Gun laws in USA??

The hard right movement largely grew under Obama as a backlash to extreme leftist ideology

When did you start doing stand up?

Interesting article.

A couple of points resonate with me.

1. He says the Right must own these people, and he compares them to Islamic extremists, but the opposite argument was applied to Muslims owning Islamic Extremists.

2. He argues that "The Left remains a rational movement" when it has always been based on ideology and emotive concepts with rationality applied as a veneer

3. He referred to el Paso as a "Porous" town. For some reason having been there, I take that as an insult although I'm unclear what he meant by that description so it may not be.

Otherwise, it's a reasonable bake. The percentage of white, male, right wing people who are white supremacists capable of this sort of stuff would likely be similar or less than the number of Muslims who are extremists capable of terrorist actions. By all means in both cases preventative steps need to be taken

Good point. The eternal double-standard of the political zealot.

For someone who; beats his own drum, blows his own trumpet and has more tickets on himself than Shane Warne, you still struggle to grasp facts. Very intriguing.

If I posted "Another Arab Muslim murders again" I'd be banned in a heartbeat. Your racism is disgusting.

Rubbish and you know it is. Need to stop burying your head in the sand. There's a huge problem for the right in the West and that is racist white males being enabled and embloldened by fellow travellers. Don't tell me your're feeling a tad guilty?

Further to white right racist males feeling emboldened and empowered we don't need to look too far. In fact in our own backyards there is an upsurge (I don't know if I necessarily agree with the suugested prescription) however:

Given that the swastika has been used for thousands of years in Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese culture one could argue that Dr. Abramovich's desire to impose a single, western interpretation of the swastika upon all of Australia's diverse ethnic communities is perhaps a touch "white supremacist".

Yes indeed, all those radical Hindus in the various right-wing neo nazi groups. Blair Cotrell is a well known Hindu. Jim Saleem is known to have Buddhist tendencies.

Most swastika graffiti is stupid teens being edgy or things like this:

Of course in France and the UK it's probably Jew hating new arrivals. Hitler/Nazism and Islam have always had a close relationship.

When I was a kid it was the Anarchist symbol that edgy teens liked to scrawl all over the place, having little to no idea what it means. The swastika though gets instant gratification. Imagine the morons having a laugh at that Age article about a "Swastika Epidemic".

Not sure is he’s racist and right wing but what are the odds? (That’s a rhetorical question)
