Oh no!!!!!!They had weapons!!!! They must have been terrorist. Ha this is such a joke. An obvious example of the media swaying things to make militias seem like radicals. The UN flag deserves to be burned and I don't understand why that would even be mentioned here. Americans should be thanking the militias.

It's kind of funny how people like these will sit there in their newsrooms and bash these so-called "rightwing militias", and talk about the hatred on the right, but totally ignore all the crap coming from the left from people like James Hoffa junior. I don't see any favoritism here at all, do you?

@yahazif Communists are just into that sort of thing

The Left works so hard to gin up fear of "right wing extremist." Meanwhile Muslims set off car bombs and illegal immigrants riot in the streets.. But watch out for those right wingers. They just might do something bad someday..

@jesushusseinchrist Unconstitutional, treasonous, power grabbers come in all colors. Bush took our liberty with the Patriot Act, Obama extended it. Bush launched two pre-emptive wars to support the UN, Obama continues them. Bush left the borders open to drugs, Obama does too. Bush supported Amnesty, Obama is ready to do the same. Bush exported our jobs, Obama made sure Buy American was not in the stimulus package. What change?
