Only use first-quality foil.

See this is why I only use the highest quality tinfoil. Anything less would get me cau-OH GOD THEY ARE KICKING IN THE DOOR!

"It's not because I'm racist that I will kill Barack, it's because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways."

Oh... That seams rational.

Wait, I thought he was Muslim?

In my experience it isn't so much about the quality of the foil but the dedication to never remove the hat. Too many Good Americans are lost every year because they remove the tinfoil hat while bathing and then you can imagine what happens.

For what it's worth, I once spoke to a guy who said the IRS was transmitting radio waves to him, telling him to pay his debt and only called and setup an installment agreement to make the IRS stop transmitting the radio waves to him. I thought that was hilarious.

I need to pay some bills now.

Wait, so did this comment board require registration? Or did they track his IP?

Otherwise, I can use my wireless laptop and get people arrested by posting threatning messages, while leaching of their broadband.

Everyone knows it's the Mormons who control the media, not Jews. They just make it look like the Jews are in charge. And to save you all, I will kill their founder Joseph Smith! Excuse me. *whisper whisper* Dead, you say? *whisper* A group of assassins. I see. *whisper* That many years ago?
Well, my work here is done. Good day to you all.

I never understood this: Bush must get a thousand death-threats a day, he gets one and the guy goes to jail. Freedom of speech?

Makes you wonder if the militant arm of the Mormon Church is still actively seeking dissenters to kill in order to 'preserve the faith'.

Jeez, I hope nothing happens to the Obamessiah. He'll be canonized as the Black JFK and we'll never hear the end of it. Plus, Biden has an LBJ smell to him, and he'll get us into trouble for sure.

Besides, Barack has gotten his briefing from the Illuminati and now understands his role. He'll be no trouble....

Actually, as an incomplete Faraday cage, a tinfoil hat actually amplifies signals coming from underneath it.

Rockstone: I never understood this: Bush must get a thousand death-threats a day, he gets one and the guy goes to jail. Freedom of speech?

It's really a matter of if the threat could be concidered credible or not. Since this guy didn't own a gun and had no way to get to D.C. clearly he meant what he said.

Actually, an off-brand might be better. I heard that Reynolds company is giving all the information they pick up from hats made of Reynolds Wrap to the government!

 
grotto_man 2009-01-17 06:08:19 PM  
Y'know, when the FBI even questioned any of the many who threatened Bush, many of the usual suspects here complained about NeoConStormTroopers were infringing on freedom of speech. This guy, OTOH, isn't just questioned but actually arrested for threatening Obama, and you can hear crickets chirp.

/Not objecting to the arrest, just the double standard.

Look, in reality, the only thing our alien-technology mind readers can't get through is oil. Black gold. Why do you think the price of oil shot up? Yup, people dunking their heads into barrels so we couldn't read their minds.

I keep telling people, you can't wear a tinfoil hat. That blocks out all your brainwaves and the government can tell that you're up to something. You have to make a tinfoil yarmulke and put your most precious thoughts under that spot so they think you are an ordinary citizen.

He was turned in by the mods of another board. Some real tinfoil stuff here. Check out godlikeproductions to get the story.

a guy i worked with years ago told me he had made an off hand remark following the JFK assassination to the effect that he would have done that. he said this in a bar in new orleans. and got a visit from the secret service.

of course there was the whole jim garrison thing going on about that time.

Would you like to put on a pot of coffee for the Secret Service agents soon to be visiting your house?

There's not much detail in the article, but this guy probably needs treatment for mental illness more than anything else.

But without mental illness we wouldn't have sites like Timecube, DailyKOS, and Fark!

Why Obama though?
He hasn't been the Prez for the past 8 yrs.

Oh and leaving a nice and juicy digital imprint when you're planning to commit some crime, is always very smart.
Dumbass.

Cue the "leave Obama alone" EMO.
He (Obama) is just another politician that wants to suck your blood.
Anyone that thinks that Obama will solve all of our problems is a fool.

Okay RFK wasn't president but his particular disfunction seems most in line with Ufo Assassin's.

Good point - If John Hinckley had made a BBS post in 1981 talking about his plans to assassinate Reagan to prove his love for Jodie Foster, he probably would have seemed like just another ineffectual kook.

And she would have loved him, too. If only he had succeeded.

I love my state. First we have someone who threatens Bush on Myspace or Facebook and now we have this guy.

Go Dawgs!

Love my state. I do. We have crazies just like everyone else though.
