Yes, There's a July 4 Terror Threat From the Right

• http://www.thedailybeast.com, Dean Obeidallah

Representative Peter King (R-NY) told us to on Wednesday that we need to be afraid, no, very afraid, of Muslims over the July 4th weekend. Why? Well, King, in his typical Muslim fear-mongering style, warned, "Because if there is a threat, if there is gonna be something happening, it's gonna come from the Muslim community."

Apparently King only sees a threat by Muslims to America. But while ISIS is a threat, how is he blind to the growing right-wing terror threat we see in this country? I have never seen a more alarming level of "chatter" and acts of terror by people on the right as in the last few weeks.

Here are a few recent examples of what I mean:

1. Calls for violence surrounding gay marriage: After the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that gay couples have the same freedom to marry as the rest of us, Pastor Steven Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church called for the stoning deathof any pastor who would perform a same-sex marriage. He also called for the murder of all LGBT people, stating, "I hate them with a perfect hatred… I count them mine enemies."
