Tea bagging and burning down a mosque all on the same weekend?

I guess he’ll be tivo’ing Glenn Beck again.

Looks like the FBI did its job. Work undercover, sell phony weapons to dumbshit ex-cons dreaming of terrorist glory, then arrest ‘em all after a year of doing the basic police work. As Linda Richman used to say, “Big whoop.”

Of course, Gomer would love to turn it into an episode of “24″ where the bad guys are all evil geniuses and Jack “Head-butt” Bauer solves the case in one day.

Is he under the impression that if we “burned down” the mosque, the “terrorists” would simply give up and go away, having nowhere else to meet?

How close did these FBI guys come to entrapment?

I wanted to reach into NPR and choke people this morning when they kept referring to this terrorist plot where the terrorists were foiled from blowing up a jewish center and blowing up military aircraft. They did no such thing. They were led to believe that they could do these things. But they didn’t do anything. These are thought crimes.

The crimes they committed were attempting to purchase weapons and explosives. That’s it.

Opening Scene, at the bar:
Guy #1: The US is committing war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. They’re waging war on muslims. I can’t take this anymore, I have to do something.

Undercover guy: You could probably shoot down a military plane with a stinger missile system.

Guy #2: Yeah, or blow up a building like they did in Oklahoma.

Undercover guy: Yeah a federal building or a jewish center – that’ll show ‘em.

Guy #1: It’ll never happen, how am I to get my hands on explosives or a stinger missile? I can’t even get 4 bars on my Verizon(tm) cell phone.

Undercover guy: It just so happens, I know a guy, who knows a guy, I could probably get you a stinger missile and a pound of plastic explosives for $1,000. You could use that stuff to shoot down planes and blow up a jewish center (leans closer). Right? Say yes into my lapel.

Guy #1: Yes?

He forgot the Ann Coulter corollary: once we’ve burned down the mosque we need to convert them to Xtianity. Only then can we be truly safe.

Oh, and we need to buy lots and lots of guns — especially now that those nice Democrats are going to let us bring them into our national parks; that’s what’s always left me petrified: hiking the Tetons without my Uzi. You never know when you might meet some disgruntled ex-con with a Stinger missile hell-bent on wreaking havoc.

Hey — when did we get that nifty little ‘edit’ option on our comments here? Very snazzy, tbogg. What’s next? Cup holders?

A nice simple solution for nice simple people.

I believe the edit button has been there all along. Of course I could be hallucinating.

Seems like the pational parks will now be a great place to buy weapons and plot attacks. Maybe we should burn down all the parks. Let’s start with the Everglades, cuz that’s near Gitmo and the terrorists would probably start there, you know cuz they are all gonna start escaping soon. Then we could…what was I saying again? It’s so easy to jump the rails when I’ve climbed aboard my rightwing train of thought.

The edit option has been there all along. That doesn’t mean you’re not hallucinating.

Cupholders would be nice.

And Gomer is still a scaredy-cat dumbshit.

So, if shutting down the places where “terrorists” meet is our new policy, I guess it’s good these clowns didn’t get together at a Starbucks, on the subway, or at Yankee stadium.

Wait a minute…, isn’t that the Declaration of Independence in the burning photo? TBogg is taunting the vacuous with subterfuge. The First Amendment is on the back!

11/17/70, I loved that album. Rabbity, easily terrified politicos and sycophants, not so much. They are John Wayne loving cowards, who usually don’t have the courage to actually show up. See Cheney, Richard Bruce, Exhibit A.

What I had heard is that law enforcement waited until these jokers actually planted the “bombs” supplied by the FBI before arresting them. That’s a bit different from just talking about it.

I think it’s the Constitution–see the big “We The People” heading? The Bill of Rights was on another piece of parchment, so we’re actually burning up the three branches of government and all that stuff.

I’ve had a cupholder button on my computer long before the edit function came around. Just push the button and Viola. Cup-hole is kinda small though – I always figgered it was for demi-tasse.

Got an empty 5.25″ drive bay?

According to TPM, these oh so seriously dangerous terrorists include a stoner who got stoned just before being busted to prepare for the big moment and a mentally challenged schizophrenic. I am really impressed, this is almost as good as the hapless Sears Tower crew or the guys that were going to storm Fort Dix with a pickup and small arms.

Yeah. I suppose they’ll be reduced to hanging out at the fast food court in Horton Plaza like the rest of the gang wannabes and X-ian mercenaries.

You know, a lot of things that deeply confused me about young Gomer make perfect sense now that I know he grew up in Newburgh

Yeah, another really impressive bust of intellectually challenged guys from the underclass, but this time with the addition of a snitch who needed to cover his own ass for his illegal behavior or else the feds will send him back to Pakistan. Al Queda superspies these are not.

And pizza. Don’t forget the pizza.
