If You're A Pacifist, You Are A Terrorist

(You are currently looking at the faces of terrorism.) In this opposite world we continue to morph into, this report from the Washington Post certainly represents the absurd times we live in. In the agency that spawned J. Edgar Hoover has considered peace loving people, animal rights activists, and those dangerous Taliban like tree huggers a moral threat to our society . The FBI improperly opened and extended investigations of some U.S. activist groups and put members of an environmental advocacy organization on a terrorist watch list, even though they were planning nonviolent civil disobedience, the Justice Department said Monday. Just a simple return to the 1960 tactics of Mr. Hoover of spying on harmless, society loving groups will do to quiet these annoying pacifists from our important illegal waring.

Original photo form Google.com That country talked about in the preceding title isn't Iraq, or Syria, or Zimbabwe. Sadly, this is another disturbing conversation about America. When our Department of Justice does things like this ( as well as the FBI ), it shows how the Cheney/Bush Administration has embarrassed our country. The vote suppression movement is running deep in this country now. From the assiduous Zachary Roth : Add the Obama campaign to the growing list of players who think that DOJ's election-eve investigation into ACORN is a repeat of the politicization of the department that we saw in the US attorney firings scandal. "With this voter fraud [investigation], we're seeing an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics," Bob Bauer, an elections lawyer with the Obama camp, said on a conference call with reporters just now. Bauer compared the decision to launch the investigation with the US attorneys scandal, in which ...
