I'm thinking it's going to start getting harder and harder to distance yourself from the rhetoric and the actions. There are so many pissed off people in this country, who supposedly love America but hate it's government.
You can't have it both ways, if you don't like our government so damn much, then why don't you just leave and not come back. Still waiting to see if Rush Limbaugh's going to detach himself from that chair and "escape" to Costa Rica. But the fact of the matter is, is that when you manufacture hate and sell it in mass across this country, somebody is bound take it a step further by harming other American citizens. Simply because they hate and can't get over the fact that they no longer hold that "superiority complex". Evidence abound when the Right Wing of this country can no longer handle the "pain of opression", I'll be watching that special on McVeigh by Rachel Maddow. Because they see this guy as some sort of hero, and all it takes is another crazy ass to kill more Americans in the name of . . . just what exactly?
A man accused of dropping more than 30 explosive devices into mailboxes and other locations across east Texas did so out of anger toward the government and was acting alone, federal authorities said Thursday.
Larry Eugene North was indicted Wednesday on charges of possessing an illegal firearm or destructive device. Authorities said they would evaluate whether to pursue more charges.
I feel sorry for the people Texas, you have to put up with so many loons it's disturbing. Texas it seems is the hub for anti government sentiment, what with Rick Perry and others there in power calling for secession.
Authorities believe North is responsible for planting 36 devices between Feb. 5 and Wednesday, said Robert R. Champion, an agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Authorities previously said they had found at least 16 explosive devices, including five pipe bombs.
"These devices, over 30 in number, have caused fear in this community nothing short of domestic terrorism," prosecutor Brit Featherston said. "Today that fear stops."
North had been under surveillance for about a week before he was arrested Wednesday while placing an explosive in a Tyler mailbox, authorities said. A pipe bomb was found in the van he was driving and bomb-making materials were discovered in his home, they said.
How many is this now? I can count 2 stories off of the top of my head, so I found links for them:
Ho hum. Just another would-be domestic terrorist found with a bomb-making lab. Nothing to see here, just move along
Report: 'Dirty bomb' parts found in slain man's home
More pipe bombs and more destruction against American citizens who are innocent and caught up in this man's and others on the Rights delusional thoughts. But it would seem that this isn't exactly the kind of anti government hate we're used to.
Champion said North's apparent anger with the government stems from a court dispute, but he didn't have any details.
"We know he did not particularly care for the U.S. government," the ATF agent said.
The indictment accuses North of possessing a pipe bomb on or about March 23 — the same day one was found in a mailbox near a woman's home in the small community of Laird Hill, about 115 miles east of Dallas.
Of the 36 devices planted, the final 10 were pipe bombs, Champion said.
"The ones yesterday we felt were ready to go at any time," he said, noting they had a fuse but no timer.
So because of a court dispute, this man decided to plant more than 30 explosives to mailboxes!? Make of that what you will, but I'm sure if we didn't have a news organization whose sole purpose is to piss people off against there government, this wouldn't be happening. And I will state that this is my opinion, there is no proof that he watches Fox News, or that if he is on the right side of the spectrum.
I just feel that to be so anti government, to where you'd murder innocent people just to get your message across, I feel is reminiscent of Timothy McVeigh. How many others have been busted building dirty bombs or creating pipe bombs to murder innoncent lives? How many of those people were on the right, as opposed to the left?

Update I: Looking around the web, blogs and news sites are having no problems calling this guy a right winger. But here are other takes on it from around the web:

Went to check the story at Fox News, of course there are no comments though. But here is the 52 year old Larry Eugene North:
