ME: LePage meets with terrorists (no joke)

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Can you name an actual terrorist act committed by the SC movement?

I already read that. All I see is a ton of people charged with tax fraud.

The SC is not an organized movement. You can't call an adherent of a fanciful ideology terrorist when no organized terrorist structure exists….unlike, say, the Weather Underground (I’m joking of course, I don’t see Obama’s association with Bill Ayers as something worth noting).

I have to agree with this.  Just because you have crazy ideas, that doesn't mean you're responsible for the behavior of people with similar crazy ideas.  Just because you're friends or acquaintances with another person, you're not responsible for their behavior.

Republicans rather are cultivating the support of crackpots and mentally ill people.  That's their offense.  It's like if Cynthia McKinney was a mainstream Democrat. 

I certainly agree that LePage meeting with these people is not a wise decision.

Can we not extend the term "terrorist" to anybody who is associated with something that makes the FBI uncomfortable?

Not when they're specifically designated as a terrorist organization...

By whom? I mean, if the FBI thinks the SC movement is a terrorist organization and you take their word for it, then you should also designate Martin Luther King as a terrorist. The same logic applies.
