I just want to know why his arm was so frickin' flammable.

Scratch that.

MPM,
Doesn't REALLY want to know.

I can't even guess what makes idiots from that part of the world tick.

Same thing that makes certain (though certainly not all) Christian fundamentalists tick.


For example:

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good.... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."
-- Randall Terry, quoted in The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, August 16, 1993

See? Same basic thing, just packaged differently.

We should make a big deal about this, and have lots of media debate about whether it appears to be changing Bush's position on policy. With luck, we'd get a few million of these folks setting themselves on fire all over the world.

And just think, with infrared, they will be easier to shoot to make sure their wishes come true.

Man Sets Himself Ablaze at White House
Monday, November 15, 2004

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A man set himself afire Monday just outside a White House gate and repeatedly yelled "Allah Allah" after Secret Service (search) officers put out the flames and one held him facedown on the sidewalk.

Alan Etter, spokesman for the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services, said guards at the gate quickly extinguished the flames, and the man had second and third-degree burns on about 30 percent of his body.

The man had burns to his head, back, arms and face but was conscious when medics took him to Washington Hospital Center, Etter said.

"I can confirm that there was an ignitable liquid present on the scene," Etter said.

White House doctors joined uniformed Secret Service personnel in administering first aid until the emergency service technicians arrived. They transported the 52-year-old man, who was not identified, to the burn unit of Washington Hospital Center.

Lorie Lewis, a Secret Service spokeswoman, said the man "set himself on fire on Pennsylvania Avenue on the north side of the White House complex." That section of Pennsylvania Avenue was recently reopened to pedestrians after being closed for security.


Witnesses reported hearing screams and seeing a man in flames. The man's right trouser leg was burned.

Afterward, he lay on the sidewalk about 10-15 feet from his partially burned raincoat, attache case and various papers. A fire extinguisher was there as well. Secret Service personnel confiscated the man's items.

A Florida couple with a video camera taped the incident. John and Beverly Beers, tourists from Palm Beach, Fla., say they turned the tape over to the Secret Service. Authorities also interviewed the couple in Lafayette Park.

Jim Clarke of Burke, Va., was walking his dog when the incident occurred. He said Secret Service agents acted quickly and used an extinguisher to put out the flames.

There was no immediate word on the man's condition or what led to the fire. There was evidence of an ignitable liquid at the scene, Etter said.

The Secret Service, which disclosed no additional details, is investigating the incident.

They turned the tape over to the SS?

Damnit. We'll never get to see it.

Baby Lee and Cohise, shame on you for casting your lot with this bottom-feeder. I have treated you with more respect even when we have clashed. You obviously do not deserve it.

MadMax I don't recall any exchange with you. But obviously you can't wait to team up with the low IQs of this forum. If you consider yourself one, then my guess is you will respond in a daring low IQ way like they will. I will leave it at that. Think about it. If you can.

Alway's with the drama. If you would just ignore the insults, they wouldn't have their desired effect.
[Reply]

The guys mentioned have been diametrically opposed to me on just about every political subject, just like yourself. But as bad as we have clashed there has always been a line we have not crossed. Though these guys have not yet crossed it with me, their gleeful and relentless approval and enticing of the low class jerk who has makes me very disappointed in them. Hence my message to them.

And this is more self-explaining than I have done in years.
[Reply]

:-) I personally know Big Daddy and I guarantee he is not of a low IQ at all. You are falling back on such a lame insult because you have insufficient wit or intellect to handle Big Daddy in a way that would give you credence. Then to slam on Baby Lee and Cochise is truly infantile. Please feel free to attempt to slam me.

You must have forgotten June of '03. You and I had a few rounds similar to this. Remember? I thought you decided being a BIC-Dildy clone was beneath you after that. Too bad I seem to have been wrong. :-)

BTW, when you vouch for BIC-Dildy's IQ and wit whom I "have insufficient wit or intellect to handle" can you tell me why he is resorting to the most basicly low and unimaginative insult of all. Yeah that's really intelligent and witty. By that reasoning any middleschool druggy punk is Einstein.
