Pharyn­gula: What word is miss­ing in this story?.

A very inter­est­ing point by PZ Mey­ers, why is it that white Amer­i­can con­ser­v­a­tives are exempt from the label “terrorist”?

Hell, I’m a white Amer­i­can and I’ve been told I’m sup­port­ing “the ter­ror­ists” because I’m against the PATRIOT act.  I guess being nutty on the con­ser­v­a­tive side of the spec­trum earns one spe­cial treat­ment once again.

On that note, I had a con­ver­sa­tion with a few cowork­ers today about how even if (when, I hope) Barack Obama wins the elec­tion there’s a non-trivial chance one of these right-wing nut­balls will take a shot at him.  It’s a sad state this country’s in.  I hope for the best and pre­pare for the worst.  Such an occur­ance would not end well.
