X-Mas Terror Elicits the Expected Response from Greater Wingnuttia
Posted by Tintin,
Sadly, No! at 2:16 PM on December 26, 2009.
Nigeria!The incident on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight yesterday has, inevitably, elicited a torrent of nonsense from the usual suspects, all of whom apparently rushed to their computers before the Christmas roast had even been carved to share their almost entirely predictable, if completely ludicrous, takeaways on the subject.
Jim Don Bob Surber says it all in the title of his post “Flight 253 terrorist shows moving Gitmo to Illinois is a bad idea.” It also shows that the college bowl system is a bad idea. I mean, seriously, what the fuck? This would only make sense if the Supermax facility in question has a travel agency and could book flights for the terrorists inside, help them escape and then hand them bomb-making manuals as going-away gifts. This is yet another post by Jim Don Bob that definitively proves that second-hand meth smoke kills brain cells.
And what failed terrorist attack would be complete without our friends at NewsBlusters weighing in? In this case, Mark Finkelstein is all wound up because the New York Times didn’t say that the pseudo-bomber was a Muslim and instead simply called him a “Nigerian man.” One of the things that makes the pseudo-critics at NewsBlusters so amusing is their insistence that newspapers should just ditch the silly notion that they should print facts instead of assumptions. Well, not ourselves being a paper of record, we can oblige with dispensing with this silly notion about not publishing naked assumptions as facts and note that Finkelstein spent yesterday trying to figure out how to fellate a
dead goat.
Oooh, look, the dumbest fucking ghey man on the face of the planet, Bruce Carroll aka The Gay Patriot, has been moved to actually post something at his own blog. (Bruce is usually content to let the second dumbest fucking ghey man on the face of the planet, Dan Blatt, handle all the posting duties). Naturally, Bruce blames the attack on Obama and points out that if Bush were still President this would never have happened.
Bringing up the, er, rear, we have the Ace of Play-Doh and Bacon in high-dudgeon over imagined attempts by the White House to edit a WaPo story on the fizzled bomb. According to Ace, Obama’s only response to the incident was to call up the WaPo and force them to remove a phrase that said that Obama learned of the event a few hours after the plane landed. This was, of course, an opportunity for Ace to remind everyone that Obama is, you know, black:
TERRORIST THREAT LEVEL RAISED! All the way from “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” to “Hakuna Matada.”
So the question now is which of our favorite bloggers will be the first to speculate that the would-be terrorist is a distant relative of Obama’s? My money is on Hoft.
UPDATE: Thanks to the other Roger Ailes, I forgot to see what Atlas Juggs had to add to the discussion. She thinks that the Obama administration will charge the passenger who assisted in subduing the the burning passenger with hate crimes. No doubt that will occur right after Obama gives the wannabe bomber the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
