrorism?
