DLS- No No No, Tim McVeigh was MOST CERTAINLY a Neocon! By his OWN words McVeigh attacked the Murrah federal building in retaliation for the FBI’s action at Waco, against the “Branch Dividian” nutjobs. An action based on the suspected violation of firearm laws. A violent action against the Federal government would be classified as politically Reactionary.

The word Reactionary was replaced by Neocon on the political spectrum.

The attack MO was similar to that of Islamic extremists (e.g. the Beirut truck bombing and the 1993 WTC bombing) and there is some history of radical Islamic activity in the area. It isn’t racism to notice things like that; don’t feel too guilty, Shaun.

Neocons are far right. I believe Bush’s poll numbers are a fair implication of this.

White Agent, McVeigh was not a neocon. He had become a violent member of the far right, which is obviously not neocon (such people are similar to paleocons). Why do you see (and blame) a neocon everywhere (for everything)?

Very interesting reminder that the event that ushered in “the terrorism age in America” was committed by a NEOCON.

And

That the early and obviously unsubstantiated accusations made with comments on THIS BLOG that a Muslim was killing students at Virginia Techâ€¦.also came from a NEOCON.

Brain dead political ideology or just stupid people?

Shaun, that’s a very good lesson to keep in mind. Thanks for posting this.

It’s impossible to know exactly how many bloggers were spouting off prematurely about the horror at Virginia Tech. Too many of the ones I read, I know. Even now it seems that are up for debate.

This is not to say that America does not have Muslim enemies, however. It’s my hope that there won’t be so many cries of “Wolf!” that we will give up the habit of vigilance.
