False equivalency from the RW's. Do they think the bomber might be one of them?
I'm loving all the RW's that have called in to Progressive radio today to read from the same script that "the left has nuts on the fringe that commit violent acts too". I even heard two of them go so far as to suggest that it could have been an environmentalist who sits in trees or chains themselves to a bulldozer to prevent clear-cutting of forests. None of them acknowledge that any act of terror has come from a disciple of the Right. OKC- sorry I cant hear you. Olympic Park Bomber- never heard of it. They are suggesting that if someone else did it, they did it because they are a crazy loner.
Are they starting to come to grips with the possibility that one of them (Rush listening, Bekkk reading, Alex Jones believing....) might be at fault here?
Is the cry of an equivalency from the Left the last refuge of the Right?
http://sync.democraticunderground.com/10022686382These idiots actually believe that we are worried that one of us did this.
Considering they know nothing about what we believe anyway it is no surprise that they would be stupid enough to think this.
The reality is, the left is scared to death that it is one of them so they are constantly deflecting and trying to blame us for this. Then when it turns out it is one of them they will get real quiet then after some time has gone by they will once again claim that he was a right wing nutjob.

2. And don't forget this LOOOONG list of domestic Rightwing terrorists:

Seriously LOOOOONG list.
They are lumping us in with the KKK and other white supremacist groups.
I would like to ask the DUmmies how many of the "right wing" terrorists are currently professors at major universities, like Bill Ayers.

3. My first suspicion was that the bomber is a RW gun nut, trying to back up the argument
that banning assault weapons is useless because people will build bombs. (I've encountered this argument several times.). So, I'm not surprised that they are going on the defense.
BTW, I just saw Shepard Smith mention the OK bombing to Saxby Chambliss, who *immediately* changed the subject.

That is just stupid.

5. Projection, they are masters at it.
They are really scared that it IS one of their very own. I guess when your party has the national spotlight and screams hatred for a few decades, somebody eventually listens and believes it.
I'm not scared in the least that is one of us.
Although Rush was away on Monday and he didn't say why. He came back today and he already knew about the pressure cookers, I didn't hear it on the news break until the first break of his show. So how could he have known?
Maybe it was Limbaugh, right DUmmies?
