The Hutaree militia and the rising risk of far-right violence
The danger of political violence in America comes overwhelmingly from one direction -- the right, not the left. The vitriolic, anti-government hate speech that is spewed on talk radio every day -- and, quite regularly, at Tea Party rallies -- is calibrated not to inform but to incite.
[Editor's Comment:] The danger of political violence comes overwhelmingly from the top -from the Government. -Overwhelmingly. A "threat" from the left is non-existent and the one from the right is there alright and certainly not to be sneezed at. They see themselves as "grassroots" but they're not. The danger they represent in itself is picturesque in a loony sort of way, quaint & low-grade and they're not a force to be reckoned with except as an army of useful idiots. If we ignore their authoritarian mindset for a moment (almost impossible), we can easily see that they fundamentally have nothing whatsoever in common with the elite that actually govern them and control them expertly from minute to minute, day after day.
