Extreme Right Wannabe-Terrorist Cell Rounded Up in U.S.

[Belisarius II]

I love the part where the police found out about this group by visiting their website

Ah, America, I luv you!

[PanzerJaeger]

I'd like to point out that planning terrorism is just as illegal under the Patriot Act as actually carrying it out is, buddy.

Do me a favor, good buddy. Read the thread again and try to figure out why your response doesn't make sense in relation to my comment.

Something just doesnt sit right with me with locking people up for intent and not action.

Yeah, they could be the Procrastination Liberation Front: the Revolutionaries of Tomorrow.

^ lol.

conspiracy in something like this is basically like attempted murder. If police found my secret website where i have plans to blow up my school, etc. i should be arrested.

A reasonable concern.

In a court of law, the prosecution must prove more than simple intent. There must be evidence that the conspirators were acquiring the means and/or developing specific plans to execute the crime. Absent that, it's simply day-dreaming which is not illegal.

Brilliant! Where do I join? (Although there's no hurry, but I will get around to it sometime).

Noplace else obvious to post this, so here we go: Sean Hannity calls tea partiers "Tim McVeigh wannabes" and they cheer. I must be missing something. Longer clip here. Yikes.

It sounds like sarcasm to me. It could be rephrased as 'All these teapartiers - you know, these people who are accused of being McVeigh wannabees by their opponents'.


Even so, if half the things the Conservative echo chamber says about the US government are true, then one really ought to overthrow the US government.
The US Liberation Front, that is, the tea party, should put its money were its mouth is. Overthrow this repressive Communist takeover via armed protest, or admit they're full of it and are only using seditious language to whip up their base.

He was obviously mocking the more extreme characterizations of the Tea Party movement. I'm sure that fact won't stop this from bouncing around the left wing echo chamber for at least a few days, though.

[The Wizard]

I think what Lemur was getting at was not the fact Hannity said it, but that the Teabaggers cheered. Though even to me it appeared like they started cheering before he said "Tim McVeigh wannabes".

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It is very obvious (he even ends with "as they say"). It seems like people taking it the other way are predisposed to assume the worst.

Swap out "Tim McVeigh" with "Osama Bin Laden", and watch the Teabagger's go ape****. A terrorist is a terrorist, unless we share the same views and skin color as him/her. Sick.

Holy *****. I figured this headline had to be out of context or an exaggeration. The only explanation could be that the audience is so stupid they don't know who McVeigh was.

THERE WAS A ***** DAYCARE IN THE BUILDING. How about you defend a child killer some more you terrible person.

And this is what's focused on rather than him saying the bill (if that's what he's talking about) passed because of bribes and back room deals and corruption.
