There are some nutty folks here in Utah – particularly some of the small southern towns – that I am fully expecting will blow themselves into smithereens soon with all the guns, ammo, and explosives they are acquiring. At least one freak I got stuck listening to last week was rambling on about taking back his country from the n’s and the facists and the socialists and the women and turning it into a god-fearing, gun-loving Christian nation. I was tempted to ask him how loving guns and fearing god was Christian, but the gun he kept caressing openly like he was masturbating was a bit of a deterrent, and I got away as quickly as I could. Any bets on where the next Oklahoma City will be? I’m pretty damn sure we have more to fear from the homegrown wackos than we do those oh-so-scary Muslims.
The article doesn’t say which Republican presidential candidates were involved, or which have endorsed the plot after the fact. Looking forward to that update.
Ricin, like “rice”.
We need another Waco.
No mention of race in the article. They must have been white.
@5 for the win.
If this had happened under GWB, we’d be invading the Republic of Georgia by morning. Spin-wise, it wouldn’t be a huge stretch for the American public to swallow.
Ricin has nothing to do with rice. But it has a lot to do with castor oil seeds.
The Constitution-lovin’ militia men were all aged 65 and over. While it’s great to have hobbies when one is retired, this kind of behavior will only redouble the TSA’s efforts to fumble-pet senior citizens in domestic airports, now that they have another demographic to profile.
@8, sorry, was just channeling Jesse from Breaking Bad. There’s also this explanation of the beans from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXS1DZoOK…
Men have a tendency to get a little crazy and mean as they get older: not all men, obviously, or even most men – but there’s enough of them out there for it to be a problem. I think it’s because they can’t have sex anymore. Lack of orgasms can literally drive people crazy.
It’s too bad we can’t figure out a way to either fix them or euthanize them. We do that with pets when their quality of life has eroded to the point where letting them live is cruel. Why can’t we do it with Grandpaw when he’s had too much Limbaugh?
Something for the Supercommittee to keep in mind when they take the carving knife to Social Security and Medicare.
