Every government lives in fear of its own citizens. The fear waxes and wanes, as the tides of public opinion and economic ups and downs crest and wash over the political landscape. In good times, the fear is somewhat subtle: discontent, albeit ever-present, is masked by prosperity and contained; in bad times, the fear overflows into the everyday life of the citizenry, which is viewed with the utmost suspicion by the ruling elite. In Washington, they’re wondering: how long will they put up with it?
Today, the answer to that question is: not much longer – and the fear is manifest in the latest campaign against "extremism," which is being touted by the "mainstream" media, the authorities, and the professional "extremist"-hunters who work in tandem with both. To give you the flavor of the witch-hunting atmosphere being whipped up by the media-FBI complex, get a load of Rachel Maddow, the "liberal" MSNBC commentator, last Thursday night. After running a videotaped interview with anti-abortion militant Scott Roeder – recently sentenced to life in prison for the murder of an abortion doctor – in which Roeder expressed support for the "sovereignist" doctrine that the federal government has no right to institute drivers’ licenses, she averred:
"So, yes, so you can see Roeder as an anti-abortion extremist. You can also identify anti-abortion extremism as one branch of the broader movement of violent, militant, anti-government extremism in this country. We associate that movement with the early and mid-’90s, which is when that tape of Scott Roeder that you just saw was filmed. But just in the last 18 months since President Obama took office, a white supremacist shot and killed a security guard in an attack on the Holocaust Museum in Washington. An anti-tax extremist flew a plane into a building in Texas that housed an IRS office. He killed an IRS worker. Nine suspected militia members [were] arrested for allegedly plotting an attack on police officers as part of a war they wanted to wage against the United States government. A Tennessee white supremacist convicted of plotting to kill President Obama near the end of the presidential campaign in ‘08.
"And, of course, there’s Scott Roeder killing Dr. George Tiller.
"And, of course, there’s the wave of threats and property damage against members of Congress after the health reform bill passed.
"Is it helpful to find the connections between these disparate acts, to understand what American extremism is now? Or are these all individual crazy people with no connection to politics, no connection to each other, no connection to a broader movement or to the broader country at large? What’s the better way to understand this and is this stuff going to stop? Joining us now is Eugene Robinson…"
One can easily guess Robinson’s answer to Maddow’s largely rhetorical question, but let’s rewind just a bit, and note the smearing methodology employed here: the classic amalgam. Grouped together in one intellectual package deal are:
- "antigovernment" activists
- white supremacists out to kill the President,
- antiabortion fanatics out to kill abortionists,
- and crazed anti-Semites out to attack the Holocaust Museum.
One of these things is not like the others, and Maddow – no dummy – knows it.
That’s why the plaintive tone is taken – "Is it helpful?" – when posing the question of whether this is a unitary movement that needs to be infiltrated by law enforcement and its members arrested and jailed. The whole idea is to discredit "antigovernment" (i.e. pro-liberty) movements and politicians in the mainstream by associating them with hate and – most importantly – violence, or the threat of it.
It's not too different from tarring all civil libertarians or Muslims with the broad brush of extremism, but certainly no less despicable.

No. A carpet bagger is a prank for girls. When the victim falls a asleep, the girl prankster rubs her vagina all over the victims face. I see Maddows doing this unless Maddows has a cock and balls. Anyone know?Quote:

Maddows has the deeper voice. I could tell them apart by that.Quote:

Speak up. You started this thread.
I've never heard that particular definition in my life, and I would know. I also called around to my sources and they've never heard of it either. It makes zero sense.Quote:

You heard it here first then. Rachel Maddows is a dude in drag so he can't be a carpet bagger.Quote:

She's just a lesbian. No need to obsess about that, but I guess it's a good way to avoid talking about the program.
Looks like Darrin ran away from the thread. He'll be back later to whine about me and not discuss the program. Book it.

Reading through some of that stuff is like reading the Chewbacca defense for the first time.
People with loose grips on reality now have a medium to reinforce each others' ideas these days. From the pseudo-scientific "microwave ovens will give ya cancer, its in the literature", to the outright bizarre "I saw the elder Bush morph into a reptile" (no, I'm not making that one up).
Which is why you took the time to whine about me.Quote:

Or whine about me again. The latter proves the former.

Reinforcing the idea that all these weirdos are "dangerous anti-government extremists" because some of their ideas may resemble Tim McVeigh's, at bottom is the functional equivalent of a reductio ad Hitlerum. It's logically fallacious, though it is no doubt persuasive to weak minded conformists.Quote:

I'm think Maddow's has daddy issues. She interviewed a dude that thought people were gay because they were molested. She didn't like that. She called him out. The author said when he would reprint the book he would leave that part out. The dude was correct in doing that. He should have said some gays were gay because they were molested. Where the author went wrong is not including that butch in the molested bunch. Her girly friend/mommy looking alike is getting banged like daddy used to bang her. Maddow's know's how to treat a old hag in my humble opinion.
Why are you so interested in Maddow, jack?
Or he could of said that a large percentage of molested children, when they grow up, are apart of homosexual relationships.Quote:

Have you become obsessed with and done the same kind of investigation for any other media figures?
My focus in on Rachel Maddow. I can't make you any promises but I promise, even if it takes me years, I will figure out that granny fucker.Quote:

Son, I'm asking how and why you have the obsessions you admit to, son. Son, it's entertaining to watch you try to change the subject to me, son. Son, I'm just trying to figure out how this documentary fits into all the obsessions you have declared here, son.Quote:

Your obsession with me. I call you "son" once and you go crazy with it. It's another example of your pettiness and insecurities. Now pages later you want to start a conversation that I played zero part in. It's not you fault.Quote:

Because that's the topic, son.Quote:

Son, I told you changing the subject to me was your fault.Quote:

Your pettiness and insecurities are written all over that post.
Sorry I hurt your feelings, son. You must have daddy issues to be this sensitive.Quote:

Look at you make your own daddy issues about me. Pettiness and insecurities.Quote:

Son, you're trying so hard. Pages after admitting it, you want to try to deny obsessing over Rachel Maddow. You should grab your stuffed giraffe and actually read what you post on here, son.
Sorry about your daddy, son.

I think it's sad but a little funny that there is an argument over Noah Wyle. I bet he(she) loves the attention. Then again, she would probably never visit a Spurs message board because the Spurs are in Texas and Texas is an evil place in her eyes.
I don't think Rachel Maddow would care one way or the other.Quote:
