Why are the militias (like Hutaree) called "right wing?"

Posted on 03/30/2010 12:13:25 PM PDT by Righting

I see the insertion of "RIGHT WING" in the case, at CBS and in other "mainstream" media outlet (MSM), it's not only ufair, unjust and false, but it's part of the 'left' campaign of demonization of the 'right.'

I would imagine it depends on what these groups believe in. For example wouldn’t a group that opposes abortion be considered right wing? I would hope so. I think it depends on the groups beliefs. I think left wing works the same way.

The media is conducting a partisan witchhunt and engaging in paranoid hysteria.

What they CALLED McCarthyism.

The Pravda Media lies like Statlinists. Always.

These groups are so far to the left that they appear to the right.

Valid point, by their own admission.

There's no reason at all to think this is any sort of "right wing" anything. Besides, it was the Lefwingtards, like Bill Ayers, who were actually into murdering cops. Seems to me Bill and his wife are raising a little boy born to a couple they used to run with who are in prison for murdering cops.

I'd call them an "Ayers-like cult of mad bombers". You will notice that the "fibbies" wanted them for their interest in IEDs, and IED is just another word for "bomb", and that right there is all it should take to call them Islamofascists, or "Bombers like Bill Ayers".

Let’s be honest, obviously they are not representative of conservatives nor are they Christians...but I wouldn’t be shocked to see that they were against bigger government and maybe against abortion...policies that would be considered right wing. Again, that’s not to justify the MSM’s attempt to smear millions of Americans based upon a few whackos.

I think they’re called “right wing” because those who are doing the “calling” are “left wingers.” It’s all a matter of perspective.

Because the leftists in the media would never refer to other leftists in a negative way.

Therefore, they have to be right-wing militias.

The fact that they’re claiming to be Christian would tend to make them right wing.

I just wish people would wait to see what comes of this before throwing themselves off a cliff in support.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear the most ridiculuous conspiracies on 911 Islamic massacre upon 3,000 innocent people (911-truthers) from some of the members of some militias = AKA radical lefty ideology.

Right wing/Left wing would come down to the type of government advocated.

The claim is being made that these militia members were attempting a seditious overthrow of police authority so they could establish their own post-apolocalyptic system of rule. Doesn’t sound right wing to me.

Left wing is clearly Socialist. Those who defend our Constitutional form of government and oppose soft-socialism and judicial activism have been always called “right wing extremists” for trying to maintain the sytem that the Left has sought to subvert for 100 years.

This isn’t to say that conservatives oppose ALL change. It comes down to whether the government has the authority to mandate a change and what the impact is on personal liberty.

We are told that abortion is a sacred sacrement to the Left Wing. But it is a more recent plank of political correctness rather than a core principle of socialism.

It's a propaganda thing.

They may be “Christians” in the sense that David Koresh or Barack Obama claimed to be Christians.

You know, I want to be interviewed by the media when I go to a Tea Party. I will proudly say that I am a registered Democrat! (Which is true, I registered when I was young and dumb and haven’t taken the time to change it to Independent yet) How will they react when a Democrat admits to going to Tea Parties?
