Left-wing extremists (NACA) in Brookline?
I had just read this article:
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10165
which mentions the NACA, a self-described "terrorist" organization that uses mud-slinging tactics to try and force banks to lend to unqualified minorities.
In Coolidge Corner today there were several people outside B of A aggressively leafleting about the bank failing to lend to minorities. I wonder if they were NACA?

The head of NACA is some dude named Bruce Marks. He's unapologetic about his tactics and is an avowed socialist.
This will come as a shock to exactly zero of you, but he was the Boston Globe's Man of the Year a couple years back.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C.S. Lewis

This story is becoming more and more shocking with each new revelation.

The only thing that is shocking is how rapidly people are transforming en masse into unapologetic socialists these days... Originally Posted by theGringo

The answer of course is that socialist governments have sent 100M+ innocent people to their deaths for disagreeing with them...

Ugh, this is not going to end well..
Just trying to find a way to convince the huge flock of people "on the fence" of the inevitable end-game of socialism before we all have to experience it and a huge chunk of us are walking into showers...
We got soft on socialism and tolerated as a harmless naive school of thought for the young until they experienced the real-world - well now people are voting to deny the real world exists and for the time being they are getting their way at the cost of Trillions in debt and the destruction of our legal protections...
It's not harmless - McCarthy was an ass, but that doesn't mean he was wrong to be afraid...
