When is this terrorist going to get busted?
I mean, granted, he is all hot air.
But "those other brown people" (a conservative's phrase describing anyone Arab,) are just as much all hot air, yet they end up getting busted for "making terroristic threats."


We're already aware that the white-supremacist crowd is already creating a higher level of security concerns surrounding Barack Obama's inauguration.

So somehow it probably figures that Sean Hannity's old pal Hal Turner would be out there leading the parade of nutcases making threats around the events.

According to Mark Potok at the SPLC, Turner has gone public this week with his threats:

On Friday, neo-Nazi threatmeister Hal Turner, amplifying on an earlier posting suggesting that it would be a good thing to use an unmanned drone carrying explosives to attack the crowds, said a mass murder of those attending the festivities “would be a public service.” “I won’t say what may happen Tuesday but I will say this,” Turner wrote on his blog. “After Tuesday, the name Hal Turner may live in infamy. Let it be known that I saw what was necessary and decided to do what had to be done. I make no apology to those affected or their families.”

Earlier, on Jan. 11, Turner had posted photos to his blog, under the headline “My Inauguration Dream,” of a small, unmanned drone, an electronic guidance system and sticks of dynamite as he laid out one method of attack. He also discussed the possibility of sending up balloons filled with helium and a “payload” and fitted with fuses that would explode the balloons over the crowds. And he displayed a grainy video that purported to show that method being tested. “Too far fetched?” Turner asks of a possible balloon attack. “It got tested and it worked! … Watch the video and imagine what payload, other than the index cards taped to the outside of the test balloons, might be substituted? HMMMMMM. Might be something messy? Something contagious? Something deadly? Ahhhh, such possibilities!” Then, last Thursday, he posted an update, saying: “All the assets that need to be in-place for next week are now in-place; deep within the security perimeter. Everything is a ‘go.’ We have crossed the Rubicon; let history judge us well.”

Well, fortunately, Turner is not someone to take seriously, any more than gay-basher Fred Phelps. He's made numerous threats in the past, and all have been just so much gasbaggery. Moreover, he has a nonexistent following, especially after it was revealed he had been doing federal-informant work, which pretty much destroys your cred in white-power circles.

Mind you, part of Turner's schtick is planting a seed of doubt in the back of people's minds. That's what he is doing when he says he hopes more to target the crowds than Obama himself.

Mind you, if you happen to see Turner this week in D.C., you'll want to steer clear. Not because he really poses a threat, but just because he's Hal Turner.

1. He gets away with making threats that are more than oblique
and then thumbs his nose at those who should be stopping his batshit crazy bullshit.

In reading his earlier posting about supposedly planned Inaugural attacks, IMO, he did cross the line between freedom of speech and actual threat, as well as doing more than just planting seeds of hate, but actually offering methods to of attack on Obama and others. Turner is more than a hate cultivator; the man seeks to set off people who will act for him by following through on the plans he lays out in his blog and on his show.

Limpballs is bad.
Turner is over the line in terms of criminality.
Being a Fed informant should not be a shield that allows him to set up plans of threat that can be carried out, or even insinuating, inferring that those plans will be carried out against Obama or any other Americans.

Were I to make public statements such as Turner makes, (or even as Coulter does, too!), the Feds were be taking me down for threats against the President, the government, and anything else they could slap me with.

Turner should have no such privilege, no such protection any more than any other citizen. Starting out by calling it "dreaming" does not inure him from the rest of his plans as he lays them out for his small audience of racist scum.

Am pissed that he is getting away with this.

2. Exactly.
Yet Muhammed or Abdul have a meeting with an FIB...I mean FBI informer, and talk about the coming destruction of the Western countries, they get busted and sentenced to long prison terms in maximum-security jails.
