If al Qaeda threatened to blow up a building anywhere in the United States how long do you suppose it would take before Michael Chertoff and George Bush and Dick Cheney were screaming at the top of their lungs on TV about it?

Probably less time than it takes the Pentagon to spend $1 million in Iraq.

But apparently home-grown racist extremists can threaten to blow up a building with nary a peep from our valiant leaders in the War on Terror.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Southern Poverty Law Center, which filed suit against the nation's second-largest Ku Klux Klan group, has increased security following threats from white supremacists to blow up its building.

The Montgomery-based center filed suit July 25 against the Imperial Klans of America in Kentucky's Meade County Circuit Court over the beating of a 16-year-old boy of Panamanian descent.

"The latest case against the IKA promises to be as dangerous as anything we've faced," SPLC co-founder Morris Dees stated in an e-mail Monday. "We won't back down from these threats, but we'll have to increase our security to ensure the safety of our staff."

3. What did you expect

These are members of Bush's base, if they go to jail they can't vote for republican candidates!

Besides, according to the media and government agencies, everyone knows that terrorists are brown skin people who worship the "wrong god". ;)

4. But But They are WHITE

so of course they can't be terrorists. :sarcasm:

5. Hey! Remember this one? Of course you don't - you never heard about it in the first place!

Edit: There must be a Homeland Security policy somewhere stating that members of the Republican base shall not be confused with "terrorists."

6. I was wondering about that case the other day.

Wondering how much time they got.

7. Now, now, don't you be calling those White Christian Patriots, terrorists

Don't you know? In Imperial Bushmerika, White Christians are ALWAYS patriots, unless they oppose The Leader, in which case they are traitorous as any Jew, gay, or brown person.

:sarcasm: :puke:
