Fears for Obama

The sooner the fundamentalists in this country are nuetralized, the better

So what you are saying is do away with the document that insures freedom od speech? Are you saying that they cannot voice their opinion even if it is disgusting and crude? Only the message you agree with should get through? What a great county this will become.

Every knew these idiots were going to surface. Using it as a reason to restrict a fundimental right is a even worse fear. This county is going down rapidly. For the first time in my life I am looking to move out as I see no hope for this wekfare third world country.

Racists are scum. To vote against a political candidate because of his race is un-American. Voting for a political candidate because of his race is also un-American and racist.

Why do you state that neo-nazis are "far-right" people. Republicans consider them to be far-left activists. Perhaps Obama's ideas of communism for America are too brutal for even these groups. How much money is Newsweek getting from the Obama campaign? 50, 60 million? Looking forward to that article.

I am a Vietnam Vet and I remember how I was treated, by the very people we were sworn to protect and how we were denigrated and maligned by the Democrat Congress, every time I came back to the USA. I know every single Veteran from that era remembers also, you just do not want to express the outrage that is still there. The very same Democrats are in control of Congress today, the names have changed but they are still the same. The vermin that maligned us then are now in Colleges and Universities across this nation teaching our children their perverted view of this country as well as the Rats in congress looking down their collective noses at our children serving in the Military. It is time for every single Veteran to stand up and voice the rage and repudiate these individuals, every item in the Liberal agenda as well. I did my duty, I did not take my oath lightly then and I do not take it lightly now. I am sick and tired of liberals, their ideas, their plans for our country, their complete disrespect for what our country is and what it stands for. I know you are also. It is time to put these vermin in their place once and for all.

Nazis? I hate Illinois nazis. Hit it.

Why don't we just call the "extreme right" and "extreme left" for what they are...mindless bastions of evil with no inhibitions of implementing their evil against all who disagree with them. I take offense at being "grouped" with such elements as these because my leanings don't agree with someone from the other side. I will stand for what I believe in...but I'm not going to kill you for disagreeing. Vote your mind and shut your name calling mouth.

While groups like these are not in the same league as Al Qaeda they are nevertheless terrorists who must be monitored at all times. Unfortunately they are ignorant, have free access to guns and other ammo, and a death wish to be famous at any cost. A deadly combination.

You should be ashamed of yourself, discredited by Newsweek and ostracized by your peers for drawing such a ridiculous comparison between Al Qaeda and white supremacist (skinheads). Al Qaeda groups have been linked to thousands of murders, including the >3000 people who were killed in the WTC massacre. Perhaps this could have been written off as amusing conjecture if it were an OpEd, but allowing this headline in a news article is simply, sad.

"Not all Musilms are terrorists, but so far all the terrorists have been Muslim." That was the often repeated "logic" of the Right immediately following 9/11. What the Right apparently didn't grasp was that prior to 9/11, the largests terrorist attack in the US was performed in Oklahoma Citty by rightwing white Christians named Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Homegrown terror is real threat.

Regarding comments below by "tinyt".... you claim the big boss white man is the ultimate source of drugs in the US. You couldn't be more wrong. The cocaine comes from Mexican and Columbian drug cartels (the big boss Latino man?) from the fields to the street , and the heroin is overwhelmingly grown by Afghan farmers and then transported to the US by various European criminal elements (Russian, Albanian, etc.). The world is bigger than black vs. white.

Unfortunately, when you lance a wound, you get pus. On the brink of the first African American to become president, did you really think the crazies weren't going to pour out of the woodwork? A racist backlash is inevitable, all part of the healing process. The only way to defeat racism is to expose it.

Even without a presidential election involving a black candidate, there are so many in this country quick to point fingers at minorities when the economy goes sour.

The blogs are full of people pointing fingers at the number of morgage loans made to minorities as the reason we have a mortgage crisis. Somehow, they miss the obvious - it was greedy people on Wall Street that sliced, diced and packaged the adjustable rate mortgages into credit swaps. and it was greedy people on Wall Street that gave these ridiculous things good credit ratings.

Asking banks to lend to minorities is not what gave us the housing crisis - greedy rich people is what gave us the housing crisis. And the reality is that greedy rich people are predominantly white.

Do the skinheads pose a bigger threat to American stability than Al Queda? How do you measure 'bigger'?

Hate, in all it's guises, is and always will be the biggest threat to American stability. No matter what form it comes in.

Im sorry, but arent the republicans basically nazis? Correct me if I am wrong, but the two parties stand for a lot of the same things. They both discriminate against other races, they both are intollerent of homosexuals and they both only care for the wealthiest group.

I hope we're including the Bush/Cheney fascists in the use of the term "Neo Nazis."

These Neo Nazi Skinheads are the greatest threat to our secular democracy because they are the threat within. The "Neo Nazi" Bush administration hasn't bothered to crack down on these nutcases because they voted for him. It's way past time to round up these domestic terrorists and put them in prison where they should rot. Great article Mark and Micheal! About time some courageous reproters take this story to the public.

These threats have to be taken seriously...remember Timothy McVay (or was it McVey)? These animals are the lowest of the low and are easily incited.

Heywood123456: that's pretty racist. So whites don't sell and use drugs? Others don't commit crimes?

You're full of crap. Racist crap.
