Toldjah So: Nutroots yawn over story of thwarted Ft. Dix plot
Now, let’s imagine what the left’s reaction would be had the plot actually been carried out:
“BUSH KNEW!!!!”
As with everything else with the left, they are full of sound and fury signifying nothing but bluster. If an attack is carried out, “Bush knew.” If it’s stopped before it happens, it was “over-hyped.”
Amazing. They wig out over a stupid non-issue, but essentially say “BFD” to a real one involving national security.
I think a petition should be started, filled with signatures, and sent to Webster’s dictionary, to implore them to put a picture of the Democratic party’s symbol next to the word “predictable.”
Update and Bump: Well whadda ya know? Keith Olbermann, in yet another effort to pander for viewers, also claims that this thwarted plot was over-hyped. Oh, and the terrorists who wanted to kill our soldiers at Fort Dix? Well, they weren’t terrorists. To KO, they were merely “morons” (via Olbermannwatch – with emphasis added by me):
OLBERMANN: And one other note today. The ultimate premise of the war in Iraq and the ultimate premise, certainly, of the Republican presidential campaign ahead, counterterrorism. The FBI claims it has broken up a plot to attack Fort Dix in New Jersey. The flaw, though, in the breathless reporting of the purported terror cell, the bureau infiltrated the six-person group after its members took video of themselves practicing with assault weapons, brought the tape to a photo store, and had it transferred to a DVD.
The details of the supposed plot don’t seem to hold together that well either, though that did not stop extensive and entirely credulous coverage on TV, the Internet, in print today. The men supposedly had plans to gain access to the base disguised as pizza delivery guys, then cut the power somehow, they, quote, “hit four, five, or six Humvees and light the whole place, and retreat without any losses.” And take the tape of yourselves practicing and have it copied at PhotoMat. In other words, the FBI has arrested six morons.
If indeed they could be described as morons, would this be a good time to say to KO: “Takes one to know one”?

That’s not all they’re full of.
Yep, exactly as expected. Recall the left’s first complaint after 9/11 – even before they morphed their crackpot ideas into “Bush knew”. That complaint was that the administration didn’t “connect the dots”. Remember that phrase? By that, they mean the evidence was clearly there, but no one was smart enough to take action1.
However….if the authorites do take action, and do “connect the dots” – then their first response is to pooh-pooh the efforts. This comes right before they start becoming “gravely concerned” about the civil rights abuses that the poor terrorist (sorry, alleged terrorist) surely suffered at the hands of the Bushitlerian fascists. My prediction – that will happen sometime in the next 48 hours.
(sarcasm) Unlike, of course, the previous administration, who I’m sure “connected the dots” before the 1993 WTC attack, the attack on the USS Cole, etc. (/sarcasm) [back]
Hmmm…do ya think tommy in nyc is really Olbermann’s internet nom de plume??!? Or is it just coincidence that they’re running with exactly the same spin on this? Has anyone ever seen them post in different places at the same time??
At least tommy’s delusions are due to the illegal chemicals running around loose in his brain….what’s KO’s excuse?
KO is a dork. Is he still dating his friends daughter?
Laura Ingraham, my hero, summed it up perfectly yesterday on her radio show. The media will spin this as they did they other guys they busted as guys who just wanted to try something. no danger, no problem here folks. Get a GRIP you moroons. !!! Everytime we bust up a plot they do this crap to make Bush look bad and I sick and damn tired of this. Even if these guys weren’t directed by AlQuida (sp) they were plotting to kill our soldiers and were here, most of em, ILLEGALLY.
If this had happened can you just imagine the msm and the blame they’d lay on Bush.
When you are dealing with far left loons this is the kind of crap you get. The nyslimes have already taken these guys side and the civil rights and human rights lawyers are already climbing out of the sewers to come to their defense.
If this keeps up and we don’t get a good candidate to run in 08 I’m seriously considering moving to the land down under. The Aussies are good people and I’m beginning to think 1/2 of my people are totally BRAIN DEAD. It is gonna take another attack on our great nation to wake some of em up and their are others who are so totally gone Nothing will clean out the mush they call brains in their heads.
If the dems prevail in 08 I may be outta here and I may be gone if some on the right win.
Just call me an alex baldwin —- ugh, thats disgusting but I’m pissed. Thanks for letting me vent here Sister.
GWR, you beat me to it! I think tommy is a sock puppet for KO. Either that, or they get their talking points from the same Soros funded organization, and act like dutiful little clones and march out and spread the word like little robots incapable of individual thought.
But if the plot hadn’t been foiled, it would have been All George Bush’s Fault.
Because the peaceful, innocent Muslims have been arrested, they didn’t actually do anything — so it’s easy for our friends on the left to say that nothing serious really would have happened.
The dirty little not-so-secret is that our friends on the left just plain need to have another bad terrorist attack on the United States. They need it to prove that President Bush’s policies and the Patriot Act don’t work. When something does work to prevent a terrorist attack, it has to be belittled, because evidence that our security policies do work is intolerable.
Well of course these six guys were morons! But that doesn’t make them any less dangerous. Armed morons are more dangerous than unarmed ones, aren’t they?
No one believes things can happen until they do. If I wrote a script about the people who bombed my former workplace 2/26/93 with a rented van, reported it stolen, then returned to the agency to get the deposit back, what producer would buy the story. In reality, dumb people do a lot of damage.
Morons? I don’t know, it looked like a decently well thought out plan, especially using the pizza delivery as a way to scout out the base. It could have worked, especially if they had gotten a hold of RPG’s, not an issue for them considering how ’secure’ our southern border is. Heck they could have used pipe bombs just as easily. I wonder if they had any problems touching the pork on the pizza?
Another brilliant analysis Olberman. The only moron is you. I imagine if someone had told Olberman on 9/10/01 that several men armed with knives were going to hijack 4 airliners and fly them into buildings across the U.S., he would have laughed and called them morons, too.
vegas art guy, I agree, it could have worked, but these nut-jobs want to make themselves famous before they carry out their “mission”, so they make videos of themselves, and are prepared to alert the MSM. Why can’t these narcissists leave the rest of us alone?
There’s another angle to this that is mighty disturbing and it says something bad not only about Olbermann, but anyone sympathetic to him…in any way. Any way at all.
From what I am reading here, Olby has a point to make. The point is that these cannot possibly have been the suspects, assuming there are any suspects at all, and Olby would like us to believe that there are no suspects anywhere. To bolster this point, Olby advances evidence to suggest the six suspects are morons.
As a side note, by the way, I’m sold on that.
But to entertain Olby’s point seriously…I mean, to even begin to…you have to believe, unconditionally, that being a terrorist, and being a moron, are two mutually-exclusive career paths. Somehow, rising up out of oblivion like Venus from the ocean, we see the axiom that it’s impossible to be both at the same time. Terrorists. Morons. You have to choose which one you’re going to be.
I guess your I.Q. has to be average-or-above in order to be accepted into the terrorist-academy.
If you reject this…or even show the slightest hesitation in accepting it wholesale…Olby’s argument crumbles. Olby, I’m thinking, once backed into a corner, would admit this.
Does the same apply to our brave troops? If you’re out there in Iraq risking life and limb, facing down I.E.D.’s each and every day, have you proven your worthiness for Mensa membership? More to the point, would Olby and his followers agree we’ve got a bunch of rocket scientists out there? Or that the “morons” have been filtered out of such a class membership, perhaps through boot-camp? Is that what they’d say? I mean, surely they wouldn’t be reluctant to sign on to that…to assert otherwise, would be to accuse Olby of thinking our terrorists are smarter than the people who fight them. And I don’t think he’d have kind things to say about me if I thought such a thing about him.
But somehow, I don’t think Olby regards service in our armed forces as proof of intellectual acumen. And it is clear from his remarks, he does think such a thing has been proven, by anyone farming out their unselfish service in the cause of “real” terrorism. It’s abundantly clear. He’s shown someone to be a moron, he thinks he’s proven they aren’t terrorists.
Seems to me, on the strength of his own remarks and nothing else, he’s painted himself into an uncomfortable corner here and is left with a distasteful choice. I wonder how he’d pick if he were directly confronted with it.
