Curse those right-wingers for being able to recognize patterns!

While it would be easier for them if they had an excuse to start their crackdown, I get the feeling that eventually they will decide that they don’t need an excuse.

You’re right. Certain folks on the left, such as a Brazil residing person who I am sure likes Muslims as an abstract but whose entire public record of writing about them is to use them (Us.) as bludgeons with which to assert his leftist bonafides against Obama, will do harm to the public discourse by a. assiduously trying to minimize the ethnic and/or religious background of the perpetrator and b. try to change teh subject by pointing to (admittedly, plenty) examples of white folk engaged in violence against the state.

However, there will be an equally predictable and about 10x more vigorous reaction on teh right, which is to say SHARIA TAQIYYA JIHAD blah blah blah, and of course they will gleefully revel in the ethnic and religious background of the perpetrator, doing considerably MORE damage to the public discourse by helping to perpetuate the view that muslims represent a fifth column in this country.

AT least, thats how it usually goes, My recent banning from Redstate precludes me from actually verifying teh results on your thread there, but if my last 10 diaries were any indicator, it’s a pretty solid wager.

The question is, apart from Moe Lane, who is really interested in the important question of why a 10-year old program for pipelining iraqi refugees into the US hasn’t come under any scrutiny before? Certainly not anyone on teh far left or the far right.

Their reality-distortion fields are quite impressive, Crawford.

They keep expecting the right to react with violence, and we keep not doing so…

“You get the feeling sometimes that the Online Left is kind of disappointed that there hasn’t been a wave of right-wing violence erupting across the land.”

The sooner it starts, the sooner they can start their crack down.
