Janet Napalitano labels conservative groups "possible" threats a couple years ago

[bripat9643]

When you march in the streets and scream about killing the IRS and that its all illegal.


are they supposed to think your going to fairly pay your taxes?


intent

Who screamed about killing the IRS? Whether you have paid your taxes fairly is determined by the numbers on your tax return, not the name of your organization.

Think Progress?

You think that's a credible source?

She's 100% the biggest terror threat to america comes from home grown radical right wing extremist groups.

 

[bripat9643]

You'll explain to us the disparity of why home grown terrorist acts have killed about 200 and islamic terrorism has resulted in 3000 dead.

There have been countless right wing terror attacks on america, most on smaller scales or have been foiled before they have started.

Right wing extremist groups are hands down the most dangerous to the nation, just look at the teabaggers filled with hate and deadset on destroying the nation.

Really? Can you provide a few examples of "right wing terrorism?"

I think it has more to do with conservatives constantly calling into RW radio shows and talking about taking up arms against what they claim is a tyrannical gov't. Considering that conservatives have a tendency of showing up at demonstrations while armed, it seems prudent to take precautionary measures, including engaging in heightened surveillance of certain groups that keep on engaging in angry revolutionary rhetoric

"Surveillance of certain groups" is not the function of the IRS. The conversations of random callers on the talk radio is not a justification for the IRS to persecute any group whatsoever, just as the antics of William Ayers are not a justification to persecute ThinkProgress or HuffingtonPost.

You're another goose stepping Nazi just like TM.

Janet Napolitano (who was mentioned in the subject line of the OP) doesn't run the IRS.

The tea party didn't have a 30 page rap sheet that I recall. OWS, otoh, had a carnival of arrests, rapes, assault, and so forth.

OWS has no political affiliation and was not politically motivated. The teabaggers are a radical right wing extremist organization that can rarely gather without violence and geezers crapping their depends breaking out.

I had no idea that OWS was such a group of independent non party affiliated thinkers. Was it after pelosi gave them her blessing?

 

[Rocko]

Then low and behold the IRS targets them unproportionally.

Coincidence?

She said rightwing groups. That's a big difference. Just saying.

No difference. American is American, labels are subjective

If you take into context illegals crime/killings then that chart would look re-*******-dictulus. But go on defending Government/Obama doing something you would have a meltdown if Bush/Government did....

This is serious business, and no one cares if telling the truth leaves the conservatives perpetually offended. Those eternal victims are always butthurt about something, so there's no point in trying to coddle them. The FBI is not going to stop paying attention to the lunatics of the right just because some message board dwellers have hurt feelings over it.

However, it does say a lot that the righties here want dangerous conservative terrorists to be free from scrutiny and allowed to go through with their plots. They take the "party over country" thing to insane levels. In contrast, you don't see any liberals here crying that the FBI should go easy on ecoterrorists.

One of the sources is the SPLC? The SPLC's definition of "extremist" is very broad.

To the SPLC:
If you hate illegal immigration, want the levels of legal immigration lower or if you advocate making English the official language....you're an extremist (and racist)
If you hate the government but not to the point of wanting to overthrow it...you're an extremist
If you're White Republican....you're an extremist

They were politically motivated. They were against rich people/corporations. Isn't that a political issue?

The teabaggers are a radical right wing extremist organization that can rarely gather without violence and geezers crapping their depends breaking out.

Uh huh....and can you point out to me any examples of Tea Party gatherings that resulted in violence?

Your back must be sore from shovelling so much bullshit.

Hey Black_label....i'm still waiting on those examples.

No coincidence and no connection. Apples and Jam.

When this report came out the SC had not ruled on Citzens United (which is the underlying cause of the mess.)

But don't let that stop you.......
