Here's one for the books...

Turns out, if you go to the Target of Opportunity website, HJHOP is listed as a member of the "True America." While I like to think that is true, I'm not entirely sure that they have read more than one or two of my posts related to, say, PETA, the ALF or Stormfront. Because I am pinko scum. They seem to have put me alongside the Heritage Foundation, Horowitz's FrontPage Magazine, Jihad Watch (yikes!), Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, Stop the ACLU (there goes another donation!) and WorldNetDaily (take it back!).

While I appreciate any extra linky love and while we certainly can agree on, well, a fairly limited number of topics, the targetofopportunity website has all of the marks of a certain shrill strain of conservatism. Indeed, there is flagrant font and CAPS abuse.

I am not putting links to the page directly from my site (the origin of the link could be tracked from sitemeter or another service), so there is a chance that someone who otherwise might not make it here would and be really offended. Heehee.

But to take a look at the their mission statement is to gaze lovingly into the heart of one heavily caffeinated demon:

This website is devoted to fighting Terrorism and the forced integration of Marxist oriented ideals and values into the American mainstream. By exposing the violent actions and the violent speech (and it is very violent, just keep reading) of these so-called "Non-Violent" and "Peaceful" groups, the truth is revealed for all to see. Their brand of Radical Marxist Liberalism poses a serious threat to the American public. They are among us and this website exposes them for who they are and what they are based on THEIR actions and THEIR agendas.

Well, shit. I'm running to the barricades.

Here Is The Attitude Of The Left-Wing

These people would have you believe that America deserved to have the World Trade Center destroyed. How many billions of dollars has the United States given in aid to countries only to have major populations of these same countries dancing in the street celebrating the World Trade Center being destroyed?

"The World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks are defensible because the terrorist acts were meant to send a legitimate message to Americans."

These people have turned their support of violence against the American people under the guise of Peace, Animal Rights, or some Environmental issue. Organizations such as CodePINK, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC), and others have little use for peaceful demonstrations, preferring instead, large scale riots and other acts of intimidation, violence, and destruction.

Choreographed and planned behind closed doors then displayed in public are the angry, immature, and disruptive antics of self-centered individuals with visions of greatness. As with most, if not all, of these Leftist, Marxist, and Socialist agendas, they are all "Emotionally" based rather than "Intellectually" based. Selfishness and the feelings of self-importance is the motivating factor that they use to justify their use of arson, vandalism, and harassment to achieve their demands.

OK, I think that CodePINK is a little goofy, though I thought the look they got on Condie's face was priceless. The other two, yes, they are complete dongwater. But they actually suggest that MoveOn thinks that we deserved 9/11. I see a dangerous collapse of the terms "left" "marxist" "socialist" and "communist" throughout the site. We need to not think in such crude terms. The "emotionally" based charge, I think, is a little slice of ironic heaven. I mean did you see all the crazily emphatic colors?!?

I think that their hit list (below) is actually a little scary, especially when they consider that asshats like Ward Churchill should be "need to be removed from their teaching positions" for having truly boneheaded opinions. Tenure still means something, even if it is an embarassment to a University. It protects far more good work than bad work and needs to be respected. Oh, treason is a hanging offense. This is not a lovey organization.

The Hit List

Below is a list of enemies that pose a considerable threat to the American people. They hate the fact that America is the greatest country in the world and they stand against everything that made America the greatest country in the world. They fight and work alongside terrorists. They actively and openly support those that are trying to cause the destruction of the United States from within. This used to be known as "Treason" and "Sedition" and it used to be punished as such.

Boy, they sure mistaked opinion for fact, did they not? And reality for a big ol' bubbling crock o' crap. And then there is this, which might actually be illegal:

These people present a serious threat to all Americans. Each and every one of them should be considered a
TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY

Yeah, so, completely bonkers, just like the people they are criticizing. Wow. I'm truly horrified.
