FBI looking for vegan potluck terrorists (I am not making this up)
Carroll, who requested that his real name not be used, showed up early and waited anxiously for Swanson’s arrival. Ten minutes later, he says, a casually dressed Swanson showed up, flanked by a woman whom he introduced as FBI Special Agent Maureen E. Mazzola. For the next 20 minutes, Mazzola would do most of the talking.
“She told me that I had the perfect ‘look,’†recalls Carroll. “And that I had the perfect personality—they kept saying I was friendly and personable—for what they were looking for.â€
What they were looking for, Carroll says, was an informant—someone to show up at “vegan potlucks†throughout the Twin Cities and rub shoulders with RNC protestors, schmoozing his way into their inner circles, then reporting back to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a partnership between multiple federal agencies and state and local law enforcement.
The effort’s primary mission, according to the Minneapolis division’s website, is to “investigate terrorist acts carried out by groups or organizations which fall within the definition of terrorist groups as set forth in the current United States Attorney General Guidelines.â€
Carroll would be compensated for his efforts, but only if his involvement yielded an arrest. No exact dollar figure was offered.
“I’ll pass,†said Carroll.

3. why would he take this offer with no specific money amount mentioned?
they knew he wouldn't take this "job," because they were not willing to offer any pay, guess what, people get paid to work in america, even as informants!
my guess is that there is no real budget to pay informants but they figure if they put out these bogus offers that no one could accept, they can get this coverage into the press and some people will be paranoid and afraid of being infiltrated and it will slow them or their group down a little at almost no cost at all to the police or the FBI
who would take an undercover job based on "if" something out of your control happens like an arrest, "then" you'll paid some unknown amount? do undercover agents for the FBI normally work unpaid unless their work results in an arrest, at which time they are paid an unknown sum of money? hmmm, don't think so

5. Because he's a vegan pot-head.
That's how the Feds think.
They are clueless.
We used to throw big parties for those of us who had been upgraded to Federal status. That meant that you would never get caught unless you did something really dumb.

21. You really have to wonder what drugs they're all smoking that they really think that vegans are some kind of terrorist threat.

Wine for supper.
Damn, it was so easy....

You know, this is all wrong, just so wrong.

Since when are vegans known to be friendly and personable?
They're usually rigorously uptight, like their rectal apertures are sewn shut or something.
Just really uptight.

Oh, come on now!

Since the DUmpmunks are huge believers in evolution, why have they completely discarded the notion that we increased our intelligence by consuming meat? If evolution is true, we're only where we're at because we turned away from being a bunch of dumb herbivores.

Frank, every time you post and mention the bowel movements of the DUmmies, it reminds of an old joke that I can't remember all of. It's about how the different body organs and parts argue about which should be put in charge. The brain thinks it should blah-blah-blah ....then the heart has it's say and on down the list until you get to the asshole .......it finally refuses to function properly ..... and the punch line ends ..."and that's how an asshole came to be in charge."
Maybe someone will remember it or can find it on the net somewhere.

What the hell is THIS supposed to mean?

TITs is really a mole.

I dont know why, but this reminded me of a FZ tune:
Yes indeed, here we are!
At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
Where I stole the mar-juh-reen
An' widdled on the Bingo Cards in lieu of the latrine
I saw a handsome parish lady
Make her entrance like a queen
Why she was totally chenille
And her old man was a Marine
As she abused a sausage pattie
And said why don't you treat me mean?
(Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, oooooh!)
At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
(Hah! Good God! Get off the bus!)
Where I stole the mar-juh-reen
