    It's hardly any wonder white nationalist groups are considered domestic terrorists and one of the gravest threats in the US today. I guess the main difference between these shooters and the kind of rhetoric seen here regularly is that the shooters action their beliefs. It's not much of a step away, though. A kind of 'very closely related cousins who are married' deal.

    --

    A pair who shot two police officers and one civilian dead in Las Vegas before committing suicide were reportedly white supremacists harbouring hatred towards security forces.

    Police sources told local press that the swastikas and other supremacist paraphernalia were found in the early stages of the investigation into the attackers, a man and a woman.

    The two were heard shouting "this is a revolution", as they entered a pizza parlour and opened fire on officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who were having lunch.

    The shooters took badges and weapons off the policemen and covered their bodies with a cloth sporting the Gadsden flag, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

    Named after its designer, the US revolutionary general Christopher Gadsden, the yellow flag depicts a coiled rattlesnake above the words "Dont tread on me". It has become a symbol of US patriotism recently adopted by the ultra-conservative Tea Party.

    Does not seem these two were very bright, they murder two police officers, and then they kill themselves, kinda hard to have a revolution if when you shoot your "enemy" then shoot yourself. Sounds more like two morons that were so full of hate that they discided to kill themselves but wanted to leave their mark on the world so they would be remembered, too bad they did not just cut to the chase right off and simply shoot themselves. The world is a better place with these two killers, pray for the families of the victims.

    I think that this IS the conservative revolution. It's just that the revolutionaries really are that amazingly stupid. Like the smiley face one who shot the poor woman in Arizona, they're all so ****** dumb we just think they're insane. And they just love to commit suicide, like the Waco Whackos

    Maybe something will finally get done about the guns once they start to (*)(*)(*)(*) up and shoot a conservative, or maybe their son or daughter.

    And--------------------------------all the school shooters in the last 10 years came from radical left wing families. So what is your point?

    Anybody who believes in Voting Rights for all is a bomb throwing commie by your lites. Maybe the rightonuts are trying to slip their revolution in like planes in chaff. I would certainly not put it past them as most of them WANT collateral damage.

    Country is going to hell real real quickly with way too many wacked out nut jobs on both sides of the political spectrum. We have dogmatic jackasses who see the government as being the enemy while other dogmatic jackasses see the government as being the great savior and willingly sell their souls when the truth, IMHO, is somewhere in between.

    And when might that be? If it indeed happens, it is rare enough to be newsworthy.

    As opposed to all those murders in Chiraq. Or are those murderers actually white supremacists in blackface?

    So we can throw all black people into the same 'thug' bracket because 20 blacks shot at each other in Chicago last week?

    Swastikas in their apartment......they attended the Bundy Ranch protest....and they covered the cops' bodies in the TEA PARTY "Don't Tread On Me" flag.

    Must be "Commies", huh, TC?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Funny how the FIRST reaction of the Right....is never to condemn white supremacists.....just try to change the subject to "evil blacks"???

    As I have stated elsewhere WAY WAY to many arsewipes on both sides of the spectrum. The trash is overflowing the dumpster and nobody wants to deal with it.

    They'll harp on that.....try to "downplay" the connection to the Bundy Ranch and using Tea Party flags.

    BTW, Gateway pundit same rightwing trash heap site where a writer attacked President Obama last year for "abandoning Bowe Bergdahl who was captured by Al Qaeda".....and last week SAME WRITER attacked Bergdahl for "deserting to go join Al Qaeda in 2010".

    It was my response to you condemning all those who fly a Gadsden flag.

    It works both ways you see.

    By the way, Cartels are doing this along the border on a regular basis, gangs are doing this on a regular basis, but you dont care about them.

    Well Gee Golly Gosh it shore nuff don't take long for Puke faced Mark Potock
    to run around like a town crier and declare that.
    Let's wait and see how long this MSM buys hook,line and sinker every word
    this Potok creep spiels.There'll be no calls to just wait and see what any
    investigation turns up.Mark Potok has Spoken.He's knows a far right Supremacist
    Militia when he's paid to unravel them.Potok has also been running his mouth
    off {last 2 years } as to who he declares as possible domestic terrorist.You'll never hear or
    read Potok use words like Liberal or Far left or Radical left in making his
    assessments.Now ... How is that.
    Probably the exact same way Domestic terrorist Bill Ayers was barely
    mentioned,let alone as a fellow colleague of Obama's back in the 90's.
    Funny and ironic how that kinda stuff plays out.

    How easy would it be to either have some police stoolie Lie about what
    was found or just plant it { How many Film Noir flicks involve Police PLANTING
    evidence }.
    Yer nun too bright this day in June.

    Racist....Bundy fans.....using TEA PARTY "Don't Tread On Me" flags. On LESS evidence you've declared mass shooters to be "active members of the Democratic Party".

    And I'm not even talking about the Republican Party.....just part of the IDEOLOGY of the Right.

    Evidence must have been "planted by cops"....or "they were liberals posing as rightwingers"....right, Foolardi?

    Becuase there are NO crazy people on the Right.....God won't allow it. :)

    Is that what the right believes in?

    Sounds kind of like you are just making stuff up to bolster a point of view.

    You'll never hear me say anything about any shooter's political views. Not once. Not on this forum, not ever. Feel free to scour the site, not once have I ever brought up the mounds of evidence that most of the 'headline' shooters are/were democrats. Why? Because the political leanings of a one crazy person doesn't define the group as a whole, and it'd be ignorant to pretend otherwise.

    I don't pretend that there were probably some racists in the Bundy crowd. I also don't pretend there aren't racists in Chicago and the west side of Memphis either, but I wasn't supporting the racists message of a select few members of that group, I was supporting the anti-oppressive message they were spreading.

    Let's not try to twist things around here, although I'm sure you and your HuffPo friends will take a generic flag and run with it.

    To be absolutely straight forward I actually have not seen ONE Crazy person
    acting out in all The Tea Party rallies I saw over a 3 year period.
    Whereas in a mere couple months I rarely saw normal,well behaved
    attutudes demonstrated by the Pelosi blessed - Occupy Wall Street - crowd.
    Explain how that works.Not ONE disruption at a Tea Party event.Which
    reguired Police.Yet at _ Occupy _ events not only where Police were on guard
    watching out for bad behavior but had rocks and bottles thrown at them.
    Even defication on Cop Cars by violent,unruly Mobs,known as the Occupy
    Crowd.
