Am I The Only Person Who Finds This OHIO Mall Story Fishy As Hell?

[Warren DeMontague]

Pretty damn convenient, I think, since it's widely agreed that Ohio is THE big electoral battleground state for November. There's "credible evidence" (one wonders if it's "90% certain", also) that this cell-phone dealer had specific plans to attack a specific mall. Except.. wait.. there is no evidence of a specific plan.. or is there?

I think everything that comes out of this DOJ.. and this Administration.. is suspect and probably politically motivated.

1. Nope. It's a Soviet LIEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Absolute fabricatiopn based on one or two tiny grains of truth.

I hate the Busheviks for the same reason I hated the Bolsheviks.

2. if asskkkroft said, it ain't true

i don't buy it either. they've cried terror too many times and i understand the info is from 6 months ago anyway. now the 'suspect' is being mentally evaluated. very very fishy.

[tridim]

3. Kind of makes you wonder

Who the real terrorists are.

Unfortunately lots of Americans believe anything they see on the TeeVee, no questions asked.

[fdr_hst_fan]

6. That's an easy one:

the REAL terrorists are the ones currently masquerading as the SCOTUS!

4. No. Read Krugman yesterday

He pretty much thinks it is bogus. Just like Padilla.

11. Is there a link to the Krugman article?

I could use this on another board.

5. Based on evidence extracted by torture

That way they always get the story they need to suit their political aims.

7. It's a bunch of crap

and your analysis is perfectly correct. Ohio is a crucial state. No Republican has EVER won the presidency without it.

What they are doing amounts to psychological terrorism. Studies have shown that people under extreme stress and tension do not act rationally. They are emotionally driven and the one thing they crave most of all is to end the fear and distress.

Bush is portrayed as the protector who will keep them safe from the evildoers and the sheeple run to the polls to vote for him to protect them.

Because they are emotionally driven, they do not look at the facts and the reality of the situation. It's nothing but a huge psy ops game for them.

[Cheswick2.0]

totally freaking fishy

Absolutely. They have lied about everything else. Why wouldn't they lie about that?

[Parche]

8. false

They had him for 7months and didnt charge him yet?

What country are we living in

This is like the National Enquirer States of America

[LuminousX]

9. Didn't they have credible evidence that Iraq had WMDs?

This administration has no credibility.

[nostamj]

10. asscrack got his ass crack spanked by congress

so, big surprise, he did something BIG and BRAVE and SCARY...

a LYING POS! (I'm so glad we are ridiculing him in the ?W Revue!)

[Bluebear]

12. Funny that terra only threatens the Swing states!

[AlCzervik]

14. Once again Mullah Asscrack

is sneaking these little fabrications out one by one in order to gather support for the ironically named patriot act.

[Kazak]

15. Simply put...no.

OMG, thank goodness they found the perps.

/sarcasm

[Piperay]

16. It's ridiculous and

I don't believe it for a minute, it's just to scare people in a state whose electorial votes they (the repukes) desperately need. :argh:

[gratuitous]

17. Just because they've had the guy in custody for eight months?

I suppose you don't think he could bust out any second, get bomb-making materials, head for a large shopping mall, and blow the place up for no apparent reason?

Jeez, you guys are sooooo cynical! I'll bet you don't clap loud enough or believe deeply enough, and Tinkerbell dies every time. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?

And this had nothing whatsoever to do with Crisco Johnny's embarrassing performance before the Senate committee last week, so stop saying that!

18. Fishy As Hell - And IT Worked

Mall threat shows terrorism real

I will start by saying that I adamantly support the war on terror. It's easy for me to know which presidential candidate is going to look out for my family and I during this troubled time. Consequently, it is difficult for me to understand those who don't support it, let alone those who choose to pretend its fluff and not that big a deal.

Maybe this recent discovery of a plot to blow up a shopping mall will wake up the mothers and the 20-somethings in this country to the realization that evil exists in the world and ignoring it will not make it go away. We should not be bullied into canceling a trip to California because terrorists blew up planes. Equally, we should not be afraid to go to the shopping mall to hang out or shop either. But that is exactly what their goal is - to terrorize. Don't become so numb during this political year that you refuse to see what is going on. Terrorism is real.

20. Sinking standards

I live near Columbus, Ohio, and on the Wags and Elliot radio show they were commenting how "interesting" it was that the initial target for the terrorists was the WTC; then the pentagon, then the white house (or capital building), and then a mall in Ohio? wtf?

so fucking obvious; I can't understand how people don't see this

[ElementaryPenguin]

21. I have no doubt that it is complete bullshit - since Ashcroft is saying it

Has that evil fucker told the truth even once yet?

:shrug:

[fob]

22. Did the guy who has been in custody since last November, have a PLAN

or was it just a series of actionable items written down in chronological order?

If it was the latter then it is clearly a hoax.
