Pentagon Calls Protests "Low-Level Terrorism"

Fox News reported last week that the following question appears on a Department of Defense employee's routine training exam:

"Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism?"

— Attacking the Pentagon

— IEDs

— Hate crimes against racial groups

— Protests

The correct answer, according to the exam, is "Protests."

Funny that this didn't come to light while the Left was protesting the war effort, or gathering together for "hate-Bush" rallies while defacing monuments in Washington DC. Oh, wait, that was citizens expressing themselves. When Conservatives protest, it becomes Low-Level Terrorism, and leads to the government determining that dissent against them is suddenly suspect and questionable.

In the age of Tea Parties, suddenly those that would participate have now been labeled Low-Level Terrorists and Rightwing Extremists. The real radicals, however, belongs to the Left, and always has.
