Even The Times should be better than this.
Remarkable stretch in just two paragraphs to link Appleseed to the quotes from unaffiliated public figures. And throughout the article, great strives are made to link extremist militia types to Appleseed, even though their association with the group is tangental at best. And of course Dailey, the founder, specifically denies a "militia" mindset is the intent of the group.
Amazing how far the liberal mouthpieces in this country will go to link anything having to do with their scary buzzwords - "guns" "liberty" "founders" "patriot" - to a mass right-wing conspiracy.
Anyway, it's a long article but worth reading 1. so you will be informed of the Left's latest propoganda and 2. so you can learn a bit about the group by reading between the lines.
I have not personally attended an Appleseed event, but plan to. And another forum member who has attended raved about it and showed me some of the basic rifleman techniques he learned. Seems a worthwhile event as soon as I can find a free weekend.
