James Dobson: "There are no Timothy McVeighs out there right now. "

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,516076,00.html


<snip>

HANNITY: The Department of Homeland Security, Dr. Dobson, is warning law enforcement officials about the rise in right-wing extremist activity. Now some — for example, they would define it as people that maybe think we're not controlling our borders, people that have pro-life bumper stickers.

I'm not Ron Paul's biggest fan, but if you have a Ron Paul bumper sticker you might be viewed as a radical by the government, and I'm thinking, what do you think of that interpretation, especially coming from a guy that started his political career in the home of an unrepentant terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and capital and sat in Reverend Wright's church for 20 years?

DOBSON: Isn't it interesting that the media has jumped all over this when there are many examples of it? There are no Timothy McVeighs out there right now. They're making a big deal out of something that hasn't happened and may not happen. They were also saying today that when the troops come back from Iraq or Afghanistan that they're going to be a big problem because they have military training.

Well, you know, the war didn't just start. It's been going on for eight years, and they're trying to create an issue out of what to this point is a non-issue, and I think for political purposes.

HANNITY: What did you think of Barack Obama's comments that America is arrogant, apologizing for America, and seemingly even apologizing for the Iraq war by saying well, we're not at war with Islam.

Well, no one ever said we were at war with Islam, but radical Islam. What does that mean to you if a president of the United States — it sounds to me like he shares Wright's views that America's chickens have come home to roost?

DOBSON: It almost sounds like Jeremiah Wright in that instance, and you know there's been an understanding by presidents down through history, from the very beginning, that that kind of criticism does not occur, does not go beyond the water's edge, and for him to be on foreign soil with people who have been very, very critical of this country and its president and its military and its people, for him to make that statement deeply offended me. And what bothers me more is there wasn't a greater outcry to it than I would have expected.


:crazy:
