Clearly, these were not the typical "Islamic terrorists" described in the boogeyman stories of American politicians who exploit fear for votes. Glendon Crawford, the industrial mechanic who conceived the plan, has all the panache of a Macy's shoe salesman; Eric Feight, a software engineer who helped build the device, looks like a less impish version of Kurt Vonnegut. But their harmless appearance belies their beliefs—Crawford was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and the plot he hatched with Feight involved killing scores of Muslims, as well as officials at the governor's mansion in Albany, New York and at the White House.
They and untold thousands like them are the extremists who hide among us, the right-wing militants who, since 2002, have killed more people in the United States than jihadis have. In that time, according to New America, a Washington think tank, Islamists launched nine attacks that murdered 45, while the right-wing extremists struck 18 times, leaving 48 dead. These Americans thrive on hate and conspiracy theories, many fed to them by politicians and commentators who blithely blather about government concentration camps and impending martial law and plans to seize guns and other dystopian gibberish, apparently unaware there are people listening who don't know it's all lies. These extremists turn to violence against minorities, non-Christians, abortion providers, government officials, in what they believe is a fight to save America. And that potential for violence is escalating every day...

My question since childhood regarding the Holocaust is, "How could a Christian people [Germany] become so hardened that they would kill their own friends, workmates, and countrymen?" I think I know the answer now. Leftist's lies, when unchallenged, radically transform men's thoughts, behavior, and actions. America's Goebbels inspired media is now a Fifth Column arm of the Global Socialists who, along with the Islamists, have a shared enemy: Judeo-Christian Conservatism. Why? Only God knows...perhaps we stand in the way of their Globalist ambitions? Perhaps the Antichrist is alive and well? Regardless, the truth is that Judeo-Christian conservatives have committed 0 terror attacks and 0 murders since 9/11. But who cares about truth? Jews, Methodists, Baptists, Evangelicals, and other groups follow the Bible and Jesus Christ in love of truth and righteousness. We may not like the Global Socialists, but we do not kill! That is what Islam and Socialists do! PROJECTION!!! Most often, Christians and Jews are the target of terror (i.e. Oregon shooter killing all Christians execution style, Columbine, etc)! Yet the lie goes on. The ignorant, uninformed, and hateful swallow this lie to their innermost parts. We conservatives are called the new "Untermensch", "Judensau", "Judenschwein", by Socialists and "pigs", and "monkeys" by the Islamists. To the media, we are all those things and "right-wing extremists"...
Revelation 12: 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down , which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Haven’t seen too many Christian or Jewish terrorist armies around like Islam.
what delusional garbage is spewing in this article.
“Crawford was a member of the Ku Klux Klan...”
He was he a Democrat, then, right?
about conservatives.
Same goes for Newsweek.
Exactly!
Eichenwald is still around? The best he can do is regurgitate the same left-wing lies?
This is because right-wing extrem. are mowing down people at Christmas Parties, murdering enlisted men and flying airplanes into skyscrapers.
We all know this to be TRUE, right?
We’ll, right-wingers are making Muslims do that stuff with their evil Confederate Flags - yeah, thats it!!!
Indeed.
And glow-bull warming will kill us all.
And the Hillawench never committed any felonies.
And Bubba didn’t have sex with “that woman”.
And you can keep your doctor.
Etc, etc, etc.
See a trend here?
Still think the MSM is not at the bottom of the College intelligence ladder?
Newsweek = Newsweak (fixed it)
Note they only start counting the year after 9/11, and they ignore the fact there are very few muslims in this country, yet they commit a disproportionate amount of terrorism. The crimes/acts of war need to be adjusted for demographic ratio.
I`m convinced I`m the Joe Dirt of the universe dropped off on earth by my lousy parents.
Other times, the stupidity of humanity is so overwhelming I can`t help empathizing with Marvin, the depressed robot from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
For anyone that cares... (and even if they did it probably wouldn`t matter)
Irving Janis was a Psych professor at Yale. He researched groupthink and developed eight groupthink behaviors. They describe why groups make bad descisions - however the left figured out how to use them as a weapon.
I recast them below as commandments of the progressive left.
Number IV explains covers this turd of an article.
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group`s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group`s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

sorry for wasting everyones time...
the right-wing militants who, since 2002,
EyeCanWad conveniently leaves out 2001 and the thousands killed by followers of MoHamHead.
Nice.
Yo! beat me to pointing out 9/11?
Well, it was so obvious.
Not a journalist. He should be Fired.
Sort of like saying Americans are a bigger danger than Hilter, they have killed more jews than he has since 1946.
Maybe, just maybe, “Right Wing Extremists” are a little pissed at the way the govt. and the Marxists have been running the country into the ground.
Remember folks, only muslims are to be judged as individuals.
