The Right and Left Hands

[GeneW]

The US Department of Homeland Security frets over "right wing extremism" and the terrorism of groups that oppose abortion, gun control or President Obama's plans.

Meanwhile NASA's very own Jim Hansen is comparing coal fired power plants to "Factories of Death" and the trains that deliver the coal to "Death Trains".

Now let me see if I get this straight... DHS's Janet Neapolitano is standing by this analysis, especially the idea of "extremist points of view" leading to violence.

Yet Dr. Hansen is using very similar rhetoric to that used by anti-abortion demonstrators, who liken abortion clinics to "factories of death". Does this mean that Dr. Hansen will be held to account if someone derails a coal train or sabotages a coal fired power plant?

Be nice if the Right hand knew what the Left hand was up to down in DC. After all, a bunch of us paid taxes today. Be nice if our wages were spent by competent people.

No.

Do you even think before posting things, or just try to make up anti-Washington topics as fast as you can?

Either way, it's sort of amusing.

Explanation is easy.......People who did not cheat, lie or steal while they filed their annual tax return got the jobs..... that standard proved to be a tough selection and narrowed the field!

How true, Gideon. Only reactionaries must be held to account for their words.

By the way, since when is holding the DHS to account being "anti-Washington"?

I know! Wouldn't it be nice if people realized that Jim Hansen, who wrote one letter to the UK Guardian making a poor analogy is EXACTLY the same as Army of God's Stephen Jordi!

By making this outrageous thread of idiocy comparing the head of NASA's comments about coal to the Army of God, or maybe even the American Coalition of Life Activists' comments etc about abortion.

Well that's how I see it, because last I checked, no single protester has been held accountable for anti-abortion violence. Except for maybe the protesters that actually did the violence! :laugh:
