Uh Oh...

[OWK]

Here comes the bullshit.

[Lexington Green]

paranoia strikes deep... into your life it will creep

[awestk]

Oh Great. Unnamed FBI Sources. Wonderful. Stop this train, I want to get off.

[Faithfull]

Typical liberal press response- consider the source.

[wysiwyg]

Oh jeezz...it's started!

[Ghengis]

All have links with the National Rifle Association, the influential lobby group which represents weapons' manufacturers, hunters and gun clubs and campaigns for the right of all Americans "to own and bear arms".

I skimmed through this article as it was very quickly seen that it was utter b.s. Did the writer mention that they also were 100% from the "red" portion of the 2000 electoral map and rabid supporters of George W. Bush?

...in their struggle against what they see as a global conspiracy between the US administration and the United Nations to disarm and enslave them. Every state has its own "patriot" group of disaffected right-wing Christian radicals opposed to central government and federal regulations.

Actually, about 50% of the population might generally fit into this definition.

[sinkspur]

A liberal limey rag makes tenuous connection to far right wing groups.

With nothing but innuendo.

I'm no fan of militias or "The Republic of Texas" type groups, but, frankly, most of these guys would rather target Arabs than their own countrymen.

[goodnesswins]

ONE question....how did THEY get the anthrax....???

[Twodees]

Talk about wacko conspiracy theories, the feds and the news media are the world champion tinfoil hatters of all time. If this is what they're coming up with to justify a new Alien and Sedition act, they must think we're as stupid as they are.

[afraidfortherepublic]

There is some doubt as to whether this right is enshrined legally in the American constitution

Yes, you smarmy UK one world/royalists/socialists -- that right was DEFINITELY enshrined in the US Constitution because of the likes of YOU! There is no doubt!

[OWK]

They range in outlook from Pat Robertson, a failed 1988 presidential candidate, with his vision of a "Christian America" to the sinister Posse Comitatus, Aryan Nations and Minnesota Patriots' Council, who favour armed insurrection

Amazing.

[Cool Guy]

BUMP!

[tallhappy]

This reply is to everyone or anyone.

No excuse to defend these scum like Aryan nations and this Harris fellow.

They are suspects. They have attemtped to get such bio-agents.

But I doubt they are mailing things from Malaysia.

Again, if you defend these people you are wrong.

[RightWhale]

Somebody letting the seams in their foil hat loosen too much? Certifiable.

"But our own militias may also have a hand in some or all of the incidents. Copycats and hoaxers could also be having a field day. The problem is, we just can't afford to drop our guard."

The feds have infiltrated every milita group out there. So if milita groups are responsible, then the feds are either acting as provokers or have direct knowledge of what is going on.

My guess is that the militia is not involved, and this is an attempt to demonize them to garner support for more gun legislation and more infringiments on our rights.

These bastards would have tried to pin the Sept 11 attacks on the 'militias' if 100 million people weren't watching it live on television.

This article is personal predjudice nothing more. I would be willing to listen if any facts were presented, but for one, McVeigh was not a member of the National Alliance he had only read the book by Pierce and called a regional phone answering service set up by one of the NA's followers. I suspect this is a far Left wing rag that wants to settle scores with Red America out of the authors personal hatred and bigotry.

[Tench_Coxe]

How long before the American Media start repeating this same tripe? It appears the Bush Administration hasn't quite weeded out all the Clinton appointees.

[snippy_about_it]

I've been afraid of this. I hope it isn't so. I wish they wouldn't lump the NRA in their diatribe about off the chart "right wing nuts".

[Brasky]

All have links with the National Rifle Association, the influential lobby group which represents weapons' manufacturers, hunters and gun clubs and campaigns for the right of all Americans "to own and bear arms".
Thats just plain false.
There is some doubt as to whether this right is enshrined legally in the American constitution
This is even more false.
but the NRA has powerful supporters in both senate and congress and no-one has yet managed successfully to challenge the all-pervasive nationwide gun culture.
Not to mention the not-so-powerful gun owners who will have to have the guns pried from their cold dead hands before anyone grabs guns.
In closing this article from a bunch of freaks in England IMHO is birdcage material.
