Time magazine's news judgment is truly puzzling. With just weeks to go before a crucial midterm election, their cover story package is ten pages stuffed with “The Secret World of Extreme Militias.” Voters are poised to sweep a pile of Democrats out of office from coast to coast, and they're camped in Zanesville, Ohio with a right-wing militia that claims 300 members as the nation's number one news story? (Katie Couric tweeted on Wednesday that she was eagerly reading it.)
Time editor Richard Stengel announced they gave new hire Barton Gellman six months in the field chasing the whisper of a possibility that some new Timothy McVeigh might emerge and vindicate this bizarre investment of effort. Just weeks after they asked on the cover if America was Islamophobic, it's clear that once again, Obama's sinking popularity reveals an ugly America that can't accept the gift they elected.
While Gellman opened with the usual hackneyed portrait of a Midwestern militia on wacky military exercises against an undefined enemy, it's clear that their deep anxiety over Obama is the main thread. A militia resurgence “now is widely seen among government and academic experts as a reaction to the tectonic shifts in American politics that allowed a black man with a foreign-sounding name and a Muslim-born father to reach the White House.”
If this all sounds like rehashed talking points from the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, you would be correct. “Obama's ascendancy unhinged the radical right, offering a unified target to competing camps of racial, nativist, and religious animus,” Gellman insisted.

They tried it years ago, and it didn’t work, but they’re so desperate they’re trying it again
to quote Bob Schieffer on yesterday’s Face the Nation...
“This is the best you’ve got? Three weeks before an election?
This is peanuts!”

TIME IS FRACTIONALLY right in the nation awakening to a breach of trust..
Obama was trusted by America, which voted him in as president. Obama broke that trust.But he seeks to impose his ideology rather than be pesident, and has become a usurper, a destroyer of America.
Obama earned that himself, the militias do not brand him with it. His conduct has done that.
THE MSMS IS A LAUGH.WHAT A JOKE.
TIME LIVES IN AN IMAGINARY WORLD.
CREATING BOOGIE MEN TO EXPLAIN THE RISE OF ONAMA'S LIBERAL FASCISM IN AMERICA.
Now will Janet Napolitano send Homeland Security out to alrrest and detainn every militia in outr country? Time has shown it is securely in the fascist camp.Time Warner is an enemy of the people.
This is what the article truly means.
I’d be concerned about this if anyone actually read Time.
Extreme militias were in front of the polling places in the Philly area and go by the name Black Panther.
I believe that a few arrogant Elitist publishers & producers believe that they can redefine public interest to match their agenda. The Left in these United States has a distinct advantage that many others has not. Most regimes have had to stop the dissemination of truth by force. The Vast Left Wing political Apparatus [VL-WPA] that is tightening its grip on our freedom has used the concept of a ‘Free Press’ to advance their agenda.
Well, there are those “hostages” in dental and medical office waiting rooms who might be reading that rag out of desperation as they sit interminably waiting for their name to be called. ;^)
Groups according to TIME, that are NOT considered armed,dangerous or violent:
1) Crips
2) Bloods
3) MS 13
4) Black Panthers
5) Muslim Brotherhood
6) Earth Liberation Front
7) Students for a Democratic Society
8) SEIU
That's right...the dreaded militias.
And the efforts by the over grown, over reaching big government of that day to disarm the militias is what led to war.
That's history.
Well it's Tea Party Time in America again.
Having a smart phone means being able to read FR insted of Time while waiting for my doctor and dentist :-)
Dems are sooo ridiculous. ROTFL.
Is Harry toast in LV?
Fingers crossed!!
“Time editor Richard Stengel announced they gave new hire Barton Gellman six months in the field chasing the whisper of a possibility that some new Timothy McVeigh might emerge and vindicate this bizarre investment of effort.”
Time figured that themselves and the rest of the Marxist media would have nearly destroyed the Tea Party by now, and they were preparing this as the coup de grâce to appear just 3 weeks before the election.
