Bob Owens (also known as Gun Counter Gomer, Treason in Defense of Slavery Yankee, and Cousin Bob… but only to his wife) takes to the pages of Pajamas Media to explain his very original theory (formulated in his Law & Order Sleuthin’ & Hard Thinkin’ Room… you know, the one with the Sears & Roebuck catalog nailed to the slats) as to what motivated Maurice Clemmons ( a man with a history of violence, multiple felonies, and mental illness) to kill four policemen.
Unsurprisingly, it the dirty fucking hippies who made him do it:
Another Leftist-Motivated Cop-Killing in the Northwest?
[...]
Officials do not have a motive, but they have not ruled out a copycat killing in what some news outlets are already describing as a war on cops in Washington. Insanity is being hinted at by a family member. Clemmons’ sister says he claimed to have sent letters to the president, and that he expected Obama to confirm him as the living messiah.
His interest in President Obama may also suggest the possibility of a twisted political motivation for the killings. If this turns out to be the case, the shooting will be just the latest politically motivated attack on police officers in Washington state in recent memory.
He then goes on to expand upon his CY post noted earlier which was a total logic win:
Radical leftists educated in Washington have killed cops
Maurice Clemmons moved from Arkansas to Washington and killed some cops.
Maurice Clemmons is therefore a radical leftist.
Q.E.D. Case closed. In your face. Suck it. ..
You see, it is entirely possible that Maurice Clemmons spent the years leading up to the shooting hanging around some of the local college campuses, engaging in all-night bull sessions, Alinsky readings, and constructing enormous puppets for the WTO street protests. Also, beer pong. There may very well may have been an associate professor (a combination Ward Churchill/Charles Manson figure) who recognized what a perfect weapon Clemmons was, took him under his wing , and began exposing him to Marxism, moral relativism, multiculturalism, and post-modernism. Also, beer pong. So, really, Clemmons was very likely a ticking time bomb made up of equal parts hatred, evil, anarchy, class/racial resentment, and MGD Light.
Improbable? Maybe. Unsupportable? Probably. An enormous amount of fantastical bullshit from Bob Owens who is desperate to find a way to somehow blame this on leftists because, when he all he has is a moribund political philosophy, everything looks like an ACORNliberalmuslim plot?
Yeah. That sounds about right.
Tune in next week To CSI: Chigger Falls when Gomer Bob goes deep undercover at the Learning Annex to find out whether 50 Sure-Fire Ways to Break the Ice & Improve Your Conversations is just a ruse to lure women into WHITE SLAVERY.
Oh. Almost forgot.

Gomer must’ve majored in Special-Ed.
You know, only a monster fuckwit would place any emphasis at all on the President Obama thing. Because when us crazy people start hallucinating about how we’re super-special and being recognized or controlled by powerful people, political ideology has little to do with it. There’d be precious little point in the guy telling his family that John McCain was going to declare him Messiah, after all. I mean, even the fucking *GOP* won’t listen to John McCain these days. But, hey, President Obama is The Leader Of The Free World. If Mr Crazy Guy had blown up three years ago, he’d have been explaining that Bush was going to canonize him or whatever. It’s just how it works. When you are having delusions of important things happening, you tend to build them around important real things. The president is a democrat, but crazy people being convinced the president is speaking to them through the implants in their sinuses doesn’t mean the crazy people are necessarily democrats. It just kinda means they know who the authority figures are.
But, you know, I understand that because I’m crazy, I’m not stupid. TIDOS Yankee has apparently made some different choices there.
Nothing from Yanker about Huckabuck letting this guy out, or the yrs. in prison, or the fact that he was such a bad-ass/troublemaker/fuck-up (Oh, & “psycho.”) that he was sentenced to life when he was 18? That’s surprising.
To go w/ DSidhe, it’s always amused me that many of the delusional I’ve known & heard of have believed that it wasn’t merely the CIA that was after them, but that William Casey, or whoever the CIA/FBI Chief was at the time was personally following them, inserting radios in their teeth, etc. It wasn’t enough that a team of ninjas from the IRS were in that van back there, it had to be the Commissioner him/herself.
Dramatic Chipmunk is the Universal Condiment for blog posts. It just makes everything taste better, regardless of what is being served up.
That goofy cheerleading video by the Rage Imp/Anchor Baby also has universal properties of a sort – but more like Antabuse, I think.
Dramatic Chipmunk? I thought it was a prairie dog…
Do you think that people like Gomer realize – even for a little bit, if only once in a great while – what godawful, pathetic freaks they are?
Now that you mention it, it does look more like a Prairie Dog. But the embedded title says Dramatic Chipmunk, so that’s what I went with.
Yes, but one persons delusion is anothers reality. I’ve had some real pound your head against the wall “conversations” with conservatives who are totally convinced that Obama is the Antichrist, even when one points out the fallacies in their logic.
Come to think of it, the government needs to make a logical thinking class mandatory in High School (or grade school in Gomers case).
Uh-oh. I said government. Cue dramatic rodent.
If this turns out to be the case, the shooting will be just the latest politically motivated attack on police officers in Washington state in recent memory.
It’s much easier to see the political motivation once you’ve thrown out the facts. Or maybe “politically motivated” is just Bob’s way of saying that both if the suspected shooters are black men. Yeah, that’s it:
The president is black.
The shooters are black.
Therefore, the shootings are politically motivated.
Captain Queeg himself couldn’t have produced a more geometric logic.
It *IS* a prairie dog, but you have to consider the source here. This is YouTube we’re talking about. I’m surprised that they got close enough to title it in the rodent family.
Kinda like how you used to see all those Rick Hornsby and the Range copies of “Walking in Memphis” on the mp3 networks. Of course, this was news to Rick Hornsby, who never covered “Walking In Memphis”, and to Marc Cohn, who was actually singing it.
Barbara O’Brien of the Mahablog points out that while Huckster would pardon, no questions asked, any guy a Christian preacher buddy of his vouched for, he actually not only refused to commute the sentence of a genuinely-reformed guy, but moved up his execution date so he could be killed a few weeks sooner.
The reason? The guy had converted to Buddhism in jail.

Gomer must’ve
majored influnked Special-Ed.Fixed.
Wasn’t Clemmons known to be “palling around” with Bill Ayres?? I’ll watch Glen Beck tonight for the rest of the story…what a load of crap. Between this asshole and Cheney denying any responsibility for Afghanistan…pigs are flying past my window as we speak. Lies, lies and more lies…that’s today’s GOP!
Ahhhh, but JD, you assume Ed and his ilk, Cromagno-wingnuttus-not-quite-erectus, have evolved to the point of self awareness. Is a fungus self aware? Or, a better ananlogy – a strainer of undercooked angel hair pasta?
Well, the good news here for paranoid Bob is his position in the RW pecking order just indexed up a notch with Charles Johnson’s departure from the Crazy Train. With luck, Bob will eventually become king of the shitpile.
Is Rick Hornsby the musical offspring of Rick Astley and Bruce Hornsby? gaaaahh.
i’m jsut glad the cops got the guy. it will be lot cheaper without the trial costs
Two possible answers. One, no. Two, yes, but it’s all about the Benjamins, bay-beeee! Or the ratings. Either way, he is a shithead.
Left the crazy train? In the John Cole way or the not with a bang but in a puff of cheetos dust way?
You know, I see these little guys everyday so I know it is a prairie dog, but dramatic chipmunk just sounds so much better, don’t you think?
Officials do not have a motive, but they have not ruled out a copycat killing…
Nor have they ruled out the theory that Clemmons was sent by Obama himself to create a news distraction, thus buying more time for even more “dithering.” Nor have they ruled out the theory that Clemmons was actually Bill Ayres in a fat suit and blackface, thus perpetuating his criminal activities. Nor have they (etc.)
Has anybody noticed how much this asshole looks like Glenn Beck? Maybe it’s genetic.
You think Hucklebee’s releived that the cops gunned down Maurice Clemmons, guaranteeing no long trial with all of its motions, evidence, witnesses and testimony? Then there’s sentencing and appeals? Gosh, those things take a long time to go through the court system. Would have stretched to at least 2012.
Frankly, I wish the police were able to take him alive. You may believe in western-movie-style “hangin’s too good for ‘em” cartoon/third world country crap. I’ll still take civilization over barbarism any day.
Huckster was just doing God’s work granting clemency to Clemmons. Pathetically the God Squad sheeple will believe him.
I think Charlie has had a John Cole moment of lucidity. I remember reading LGF back 6-7 years ago and I thought the general tenor of that site was to the right of FreeRepublic. But, reading that post and comments there last night, there’s obviously been a major overhaul there. Most of the posters seemed, dare I say it?, reasonable. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Whackjobistan…and how Charles’s postings will change now that he’s freed from bondage.
Who’ll be the next RW blogger to bail? Stay tuned!
Huckabee’s chances died those four cops. The GOP is playing musical chairs and the empty chair is the one farthest to the right. His opponents for the GOP nom in ’12 will beat him mercilessly with this one.
The Newsmax Unintended Comedy SPAMsite informed me that Huckabee “take[s] full responsibility” for granting clemency to Maurice Clemmons. I couldn’t bring myself to read below the fold, but I have a feeling that somehow he’ll excuse his momentary lapse in judgment by blaming it on misinformation provided by a Clinton appointee.
That Huckabee/Palin ticket in 2012 should be a real winner!
Thanks, InnoByst/25 – Maybe Charles is angling for a job at Media Matters ;)
Dennis/26 – Smilin’ Tim Pawlenty is already on the case: Speakin’ Governatorily he says HE wouldn’t have pardoned Clemmons.
Partf/24 – If Huck was doing God’s work…why does God hate those police officers?
Dennis/26 – Smilin’ Tim Pawlenty is already on the case: Speakin’ Governatorily he says HE wouldn’t have pardoned Clemmons.
That didn’t take long. Pawlenty has now upped the ante. The next one will now have to say that he would have personally beat Clemmons to death with an axe handle. I’m counting on Palin to chime in at some point and assert that she would have given Clemmons the electric chair for life.
Tune in next week To CSI: Chigger Falls
I’m fairly sure the politically correct term is actually ‘Chegro.’
From a guy who supported people carrying loaded guns to health care town halls and hints the president should be taken out.
Oh but that’s a different kind of crazy.
Yeah, but the Huckster can tell Pawlenty, “I didn’t let any bridges fall down, did I?”, and the slapfighting shitfest can start right there.
In this drama, the prarie dog portrays a chipmunk. Now that’s what I call acting!
Palin would have personally shot him field-dressed him.
From a helicopter also.
