Hostage situation at Discovery Channel HQ

[BenBurch]

Michelle Malkin weighs in on the left/right dispute:

I have to give her credit for that one.

Squirrels, of course, are pure evil as far as I'm concerned.

Yep, rats with bushy tails, the devil's rodents.

 

[Chris L]

And yes, the right/left thing doesn't fit here. The guy was just plain flying mammal feces crazy.

 

[GrouchoMarxist]

He was an ambidextrous winger.

So let me get this straight...guy is nuts, takes hostages at Discovery Channel, demands a bunch of bat-guano crazy things, and within 15 posts of the thread started on the JREF (which is NOT in the politics section) people are arguing over whether this guy belonged to the right or left.

Drop the partisan hackery, please.

I've already heard one talk radio guy saying that, so that we don't get more psychos like this guy, we need to ban the teaching of the "anti-capitalism socialist myth of global warming" in our schools.

What radio station was it? I have a list of demands for them.

I agree, he apparently was not a tea partier or a christian so lets not discuss his politics.

It was a joke. Lighten up.

Malkin is also a joke.

I agree, it seems he was neither. That's not why I asked people stop being partisan hacks about this.

In other words, lighten up Frances.

Indeed. I thought she was incapable of making a reasoned, thoughtful statement of any type but I was wrong.

I agree that he was crazy. I was simply being pessimistic about what would be discussed in the coming days from the news outlets. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I agree with one of his positions:

Talk about Evolution. Talk about Malthus and Darwin until it sinks into the stupid people's brains until they get it!!

They really should talk about Darwin and evolution until the stupid people's brains get it.

That channel used to have legitimate documentaries.

Now it's all 'Canada's Worst Driver', 'Canada's Worst Handyman', and 'My Husband Weighs 1200 Pounds'.

Hey now, Canada's Worst Driver at least performs a public service by being a most damning indictment of the driver licensing system in this country. The fact that such utterly incompetent drivers could somehow pass the necessary road tests and get their licenses shows just how bad the system is.

James Lee, the bomb-laden gunman who was killed by police in the lobby of the Discovery Channel, was once convicted and imprisoned for smuggling illegal immigrants into the country from Mexico.

Nuance.

James Lee, the bomb-laden gunman who was killed by police in the lobby of the Discovery Channel, was once convicted and imprisoned for smuggling illegal immigrants into the country from Mexico.

I liked the line about his being a smuggler being in contrast with his hate filled manifesto. My guess is, his smuggling was an act of commerce, not humanitarianism.

Money to throw into the air outside of a television network's corporate office doesn't grow on trees, you know.

No bees?

I am disappoint.
