[The Center’s report] says anti-federalists “espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights. Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government. Extremists in the anti-federalist movement direct most their violence against the federal government and its proxies in law enforcement.”[ emphasis added]
Comment:
What violence? What violence has been given as an example? There hasn't been any. The Center's report is about terrorism. Yes, the far right is more a threat than al Qaeda, at least according to this government report.
Otherwise, what was said in the quote is true, but the attempt to smear the opinions as being violent is way over the top.
The left is getting a bit paranoid. The projection is a bit startling to behold sometimes.
