Teabaggers
It’s going to be a long 8 years.
Man carrying “death to Obama” sign at Maryland town hall detained by Secret Service.
The full sign actually read: “Death To Obama, Death To Michelle And Her Two Stupid Kids”
WESTWOOD — A man accused of making threats against the White House led officers on a wild freeway chase that ended in a standoff outside the Federal Building.
And they talked about “Bush derangement syndrome.”
Yeah, USSS is investigating hundreds of new death threats every hour, essentially everyone in America who voted McCain/Talibunny
@FlyingChainSaw: I read somewhere they’re up 400%.
I feel ill. Seriously. Death to two little girls?? WTF??? This is bringing back bad memories of race-related killings in the 1960s South.
@blogenfreude: Oh, yeah, and climbing. Who knows what will happen with the neonazis and militia groups hook up with an AARP.
@Mistress Cynica: Of course. The GOP is a genocidal white power cult.
@FlyingChainSaw: The White House Enemies List is paying off.
@blogenfreude: Seriously, if the USSS comes up against another double-whammy – federal election and UN general assembly meeting – like they did in fall 2004, they’re toast. In the best-case scenario, they are over-stretched given the USSS brief.
@FlyingChainSaw: G20 in western Pennsyltucky could be more interesting than expected. Locals are mobilizing to keep the vegan/patchouli brigade away, and may not catch the flanking move by the wingnutty ‘baggers coming down out of the Alleghenies.
@The Nabisco Quiver: G20 is meeting in Pittsburgh or something?
Fortunately, the Westwood Federal Building incident didn’t happen until after Mrs. DB and her cadre of hard-core public option advocates left Senator DiFi’s office. She said that DiFi’s staff were very receptive. I was surprised because she’s had a very low profile on the health care debate.
And ‘Bush derangement syndrome’ didn’t really get started until after he’d done a few things (started a few wars, tortured some people, etc.)
Maybe Pfizer will come out with a pill to help stop ‘premature derangement’, because there’s not really anywhere for these folks to go, escalating-the-crazee-wise, during the next 3.5 years.
..And it was totally lacking even a modicum of class or skill. If you’re going to be a racist douchebag, couldn’t you make your treasonous, bile-spewing sign at least rhyme or something?
@Tommmcatt Floats: Rhyming is what those evil black rappers do. Duh. That and incite the children to premarital sex, and that leads to abortions (since contraception is a naughty word), and we’re back where we started!
@Tommmcatt Floats: A quatrain comes to mind, but I can’t even joke about that.
@IanJ: Mr. Quick Draw beats me to the joke. That’s what I get for actually trying to work while stinqueworld rolls on.
@al2o3cr: Oh, they’ll get crazier and more angry when the bill actually passes, trust me.
Hopefully a lot of them will leave to country in disgust and become Somalia’s problem.
@al2o3cr: No, the neonazis and militia people will convince old people to stuff their wheelchairs with TNT and take tours of federal buildings. Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh will replace their programs with reruns of the Nuremberg rallies. Jesus-crazies in the Air Force will reset all the launch codes for domestically sited nukes for Boston, San Francisco, Austin, New York, Chicago and LA. Mexican drug lords will take control of the Mexican army to repel the millions of American refugees fleeing cannibal anarchy. Parts of the Northeast will secede and draft Canadian provincial charters. Connecticut and Rhode Island will join the Commonwealth as independent nations and will adopt Sterling as their native currency.
@FlyingChainSaw: I cling to the hope that Orygun and Washington (west of the Cascades) will be annexed by British Columbia.
@Mistress Cynica: I’m driving through East Cascadia later this month. Do I need to take the Obama sticker off my car?
@Mistress Cynica: 50/50
Could just as easily be commandeered by neonazi stormtrooper and the population not enrolled as Republicans enslaved for farm work and breeding more stormtroopers.
@Dodgerblue: If you’re east of the mountains, you’re basically in Idaho. You might want to cover up that sticker with one that’s pro-gun. RML can set you up.
ADD: @FlyingChainSaw: I’m too old for both, so I guess it’s the Death Panel for me!
@Mistress Cynica: So you’d rule out “I’m Gay And I’m Here For Your Guns.”
@Mistress Cynica: If you’re east of the mountains, you’re basically in Idaho.
I’ve been saying that all my life.
@FlyingChainSaw: Yep, Sept 24thish. The entire dahntahn is going to be cordoned off, but the only intelligence they’re gathering (that I know about) are the radical window smashing anarchist brigade. They may not even be thinking about the bomb throwing, “water the tree of liberty” types.
On the good news front, Jaco’s brewmaster cousin Tom is back in the beer bidness.
@Dodgerblue: Ah, memories of that old joke of Ann Richard’s sending her gay volunteers from Austin to Lufkin to do some GOTV.
@FlyingChainSaw: What, you don’t think those nukes will be aimed at Hollywood to get all those homosekshuals and Jews that make sinful movies? I’ll be in the kayak pointed to Wellington.
ADD: I linked to the original story on my FB profile. When my old “friends” who are born again Xtian Glen Beck worshipers jump on my ass, y’all need to rise up and help me. xoxo
@SanFranLefty: Oh, the 100-200 nukes that take out LA will vaporize everything from San Bernandino to the Pacific Ocean. Hollywood won’t even be a stain.
@Dodgerblue: Did you see the thread w/ my thoughts about what to see north of Bishop/south of Tahoe on your trip?
@Mistress Cynica, dodgerblue: Perhaps a t-shirt or bumpersticker from “Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.”
@SanFranLefty: How ’bout them Raiders tonight?
@SanFranLefty: Did, thanks. I’m doing this trip solo so I can stop any damned place I want.
@redmanlaw: Uh, I’m a Cowboys fan, remember? I’m shocked the Raiders didn’t hire Vick, they could use him.
