The conservative Mackinac Center has reportedly called the FBI regarding multiple voice-mail threats of violence.
This crap is getting old.
The RW would enjoy nothing more than promulgating the notion of vast legions of slavering, snarling lefties roaming America, looking for innocent victims. Although it's damn hard not to LOL at such farcical silliness, this is most assuredly not funny.
Whether the latest (Mackinac) calls are legit or RW shenanigans no longer matters. Felony charges have been lodged in one case, and an FBI investigation is under way in another. The right now has its kernels of truth; regardless how the facts actually spill out, they've got more than enough raw material to start spinning and repeating and spinning and repeating (etc.) things their way.
What makes this especially appalling is that (1) virtually all American political violence in recent decades has come from the right; and (2) it would seem that those making these recent threats are incapable of planning lunch, much less an actual attack against anyone.
How the hell shall we address this latest sociopathically dishonest RW meme?
