John Bolton picks Chicago as a city for terrorists to nuke
By David Neiwert Friday Feb 27, 2009 9:45amThere's something about the annual Conservative Political Action Committee's annual convention that just draws out the ugly eliminationists. Every year it's someone -- usually Ann Coulter -- wishing aloud that someone would just blow away or lock up liberals and minorities en masse. This year it's John Bolton:
He [Obama] said during the campaign that Iran was a tiny threat. Tiny depending on how many nuclear weapons they ultimately are able to deliver on target. Tiny compared to the Soviet Union, but is the loss of one American city — pick one at random: Chicago — is that a tiny threat?
As Think Progress notes:
The audience erupted in cheers and laughter at the idea of Obama’s home city being obliterated.
It's nice to see they've expanded their targets. When right-wingers wish aloud for terrorists to obliterate an American city, it's usually San Francisco.

isn't this kind of talk defined within the Patriot Act as illegal?
Just askin'.
I guess it's ok when it's spoken by a soulless, walrus faced scum bucket.
this guy is an a$$! He should just STFU and go directly to jail. I'm fed-up with these maroons!
He is such a tiny threat.
Noam Chomsky was right:"vote Obama with no illusions"
Every time these people speak it makes evident what a gangster regime the Bush Administration was.
maroon
ma·roon : a fugitive black slave of the West Indies and Guiana in the 17th and 18th centuries ; also : a descendant of such a slave
Or do you mean moron?
mo·ron
1: usually offensive : a mildly mentally retarded person
2: a very stupid person
maroon -
A term of derision often uttered by Bugs Bunny when referring to an interaction with a dopey adversary. It is a mispronunciation of the word "Moron"
From The Urban Dictionary website.
It's a word (or neologism?) you see quite a bit on the net. I didn't know about the Bugs Bunny origin, though.
Bolton is telegraphing ideas to the terrorists jus like the librul media, Hollywood communists, and the neighbor's cat do.
You nailed it! This is PRECISELY the kind of "public speak" which the Patriot Act defines as "incitement to terrorism" and these clowns should be arrested.
The Angry Walrus strikes again.
An original PNACer who thinks that the only way to do anything is to kill, maim or destroy someone else.
I have a hard time saying which Bush era jerk is the biggest asshole, but this guy certainly tops the list.
Fuck you, Bolton. I wish that guy in the UK would have arrested you - or hey, maybe dropped a nuclear bomb on your dumb ass (since you seem to love the thought of dropping nuc's, I doubt you'd mind taking one for the country, right?
Asshole.
PNAC completely discredits intelligent design.
What respectable monkey wants to hear that they are related to John Bolton or Douglas Feith? Even some invertebrates are probably outraged.
The most likely people to throw a nuke are the Israelis. And they wouldn't nuke Chicago, they would hit Iran.
Off topic: Last night "Shade Tail" asked for an official statement that supported my claim that there was no direct evidence that
Osama bin Laden was responsible for 911. I found it. Listen to Dick Cheney tell Tony Snow.

I'd really like to know how conservatives think that small, poor middle eastern countries are able to develop nuclear missiles not only capable of evading American anti-missile warning systems, but also flying half way around the world to strike an American city?
Unfrickenbelievable!
A much more likely scenario is a small nuke coming in a container at Newark Harbor.
do we have any method for detecting nukes hidden in Rush Limbaugh's anus?
That's a stupid and meaningless statement.
Rush is a weapon, not a joke.
stupid? possibly.
Meaningless? Well, have you actually SEEN the size of Limbaugh's ass.
You can land planes on that thing.
OK you made me laugh. Damnit!!
You are funny, Liberal AND Proud!
What about submarines?
Are you concerned with Rush's backside being used as a port of call? or that he could be covertly fired from a submarine nuke silo?
Meteorologists have to factor in its effect on tidal calculations.
It has gravity.
if we could just get limbaugh to wear high heels, he'd strike oil with every lumbering step...Energy crisis solved!
You're welcome.
That when doctors performed the surgery to remove Rush's pilonoidal cyst, they told an orderly to dispose of the ugly thing - can't miss it.
The orderly promptly threw away an anethesized Limbaugh and left us with a talking anal cyst, which just about explains everything.
I'm giggling like a maniac over here. Thanks.
nice one. GROSS, but nice one.
is that we (as in the govt-corp) will use the fear of nuclear attack to keep wasting billions on a fantasy star wars missile defense system, and to use the nuclear-fear the way the communist fear was used for decades.
not to say that there isn't GRAVE danger with loose nukes. its just that there are many more real and more likely threats that we take our eye off when we prepare for some sort of nuclear attack. like, say, guys with box cutters. to envelopes with white powder. or govt officials that lie us into unneeded wars. or a financial establishment that gambled us into an economic depression.
w picked this lunatic for the UN.
we'll know who did it
"the process of transformation.. is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor." -- September of 2000 PNAC document ~ Rebuilding America's Defenses.
Would they blow up a few buildings and kill thousands to advance their agenda(s)?
You betcha!!
Wake up Americans.
Disaster Capitalism is a tactic these people plan out and war game. They spread their hate to ignorant Americans like these children at the CPAC conference and get away with it all. More good people are going to have to stand up if we are going to stop these corrupt and evil ones. More leaders need to speak out. Many have.
I'm in agreement: Wake up Americans!!
It's STAND UP.
We're really going to sit here cowering in fear every time Bolton or some other loon waves the terrorism red herring in front of us?
Simple question, Johnny: Where was your sorry ass when Richard Clarke, a week after Bush was inaugurated, requested a Principals Committee meeting (i.e. top tier Cabinet) to discuss terrorism?
Using the same failed ideas, delivered by the same messengers is definitely the definition a sign of insanity.

The scarier part is, someday a nuke may go off – here or overseas. If that happens, it will most likely have originated in one of the STANS. We, as a country, are not being asked not to fear (ala Churchill). We are not told to remain proud as a people – tempered by war (ala Kennedy), but to BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID (ala Bolton).
The scariest part, if that happens, comes from people like Bolton being in charge, and what THEY will do to America in the aftermath.
and anywhere, there's gonna be INSTANT martial law, no matter who's in the Oval Office at the time.
Exactly. Without the tempered “do not fear” and “stand strong” messages, we are being conditioned to fear and panic. Make no mistake; another terrorist attack will happen, sooner or later. Of course we should do everything reasonable to prevent it. But we must also plan for it, and expect it, and be ready to temper our response without going all BushCO and kill a million Iranians because of it.
The FEAR message, as always, is the wrong message.
Create a myth, like Obama will make the US easy for attack from terrorists, then run like hell with the ball.
Breaking News! James Dobson has resigned as head of Focus on the Family...
I wonder what he's gonna focus on now?
ONE GUESS...that it's a sex scandal involving pale young boys or hookers!
Oh...please tell me this is a Haggard sort of event.
Please, pretty please!
This is going to be interesting!
if CPAC is having the likes of john 'i hate you' bolton speak, and special sessions with sam the unlicensed handiman that can mean only one thing: CPAC is on its last racist and classist leg.
Really? The Wurtzelnator is talking? I heard Palin turned them down. Something about no new clothes...
no, not really. from what i understand is that JTP was part of some sort of CPAC sideshow. him and the elephant doing things to entertain the knuckledraggers.
really, again, what does it say about CPAC when JTP is an "attraction"?
speaking of, you heard about his book signing, yes? or should i say his '5 books signed' thingy.
I missed that. That is hilarious.
I can't imagine anyone who is literate wanting to buy that book - maybe someone with a shrine devoted to terrible creations of pop-culture.
I like the occasional trashy read as much as the next person, but I have my limits!
BUSH KEPT US SAFE.
Because, gosh, it's not like these guys were able to OBTAIN nuclear materials and DEVELOP a working nuclear ICBM (or a suitcase bomb, take your pick), then SNEAK it past the TSA ...
for exactly 8 months and ten days.
That suggested attack on Chicago almost sounded like wishful thinking. Terrorist attacks, President's economic plan failing=depression...GOP agenda.
Be a Republican.
John Bolton is raking in the cash now as a hired public speaker.
Bush sent him in during a congressional recess.
Plumber/Reporter are both going off the deep end. Joe is now talking about slapping/shooting members of Congress.
WTF, is going to be challenging Congress to duels now?!
for these appearances.
with the flying-monkey/fucktard/fundie Right: You cannot negotiate with somebody who wants you dead.
Last I heard the Iranians may have rockets but no long range ICBM capability, so they could never hit Chicago or anywhere else in the US, except perhaps as a dirty bomb.
And they wouldn't even have what they have if the repugs in Congress gave Bubba the money he asked for post-Soviet Union, to help them dismantle their bombs and destroy the materials. Now those materials are on the black market, but I suppose that was "pork."
any thread on the danger iran poses needs to start with TPAJAX...

Whatever happened to those nukes that went flying over the United States. I hope some journalists have adequately covered that story.
Endangered Species if not already extinct.
They grounded that wing for a couple of weeks.
strengthened the accountability chain, or something.
Promised that it wouldn't happen again...

Yes, again! You'd think that these frauds would begin to "get it". This country is totally FINISHED WITH ALL OF THEM. They lost and will never regain control of this country again in our lifetimes.
This Bolton guy is the quintessential assclown.
I think that a good case could be made that John Bolton has just violated the patriot act by inciting (suggesting) a terrorist attack on this country.
As well, let's round up Rushcontin, the Human Asswipe, for suggesting terror and Sean Hannity, the Manatee for having a poll on his website asking people what form of "revolution" they prefer.
If this isn't using their public platform to incite violence in our cities and terrorism against us, then I don't know what is.
That's right - Rush Bimbo, Sean Manatee and and Johnny Kangaroo Bolton
but what really scares me were the nutcases in the audience, laughing and clapping like freaking lunatics.
Jeebus.
Then again Chicago is a Democratic city...and Obama's hometown.
Always has, always will. As much as people like Bolton, Limpballs, and InsHannity piss me off, what really worries me is that a significant part of our population actually enjoys their drivel. It's like they think they are watching a winner-take-all sporting event or something.
I've been hearing this from several sources this past week that Rush has many problems which we are aware of: narcissism, self-loathing, obesity and a problem with pedophilia.
..that Rush is into women but I simply can't believe it.
That would suggest a cursory level of sexual maturity which Rush doesn't have. He uses this as a cover for his problem with little boys. He's never had a legitimate hetero relationship in his life.
that he has to pay for don't count.
Well that little trip to the Dominican Republic that on his return he was busted with illegal Viagra he said he was spending time with the boys. He went alone as far as I know so it's not much of a leap to draw some conclussions from that. I'm not sure if that's where the stories you're hearing are coming from but I'd guess it's one piece of evidence to support the possibility.
So, hypothetically, as ambassador to the UN, this guy would have met with El Baradei, right?
They won't be happy until all of Rome is burning.
It's time for the people to press the DOJ and AG on either arresting these individuals for incitement to violence and crime or fining the stations which permit them to use it as a public forum.
If you or I went to our town squares and spoke like this, we'd be hauled off by the police immediately.
We can no longer permit these public individuals to violate the patriot act in public like this.
It's time to break the balls of these corporate fascists and the airhead puppets they parade before us.
It's time for the people to put them on notice that we will not tolerate this behavior in our public arenas or on the air.
As I see it, just this week we have three criminals who have violated the Patriot Act right in our faces: Rush, Hannity the Manatee, and now Bolton.
It's time to arrest their sorry asses.
Bring it in person or go back to hiding under your blankets. In the meantime, the adults will go back to cleaning up the mess you selfish bedwetters made and because the Universe is an ironic place, you will benefit by a stronger, more fair America alongside the rest of us. You're welcome.
So sick of these cretins...
This sicko is totally discredited. He forced his wife Christina to engage in group sex and was a "regular" at Plato's Retreat. This guys's a sleazebucket. Here's the link:

In repug circles, those are his credentials!
'Time to hip up the Repugs' sayeth my man Steele.
Time to get Larry Craig rapping over that beotch on the other side of the glory hole.
Time to get Bolton a big flashy grill to sparkle while he's giving CPR to the party and at the same time spreading it wide on the East side.
Give it up fo' HoMaster B.
As a republican I am ashamed at Bush,Rove,Cheney,Bolton,Rice,Rumsfelt and all of the lemming leftovers that support violence against America and Americans. At a time we should try to fix the Republican disaster the republicans caused to America we have them calling for more terrorism in America.
With the wealth they robbed they have Blackwater as their army, Haliburton as their industry and approximately 200 billion dollars of American tax money to wage war against America. Limbaugh praises their "taliban" handle they give themselves. All should be tried under the Patriot Act, none are American patriots. All are terrorists.
This country should come first! Any organization (BUSHCO..a nazi rooted organization..See Prescot Bush nazi activities)that incites violence to America and Americans is an enemy of the country. Bring our Marines home and have our Marines arrest them all. Just like the FBI had to do with the 700 drug dealers and the 19,000 bank robbers and tax evaders with the Swiss bank accounts, have to be arrested. They are "ENEMIES OF THE STATE". Prepare Americans, they (the terrorists) are within us and they are the Republican party.
" America and Americans first", is not just a sales pitch to be taken lightly. Even McCain is responsible for this terrorism.

These guys just kill me. They make jokes about wiping out whole US cities, about murdering, or at least despising, the majority of America's citizens (if the elections are any indication), and then point the finger at their opposition and call *them* anti-American.
Weirdos.
I hope Bolton will be in Chicago at ground zero when it happens.
.
Q U E S T I O N:
What kind of American wishes harm upon his own Nation?
.
A true American would never do such a thing. Bolton is a skid mark.
.
Ahhh, I get it...
... It's not TREASON when A (R)uspublican does it, YES?
.
he's insane.
Mike....you da damn SLOB of Bisbee
f*ck it - waterboard the f*cker - ask him *EXACTLY* how he knows Chicago will get hit.
Can't this bastard be jailed for his rhetoric? He's always wanting to see some U.S. facility, or city, attacked.
That's all they are. When their time in the WH is done, all they do is go around the country and tell people how Barack and Joe will sink this ship. Pardon me Mr. Bolton, but wasn't your bosses who were the ones who originally steered into the glacier?
Just saying.
