I have yet to meet any white power folks in the USAF. But, I have served with one racist muslim. He has, since, seen his way out of service.

But it probably still is OK to talk to anti-US imams abroad.

Of course, it’s okay to blog to one’s heart’s content on a Black Panther site or a La Raza site or an ELF site or ... well, you get the picture.

Hmmmm seems to me that the Constitution is being violated by the pentagon. Freedom of association perhaps????

[John-Irish]

Guess someone forgot to tell that Ft. Hood dirtbag.

[Dallas59]

Apparently the Pentagon can’t read Spanish, Arabic, Chinese....

[Dallas59]

Maybe they should be sent links to “Non White” racist sites?

[Prole]

Precisely. Will the stupid bastards at the pentagon punish muslim soldiers who support islamic terrorism? How about black or latino soldiers who are in street gangs?

Remember nidal hassan’s warning signs? Will they continue to hide their heads in the sand and write dangerous muslim internet activity off as “research?”

[piytar]

Free Republic, TEA Party, and veterans’ groups included? After all, zero’s admin considers all of the above to be national security threats...

[Travis McGee]

How long until FR is banned as a “right wing extremist hate site” for not towing the Obammunist line?

[Nachum]

Free Republic is regularly scanned by military intelligence now.

[verity]

LOL

[Moonman62]

How about the Nation of Islam?

[Nachum]

.....and I have proof of it. :)

The DoD recently got slapped down by the federal courts for banning anti Muslim bumper stickers on soldiers private vehicles. I imagine this will be similarly slapped down. Basically, the courts are saying that soldiers don't sign away their constitutionally rights when they join the military.

“How about the Nation of Islam?”

It, too. (I could have listed several pages worth of hate groups and extremists that are NOT peopled by conservatives. But, for the sake of brevity, I only listed a small handful.)

[Moonman62]

The NOI is conservative by most measures. If they were white they would be called right wing racist haters. And according to a couple of black women I used to know who went to one of their meetings, they are misogynists, too.

[ought-six]

I don’t by any stretch of the imagination consider NOI conservative. It is a fascist group not unlike the Nazis. And the Nazis were not conservatives.

[A_perfect_lady]

I bet they don’t mind if you’re in La Raza, though.

And according to a couple of black women I used to know who went to one of their meetings, they are misogynists, too.

What? No! Really? Really?? I can't believe it!! (SAOTP)
