Neil, firstly, please do not insult my intelligence by asking "Are you aware of the logical and background to rational debate, and of the responsibilities expected of those who engage?",
Second, you completely avoided my point, you can essentially compare anything even if they have no correlation. This whole article is like comparing apples and oranges, sure they have similarities. An apple is pretty much round and so is a orange, they are both edible, they both have a layer of skin, but does this mean they are the same? No. What if I wrote a paper about how similar you are to the Taliban? would you like it? but you have so many similarities, you both have skin, you both have a brain, legs, arms, you both eat, sleep, argue, lie, have faith is something etc...this does not mean you are "the same" as them. My whole point is, there is no point in the article, it has no meaning or clout at all and I do not understand what the point of making this comparison would be.
Juan, if you wrote this article on the reasons Cliven Bundy was in the wrong, and why the militia shouldn't have gone to his aid, I could understand, there is a point. To me it seems like you are just trying to turn them into terrorists which I do not understand or agree with.
Those were not actual militia as the groups that went to aid Bundy and you do realize there are extremists in ever aspect of society, you cant lump them all into one group because of one issue. No one was attacked, No one was killed, No one was even hurt except for the individual that was tazed.
Examples:
"All Catholics are bad because of some of the scandals in the church" "All Christians are bad because some bombed abortion clinics" "All of our military is bad because some of them raped and killed women" and I could go on and on.
Oh, you just conveniently happened to leave out the fact that the Taliban kill innocent people and terrorize the globe, while Bundy and the militia do not. The "right wing pundits", as you like to refer to them as, would never promote terrorism or their organizations.
Stop trying to use extremes like this to compare things that are not comparable.
Here is an example of why you are crazy:
You are supporting a government that is trying to run everything and tell everyone one what to do. You must also think Hitler was amazing, and you would be supporting him if he was around right now.

Just so you are aware, I was not baiting about Hitler I was showing extremes of why his statements are comparing two things which are not comparable.
