Well then, let's see if Tom Clancy will raise hell over this.

Ever read "Executive Orders"? He's got a group of Montana "domestic terrorists" calling themselves Mountain Men who try unsuccessfully to drive a bomb-truck to the White House.
You mean men like "Jeremiah Johnson" who just wants to live in peace and live off the land - making money from pelts, meats, and other trappin's?

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

The problem with this game is not the title or who the bad guys are, it's the supposed "vision" that is shown in this video.

Nah, these guys were fictional White-Nationalist-anarchists who wanted to cause maximum death and damage in Washington D.C. after the destruction of the US Capital building by the deliberate crash of a JAL 747. They were driving a cement truck that had been converted into a massive fuel-fertilizer bomb. They ran afoul of the Ohio State Police,.... These fictional villains were supposed to be thinking of themselves as "Patriots". No connection to any famous fur-trappers of the Old West.

Yup. That's what "they" want - completely unthinking, totally obedient, and fundamentally inhuman killers who will cheerfully pull the trigger on anyone anytime. Right, left, capitalist, communist, it doesn't matter - power corrupts, and those in power justify ANY action, no matter how gross or immoral, when confronted with a threat to their power. Doesn't matter if it's OWS or the Tea Party, "True Patriots" or Weather Underground.

Of all the things to take away from that vid I don't know how he got that out of it. I just thought that the whole thing was silly.

Yeah, it looks like they're trying too hard, trying to pull the "edgy" title away from Modern Warfare's airport shootings and nerve gas attacks.

Let's see. domestic terrorists in the USA--impossible you say.

A guy living on a rouge coloured hill, minding his own business is a lot different from the Klu Klux Klan and other members of the Aryan Brotherhoods and their ilk...Unless of course you support them then you can go fuck yourself.

You think they're not domestic terrorists? That they haven't supported Hezbollah and other anti Israel groups? There is proven connections, to the IRA, Red Brigade and Red & Black September, of the "Brotherhood" supplying them with funds, explosives and automatic weapons going back to the 1960s.

Sorry, but anybody wanting to violently overthrow any non Fascist/Dictatoral government deserves the ass fucking they get whether they be Americans, Canadians or French...If you think that A L L militia groups are just a bunch of good ol' boys shooting up the landscape then you better get your head out of your ass and start smelling the roses!
There is a certain type of mentality that thinks if you make certain inanimate objects illegal their criminal misuse will disappear!
