- CB810, on 11/02/2009, -0/+15I wonder about that Nazi guy. Was it really that easy to switch him over to the other side?
- jonglebeats, on 11/03/2009, -0/+9Looks more like he wants a reason to form a militia.
- whatthefu, on 11/03/2009, -1/+9I guess he is attracted to radicalism.
- piratefish, on 11/02/2009, -0/+8sometimes, it just takes common knowledge to be phrased a little differently before it clicks.
- maus56, on 11/03/2009, -0/+6Thanks for your opinion, Adolf.
- inactive, on 11/03/2009, -3/+8Oh great...you're one of those guys...
- TeCuervo, on 11/03/2009, -0/+5But is a militia really, REALLY necessary?
Couldn't he just say he was wrong and create a blog or something?
"a far-left militia aimed at forming a one-world government [to do nice things]" - DaDrake, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3This article sucks. There are so many better examples out of history; for example, Nathan Forrest was a civil war lieutenant for the confederacy who was one of the founding fathers of the KKK and some historian suspected to be one of the unknown great wizards. But, towards the end of his life, he denied his membership, encourage the KKK to disband, and even wrote/spoke about blacks and whites living in harmony. Did his view actually change? Hard to say... perhaps he thought there was an afterlife and he was about to get an internal ass raping from Satan himself. Then again, the KKK truly started out as a type of frat-house (AKA ... excuse for men to get together, bitch, drink, and smoke cigars) and became more radical 3-4 years after its creation (as more members joined). Like most Americans, I suspect he didn't think blacks were equal (why would you, none were educated and when one group is abused, it is human nature to assume they deserve it), was scared of the implications of their freedom (*****, you been beating them for generations and now they know about the 2nd amendment... I would be scared also), but was greatly disturbed by the raping and killing of black people... and thus he tried to distance himself from it.
I could go on citing countless events from history... and this author picks some young-adult hillbilly who started a club house and then changed his mind when he was watching Obama? Give me a break... - charliecharlos, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3Anyone more interested in the Halloween Girls Gone TOO Wild article?
- mactackle52, on 11/03/2009, -0/+3Forrest is definitely a good example of this. He started the klan with the goal of preventing carpetbaggers from harassing the locals, the movement was perverted, and he separated from it.
- _loopy_, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2I learned about Brandon Darby on an episode of This American Life. Worth a listen.
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx ... - jbmcb, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2If you listened to the story and read the article, you'd have learned that:
- Darby "changed sides" because, on a trip to Venezuela, the attache from Chavez's administration tried to get Common Ground to start a guerrilla organization in the swamps of Louisiana, and the people he was with were a little too cool with it.
- One of the guys convicted of the RNC plot admitted that Darby hadn't really lead them into anything, that they were going to go ahead themselves, with or without his help. - 15charactername, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2Nope, one of those guys that plays word games and feels righteous about it.
- kd1s, on 11/03/2009, -0/+2Yes I remember that episode of This American Life. Reminds me I need to catch up on my podcasts.
The one that really tickles me is the departure of two guys who helped found that stupid ex-gay organization. I hate to burst anybodies bubble but being gay is an immutable characteristic, sort of like eye color. - piratefish, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1sorry but economic issues are definitely not what define the left/right axis.
- BalzacOG, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1"The United Globalist Movement- a far-left militia aimed at forming a one-world government to stamp out racism, prejudice, religious extremism, poverty and environmental evils."
He'll have to get in line behind me. I'm a natural gang-lord, so I don't have to start any militia. I'm not far-left either, on economic matters, and that is what defines the Left/Right axis. I've been environmentally aware for a very long time, and I've never been religious, nor am I a zealot against religion.
This guy is a classic "angstivist". He started out full of crap and ***** sure about it. Now he's let go of his biggest error and he's seized onto some new errors and expanded his ambitions. He'll probably find his place in society one of these days. It won't be in command of any global militia. - BalzacOG, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1Wow, I remember Common Ground. I did relief work in New Orleans after Katrina. I'm not surprised to find out that Common Ground started by an "angstivist". Now he reversed course and became an informant? Well, that's kind of embarrassing for him.
Were those guys whom he caught really committed to doing something violent and destructive before he entrapped them? That's when entrapment becomes a little bit suspect as a tactic. What if he convinced them and they wouldn't have otherwise been interested in doing anything militant?
If so, their crime is being suggestible. Some people are gullible and they'll do almost anything a charismatic leader spends enough time persuading them to do. I'd have to know more about the people he stung, but it's shady business. - omgwtflawl, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1MADD can DIAF.
- Gudamor, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1Whoa that's so weird, it's almost as if politics isn't really a straight-line continuum, and people just refer to it as such for simplicities sake.
- piratefish, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1indeed
- HexiumVII, on 11/03/2009, -1/+1This list forgot about PETA.
- gsm54321, on 11/03/2009, -0/+0Patrick Moore helped found Greenpeace and now considers them crackpots.
- fragMasterFlash, on 11/03/2009, -1/+1Where's the Gimp?
He's sleeping.
Well... WAKE UP THE BURY BRIGADE! - mitch88, on 11/03/2009, -1/+1Well they all make sense but the last one!
Justin Boyer left the NAZI ideology for a far left ideology.
Um hello, read any history?
NAZI means National SOCIALIST party.
Hitler publicly thanked Carl Marx as his great inspiration.
It is a fabrication of the left starting back in the Spanish Civil war to *pretend* that the fascists and the marxists are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. It is as absurd and wrong as any lie ever told. The 2 are virtual twins.
Here's a brief YouTube video for the hoodwinked:

- Tyrghast, on 11/03/2009, -6/+2one of those guys? you mean someone who cares about equality for all regardless of color, creed or sex?
- Tyrghast, on 11/03/2009, -11/+7"and after working together for several years (presumably while taking lots of cold showers) they each divorced their wives and got gay married in 1979"
Buried for inaccuracy.
They got married, doesn't matter their orientation, the end. - inactive, on 11/03/2009, -6/+1"The United Globalist Movement- a far-left militia aimed at forming a one-world government to stamp out racism, prejudice, religious extremism, poverty and environmental evils."
This sounds alot worse than the Neo-Nazi group.He shouldn't have left.
