2. Weapons of Mass Destruction... a couple of dolls/backpacks filled with explosives?
   
I think media hyperbole and sensationalism is reaching an all time high.

I think I'll call the theory/phenominon "Peak Hyperbole"

3. This guy has got to be the most stupid person in the world...
   
..seriously, in this day and age of Big Brother monitoring, how in the world does a person e-mail himself things with "nice targets" or an ex-prez's address in the title and NOT think that is going to throw up red-flags?

I am glad they got the guy but, jeez, what a ****ing moron...He couldn't be more conspicous if he was to walk into a synagogue wearing a bacon-suit...

We can't rely, however, on every person who means harm to be so stupid. The stupid ones get caught or fail to carry out their plans. The smart ones? Not so much.

This is why I never worry about the loudmouthed morons on the right. There are others, though, who are not heard from in public, who are far more dangerous. Those, I worry about.

Yet all of the attacks recently have been leftists. Go figure.

Texas resident or muslim Saudi Arab here on an Obama regime student visa?

Guess it depends if you get your propaganda from AlPravda or not.

If I see news cameras, I turn and go the other way.  I'm probably one to be worried about, huh?

.. And somewhere in Connecticut there is a college student who is 'offended' that he was arrested as there aren't people out there who want to target and kill Americans.

It wasn't mentioned that the intended target was President Bush. They would have had to connect the dots and admit the inept bomber was a radical leftist.

Such a predicament for the DUmmies.

They can't mention this guy was targeting GWB, because that would make him a terrorist, which to the left, do not exist.

They can't mention this guy is muslim, because that would make him a terrorist, which to the left, do not exist.

They can't mention this guy is here on a student visa, which would make him a leftist, which to the left, do not commit "hate crimes".

They can only declare the FBI, the media, and the government are all lying and making this up.

Poor, poor, stupid DUmmies.  Reality is as foreign to them as sobriety.

Diesel Driver, they're doing this more and more.  It's always the first reaction:  "I do not accept that source.  Provide another or your assertion is crap."  Look at stupidbeth, who reacted to the molested TV reporter in Egypt:  "It's only one story, and it hasn't been verified."  Vicious signs in Wisconsin?  It must be Breitbart!   Rasmussen suggests the GOP take congress last November?  "Radical RW polling site.  It's not true.  Bank on it."

I think this much denial is serious mental illness.

Yet the DUmmies will accept links to other threads on DU without external proof in those threads, or they accept fringe site editorials as factual.

They're compelled to. If they want to remain a member in good standing.

Well, that, and they want all the bull shit to be true because they believe the world should be like their delusions!
