I am disturbed by the number of people in here that believe left-wing terrorism is more of a threat than right-wing terrorism.

Yes, both are bad, of course. Both types have killed people, destroyed property, etc., in the name of their respective causes.

But which type is currently a threat? Only right-wing extremism is a threat in 2010 (in the U.S., left-wing extremism is still a force in places like Greece).

Name one left-wing terrorist action taken in the last few years on American soil. Can you? I can immediately name some right-wing violence. There’s that guy who killed the abortion doctor in Kansas. There’s the Beltway sniper. There’s the threats made by KKK members against Obama. Going back a bit, we can include Oklahoma City and the bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Going off of this article (www.sullivan-county.com/id3/terror.htm), the only left-wing terrorist group still in operation today are Puerto Rican separatists. Meanwhile, “FBI officials say right-wing militants—including skinheads, neo-Nazis, militia members, and the so-called Christian Patriot movement—now pose America’s most serious domestic terrorist threat.”

Can any Tea Party sympathizer truthfully recognize that their side of the political spectrum is the more dangerous? As previously mentioned, even your fundamental party principles are corrupt. You aren’t anti-government. You’re simply anti-Obama, and you’re in bed with racists because of it.

Why aren’t there any left-wing radicals operating in force today, you wonder? It’s mostly because the CIA and the FBI spent decades hunting down potential Communists while letting right-wing crazies roam free. Hey, at least the right-wingers weren’t trying to overthrow the government, right? Yes, that’s what the left-wing radicals were trying to do, and yes, the government was right for stopping them. But in the process they allowed another real menace to develop unchecked.

The far left-wing has just as much excuse to be upset with Obama as the far-right does. If anything, they have more reasons. With Obama, the right knew what it was getting: a moderate at best, a Democrat, and someone who will probably be opposed to war and corporatist mentalities. Instead, the left got a Democratic president who proved to be in favor of the war, in bed with Wall Street, opposed to new taxes on the upper class, etc.

bzo311: Tiki didn’t post anything regarding either position on the Tea Party, he simply posted a picture of an old woman. It is your interpretation that led to this discussion. 99% of the material in this site is just harmless fun, yet you would believe that 1% is the main focus of Tiki’s content. He’s just trying to run a funny website and make a few bucks off of ads in the process.
