Isn’t it funny how the folks telling us not to criticize the FBI because it will cause violence have no problem using the same type of heated rhetoric against conservatives? It might be a bit funny – but it is not surprising. This is politics. Progressives seem particularly hypocritical at this time.
Edward Luce is associate editor at The Financial Times,A tweet by a braindead about the GOP was posted by him. He said:
I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. There is nothing comparable.

As if that wasn’t egregious enough, former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden chimed in, expressing his agreement with Luce’s sentiment. “Yes. And I was the CIA Director,” he tweeted.
I agree. And I was the CIA Director https://t.co/LRAHDDyy4n

In essence, Luce and Hayden contend that Republicans are worse than al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Rosie O’Donnell, who are among the detestable folks on Earth. Particularly, the radical Islamic terrorist organizations have massacred and tortured innocents all over the globe. The Republican Party, however, is worse than 2022.
These people don’t believe it. They are just saying this hoping their audience will be gullible enough to buy into it – and they might be right in many cases. Matt Taibbi (journalist) pulled the tickets for them after calling them dishonest. Twitter:
So “today’s Republicans” are more dangerous than ISIS, Al-Qaeda, etc? Given that you used drones to assassinate members of the latter groups, do you think that’s indicated here?

Bottom line: The GOP isn’t an extremist organization, and not all of its members hold extreme views. Luce, Hayden and others still tried to demonize people for not agreeing with them.
But this isn’t the first time, right? It wasn’t that long ago when a major teachers union colluded with the Justice Department to label parents protesting critical race theory as “domestic terrorists,” right?
Even now, progressives are throwing out the term “stochastic terrorist” to describe those criticizing or questioning the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s home. They are coming up with new and creative ways to stoke fear by villainizing those who don’t buy into their political beliefs. I suppose this means this is a day ending in the letter “y.”
