A man crawls through a drive through window and assaults the worker...BUT

[xultar]

he is charged with assault and

wait for it....

wait for it....

making terrorist threats.

And Faux won't call those militia fuckers terrorist or any of the teabaggers who are threatening the lives of Democrats terrorist? By that definition Sarah Palin should be called a terrorist.

WTF is going on here?

They didn't want to call that guy who crashed into the IRS building a terrorist.

Seriously, will someone explain that shit to me?

[fascisthunter]

1. FOX is a fascist/nazi propaganda Network

They truly are consistently supporting the worst elements in our society and attacking the best parts instead. I want FOX shut down

[HopeHoops]

2. Um, one word: "white".

[xultar]

6. I was gonna say that but I deleted it. I know some would be like ummm hummm

xultar is playin the race card.

[HopeHoops]

11. Hell, that's not a race card - that's observation of FOX - white=victim, other=terrorist.

Okay, sometimes white means "common criminal" (and "felon" or "traitor" if it is a Democrat) on FOX.

[eppur_se_muova]

13. And who put the race card in the deck in the first place?

That's our whole society. The race card, like the Joker, keeps popping up unwanted and unbidden. People can't keep denying that it's there.

If anyone says Xultar is playing the race card, well, ummm hummm
piss on them. FOX put that card in play. Xultar is only pointing it out.

3. I would NEVER assault someone near a deep fat fryer...

That's just crazy.

"Would you like to be FRIED with that?"

<slosh>

<Sizzle>

scream scream scream scream scream

{smell of bacon}

Game over man, game over.

[sui generis]

4. Fox is irrelevant.

That's the first part of the explanation.

Militia people ARE terrorists - they had a plan to commit violence and disrupt and terrorize, and they were taking steps to execute that plan.

The dude that flew into the IRS was just a crazy fucker, working by himself, with no credo, and no way to benefit from the ensuing result. Lone whackadoodles, including the unibomber, are not terrorists.

A terrorist is a member of an organization that will benefit their chosen cause by creating significant social disruption through violence, coercion, and intimidation against a civilian population.

If they do that against a military population it's redefined as guerrilla warfare.

Making a terroristic threat is just a stupid charge to levy against anyone. A threat of physical violence is just a threat and considered "assault" for most purposes, which is a crime.

We need to stop seeing terrorists under every rock, so that we can see the real terrorists that are out there. Fox news however probably does have a different agenda for refusing to acknowledge a white fundamentalist group planning to murder a police officer and pick off the funeral procession in order to incite civil war is not a terrorist group. FOX is just plain wrong. And irrelevant.

5. Yeah this "making terrorist threats" nonsense is getting really stupid

[Newest Reality]

7. I hope it becomes clear that

responding to the Fox agenda as if it is serious lends a form of unnecessary credibility to a propaganda machine.

Some slogans would be nice:

"Fox News: Fiction that's really funny!"

"Fair and balanced for the cockeyed and unstable."

"The truth is in here and it's not getting out without a makeover!"

A part of our problem is that the carnies are taken for real and Fox News, Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, etc., etc., are a corporate carnival that thrive, prosper and function on the assumption of reality and fact. If that facade were ever pierced and we could move forward from corporate propaganda, things could and would change for the better. That's just wishful thinking, of course.

It's just a stage with actors and damn, it works well.

[xultar]

10. A stage with mentally ill actors or actors striken with Stockholm Syndrome....

"Fair and balanced for the cockeyed and unstable."
That shit is funny! I'm gonna use it.

[newtothegame]

8. Why do we care what Fox News says? And why are we watching it?

:shrug:

Nance Greggs does the same thing. She rails and spits and hisses and freaks out on conservative personalities that she shouldn't be listening to in the first place...So much time obsessing over political enemies...Imagine what could be accomplished if we spent that much time pushing our political advocates...

[xultar]

9. I wasn't watching it. someone posted that Faux refuses to call them terrorist.

Faux calls them christian freedom fighters or some shit.

[EFerrari]

12. Warriors It's just gobsmackingly stupid. n/t

[paulsby]

14. just for the record, that's a silly reference

many states have a specific criminal statute .

it doesn't make the person arrested for same a "terrorist"

when i was a cop in hawaii, our "threats" statute was called "terroristic threatening"

if you threatened to assault somebody you could be charged with "terroristic threatening"

it didn't therefore follow that you were a terrorist or that the law considered you as such

sorry, logic fail

study some model penal code and get back to me
