Who is the greater threat to Liberty: Repuke Extremists or the Muslim kind?
I'd say the former, and by a wide margin.

Anyone else?

1. I'd have to add another candidate -- Fox News
THEY have done more damage to the very belief system of the USA. It's mindboggling how much their propaganda has brainwashed people.

3. Agreed, Donna! FOX needs to be cut away like a malignant tumor!

2. The extremists lit the match
the GOP is pouring gasoline on the fire.

There were much better ways to put out this fire.

20. Sorry.
I won't play that game. My mistake for engaging. If you think the GOP is worse than Al Qaeda, knock yourself out.

10. Republicans, by FAR, are the biggest human threat.
Edited on Thu Nov-18-10 08:27 PM by liberalmuse
Muslim extremists, and religious extremists - hell, 'extremists' of any kind run a close second.

On Edit - Updated because someone else made a very good point.

14. conservatives who've been sticking America's dick into the Middle Easterners' pies
for the whole Cold War produced the Muslim extremists
%conservatives of both parties are domestic threats
%Islamophobes (including some "liberals") are heinous even if they don't stir anyone up

18. Is this a real question?
How many republican attempts were there to bring down airliners in the last 30 years? How many danced in the streets after 9/11? Just to be clear here, I'm speaking of radical muslims.

19. The Repukes have other, subtler, more insidious weapons at their disposal --
-- besides a small scattering of home-made bombs.
