Justice Department creates new post just to fight domestic terrorism.

Courtesy of Think Progress: 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has created a new post to fight domestic terrorism. The new position will coordinate investigations into a phenomena that has killed more Americans than foreign terrorism since 9/11. 

The DOJ did not say who would take the new role but said that the position’s responsibilities include assisting federal prosecutors working on domestic terrorism cases. 

In recent years, the U.S. government’s counterterrorism policy has largely focused on Islamist radicals. This is largely a reaction to the 9/11 attacks. Meanwhile, attacks from right-wing radicals have largely been overlooked by officials. This is despite the fact that attacks from rightwing radicals have led to more deaths than “homegrown jihadists” since 9/11, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). In fact, since the twin towers were hit, self-proclaimed jihadists have killed 26 people in the U.S. whereas rightwing radicals have killed 48, so says statistics provided by the New America Foundation. 

“We’ve seen lone actor attacks about every 33 days, mostly white supremacist or anti-government extremists,” Heidi Beirich of SPLC told NBC News. “Homegrown violent extremists can be motivated by any viewpoint on the full spectrum of hate — anti-government views, racism, bigotry, anarchy and other despicable beliefs. When it comes to hate and intolerance, no single ideology governs.”

All I can say is that it is about time that the government started focusing on the really dangerous people in this country.
 

Perhaps they will also start flagging certain posts on Facebook, and investigating certain cable news outlets, for their part in fomenting anger against the government and inspiring violence against law enforcement.

Oh this is certainly going to make the conservatives flip their shit.

I am now buying popcorn by the truckload.

    I hope this new post stops domestic terrorism like the human sex trafficking gang that was based in WASILLA!

    Sarah & Bristol & Track & Willow & Piper can you help identify the perpetrators involved with pimping out Shailey Tripp and the others?

    I would consider Sarah Palin as somewhat of a domestic terrorist, traitor and treasonist. She is constantly slandering the highest office of the United States of America with her vulgar comments and always trying to divide people with her "us against them" arguments. With as much crap as she has spewed against the POTUS, I would not be surprised if she is on the FBI's person of interest list. On a more positive note, her gig is just about over. Once President Obama leaves office she will be rendered totally irrelevant. The right wing thought it was cool to watch her spew her nonsense against the first black president. I'm sure they figured, hey let her say all of these silly things, maybe it will help us win in 2012. But as we all noticed, her crazy speeches and appearances did not help one bit. After 2012 her downward spiral accelerated and now it's picking up speed every day and she is, no doubt, acutely aware of this. Like they say, karma's a bitch and bad things happen in threes. Lost the Fox gig, lost the Sportsman Channel, lost the Sarah Palin Channel! All of them gone! But wait, there's more: Her daughter's knocked up again, Todd's nowhere to be found, SarahPAC is drying up and speaking gigs are drying up. Now if only Facebook would close her account, she would be silenced forever!

      Sorry, she's too stupid to realize her gig is gone. She'll attack ANYONE who is elected. If it's a democrat, she will bitch about the libruls not being real 'muricans. If it's a repube, she'll bitch because they aren't instituting HER ideas and plans.

      I'm afraid there are only 2 things which will shut her up. First, death. Second, prison. And even in prison she'll find a way to bitch. Probably about the Chocolate Mousse not having enough meat! DUH!

      While Sarah is spouting her vulgarities about President Obama, Bristol is hawking Sarah's new book. "A Devotional"
      However, as one poster noted Sarah can't even quote the Bible correctly.

      The Produce Man: In your description of the book you quote John 14:27. It's not word, it's world. Your family is not very bright, we see that in your mom.

      You can preorder your book today for just $15.95!

      Palin may find another place to spew her extreme word salads and personal attacks as a verbal sniper.
      It has come to pass the Republican Party realized she is a liability. As for Ted Cruz teaming up with her how is that going for Cruz?

      She will still be loved by many for hating the black man, hunting food for her family, anti abortion, bible reading, fishing, anti education, Hockey Mom a regular person who could have been President by ignorant people.

    Evangelical pastor calls out Sarah Palin’s horrifying embrace of ’Christian’ NRA gun culture — and it’s awesome

    In a Christian documentary scheduled for release later this month, a pastor confronts the moral quagmire of a heavily pro-gun culture that is simultaneously pro-life.

    The point is driven home by former GOP Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who illuminates a rather strange version of a faith that many have characterized as pacifist and charitable — a version that has nevertheless come to dominate right wing Christianity in the United States.

      I hope the documentary included Palin boasting about buying another gun the day after the Sandy Hook massacre and the crowd cheering. They have a narrow point of view about gun rights and buy guns in defiance that any restrictions be imposed even when one of their own massacres innocent children. Palin has been applauded and exalted for being a loud bad ass who represents them and says outrageous things to be idolized at the expense of others.

      The majority are concerned and fear their loved ones safety and concern for their lives above being a bad ass. Parents are concerned that a play date could result in death by idiotic gun owners irresponsibility.

      The extremists are oblivious to how perverse they sound railing about their rights in the wake of tragedy and using senseless deaths to buy more guns blaming Obama reciting lies he is going to take all of their guns
      away.

  8. Yep, all true. I do worry about Trig, but I think he'll stay with Bristol and her other children as long as Tripp (?) is around to control him. I think Tripp will have to be the enforcer. We'll see.

      Tripp? He's a spoiled brat. If he is leading Trig around by the nose, both boys will be in more trouble than their AWOL uncle. We may see some of that soon, and Bristol will be busy 'mothering' her new baby girl, and who knows who will be in charge of the 6 year olds at that point. Sarah is not interested. Willow goes on special vacations more often than Bristol, and Piper is in school most days. The kids should all be in the care of the state.

    Paranoid rise of the militant right: Inside the growing threat of domestic extremism


    A startling quote from a Justice Department official this week, which went largely unnoticed should have added some perspective to a number of current political debates. It came from Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, who heads up the DOJ’s National Security Division.

    Carlin said:

    “We recognize that, over the past few years, more people have died in this country in attacks by domestic extremists than in attacks associated with international terrorist groups.”

    If the American people knew this, wouldn’t they be justified in asking what in the world is going on here? After all, we spend massive amounts of money on anti-terrorism security, both here and around the world, and yet we shrug our shoulders at the body count from domestic terrorism?

    I can't help but believe that when the 'idiot' from Alaska had some significance in the political field, that she WAS being watched by the police authorities OUTSIDE of Alaska.

    Why outside forces? Because she had them in her and Todd's pockets in the State of Alaska - to include Anchorage FBI and the Anchorage Police Department.

    “Ammo’s expensive. Don’t waste a bullet on a warning shot”: Watch Sarah Palin preach to the NRA in a new film about gun control and Christianity

    Watch "The Armor of Light: Sarah Palin (Clip)" on YouTube

    In this video the retarded moron from Wasilla acts like she is pro woman by saying woman shouldn't shoot a warning shot when being attacked but when this ass wipe was mayor she was pro rapist because Mayor Sarah Palin made rape victims pay for their own Rape Kits which prevented some woman from accusing their rapists because they didn't have money to pay for their own Rape Kits. Mayor Sarah Palin saved a few pennies by charging for Rape Kits
    but forced the town of Wasilla pay millions for her hockey rink debacle.

    In one scene, Sarah Palin tells a cheering National Rifle Association crowd not to waste ammunition on a warning shot....

    “Speaking of which, Joe Biden, remember this, telling women before an assault just to fire a warning shot,” Palin tells the crowd. “Just aim up in the air, that was his directive…Gals, you know that nowadays, ammo is expensive. Don’t waste a bullet on a warning shot.”....
