Actually Rich, I'd like to know why right-wingers don't look to TImmy McVeigh and consider all conservative "militia" members terrorists? Or why aren't all pro-lifers lumped in with those who murder doctors?
It cracks me up. White conservatives who hate the U.S. government hole up and take arms against U.S. government agents -- whether it be at Ruby Ridge, Waco, or wherever -- and white conservatives line up in defense of the actual criminals. SOmeone who shares their belief system blows up a federal building, and he's dismissed as misguided, and not representative of the larger group. Some Christian psycho decides that the best way to portect life is to murder people, and the rest of the pro-liefrs scream "he dioesn't represent us." But when some Arabs who hate the U.S. governement carry out violence against it, it's fine to lump them all together. Nothing racist there I suppose?
