I think VR is explaining why the FBI are quick to label animal activists as terrorists. _They_ threaten corporate profits, and _not_ the lone gunman in this case who is actually threatening (terrorising) people.

Sorta, kinda. The media is starting to label violent people other than radical Muslims and non-violent political activists as terrorists.

Now of course I read it in a CREDO Mobile/Working Assests action email, but the link to the report goes through The Raw Story and then has the actual report link: http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf Either way, I am finally glad to see the term actually applied correctly for once.

I was guessing that he would say something along the lines of "Of course it is terrorism for a white supremacist to bring a loaded gun into the Holocaust Museum and fire it in a room where school children are being given guided tours...But that doesn't mean that eco-terrorism is less of a threat to the fabric of American life." For those keeping score, I'm now 2-1. For those of you playing along with the “What will Joe say?” game, I was way off on this one.

I think VR is explaining why the FBI are quick to label animal activists as terrorists. _They_ threaten corporate profits, and _not_ the lone gunman in this case who is actually threatening (terrorising) people.
