Comments on: Ala.: Anti-Abortion, Gay Rights "Terror"

State's Homeland Security Web Site Classified "Single Issue Extremists" As Terror Threats

This is already worse than Mccarthyism. The American Taliban must be stopped before they take their extremism any further and take away one more freedom. The American sheep have let them get away with it so far but if they go any further there won't be anyone left to stand up when they come for you.

I don't know about you, but under this criteria, almost everyone I know -- including myself -- are potential terrorists!

This 'single issue group = terrorist' definition is not limited to this particular web site... check out the "Terrorism Awareness and Prevention" website which also lists Gay Rights Activists (and the others) as potential terrorists.

It is now clear that the neo-cons, right-wing fundamentalist religious groups and the military industrial complex have teamed up to create a Government that in a post September 11 world, has declared that anyone who exercises their Constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly is at risk of being classified as a "Domestic Terrorist."

These are NOT web sites created by fringe groups. They are published and sanctioned by state and federal governments. The message is clear:

If you belong to one or more of these groups, beware... YOU might be a Terrorist!

I've never been a fan of the gay rights activists, but to label them as terrorists crosses a line that the government should never cross. This is absurd.

We need to keep an eye on this type of encroachment. Good government think tanks might be just as easily labeled as terrorist, especially if calls for ethical reforms strike terror in the minds of corrupt politicians.

Watch your backs Americans!

Whew! I guess blowing up abortion clinics and throwing red paint or catsup on fur wearing 'victims' isn't gaining fans after all. Extremists, in any state, in any organization, are a threat to everyone. Interrupting a military funeral to declare the soldier died because of the tolerance this nation has toward *** is terroristic. If people can't get across their point without resorting to violence or bullying tactics then they should be classified terrorist. I hope this kind of 'calling it what it is' spreads all over the world. Before you join an organization you'd better know what they plan to do to make a point. And we all know the South isn't the only section of our country guilty of these things. Midwesterners are just as guilty. In fact, name one section totally innocent of anything.

wonder why we elect idiots and nothing ever gets accomplished?

As much as even I too take offense to this sort of thing.
They happen to be RIGHT. These groups are prone to violent like behavior.

The truth is always the hardest to handle.

Thought police, guilty by association, reminds me of the movie, 'The Minority Report',,,,,BAD IDEA, Walker of Alabama!

[ttenchantr]

And people from Alabama wonder why the rest of us make fun of them. You lost the Civil War, you lost the battle on civil rights and you're losing the War on Poverty. Perhaps things might change down there if a little less blind hate went on.

Exactly my thoughts!
