3. There is always the danger of a Waco like situation that fires up a huge segment of the far right and leads to a cascade of further terrorist events like the Oklahoma City bombing.
True. The very act of going after these groups confirms all of their conspiracy theories.
(That said, when I finally read about what happened at Ruby Ridge, I started to feel like a conspiracy wingnut myself. This was based on Jon Ronson's account, but jesus christ was the federal government's attack brutal and uncalled for.)

Apparently the best way to deal with extremists is to give their kids pot.
Statistically, no one is an abortion provider.

11: Lynx Gaede concedes, "I mean, yeah, Hitler wasn't the best, but Stalin wasn't, Churchill wasn't." Progress!
12. Progress! The sun shone out of FDR's butt, evidently.
I didn't know his butt shone.
It's why he was sitting down in so many pictures.
I didn't know his butt shone.
Shouldn't that be in the other thread?
Fine butts are always on topic.
This isn't about hunting domestic terrorism anymore, is it?
The fact that we go from domestic terrorism to talking about butts in less than 20 topics is why we're such wusses about domestic terrorism. Conservatives are able to sublimate their fascination with butts into political goals.

It's not terrorism if you're white.
