The American Right Is Now a Terrorist Organization

"Led by two sons of racist, anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy, these heavily armed domestic terrorists have put the call out for like-minded military cosplaying yokels to join them in what they say will be a long battle against the evil United States government, one they’re prepared to turn into an active shooting war if necessary. For years now, certainly since the beginning of the Obama presidency, the fever dreams of conspiracy theorist dolts like the “militiamen” now in Oregon have been stoked and pandered to by the conservative establishment and its media arm at Fox News and on talk radio. The heated, alarmist rhetoric — the calls of “arm yourselves!” and the absurd cries of “tyranny!” — has created an environment in which the kind of domestic terrorism we’re now seeing was always an inevitability, given that shouting “fire” in a crowded theater tends to make people get up and run. There’s a cause and effect relationship here that’s undeniable. What’s happening in Oregon is the chicken-hawks coming home to roost within the end-times, eliminationist fantasy world of the modern conservative movement."
