If the FBI entrapped white supremacists & neo-nazis based on thoughts, like they do to Muslims, there'd be thousands of them in prison.

@emptywheel@ArarMaher I don’t know the enforcement budgets. But perhaps that has to do with perception of threat too? -
@EliLake If right wing terrorists treated like Muslims, Frazier Glenn Miller might have been prevented. https://www.emptywheel.net/2014/04/15/the-terror-networks-and-the-hate-criminals/ …@ArarMaher -
@emptywheel are you saying the threat posed by Jihadist groups is less than threat posed by neo-nazis? -
@EliLake But I'm not the one saying they pose less of a threat than right wingers. Our IC is. I don't have access to the intel to say. -
@emptywheel No that’s not what the IC says. 9/11 is a mass casualty attack that is nothing like the other attacks. -
@EliLake And while we're at it, the greatest threat to America is not terrorism in the least. Treating it as such hurts America, badly. -
@emptywheel I also think Jihadist threat is more global and beyond just terrorism. But it’s not comparable to other radical movements. -
@EliLake What constitutes a "radical" movement? Bankers have undermined very notion of property. Isn't that radical? Are Saudis radical? - 6 more replies
