And The Politics of Hate Continues
When news of the tragedy in Norway first hit the news, all were certain that it was another terrorist attack by militant Muslims and there was a renewed call to join the fight against terrorism by many world leaders, including President Obama.
Once it was discovered that it was a native Norwegian that subscribed to right wing politics, who was trying to establish a Tea Party which mirrored the one we have in America and called for a revolution against diversity and the Muslimization of Europe, he became a nutcase.
Now many of us have been saying all along that Glen Beck, his followers, Fox News followers, and members of the Tea Party are nutcases. Now they admit it.
I know….amazing right?
What exactly are you talking about? Did you read an article or see a youtube that you’d like to share? What prompted you to right this blog? Just curious…:)
I’m seeing a huge amount of stupid fucking people John. I’m seeing people who are so hell bent against Obama being lead around by their nose rings that they would just as soon see this country fail then to compromise.
Yeah, this one seems to have been a militant Christian extremist… break from the Muslim kind. Not to worry, they wil take up the slack shortly, I’m sure.
I think someones conservative centrist libertarian republicans heart is broken again Moose.
He’s whinning consistently louder with every passing day………….lololool :entertained:
Nope… still say it’s the illuminati… and don’t care what they find out otherwise. Gotta be the illuminati
“The attack in Norway has prompted a debate in Europe over whether the recent electoral success of far-right parties has had any causal linkages to the attack of extremism on full display in Oslo.
Recent success of far-right parties across Europe has actually a lot to do with the fact that the extremist far right has cleaned up and become part of the mainstream. One of the main avenues of electoral success has been the idea that the far right, especially in Nordic and northern Europe — so countries such as Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands — that the far right in these countries is actually the last bastion of liberalism and protector of European-styled tolerance. The idea being that the reason these parties are anti-immigrant is because immigrants coming to Europe, specifically Muslims, are intolerant and that they therefore cannot be part of a tolerant, liberal society. This has played very well with voters in northern Europe.
However, there could be a mechanical linkage between the legitimization of the far right on the electoral side of things and the rise of extremism such as what was on display in Norway. In particular, as the far right becomes part of the electoral process in Europe, as it becomes a legitimate party, political choice for center-right and conservative electorate across many countries, the fringe elements of these parties will feel that they are no longer really capable of expressing themselves in an open forum in these parties. This is really not a novel phenomenon. In the ’60s and the ’70s in Europe the rise of left-wing extremism was in many ways prompted by the failure of the more extremist left-wing political organizations that really effect any change in the process. What happened was that many simply cleaned up and became part of the Social Democratic center-left parties that to this day rule many of the countries in Europe, whereas the fringe elements pursued in some instances extremism and militant attacks.
Therefore, it is very likely that in 2011 there are more individuals such as the attacker in Norway who are contemplating these types of attacks. Outside of a group setting, no longer part of a far-right group because of their ultimate extremism, they may be contemplating similar actions.”
ok I didn’t write the above ,but I wanted to point again that America isn’t exactly the center of the universe and I disagree with “was a native Norwegian that subscribed to right wing politics, who was trying to establish a Tea Party which mirrored the one we have in America and called for a revolution against diversity and the Muslimization of Europe”
