Well, they didn’t single out the SDMB specifically. But they did put out a website listing groups that were likely spawning grounds for terrorists, groups which included gays, anti-war organizations, environmentalists, animal rights advocates and abortion opponents.
The website has been taken down. Here’s a link to the story:
Interestingly, I saw no mention of right wing militias, the only group in America that has actually spawned a “let’s blow things up good” terrorist (Timothy McVeigh).
Overall, the list is so stupid that I can’t believe even Alabamians were that dumb. (And that’s saying something.) Alabama, did Texas put you up to this?
Just curious, how many states even have a Department of Homeland Security? And what exactly gives the State of Alabama the right to shut down websites?
Alabama needs its own Department of Homeland Security because they know if we ever decide to give up part of the country to the enemy, they’re going to be high on the list of expendable states.
Especially since the only two “terrorist incidents” in Alabama in recent years were both caused by people that are the political opposites of the ones from that website.
Those being Eric Rudolph’s bombing of a Birmingham abortion clinic, and the busting a month or two ago of a right wing militia that had been stashing hardcore military equipment (like missile launchers and machine guns) in preparation for attacks on hispanics.
Don’t like our mother-fuckin’ website, don’t read it. Don’t like my mother-fuckin’ State, keep your ass out.

Wanna come drink some beer and shoot some pool, dance some and maybe mess around a little about midnight, that’s cool.
The rest of you pinko-commie weak-ass liberal whiney lilly-livered Bush bashin’ Democrat votin’ motherfuckers can take your fat asses to California or New Jersey or some shitty place like New York.
Whoops. I thought that said abortion supporters. Weird for them to be bunched with the rest of the groups in that list. “One of these things is not like the others” indeed.
Still, the recent bust of the milita group counts. Remarkably, none of the press called them “terrorists”, despite the fact that they were more heavily armed than the guys they got who were wanting to attack Fort Dix.
That’s a fairly frightening story, Evil Captor. A bunch of non-“traditional” groups singled out for negative attention by a state department - anyone else reminded of Senator McCarthy, communist witchhunts and blackballing?
John, darlin’, that’s a pretty feeble attempt to evade the charge of spreading ignorance. Y’all were caught with the ignorance red-handed, y’all take the beating for it. Then we can be friends again (and we still like your barbecue).
(And btw, 'Bamians have no business calling anybody else’s asses fat. You folks are one of the nation’s leaders in obesity, along with Texas, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Indiana and Michigan. The average blue-state ass is skinny compared to yours.)
