Hey, if Malkin was in charge, would those simulating the terrorists ‘dress up’ ‘like Muslims’?

Would they, like, put on funky moustaches & stuff, and flowing robes and scimitars? Carry green Saudi flags?

Would they attempt their bad imitation of a ‘Muslim’ accent, which ended up sounding like Greek-Russian-Scottish?

How do you get non-Muslimunofacistas to look like those who must not be mentioned?

If the school district is truly committed to preparing its students for a terrorist attack, base it on reality, not P.C.

By which she means, of course, that they should be aiming their PC-rays at angry, self-loathing Asians, not at Muslims.

All this, after Chertoff was just discussing “clean skin terrorists”? Isn’t Chertoff one of the? The Reich Wing?

BTW- I would hyperlink the Chertoff thing, but that is beyond my sadly lacking IT skills. Anyone want to give me a tip on how to link in the comments? I’d certainly appreciate it…

Umm, help me out here. I’m a little foggy this morning or something. If you are doing a preparadness drill for a terror attack, just exactly what difference does it make who the imagined terrorists are? I mean, does a muslim car bomb have different effects than a christian car bomb? Do muslim terrorists take hostages in some way differently from say, bank robbers or christian fundamentalists?

If you are preparing for an attack, you prepare for the effects of the attack, casualties, damage, post-attack security, comms, site management, public affairs, etc. If, on the other hand, you are training to PREVENT an attack, then it begins to be more important that you more fully imagine the backstory. This is beyond the malkin thing’s usual jingoistic racial hatred. This is beyond a tempest in a teapot. This is so stupidly unimportantly specious as to be revealed for the disingenuous muslim hatred it truly, clearly represents.

If you cannot accurately describe who your enemy is, you have no chance of defeating that enemy. “Christiandom” cannot defeat “Islam”. The blood of many innocents can be spilled, but the outcome will at some point either be eternal warfare or some way will be found to live together in peace. I wonder if perhaps that’s the outcome the malkin thing most fears…

Imagine the ululation. They’d have a field day with that.

I can’t type the command exactly, because it’ll make a link. But substitute triangular brackets for straight brackets, and it goes like this:

[a href=”LINK-GOES-HERE”] LINK TEXT GOES HERE [/a]

Yeah Mikey, it really does make a difference who the terrorists are. The victims at the World Trade Center are way, way deader than the “victims” at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.

And those baby-killer doctors shot by True Christians aren’t dead at all so you should just stop talking about them, OK?

Glad I could clear that up for ya.

I mean, does a muslim car bomb have different effects than a christian car bomb?

Absolutely. A Muslim car bomb is a direct attack on our freedom. A Christian car bomb simply glorifies Jesus in a way religion-hating lefties can’t understand.

Christ, Malkin is a fucking twit.

As far as looking like a Muslimoterrorist goes, might it not be possible that someone somewhere in Wingnutistan, possessed of an odd combination of xenophobia and a worldy awareness most unAmerican, yet following the most Republican of thought processes, could perhaps begin to worry that Malkin might sympathize with the likes of Abu Sayyaf?

Would that be poetic justice?

Hey, wait a minute – where’d you find that picture of Castagana? Ever since he was arrested I’ve been dying to see what he looks like, and now here he is (albeit, obviously, years ago), published without fanfare.

Don’t you just know he still looks pretty much like this, except perhaps with a pornstache and a few more pounds?

Say, Michelle, how’s your boyfriend?

So…any bets as to how long it will take before “suspicious white powder” starts showing up at the headquarters of these school districts Michelle keeps screeching about?

Chertoff’s Clean Skin

If this works, its all about the clean skinnded.

Let’s not forget the Atlanta bombings during the Olympics and most clinic bombings in the US. All carried out by Muslims or other non-white of course.

Word!

If you ever find yourself in Seattle, I’ll supply you with the party favor of your choice.

Thanks, Gav.

PS Does Chertoff remind anyone else of Dhalsim from Street Fighter?

I’m just sayin’…

Wow. This is fundamentally stupid, even for Malkin.

You know, if you are trying to prevent a terrorist attack or hostage crisis, you generally have to role play what could be a likely potential attack or crisis. That includes all kinds of fringe groups. Seeing as public education is seen as a bastion of evil liberalism, I don’t think a bunch of enviro-terrorists are going to attack one and take hostages, but that’s just me. And call me crazy, but if I was a homexlamunist terrorist fighting a clash of civilizations greater than World War III, World War II and the Disco Craze combined, I’d have better things to do than attack some suburban school a half hour from Philadelphia.

You really should hand out brain loofahs with links like that. Or at least a warning.

Or when those muslims bombed the ’96 Olympics. Or when those muslims holed up in Waco. Or when those muslims invaded Northern Ireland.

They’re crafty.

Absolutely. A Muslim car bomb is a direct attack on our freedom. A Christian car bomb simply glorifies Jesus in a way religion-hating lefties can’t understand.

genius. comment of the day!

Sometimes Michelle makes it so easy even a right-wing fundamentalist could do it.

funny enough, car bombing was invented by the Tamil Tigers, themselves not muslims.

it’s all so confusing. i which it was simple and i could just know that there was ONE bad guy, who in turn was a member of a minority community in my homeland.

oh.

funny enough, car bombing was invented by the Tamil Tigers

I think you meant to type “suicide bombing”.

I know I drank several Muslim Car Bombs in my college barhopping days. Or at least that’s what I think they were called. There’s a similar libation called a Jihadmaker or something.

[…] Gavin M. at Sadly, No! asks: Say, Michelle, how’s your […]

I think you meant to type “suicide bombing�.

And I think YOU meant to type “homicide bombing.” Appeaser.

God, she’s an idiot.

“funny enough, car bombing was invented by the Tamil Tigers, themselves not muslims.”

Yes, but a terrorism drill can only be taken seriously when you dress up like a Mooslim, not when you dress like Tony the Tiger.

Which group is more likely to attack a nondescript high school in the US – Muslim terrorists or Christian terrorists?

I’d say the Christians terrorists are more likely in this context; a US school is of no value as a target for Muslim extremists. They have limited access to equipment, and if their motivations align with those of the 9/11 hijackers, they’ll want to expend their energy on a highly visible target with symbolic value. They would pose a danger to famous buildings and bridges – active landmarks where the estimated death toll could be in the thousands. They might also attack stress points in the power grid, as well as subway tunnels and busy roadways.

Their main object is to terrorize. They’re not after any really specific goals, regardless of their televised protestations; they want to make general political or ideological statements.

They don’t usually target individuals. They target ideas.

Terrorists who’d raid and hold a school are more likely to be driven by the desire for specific changes. By holding vulnerable people hostage, they’re more likely to score some airtime for their POV.

Their goal would be to persuade, either recruiting people friendly to the cause or repelling enemies, and their method of collecting an audience would be to threaten violence against a captive population. Terrorists motivated by the latter desire are far less likely to leave home for their mayhem. They don’t just terrorize for the sake of instilling fear; they want to change things close to where they operate.

Political terrorists – the ‘beheaders’ in Iraq, for example – will take hostages close to home because that’s where they want the greatest changes to occur. They will target and kill individuals. Palestinian suicide bombers don’t go all that far from home, either, because they want something specific to change near where they live.

So the terrorists most likely to attack a school in the US would be people who live fairly close by, perhaps in the same state. They would most likely take hostages for no other reason than to gain the attention of media outlets. Their demands – in this case, the beginnings of a theonomy – would be fairly specific in nature and local in scope.

Working close to home has an additional benefit: it is more likely the terrorists will find sympathizers in a populace with the same basic background and beliefs.

Muslims aren’t going to travel to the US and hold a bunch of kids hostage merely to protest the war in Afghanistan or whatever. They’d find no allies among the people or in the press. They’d have expended a monstrous amount of money and effort to attack a target that has absolutely nothing to do with the source of their anger. US Muslims who sympathize with terrorism aren’t likely to waste their resources on such a futile quest, either.

Re: car bombing

See Mike Davis’ Buda’s Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb

Hadn’t read that Orcinus post before. Excellent.

One might add: And no, it’s not “censorship” to denounce the Limbaughs, Coulters, and Malkins, nor is it “an attempt to silence them,” much as Malkin et al would love to complain and feel thus victimized. (No one is happier than a wingnut feeling victimized.)

It’s an attempt to persuade them to silence themselves, by the use of moral force.

What? Don’t bother? Yeah, I know. Still, one has to say SOMETHING.

Wait, I think we’re overlooking the obvious here. Didn’t the wingnuts’ favorite documentary film, Red Dawn, start out with Godless librul commies taking over a school? Leftists, people! Leftist terrorists! Attacking schools has been their calling card since the days of C. Thomas Howell! Leftists r in ur sk00lz and slaughtering ur d00dz!

The last three dozen or so attacks on schools in the US I’ve heard about were perpetrated by the school’s own students. Just sayin’.

You forgot the Amish school shooting Jrod…happy, fun, shooting time!

The last three dozen or so attacks on schools in the US I’ve heard about were perpetrated by the school’s own students. Just sayin’.

So, we should hit them before they hit us? Now that’s proactive thinking, Jrod! Kill the students before they can kill students! A plan any right-thinking person of upstanding character can get behind.

We must bring democracy to the public school system! For too long innocent children have lived under the twisted regime of student councils and presidencies who rule via fear and terror!

And golf carts.

Now, if only we could find some force to invade these schools. Armed and state-sponsored of course. Students will welcome them with flowers and open arms!

Sadly, here in the US we are blessed with a relative lack of politically motivated terrorists attacking civilian targets, but cursed with an excess of terrorist acts committed by individual wackos.

Our American terrorist sare motivated by their own egos, their personal rages (Name a Postal Office murder), their internal violence (Columbine), self-hatred (Santee High School), bigotry (The guy who shot Jews and a Filipino mail carrier in the SFV), gender hatred (Richard Speck, and countless domestic murderers, including yesterday’s murder in Atlanta), right wing hatred (Eric Rudolph) delusions of grandeur (David Koresh), paranoia (Jim Jones) and other sicknesses generated by our very own American culture.

We don’t need terrorists to run drills in schools. We have enough hideous horrible scenarios to drill with that have already happened here. The Muslamofascists are pikers compared to the average asshole living in a trailer down the end of the two-lane highway out west of town.

I get curious sometimes, but I am also lazy, and liable to give up with the Google search after a couple of dead-ends. So maybe someone in the Sadly-Nocracy has the right books on the shelf to can tell me: what kind of body-count was eventually notched up by the Ku Klux Klan?

I mean, does a muslim car bomb have different effects than a christian car bomb?

When you get blown up by a Christian car-bomb, you come back to life 3 days later. Also, there’s a substantially higher chance of the last sounds you hear being a Carman song bumping through a minivan stereo. One where he raps.
