Michelle Malkin is in a huff over the fact that Homeland Security issued a warning to watch out for right-wing extremists. They specifically mentioned anti-abortion and anti-immigration activists, but Malkin has interpreted the warning to be All About Her. She ends her piece with, “We are all rightwing extremists now.”
So here’s a hint if you don’t want to be seen as extremist: Stop blowing shit up, terrorizing people you don’t agree with and committing murder. Stop with the vigilante policing and stop working neo-Nazi and other hate-based organizations. Stop threatening to secede because you don’t like paying taxes. And stop comparing yourselves to violent terrorists as if that were a good thing:
The coming revolution is akin to “Fight Club,” the 1999 film that follows the struggles of day to day life for a regular guy who starts an underground fight club as radical and not terribly productive psychotherapy.
As Brad Pitt’s character, Tyler Durden, says in the movie, “Fight Club was the beginning, now it’s moved out of the basement, it’s called Project Mayhem.”
That quote is from Republican political operative and former Press Secretary to U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) Matt Mackowiak, about tax day “teabagging” parties. And “Project Mayhem” was the shift of fight club into a terrorist cell that blew up banks.
But yes, the federal government is just ridiculous to believe there may be a domestic terrorism problem from groups that glorify, threaten and actually commit domestic terrorism.
