Thom Hartmann: Right Wing Crazies aren't Crazy Anymore...



It turns out those far-right tin foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists aren't that crazy after all. But how did crazy conspiracy theories become unfortunate realities in America today? Ask Attornery General Eric Holder.

Exactly what kind of weapon would be effective against a drone strike? I also tend to think that we are in more danger of domestic right wing terrorists than Al Queda. So, why don't the rules on drone strikes apply equally to any terrorist group. I really don't care if someone I love is killed by a domestic or imported terrorist. Terror is the same no matter the wheres or whys of it.

Now who is the crazy group who thought it could NEVER happen? The fact is it was always a possibility.

Rand may in fact be right about domestic droning, but RWers like him are still CRAZY, just follow Crazy Wayne, Limpo, Hannity, etc. Just don't overstate these nuts sanity, that's all I'm sayin'...

The Executive Branch kills multiple Americans every day! Law Enforcement falls under the Executive Branch & sometimes they are forced to kill for the safety of other cops & the public. The same applies here but with far more oversight than local, state & federal law enforcement has governing who they kill.

Hell, we all just witnessed cops burn a man alive for killing several cops...Where was Thom & his new buddy Rand Paul when this happened?

does sound unthinkable.... especially if a mistake is made....


We have the ACLU just now addressing this ramped up power via the police.... Wait till drones enter the mix..
