1. That was harsh
But I love it! The terrorists from the middle east are very right wing if you think about it.

13. Yes but fundamentalists are fundamentalists.
And they seem to prefer violence to speech.

9. Not harsh enough, IMO
Pictures of the piles of bodies in the liberated concentration camps in eastern Europe at the end of WWII might have been a bit harsh.

This was just deadly accurate.

6. Wrong
The OKC bombing was a terrorist act...not a demonstration. Saying so does a disservice to those who died.

That's not to say that McVeigh's ideology wasn't RW...it was. Please, don't confuse the two.

11. Correct, the OP should have use 'protest' instead of 'demonstration'.
OKC was a right wing protest.

12. Sorry, but no...
It was a terrorist act. Period.

You might as well say that 9/11 was a protest or using a car bomb to kill innocents is a protest.

Those are terrorist acts that kill people.

I'm amazed anyone can equate a terrorist act with an act of protest.

15. some protests kill people some don't.
You can't start a symantic argument and then get all fuzzy about the definitions of words. There is nothing in the definition of a 'protest' that excludes actions that kill people. 9/11 and car bombs used for political purposes are forms of political protest and also acts of terrorism. You may be amazed that anyone can equate a terrorist act with an act of protest, but that equation is routine and is clearly within the overlapping subset of the meanings of the two words.

14. according to W
& other RW freaks a protest or demonstration would be an act of terrorism. Because he stated very boldly that you are either with us or against us. making any voice of dissent an act of aggression towards the US because you support the terrorist. Their small minds are unable to see the difference. no matter how clearly we see the difference the rest of the U.S. is unable to make any distinctions

16. This is true...according to the USA PATRIOT Act
any demonstration can be construed as a terrorist act because it impedes business as usual. Blocking streets is a terrorist act.
