Let's see if your buddy Drum moderates you.

What exactly would they have done it for, then? Mad at Obamacare?

Uh... that was not even close to "just like the Times Square idiot." The SUV
was packed with gasoline cans full of gasoline and full propane tanks. The guy
even put 100lb of fertilizer in a gun locker inside the SUV. Too bad (for him
and his buddies in Pakistan) he didn't understand that the fertilizer has to be
ammonium nitrate, not just any fertilizer and he used cheap timers or it would
have been a successful bomb. The gasoline and propane alone could have cause a
mass of damage and lives lost.

My boys? Who in the world are "[my] boys?"

And... what on earth are you going on about? You speak as though someone is
eager to torture people for the sake of torture.

Don't go trying to deflect attention from your leap in logic. Nothing you can
point to supports you loony claim that "teabaggers" would do anything violent.

 RS> Lie.

He was at the press club dinner yucking it up the night it happened. He then
mentions it in passing as he posed for pictures in Louisiana almost 2 weeks
after the oil spill happened. And then he talks about "teabaggers" inciting
violence.

I don't need to lie, BHO's actions speak for themselves.
