huh, well first off if there's data on a publicly availble database about the lab distribution then they aren't terribly clandestine, now are they?
fact is that no-one *knows* what the motive behind this is just as no-one *knows* any number of other particularities about any number of other events. but it is nonetheless obvious that there has been both a wave of far right agitation on largely paranoid grounds around the census in particular, about the federal government in general.
it is obvious that in this case, because it points to problems with conservative political actions, folk from the right would be calling for all to be circumspect while in the various depressing (from logical, evidentiary and political viewpoints) thread and/or subthreads about acorn, anything goes with the same people in terms of reckless use of spotty evidence to draw ridiculous conclusions.
so if i understand the subtext, it comes down to the usual partisan nonsense from the right, covered by the usual projections as to everyone else, such that these actions hardly appear actions at all, but rather are Reasonable Responses to What Everyone Does.
but perhaps the same circumspection conservatives are calling for from those who link this crime to the political actions carried out by the neo-fascist set within the conservative coalition should also be asked of them--you don't know that the crime is *not* directly linked to this political agitation either. and the "demonstrations" offered are not compelling.
fact is that we won't know until we know, right?
