The Rodney King related riots were, of course, political.

It was the outcome of the victim industry, peopled by the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson AND Barack Obama. That industry was created by the left as a means of control and empowerment. You can't stoke racial hatred as they do without causing fires now and again.

As far as lesser riots, how about some of those Code Pink demonstrations? Or the express threats against groups who voted against Prop 8 in CA?

There is little doubt the kook element on the left is alive and well.

Really? Not even one? Or I should say two?

I can't think of any other act of violence in this country that comes close to it.

Also, you must Oklahoma bombing was especially horrific. I can't think of any other act of violence in this country that comes close to it.


As far as domestic originated bombing goes, I suppose that's true. McVeigh was more competent than Bill Ayers, who failed to actually blow up the officer's club at Ft Dix, as he had had planned, and merely destroyed his dad's Greenwich Village townhouse and killed a couple of his fellow radicals. But he did manage to bomb a large number of places, while McVeigh only bombed once.

There's the Unabomber too. He was on the left.

The report didn't make any kind of value judgement about the right or the left

That report was put out for three reasons. If you don't agree with them it's because, as a Liberal, you won't face the facts.

1) To attack the Right.

2) To do a "plague on both your houses" because they HAD to put one out on the Left.

3) As a "multicultural" move in an attempt to cover up the fact that the "War on Terrorism" that they hate to mention is really a "War on militant Islam."
