I meant to make those comments to Will Potter, not Joe, although I was trying to answer some of Joe's mistakes, as I see them, in my response to Mr. Potter.

sorry and thanks:)

The government won’t label anything as “terrorism” if they agree with it. Although some won’t admit it, alot of them agree with the murder of Dr. Tiller.

tamaraehawk:
Yes, I’ve read both of those, and have written about them. Please point to any of the 30 above examples where the word terrorism is used. It’s one thing to note that right wing extremists are part of a government lexicon, along with many others, and it’s quite another to see *any* terrorism rhetoric or charges used against them play out in the real world.

ahem.. i am a libertarian so i have no horse in this race other than justice and Liberty.. however, i feel compelled to correct you by sending you to the following DHS report:

and its supplementary lexicon:
http://www.tdbimg.com/files/2009/04/30/-hsra-domestic-extremism-lexicon_165213935473.pdf
if you are unfamiliar with these reports, then i suggest reviewing the lexicon FIRST, but please.. the truth is horrifying enough WITHOUT bloggers deliberately misleading people
Peace

Poor Joe, he happily buys into everything he is told. Animal experimentation has not and will not cure cancer:

Sometimes I think that it would be easier to be like Joe; buying into everything one is told makes one less conflicted, requires less thought and action and makes for a great nights sleep.

@Hunter:

You quoted me as saying that these activists have never harmed anyone. I’ve never said the actions you listed are not illegal.

Also: Sorry, but I’m not buying that animal rights activists “stalked your children” because you eat meat. Who is this individual? If they ended up in prison, I’m sure you can point to some news article or court document.

“…animal rights and environmental activists who have never harmed anyone.”

I beg to differ. Arson, theft, stalking and bombing are criminal activities. The animal rights may think that supporting or carry out crimes against those that oppose them or those that they have chosen as their enemy is not a crime but it is.

The animal rights activist who sent threatening letters to my office, stalked my children and my wife, all because I hunt and like to eat meat, is a criminal and quite rightly ended up in prison.

Razor, it would be more blissful if I didn’t have to worry about some eco-terrorist planting a bomb at the office where my wife and I work.

joe,

must be a blissful life, believing and buying into everything mainstream society has taught you is Truth.

You assume the only material a home can be built from is wood and that the only way to find a cure for cancer is by first testing it on animals.
