Bush Admin: Too many right wing terrorists in the news, we need more left wing radicals covered

[ck4829]

A New Jersey blogger scheduled to go on trial next week on charges that he threatened three federal judges in hate-filled postings has subpoenaed the state's governor-elect to testify on his behalf.

Harold "Hal" Turner of North Bergen claims that he was a federal government informant and that the postings targeting the judges and other inflammatory statements were part of an undercover operation to ferret out violent left-wing radicals.

In an affidavit filed with the subpoena, Turner lawyer Michael Orozco says Gov.-elect Chris Christie knew of Turner's activities between 2002 and 2008 while Christie was U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Orozco says Christie issued a letter saying he would not prosecute Turner for his statements.

In the affidavit, Orozco says that Turner was approached by federal authorities in 2002 to "act as an agent provocateur; to make statements that would bring out left-wing radicals to commit acts of violence" because the government already had enough informants among white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

So, Hal Turner's job was to broadcast extreme right wing rants that would bring the radical... leftists out to play?

This does sound like something the Bush Admin would do.

He was one of those US attorneys who "served at the pleasure" of Bush.

3. Naw, that man is crazy

and has delusions of grandeur. While right wingers like to break store windows during peaceful marches, even they aren't dumb enough to hire a loose cannon like Turner.
