Off_White Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Do you think "right wing extremist" is insulting or descriptive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Made me curious, so I looked it up. Though hardly the pinnacle of truth, Wikipedia states: The term far right has been used by different scholars in conflicting ways.[2] The term far right is mostly used to describe fascism, Nazism and other ultra-nationalist as well as reactionary ideologies and movements.[3][4][5][6] The BBC has called politician Pim Fortuyn's politics (Fortuynism) far right because of his policies on immigration and Muslims.[7] The term far right has been used by some, such as National Public Radio, to describe certain authoritarian governments that promote free market capitalism, such as that of Augusto Pinochet in Chile.[8][9] Left-wing publication New Left Review has called Ronald Reagan's policies "radical right".[10] The term radical right has also been used to refer to "a libertarian movement which places the individual squarely in the center" and has "even attacked such sacred taboos as taxation".[11] so I guess I'd go with "insulting." I'm a little out of the loop, when did Janet Napolitano declare that the US military was a far right extremist group? They're certainly not radical right in the libertarian sense, the individual is nowhere near the center, Army Of One ad campaigns notwithstanding, and it seems that military personnel don't have full constitutional rights.

olyclimber Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 my bet is that the primary demographic purchasing such a shirt is not in the military Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hmmm, I just did a little shallow reading on the subject, which seems to be a DHS report about potential growth in right wing extremist groups, including the suggestion that they may recruit from within the ranks of returning veterans, as well as the suggestion that the personal suffering our recession is causing might create fertile ground for xenophobes intent on blaming "the other." Sounds to me like if you think Napolitano called you a right wing extremist, you probably are one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Perhaps unlike Necrophilia there, these guys have all sworn to uphold the constitution and have given our country the right to send them to their deaths to fulfill the obligation to that pledge. Perhaps that is something some may fear....not me. I think it's something which is to be appreciated, celebrated and treasured. Sorry, mistyped her name there. Necrophilic explained My bad.

ivan Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 tempest in a teapot - i thought you desert warriors were a tough breed? - some heinious looking old lady said that, perhaps, a growth in hate groups could be fueled in part by disgruntled soldiers and you get all blubbery like she was saying you're all monsters and baby killers? it might be fun though to waltz down memory lane and id some veterans who did in fact go extremist... lessee, should we start w/ the founder of the most famous hate-group ever? anyone? nathan bedford forest - the kkk - a political organization for what? ah, yes, pissed off former soldiers. did i say most famous? maybe i wasn't giving the nazi party its proper due - the founder - why yes, i think he was a former soldier, and his brown shirts too. lee harvey oswald? timothy mcveigh? terry nichols? ok - not the longest of lists but i'm going home now - i'm sure there's plenty of plumbers and postmen and teachers who've gone psycho leftie/rightie too, but then no one's saying they're all nuts either - the idea of watching folks who have learned and applied the skill of killing human beings in the name of a political goal to see if they've gone round the bend sounds like common sense to me though.

Whats your real name, maybe I'll send you a shirt. This was recommended by a Cuban who's buddy was a friend of this wank Che: turned out, wank was truly a murdering scum in real life according to the Cuban.
