After the revelation that Attorney General Merrick Garland had lied and that the FBI had created a “tag” to target parents protesting school board and educratic policies, Democrats and their media are frantically explaining why it’s not at all a big deal.
Let’s contrast that with the outrage on the part of Democrats and the media when the FBI targeted Muslims and black nationalists.
We don’t have to speculate.
Hardly a week goes by when the media doesn’t do another story about the FBI “monitoring” or “spying” on Muslims.
And top Democrats and the media vocally demanded that the FBI entirely eliminate the category of black nationalist terrorism, which may have helped such attacks take place and succeed, as I discussed earlier.
Booker had grinned at a Senate grilling of FBI Director Christopher Wray. “So, you no longer use the term Black Identity Extremism,” he had gloated. “That’s great news.”
“So nobody is being investigated or surveilled under black identity extremism?” he demanded.
At the Senate hearing, Booker followed the same talking points as other defenders of black nationalism did, objecting to Director Wray’s suggestion that racist violence was coming from both sides of the spectrum. “That language you said, both ends of the spectrum, the murders at synagogues, the murders we’ve seen motivated,” he rambled. “You said both ends of the spectrum, as if there actually is a movement of black identity extremism: it’s almost creating this reality.”
“The Trump Administration is conjuring up the idea that ‘Black Identity Extremists’ are a threat to our communities, particularly the safety of the brave men and women who serve in law enforcement. There is just one problem though: there is no such movement. No serious journalists or academics have written about or even found that ‘Black Identity Extremists’ exist,” Booker had posted on Facebook.
That was in 2017. That same year, black nationalists Micah X. Johnson and Gavin Long, had murdered 8 police officers in mass shootings. These were some of the crimes that Senator Booker claimed didn’t exist.
And he wasn’t alone.
Booker, along with Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Dick Durbin, Senator Chris Coons, Senator Amy Klobuchar, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and Senator Richard Blumenthal had sent a letter to Attorney General Barr this year claiming that “so-called ‘Black identity extremists'” was a “fabricated term based on a faulty assessment of a small number of isolated incidents.”
The media backed Booker, Kamala, and the rest of the gang all the way. So we know how they react to the FBI merely classifying groups and monitoring threats from them.
Democrats and their media just happen to believe that the FBI should not be allowed to monitor black nationalists or Muslim terrorists, but should be monitoring parents who object to critical race theory in schools.
Robert Frankling says
It’s a big deal. Vote them out. This is judicial overreach.
Threatening a local politician is a local policing matter.
Parent’s are not trying to flay airplanes into big children. They just want the officials to go back to the three ‘Rs’ and leave political indoctrination out of school curricula and put the love of country back in … where it belongs.
Love it or leave it. The Dems are now an America-hating globalist party.
Robert Frankling says
CORRECTIONS: Parent’s are not trying to FLY airplanes into big BUILDINGS.
(Don’t know about you, but the faint, small print in the typing box is hard to read. A ‘correction’ or ‘edit’ feature should be added by the software manager.)
gregbeetham says
Yeah I wanted that feature too but the objection was that people alter what they said after someone had answered them which then made the reply out of context.
But I’ve been at better blog sites where you can choose ‘quote’ and then you or the OP can’t alter the quote that you responded too.
I type up my responses in MS Word first which makes it a lot easier, then it’s just a matter of copy-paste.
Another beef is there is no provision for PM chit chat.
Keith O says
Given the one sided way that the Dumbacraps and their media mouthpieces are force feeding a particular storyline about who is or who isn’t a threat to the world, then this is starting to look more and more like a totalitarian government in the making.
Don’t like someone who speaks out? Put em on the watch list. A parent is concerned about the poisoning of their childrens minds at school? Put em on the watch list.
That doesn’t work because there are too many free thinkers? Call em Domestic Terrorists.
Infidel says
I’d have had a lot more respect for the FBI if they did that (targeted BLM or muslims w/ ‘Threat Tags’), even if I conceded the problematic aspect of violating the bill of rights

I watched a show called The FBI Files. Most of the shows episodes take place in the 20th century. Back then the FBI went after kidnappers, bank robbers, criminal gangs and serial killers. Now, they are after moms, Americans that want honest elections and other non-nefarious persons. Being an FBI agent today seems like a pretty cushy job compared to back then.
tgusa says
There was one episode where white weatherman chicks joined with black nationalist dudes in robbing armored cars and killing people in the process. They were working together to finance their effort to destroy the USA. One commenter on the show stated, we had no idea that these diverse groups would rally together. He didn’t say “diverse’ that was my word. They eventually caught them all and they did not use swat teams like they are doing today against old men and grandmas. The agents were a bunch of guys in raincoats going in to arrest heavily armed militants.
Snippets from another site. An FBI raid in Colorado.
“Today large teams of heavily armed federal agents, using a battering ram to break down doors, raided the homes of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and several of her friends and colleagues, mostly elderly women in their mid-60s,”
“Essentially, they were soldiers in combat gear. They were not men in suits with badges,” Peters said. “They looked very much like they were in a combat zone — soldiers with automatic weapons and combat gear.”

Good gosh. My how things have changed and not for the better.

tgusa,
Thank you for the link.
Also:
“Lindell said one home raided belonged to Sherronna Bishop, a former campaign manager of Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado.”
