    Thumbs down FBI Raids Homes of Anti-War Activists

    The FBI has confirmed that it carried out at least eight raids on the homes and offices of antiwar activists in Minneapolis and Chicago at 7 a.m. on Friday.

    The FBI claimed to the seeking “evidence relating to activities concerning support of terrorism.” Though no arrests were made in the raids, subpoenas were issued to those targeted ordering them to appear before a Chicago grand jury on October 12. Federal agents confiscated computers and cell phones, in addition to thousands of documents, books, and letters.

    There are as yet unconfirmed reports that other raids also took place in Michigan and North Carolina.

    The raids, carried out under the auspices of the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), are a transparent attempt to intimidate political opponents of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They come on the heels of a Justice Department inspector general’s report revealing massive police infiltration and spying on antiwar groups and other political dissenters in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

    Among the groups evidently targeted are the Twin Cities Anti-War Committee, Students for a Democratic Society, Colombia Action Network, the Palestine Solidarity Group, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and possibly the Arab-American Action Network.

    The FBI admitted the targeted individuals posed no danger and said it did not intend at this point to make arrests. “These were search warrants only,” said FBI agent Steve Warfield in Minneapolis. “We’re not anticipating any arrests at this time. They’re seeking evidence relating to activities concerning the material support of terrorism... There’s no imminent threat to the community.”

    Of course, we have nothing to worry about freely expressing our opinions in America. "It could never happen here..."

    Imagine that, a leftist government acting like jack-booted thugs. Who'd of thunk it? Historically, nothing like that has ever happened before...has it...

    As you know I rarely award a +1 and Oswald gets the first one since the Board has been back up.

    The difference is leftists, communists etc is their methodology. They begin by making people walk to the killing fields. Then they are forced to dig a large pit. Next they walk into the pit, forced stand in a line to get as many in the mass grave as possible, then they shoot you. Then the next bunch does the same until the pit is filled.

    That is the first group, the second group gets to cover the first mass grave then start digging their own.

    Cambodia is an excellent example of how the communists conserve energy as compared to Nazis.

    I guess and as no one ever found a hint of a mass grave; they were a lot better at it than the Nazis, the Cambods, Stalin or Mao...

    The difference is simple; no matter what you claim about Nixon or Hoover, there aren't any mass graves and no millions of missing people filling them to be found. Although it took decades even Stalin who blamed his mass graves on the Nazis got found out.

    No missing multitudes, no mass graves filled with bones are the difference between a real event and another conspiracy theory.....

    Until this story is confirmed by a legitimate source I'm considering it bull shit. How many of you actually clicked on the link provided by the troll? Did you actually take a look at the source? That's a communist web site and only a damned fool would believe anything found on it. I'd also suggest to those siding with LAGC in this thread.......get a fucking clue rubes.

    You're such a pathetic dumbass! The "antiwar movement" in America has a long history of associating with very violent and even warlike movements since WWI. Yep, even in WWII and Korea. Worse still, many of the sixities "antiwar radicals" went to places like Cuba, N. Ireland, and had ties to the PLO, all with the intent of becoming violent revolutionaries here in America.

    Shhheeeessh

    Know some real history, asshole!

    With most of the bill of rights in shambles, the assault on the first amendment continues.

    It is funny how most people, feds included, don't realize that there are 5 points to the first amendment. It is not just freedom of speech, religion and the press.

    And you're completely convinced that this group was raided for no good reason? Also, are you comfortable associating with the likes of an LAGC, and those behind the linked website? If so then your concerns hold no value for me.

    Based on prior experience with them I find them to be distasteful so I'm not exactly an anti-war activist. Based on past history they have committed acts of terrorism..

    When they get to cheering American's killed in war they make both my bowels and bladder want to vent on them...

    Maybe however judging by the Framers actions being a loyalist was not wise as one's freedom of speech was regained after being deported. OTOH, it could be they were allowed to speak freely the whole way to the border??

    Do you believe the Founders and Farmer's would have actually protected the WBC under the First??

    The Founders and Framer's of this nation weren't warm fuzzy old white guys.
