The Islamic fundamentalists are destabilizing France to get their hands on the bomb? Does that strike anybody else as overly complicated?

Didn’t they (or the Wingnuts) ever watch Mission Impossible?

I also agree with Bluewave that the fringe nuts are frustrated and dangereous. And the more frustrated they are, the more dangerous they become. After all, these are the people who gave us Timothy McVeigh.

While the French riots have given the rightnuts a temporary outlet for their venom and hatred, they will soon have to face their frustrations again. And I would not be surprised at all if the most unhinged elements of the extreme right were plotting some unrest of their own…

I agree with bluewave…the righties know Bush is in trouble and they don’t want to see him take his lumps.But they have no problems watching two hours of brutal torture by way of christian fantasy in Mel Gibson’s Passion of Christ.

The righties can’t see the riots for what they really are. Rather than face the causes, the French government shoud take it’s cue from Bush and just declare the rioters evil. Then there will be no heavy thinking to contend with… It’ll be us or them. It worked for Bush!

As awful as it all is, can anyone doubt that lots of the rightie gloating is being triggered and egged on by the sudden halt of their march of triumphalism here in the US of A? I can’t be the only one who’s noticed the almost complete disappearance of rightist commenter trolls from many of the blogs I read. They still pop up when a new “blame Clinton” talking point is issued, but otherwise they’ve been suspiciously silent and IT’S KILLING THEM. To actually have to sit back and watch their boyking herogod implode before their very eyes and know that so much of it was predicted by people they have sneered at for the past 6 years has them so angry they are ready to lash back at anything and anybody.

These are scary, scary people. As Bush gets painted further into the corner, I look for the nutter extremists to bite back in the form of some kind of attacks that will be blamed on “terrorists” of course. These folks really would like to bring on the Rapture, WWIII, and re-fight the American Civil War with nukes.

On no not Wizbang. Just got out of there, haven’t felt so much hatred in a long time. After 2 years they have it ingrained (or do I mean inbreed).

Check out Wizbang. Disinformation and ignorance are on display there in all their ugliness. According to the spinmeisters, it is France’s “multiculturalism” and the Socialist (sic!) government who are responsible for the riots.

These people do not read nor do they think. All they seem capable of doing is to spew venom.

Do the righties really think that gloating over France’s travails will make people forget about the astounding failure that is the current Bush Administration?

Conspiracy theories are invading the righties’ blogosphere.

The latest dementia is that Islamic terrorists are seeking to destabilize France in order to appropriate France’s nuclear weapons…

Does any one need any further proof that the righties are seriously unhinged?

Indeed, the rightwingers have been wallowing in the riots in France. The riots play right into their fears, jingoism, racism, and profound ignorance. To say that the rightnutters are hate-mongers is the understatement of the year.

France has not been run by “Socialists” — the rightnutters are also too ignorant to know that European Socialism is quite a bit different from what they think — since Mitterand. And that was when? A very long time ago.

This is too important to let the rightnutters get away with it. Let’s point out their mean-spiritedness, abysmal ignorance, racism, and total lack of moral values. THESE are the people who call themselves Christians?

lived through the detroit riots. we had the other republican crook in power. the riots ran their course before coming to an end. the riots occured due to poor living conditions, republican slum landlords and money grabbing store owners who sold tainted meat and soured milk in small stores. inhabitants did not have the means to go to the big supermarkets. it was awful. but these righties who think riots won’t happen here, are kidding themselves. the atmosphere now is ripe for them.
