MONTPELIER, Vt. - A co-founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says its volunteers have been harassed by what he calls "domestic terrorists" who have threatened violence.

Chris Simcox said the groups, which he did not identify, should be investigated.

"I think those groups should be investigated by the FBI as hate groups and as domestic terrorists," Simcox said in a voice mail message. "They've been showing up at our meetings and causing property damage and advocating violence."

Simcox did not return a call Thursday seeking additional comment. <snip>

1. They're called "your base"...

who did you expect to join such an organization?

2. Aw poor little big talkers. Beat up immigrants and cry about violence.

The militias and vigilantes are thugs and shallow thinkers when they think at all. Most are Cargo Cult Republicans anyway.

3. When they call political enemies "terrorists," you know they're desperate.
