Terrorism in Idaho 0
The story of the very real bomb that was in Spokane is getting far less play than the story of the underwear bomb that fizzled. One wonders why.
Meanwhile, the Rude One is so outraged at the attempted bombing of a Martin Luther King Day parade that he cannot even bring himself to be profane, at least not to his usual standards of profanity which often keep me from quoting him directly.
Excerpt below the fold.
When it comes to harming real and actual people, both sides aren’t equal. Conservatives have to go back to the 1960s for some kind of parity of violence. We’re talking two generations ago, so, really, equating current right-wing nutjobs of today with leftist Vietnam War protesters is like saying that The Beverly Hillbillies is still a fresh and delightfully new show. It ain’t. It’s only in reruns. But conservatives who roll their eyes if you bring up Timothy McVeigh will still talk about the Weather Underground as if your local Marine recruiter is about to be attacked by hippies.
Besides, most violence by the left in America for the last few decades has been primarily against property. Eco-terrorists, for instance, blow up cars and labs. It’s the right-wing bags of fuck who wanna kill people. But, of course, the right does value property more than people.
