I read the article, which actually drips with hatred for America.
He's still bashing Bush and he doesn't have a lot of kind things to say about Barry.
The anti-Semitism he displays is palpable.
This asshole lives in the United States -- specifically Commiefornia. He not only has drunk the Kool-Aid, he makes it from scratch every morning.
His reference to "canaries" -- while interpreted in the OP as analogous to the citizens of Boston -- isn't limited to just that location. The canaries are everywhere.
Based on Rebel's thread "Unconstitutional" -- found elsewhere in CC -- I don't disagree with Falk's premise. The "hysterical dragnet" that found an entire metropolitan area of some 7 million people locked down in their homes, only to be rousted by jackbooted police thugs who, apparently warrantless and completely devoid of any semblance of respect to the 4th Amendment, threw these citizens out of their home, searched them, and, it could be argued, exhibited their own form of terrorism.
On that basis, Falk is not wrong, repugnant scum that he is.
