Wingnuts new fake story: liberals made bomb threat against DC protesters

[georgian style]

ABC News reports that someone called the police and threatened to plant a bomb during the DC protests. It turned out to be a false alarm. In comments, wingnuts are saying things to the effect of "see? liberals are crazy and they want to bomb us!" but nobody knows whether this phone call was placed by wingnuts themselves trying to create a new anti-liberal narrative, or by liberals.

1. and since we'll never prove it one way or the other...

jesus christ the freepers are crazy! i mean who the shit calls a bomb threat on themselves?

2. There had to be a plausible explanation as to why the numbers

were so low. A threat of violence is the next "we're the victim here, if only..." line of bullshit to come.

They've already been caught using a picture of the Promise Keepers march from years ago as a representation of the crowd size today.

They are pathetic.

5. Fake, Fake, Fake

A bomb threat phoned in at 4pm the night before is way too late to stop anything. People would already be in town or on the way and not have heard the threat-usually it's a local news story, and the history of protests shows that protestors are usually determined to defy the threats anyway.

7. had nothing to do with what really happened.

9. Phil Parlock?

It sounds EXACTLY like something that asshole would do.

(for those who don't remember who Phil is...... http://www.democraticunderground.com/top10/04/171.html)

13. I remember phil parlock's name..what's he faked now?

"You have to feel sorry for Phil Parlock. I mean, the guy was just trying to exercise his First Amendment rights at a John Kerry campaign event, and he was viciously attacked by Democratic thugs. They even made his daughter cry!"

"They just pounced on us," said Phil Parlock, "She was crying; they were pushing and shoving her." My God - will those evil Democrats stop at nothing? John Kerry must hate children! Actually, it looks like it's Phil Parlock who hates children - see, this isn't the first time Mr. Parlock has made it into the papers after being "pounced on" at a Democratic rally. After he and his 12-year-old son Louis smuggled Bush signs into an Al Gore event back in 2000, Louis apparently hoisted a girl onto his shoulders. According to the Charleston Daily Mail, "'She walked up and said 'I'll get on your shoulders and hold a sign,' " Louis said. While she was sitting on Louis' shoulders waving a Bush-Cheney sign, a man who identified himself as a volunteer for the Gore campaign tried to pull the sign out of the girl's hands, Parlock said. He pulled so hard that Louis and the girl fell over. 'That sounds like an exaggeration,' said Sarah Feinberg, spokeswoman for Gore's West Virginia campaign." And - would you believe it - Parlock was a victim of nasty liberals at a Clinton campaign event back in 1996 as well! Again, according to the Charleston Daily Mail, "The Huntington man said he was knocked to the ground by a Clinton supporter when he tried to display a sign that read 'Remember Vince Foster' ... 'It must have been a strict Democrat who did this,' Parlock said." Yup, our Phil certainly has a habit of complaining to the media about Democratic "thuggery." Kinda makes you wonder why he took his young daughter to the event last week. But then, once you realize that Parlock appears to have a relationship with the photographer that snapped the above pic, and that the man wearing the union shirt holding the ripped up sign looks suspiciously like one of his sons, and that Parlock even happened to be around when his local Republican party headquarters were shot at by a unknown assailant ...well, it just kinda makes you think. Funny how our Phil always seems to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time - with the media in tow."

3. SOP for the GOP

Rove wired his own office and blamed the Dems. Remember Parlock? He used to do it quite often.

Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear.

They're afraid of everything.

11. 'Lebanese bakery', ehhhh?

So, you admit to a middle-eastern connection?

And don't me a cockamamie story about 'baklava' not being some sort of code word for 'bomb'.

17. And later I was "home", "watching TV" and "reading"......

10. All I said was, "their event would surely bomb'.

I was right too, but I still feel bad that people stayed home and watched college football and Nascar instead of attending the event because of my prediction :shrug:

12. Rec'd~ Let's get this out there to at least

raise the thought that, yes, the idiots would fake a bomb threat because they have nothing.

[GivePeaceAchance]

15. Oh no !!! Poor wingnuts they're all out to get them who would hurt such kind sweet people!!!
