from the article about that neo-fascist fuckwit peter king's circus hearings:

In this atmosphere, King’s selective hyperbole and his planned hearing on “American Muslim radicalization” has been criticized extensively as a terrible idea by people including Representative Michael Honda (D-CA), hundreds of Christian, Je...wish, and Muslim religious leaders and members of the clergy. Even conservative commentator and frequent Muslim-basher Daniel Pipes thinks that King's hearing is misguided. The liberal advocacy organization Muslim Advocates and other advocacy groups all agree: the hearings are counterproductive to stopping terrorism at best, and will very likely be nothing more than a prominent showcase of racist misinformation. A cadre of experts gathered on Capitol Hill last week to offer a briefing to Congress on Islamophobia and to show why the King hearing would be counterproductive. Many advocates have implored King to change the focus of his hearing away from singling out Muslims and toward investigating violent extremists of all kinds. The lack of any evidence that the hearing is necessary for improving counterterrorism efforts shows that it isn’t really about “Muslim radicalization” at all. The hearing is all about Peter King, and his role as an ideological kingmaker for his party.

racist paranoia. imaginary conspiracies.
conservative politics 101.
check.
people in north africa are revolting against the neo-liberal state, which is essentially meaningless blah blah blah about democracy and free markets and all that nonsense sitting atop a neo-fascist identity politics the main function of which is the justify the existence of a national-security state apparatus, which takes more or less directly oppressive forms in different places. in the u.s. of a., a fake issue of "balanced budgets" is taken on by the republicans in the house through cuts that do not touch a single military program, they do not reduce the unbelievable waste of resources that have gone down the toilet of the surveillance and paranoia system:

from the piece that argues tunisia is more free than the united states, above:
Quote:
The Fourth Amendment is on the verge of vanishing, and this attack on the Constitution is being abetted by pusillanimous and corrupt judges and fascistic elements in our national security apparatus. Freedom of peaceable assembly is also being whittled away in the United States of America via devices such as ‘free speech zones;’ the founding generation intended that the whole of the United States be a free speech zone. Many of the protests in the Middle East being cheered on by Americans would be illegal in this country.
Few among the public even seem to care about these assaults on our liberties here. At least the youth of the Middle East can generate a little passion over censorship and unreasonable surveillance. Makes an old Madisonian tear up a little.

you don't know what you're talking about.
it's obvious.

A young woman in the ME can be raped and then murdered by her own family in many parts of the ME with no justice (and they are not even fighting for any rights for the young woman in this revolution), and you find that comparable to...what that "conservatives" are doing in the country? Unbelievable.
