ADL Calls Tea Partiers Conspiracy Theorists, and Alex Jones the Conspiracy King

The Anti Defamation League has on its website, ADL.org, a report called Rage grows in America: Anti-Government Conspiracies in which there are a series of "special reports" about a growing rage in America calling the tea party movement, Birther movement, Oath Keepers, among others- 'Anti-government movements', and Alex Jones (a radio and talkshow host) "the conspiracy King."

In a section of their article Labeled The Tea Parties , they claim "While most people attending Tea Party events claim they harbor no extreme views, many of the ideas they promote fall outside the mainstream, especially the more conspiratorial ones." They go on to say that some of these angry protesters "have frequently made claims ranging from proclaiming Obama's 'socialist' intentions to making explicit Nazi comparisons to suggesting that the President is defying or even subverting the Constitution."

Is it extreme to simply point out the truth of the Obama administration, and their subversion of the Constitution? ( Where in the Constitution does it say the President can have a Cash for Clunkers Program, or Government run healthcare?)

Its also clear to see in the article that the ADL apparently wants to paint the picture of the Tea Party Movement as an angry mob of radical nuts.Yet they wrote Nothing in the article to suggest that the fears of the Tea Party protesters might be well founded, you know, like moving toward a socialist nation run by Oligarchy in light of all the drastic "Change" in the current administration. But they were clear to point out the idea that the Tea Party movement might lead to open rebellion!

In another section of the article titled The Town Hall Meeting Disruptions , The ADL again paints the picture of extremism coming from conservative and far-right organizations saying that these protesters "encouraged people to attend the town hall meetings..." and that  "... Protesters expressed rage at elected officials and many of the meetings erupted into chaos."  Think about it for a moment, our country is tied down in two foreign conflicts in the Middle East at a cost of  $10.9 Billion a month, a loss of around 5,000 precious U.S. soldiers, unemployment in the Nation is at 10.2% (17.2 % if you count the underemployed), The current national debt is over $12 trillion dollars, we have nearly 20 million illegal immigrants in our country, we owe China $800 billion, Homeland Security-FEMA- and all the other agencies are crowding and restricting our lives on a daily basis, government run healthcare is being shoved down our throats with threats of fines and/or imprisenment if we don't get coverage............ AND WE SHOULDN'T BE ANGRY??????

Yet, in most cases, it was not the conservative right wingers who attacked, assaulted and caused most of the chaos at these town hall meetings, but the Leftist Obama loyalists who usually became violent. (Just watch some of the You Tube videos).

You can then check out still another section of the  article called Part Two: Anger on the Fringes - Alex Jones, the Conspiracy King .  In this article the ADL then goes on to say that Alex Jones ( a Texas based radio and talk show host) is the counterpart to Glenn Beck, and that Alex "has engaged in conspiracy mongering virtually his entire adult life, coming of age during the surge of anti-government activities in the mid 1990s."

Were the reports and documentaries made by Alex Jones mere conspiracies, or were they not facts?Around that time we can recall the Randy Weaver tragedy, and the Waco conflagration- both of which were perpetrated by our federal government, and ended in multiple deaths (including children) caused by the 'mishandlings' of the federal government. This is not theory folks. These are the facts. Whether or not you agree with the ways of the Branch Davidians, or the beliefs of Randy Weaver and his family, the fact is that the government in both cases can be characterized as the extremists who went overboard into chaos and ultimately mass killing.

If you go to the section at the top of the ADL website about ADL , it states in part:

 The Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1913....
That's odd, so was The Federal Reserve! We all know that the Feds are out there to help stablize the economy and keep us out of the boom and bust cycles- and what a job they've done!

...Now the nation's premier civil rights/human relations agency, ADL fights anti-semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all.
You will notice they defend "democratic ideals". Don't they mean democrats and their ideas? It seems to me that they support the idea of "democracy" and with those ideals, all the great social change that Obama Politburo can muster from the dusty pages of  The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels.

The next movement on their list to discredit is the Birther movement . About the movement, the ADL states in part:
  In addition to the anger against the Obama administration, there has been an attempt by a wide range of  Obama opponents to delegitimize him by claiming that he is not an American citizen. This conspiracy theory started even before Obama became President and its believers have become part of what is known as the "Birther" movement.
They name Philip Berg, Orly Taitz, and Jerome Corsi as conspiracy theorists. Philip Berg is an Attorney out of Pennsylvania who first filed a lawsuit challenging Obama's eligibility as President contending that Obama was not born in the United States. Orly Taitz is a lawyer out of California who has also challenged Obama's eligibility as President, and has petitioned to see a true birth certificate to verify Barack Obama's place of birth. If Obama was born in Hawaii, on U.S. soil, then why won't he simply produce a long form version of his birth certificate and put the whole ordeal to rest? Instead, Obama has spent at least $1.7 million to keep the birth certificate question out of the courts, according to World Net Daily News.

My whole take on this series of articles titled 'Rage Grows in America: Anti- Government Conspiracies' is met for one purpose only- to defend Obama's policies, and to discredit the Constitution, the idea of our country as a Republic, and to make those into terrorists who would defend the two principles just mentioned!
I think I will renaim their organization - ODL - Obama's Democratic Lynchmob.
