Not sure about that, Simba. He’s an asshole, but he’s pretty obviously a coward. Just saying, Amy didn’t fold up her blog because people were laughing at her. Between them both, she’s definitely got the balls.

Which one of the two would you rather face in a knife fight?

What J Neo Marvin said. If this guy is an FBI stooge/agent provocateur/informant or whatever, it doesn’t change that he’s inciting someone nutbag to kill people. Seems to me that encourage others to commit violence is a pretty piss-poor way of catching people who commit violence. Because of, you know, all the violence.

If someone does commit a killing based on Turner’s actions, and that person’s attorney had hard proof that Turner was acting at the behest of law enforcement, there might be a case for entrapment. Also, the survivors would have grounds for wrongful death lawsuits against him and against the government.

Oh, and of course there would be someone dead who would otherwise be alive.

All in all, I’d say that if there’s a Turner/Fed relationship that’s intended as a law enforcement strategy, it’s a pretty fucking stupid one. Not that the feddies can’t be stupid, but I’m inclined to think that this is beyond even their capacity for jaw-droppingly bad ideas. You’d think that after Waco, the FBI would be fairly attuned to incredibly stupid mistakes.

I was just saying that I’d rather not mess around with him like we might’ve done to, say, Amy Alkon.

So if this wanker is an FBI informant, does this somehow make it OK for him to stir up this kind of shit? Some hateful little loser might be inspired to go on a shooting spree, but that’s OK because the guy who inspired him is working for “us”? All this Machiavellian intrigue is making my head spin.

Look at Turner’s latest post. Cocky li’l shit, ain’t he?

Yeah. As much as it would be fun to mess w/ those guys, he’s either (like others have speculated) an inside man for the feds or he’s crazy. And not the funny kind of crazy either. His commenters are worse.

I’m not really sure I want to find out which he is.

As far as I know he’s never actually done anything except run his mouth, so let him. I’d rather not provoke him into doing more.

Look at Turner’s latest post. Cocky li’l shit, ain’t he? (The Secret Service story is particularly funny — I find it a tad unlikely that it played out the way he says it did.)

couldn’t we fulfill the wingnut conspiracy fantasists’ nightmares just this once and get our one of our Evil Liburl Sugardaddies like Soros to pony up the cash for a clandestine hit squad and just have fuckers like Hal Turner swatted like disease-spreading mosquitos before they do any more damage?

No. SATSQ.

Look, I know its very unprogressive of me to even mention the idea and I’m sure I’ll smoke a turd in hell for it, but couldn’t we fulfill the wingnut conspiracy fantasists’ nightmares just this once and get our one of our Evil Liburl Sugardaddies like Soros to pony up the cash for a clandestine hit squad and just have fuckers like Hal Turner swatted like disease-spreading mosquitos before they do any more damage? I know, I know, I know — this is exactly the way they talk, but since the Flying Spagetti Monster hasn’t seen fit to visit his noodly wrath on Turner, isn’t there something we and do about him other than pointing and laughing?

Ah, Braveheart – the film that gets worse every time you see it.

Look out for Mel’s magical, continuity-defying axe/sword/invisible sammich that he wields in one of the ‘charge’ scenes.

LOL – for the umpteenth time, Turner flounces off the Intertubes – chilled to the bone by the prospect of being subjected to yet another round of severe pwnage at the hands of geeky teenagers. What a warrior!

The Young Ones = WIN!

While there is absolutely no telling who might go crazy and get all courage-y and Rambo-esque on a given night, tough guy talk about how cool brutal violence is will consistently be a good predictor of cowardly crybabyness…

I learned long ago that the way to avoid public interaction with violence-fetishing skids is to go out when the weather is inclement. I’m guessing it’s a combination of being total pussies & not wanting to muss their hair.

It’s quite educational to see one deprived of their peer-group … they resemble nothing so much as a lost puppy.

See the comments at Bug Lolwood? AT number (with a bullet, probably) is a gem containing the following deathless prose

So while the serfs beg for Serfdom’s measly silver, I’m fighting for America’s golden Liberty

It appears to be a reaction to some people liking Latte. Which is hangin’ offence where I come from.

Incidentally, how is the Serfing measly silver market these days? Still serfing?

Oh, my head. She just claimed she works in da Ghetto and every black student and adult she works with, which is 100% of the students and adults, voted for Obama because he was black but not a one of them could tell you a thing about him. And then she calls me a racist. This was because I pointed out that the blog owner’s desire to vote for Obama was a racist response, because she cited no other than that he was black.

Dear Lord, she has a tin ear.

Uh, I’m pretty sure that is one of Gavin’s remixes. I don’t know if the war paint in the original or not (which I can’t find).

My neighbor upstairs is convinced that Obama is the anti-christ. She was telling me why one day, but suddenly all I could hear were crashing waves and seagulls. From what I understand, he is the anti-christ because, well… because he is, and it is just so obvious, with all of his anti-christness and reverse jebusosity. (But it was pretty funny when her husband voted for Obama.)

I had a pop-tart burst into flames in my toaster once. Them things are dangerous.

I was living with my father and he went on sabbatical for a year to Europe. He tried to cure me of Pop-Tart love by buying me multiple boxes of every kind.

It was heaven.
