Monday 29 March 2010: Palin defends gun imagery; end-of-times Christian militia arrested for police slaughter plan

Item [NY Daily News]: Sarah Palin defends her use of "hunting" language and imagery in her political action committee's website and other materials in wake of violent threats against Democratic politicians and officials and attacks on Democratic Party offices.

Item [CNN]: An indictment unsealed today alleges an anti-government militia with ultraconservative fundamentalist religious views planned on killing a law enforcement officer, perhaps along with his family members, in an ambush and then, when the throng of police the group believed would gather to mourn their brother officer's murder collected for memorial services, the group would launch a coordinated attack using automatic weapons, rocket launchers and shaped explosive charges (aka IEDs) -- all in the hopes of starting a battle between those they considered Christian true believers like themselves and those they saw to be the forces of the Anti-Christ: police, federal law enforcement, and US soldiers.
