Given the large number of people shouting that the "tree of liberty needs nourishment" and people showing up armed to town hall meetings, I'd say fears of a new 9/11 incident stemming from foreign terrorists don't hold a candle to the current tensions that might lead to another Oklahoma City/Waco/Ruby Ridge. This, coupled with popular heads in the media that seem to encourage the mobish behavior, is infinitely more disturbing than any recent leftist protests.
