I know, right? It also raises my blood pressure when dumbasses keep referring to characters like von Brunn and Roeder as "lone wolves" acting outside of a movement context -- like hell they were. And remember how the Right flipped such a shit when the DHS report came out last month cautioning against right wing domestic terrorism (even though it was a companion piece to a previously released report on left wing domestic terrorism). Revolting hypocrites! >:-(
What I find most distressing is the disconnect - mainstream right voices can't grasp that if they keep demonizing people or groups of people, they should not be surprised if some of the people listening decide to act.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but with freedom comes responsibility!
