They don't have to be, by and large. Any terrorist organization has (indeed, likely can't exist without) a large number of somewhat more lax people who simply cheer them on (or don't do anything to stop them).
Quote:Do those right-wing extremists who do promote violence warrant suspicionless surveillance of everyone who holds right-wing, anti-government views? THAT would be crazy talk.
The majority of them surely voted for the man who gave birth to the warrantless police state because they thought it would only be used against filthy brown-skinned turban-wearing Muslims. Surely a great many of them considered it absolutely warranted then, so it would be no less warranted when used against domestic terrorists and those who support and finance terror operations. Or maybe a drone strike or three.
Of course I don't support warrantless policing (or drones), but at the same time, I don't feel sorry for people who reap what they so enthusiastically sowed.
