Another California Environmentalist goes bonkers with a gun and a bomb takes hostages and rants like a lunatic.

James Lee, dead in Discovery Channel hostage crisis, reminiscent of Unabomber - CSMonitor.com


Happened only a few miles from my office today.

Thankfully they killed the SOB... the ACLU can't defend him now.

I blame the Goracle . From what I hear ,the moron James Lee was heavily influenced by the Nobel Prize winners 'An Inconvenient Truth '.

But I thought all non-Islamic terrorism was from the Taliban wing of the Republican party.

Hello smoothy:

I heard he was from Virginia.

News says Califiornia.

I know the building and the surrounding buildings... I've been in most of them.

When I heard the address I kew it was one of a couple places I've been in a number of times... before they announced it was The Discovery building.

I was wondering why someone would take hostages at the Discovery Channel building. Crazy Environmentalist. He deserved to be shot how can you not like dirty jobs and cash cab!!

Ex-leader of abortion clinic charged in bomb scare

The former director of an Oklahoma abortion clinic has been charged with making false or misleading statements after telling police she'd found a bomb at the facility, according to federal court documents.

Investigators said Linda Meek reported on Aug. 13 that a bomb had been placed in a trash can at Reproductive Services of Tulsa, according to documents filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tulsa. The clinic, which was bombed twice in 1997, and an adjacent building were evacuated, but a bomb technician determined that a suspicious box in the trash can was not an explosive.

---

Now why would an abortion clinic chief lie about a bomb scare? My guess is the same as others in the article speculated, to portray abortion opponents as "violent and dangerous." The same as when our own government released a report on 'right-wing extremism," just as the left went wildly overboard when a census worker staged his suicide as a hate crime, and just as the left smears 'teabaggers' on a daily basis.

I submit that the left is far more violent, far more intolerant, far more vicious and hateful than the right, and they do these things in part to excuse their own behavior and draw attention away from themselves. Read through ANY comment section at Huffpo and tell me I'm wrong.

Hello Steve:

You're wrong... Not saying lefties are wonderful people, but they don't have a leg up on violence... NONE of us are real peace loving people any more...

The argument can be made that both the Taliban and McVeigh should be considered "right-wing," although to my mind both have stepped over the line into lunacy.

You can of course counter with examples of the New Black Panthers and the Unabomber, again both insane in my opinion.

If you want to confine the argument to rhetoric and advocacy, I'll join you. The left has advocated violence since the days of Abbie Hoffman and Chairman Mao. Violence is part and parcel of their "top down" philosophy. After all, the entire concept of "government imposed" anything is predicated on police ability to use deadly force.

Hello again, wrongwingers:

And, if the people you want to get elected, DON'T get elected, you always have your "SECOND AMENDMENT REMEDIES!"

I wonder who said that?? Oh, it was Sharron Angle. The RIGHTWING TEA PARTY candidate for the senate in Nev. But, she was just kidding, right??

DUDES!

If you want to talk about policies, let's talk. But, you ain't NEVER going to convince me that my side is violent, while you just sit there... Nope. Ain't going to happen.

I find that when ANYONE makes a lot of noise, it is to draw attention TOWARD themselves, not away.

Let's face it. Rightie or leftie, we have a lot of mentally unbalanced people in this world. In my opinion, anyone who tries to force their opinions down another person's throat using terrorist tactics is emotionally disturbed. Whether "the left is far more violent, far more intolerant, far more vicious and hateful than the right, " well, I guess we need to take the time to do a serious census to prove that theory out. Based upon news reports & articles I have read throughout my life, it does appear the younger people with leftist ideals tend to act out in a much more aggressive manner both vocally & illegally than those with right leaning tendencies. But, as people grow older, I think the loonies are on both sides of the fence. On the one hand, we have this guy Lee who Smoothy describes as an Environazi. I guess that translates to leftist politics. On the other hand, we have Andrew Joseph Stack III, the guy who flew his plane into that IRS building in your home state of Texas to voice his final objections to his tax bills. I have heard the guy referred to as a right wing conservative. I don't care what their political leaning are. They were both emotionally disturbed individuals sitting on the same side of the "crazy" fence.

G'morning J:

Those with "right leaning tendencies", perpetrate their violence by attacking countries who DIDN'T attack us, and through their police forces who brutalize people all the time.

They DO all this from the comfort of their couch, so they can PRETEND they're not violent. Give me a break!

excon

So, we are now moving reponses to the comment that Speechless made to other countries? Okay. I guess you forgot about a little war that was declared while Kennedy was in office. In case you need a reminder, the country was Vietnam.

*edit*... my bad. Although the problem escalated under Kennedy, war wasn't declared until Johnson was in office.

Lets See... The Purges under Stalin post WW2.

The massive murders under Chairman Mao.

The Killing Fields of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.


All on behalf of leftist ideologies... all murders in the millions of their own people NOT by the hands of another nation. In the cases of the USSR and China, in the tens of millions each.

And smaller cases of Tibet, Cuba... Columbia, the list goes on and on...

Mornin' Ex,

Let's then discuss Janet Reno vs. Randy Weaver. Then Janet Reno vs. David Koresch. Then Janet Reno vs. Elian Gonzalez.

I didn't see "Bush's jackbooted thugs"(another Huffpo term) taking out hillbillies and churches and six year olds.

Hello again, wingers:

WE are a violent being. That is just so. That's in our nature, not our politics. One of the reasons our politics is SOOO screwed up, is that you BELIEVE the absolutely UNBELIEVABLE tripe you do - like this.

The fact is, your side is SOOO out of touch with human nature, that you could make such broad based stupid statements, like the ones above.

excon

Right... we are out of touch because we want to keep the money WE worked hard to earn... and shame on us for not wanting to give it all to illegals and the lazy bums who did not apply themselves in school because getting drunk, smoking weed, having babies by numerous people out of wedlock and picking on the geeks that took school serious was more important to them...

Yeah.. shame on us for wanting to keep what we worked hard to earn.

Never mind it's the left that for the most part doesn't pay their fair share of the taxes... (38% pay not taxes at all) Never mind the fact it's the left that grants Terrorists and muslims more rights than Christians and American Citizens.

Never mind that far more people are center right than center left. Never mind the fact this ISN'T a socialist country, and never mind the fact the left invents facts (creates fiction in reality) to support their agenda when no facts exist.
