BREAKING, CNN! THREATS TO NFL STADIUMS!

[Bluebear]

:eyes:

Homeland security is treating the threats with skepticism, nevertheless they are warning stadium owners that on an internet website they found that "a dirty bomb has been smuggled into the US and will be detonated outside an NFL stadium. There is NO credible evidence that this will occur, but they are still warning people so they can secure their community. The American people should go on with their lives as planned, including attending these games."

[Beelzebud]

1. Oh and I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the elections are in weeks.

I'm getting really fucking tired of this shit...

Will I be called a "tin foil hatter" for calling BULLSHIT ON THIS?

[Bluebear]

6. TOTALLY coincidental.

:crazy:

[file83]

51. Police have CAPTURED the man that made the threat!!! (wink)

"I didn't do it!!"

Yeah, sure Karl...we're all "innocent".

[C_U_L8R]

2. no credible evidence

indeed....

CNN needs to actually read the "news" they are reading

[MrCoffee]

13. they don't need credible evidence to cue up some ominous theme music

[Skidmore]

3. Did * lose the "football?"

They said it wasn't credible in the first sentence of the report. Sheesh! Scare the people already!!

[mmonk]

4. Oh brother.

Does this mean I'm going to be detained longer than usual for next few Sundays? Boy I'm burned out on this crap.

[Supersedeas]

72. the poll numbers were a Prediction of this!!

[gully]

5. So we're not safer with Bush at the helm?

I can't even attend a football game anymore?

:eyes:

[trumad]

7. The way my Phins are playing...

it might be a good thing..

[davidinalameda]

41. look on the bright side

you could be a Raiders fan

:puke:

[wholetruth00]

9. That's the message I take away. If a bomb really does go off then

it is for sure that we are not safer with the Republicans in control.

But really, this is Karl's October surprise. And these people are evil enough to explode a bomb within the US to try to keep power.

[gully]

37. I think that's what Dems need to say on a national level.

Are we safer or not? Is it "no accident that we haven't been attacked" or not?

[WinkyDink]

8. so, there is a threat, but go to the stadiums anyway. Cake, eat, have.

[rkc3]

12. You have to go - otherwise Ann Coulter won't be able to call your

widowed spouse a media whore after the dust settles.

[Neecy]

39. lol

[swag]

10. Sounds like a plot by anti-choice nuts. Eric Rudolph anyone?

[LibertyLover]

11. Somebody has

been reading too much Tom Clancey, especially the novel where the Islamic extremists with the help of a Native American physicist detonate a nuclear device in Mile High Stadium.

[PA Democrat]

24. Yeah, I too recognized the plot from Sum of All Fears right away.

Jeez, these guys can't even come up with original material for their fear mongering. They have to plagiarize Clancy.

[soup]

75. *** Afleck

:rofl:

[rhiannon55]

59. You mean "Invesco Field at Mile High"

It hasn't been Mile High Stadium for a few years now. Evil fucking corporations can't leave a good stadium name alone. :grr:

[MnFats]

60. Or Thomas Harris,who wrote "Black Sunday" before inventing Hannibal Lecter

[verse18]

14. Why do you hate the Superbowl?

[michael_1166]

15. Yawn.

[malaise]

16. WHen nothing else is working

and there are more scandals, try terra, terra, terra. Fuck you George Bush.

[Bluebear]

You said it. nt

[bullimiami]

17. the only bomb that might explode near an nfl stadium is one rove has

planted there to keep from losing this election.

it would be a sign that all of the rest of his criminal activities are not working well enough.

[Buttercup McToots]

20. Junk

And Chernoff is talking about how the internet encourages terrorist...
Junk

[johnnie]

18. Good

Those games are fucking up my TV schedule. :)

[Sugar Smack]

35. OH, you silly thing,

You've really gone and done it now! :rofl: :loveya:

[johnnie]

46. Oh shit

This is GD. I lost my mind for a second and thought I was in a different forum. I better get ready for the flames. Lol

[Paulie]

19. They better not SPOIL the Bears this season!

First time in forever they are better than the Cubs!

:sarcasm: :rant: :hurts: :hide: :popcorn:

[LeftHander]

81. The Bears are THE biggest threat....awesome defence....nt

[AngryAmish]

21. If done in Green Bay then it would be hard to oppose this

[kanrok]

67. Or Minnesota for that matter.

[GreenTea]

22. Get those NFL (and NASCAR) fans worried and vote republican - FEAR!

[rhiannon55]

23. "Homeland security is treating the threats with skepticism"

So why are they fucking telling us about it?

Oh, yeah... Terra! Terra! Terra! Get yer Terra here! Evil lying bastards! :mad:

[jbnow]

66. Even wolf is asking that

He never asks good questions but he wants to know why they are releasing it if it isn't credible when it will scare people and why the terrorists would give the exact details if it was real and they wanted to pull it off.

The guy gave stupid answers.
This is very stupid. Enjoy the game everyone but oh they want to kill you maybe.

[LSK]

25. warning!!! terrorists my strike!!!, please proceed as normal

But just make sure you are SCARED!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

26. So We're Not Safer, Then. Right?

Because we were told we were safer, but something like this has never happened before.

Ergo: We are less safe than we were before. That's as simple as true logic gets.
The Professor

[thunder35]

27. just BS to prop repug losing in nov 7

[Mabus]

28. Be afraid, be very afraid

:scared:

You know, I think the American public is tired of playing this particular game. I don't see it working in their favor.

[Norquist Nemesis]

32. Yes. If Cons/Bush don't get a 10 to 15 pt bounce from it....

be VERY afraid. :scared:

[williesgirl]

29. Does this mean * will have to stay up past 8:00 "workin hard"

[merh]

30. Let me be sure to go shopping.

Can't let them terraests get to me, no sirree Bob, but we better blow 'em all up over there, every last one of 'em.

[Dhalgren]

31. This sounds like the time to suspend all elections until after

football season! Then, until after basketball season! Oh, then, baseball season! After that we can have elections, if anyone is still eligible to vote...

[LSparkle]

33. YAWN. YAWN. YAWN. Back to sleep. YAWN.

[caledesi]

34. Seems like Rove was watching an old move called

Two Minute Warning? Remember that?

[brettdale]

36. FEAR FEAR FEAR and LOOK AWAY

TEN US TROOPS DIED IN IRAQ YESTERDAY, BUT MSM DONT REPORT THAT.

[JMDEM]

38. Uh -- anyone here read Tom Clancey?

I don't particularly like Clancey's political viewpoints (he says Reagan was the greatest President ever), but he writes exciting books that can take your mind off your problems or make a cross country airplane trip seem really fast.

Anyone ever read "Sum of all Fears"? Same story in that book...

Some right wing nut job (e.g. Rove, Cheney) probably read the book and then decided to make some false threats along those lines.

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. Good movie! I love Afleck!

Swoon!!!!

Seriously, though. Cons are looking for a bounce...and if they don't get it what lengths will they resort to?

[Imalittleteapot]

42. Shut down the stadiums. No games this weekend.

Sure would like to get my mate into the yard for some fall clean up.

Seriously, is this serious?

[acmavm]

43. James Baker won't release his report on Iraq so as not to

influence the election but the criminals in the bush** administration do this shit every time there are votes on the line. What a bunch of low rent shits.

I firmly believe that the worst thing you can call anyone nowadays is 'republican'.

[Beetwasher]

44. *YAWN*

n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

45. Hell, Blair based policing in 2001 on an internet legend

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=191x18796

Why can't Bush spread fear based on a website with no credibility?

[dave29]

47. More worried about these dirty bums in the White House

.

[babylonsister]

48. Just broke on MSNBC, too. Sigh. nt

[brettdale]

65. Well that breaking news on faux is

DOW CLOSES AT RECORD HIGH.

and on a poll according to Faux 91% of Americans think the media is deliberating downplaying the record highs.

[pwb]

49. must have snuck that bomb in when Clinton was president

[file83]

54. Yes, and it happened when he was staining a blue dress...

:sarcasm::rofl: and welcome to the DU :hi:

[Skidmore]

50. Not to worry. Wolfie is on it now.

Blitzer will save the day. He's on the hunt. Trackin' them down.

[wisteria]

52. Oh no, they are trying to get back the jock vote. n/t

[onethatcares]

53. now back to our regularly scheduled bullshit,

go shopping. I guess this is what happens when the courts shoot down the idea of pat down searchs at each stadium.

[notadmblnd]

55. Oh yeah, cause if A terrorist is going to blow up stadiums

their going to post all about it on a web site. New York, Miami, Seattle, Oakland, Houston, Atlanta and Cleveland are included in the targets. The bombs will be on trucks outside of the staduims. And wasn't it really nice of those mean old terrorist to let us know all of the locations too. Tehm terrorist must hate football. I wonder if they'll have the word "terrorist" stamped on thier foreheads as a courtesy To DHS too? If this isn't classic BFEE BS, I don't know what is.

on edit: they appear to have provided enough information for these idiots to stop it if it were real. If they don't there will be no excuse. The "terrorists" are claiming the blasts will kill 100,00 people. Sure this ought to convince people, only they can keep us safe.

[Skidmore]

56. Crap..they are so predictable.

Put a bunch of BS out there, worked to a fine froth by Wolfie and company, and tell the public that the authorities aren't taking any precautions or safety measures and people should go about their business and attend mass gatherings.

People should boycott any function they call this kind of phoney-baloney alert on. They've done this so many times. Let businesses take a hit and start pressuring the terraists in the government to stop their BS.

[flpoljunkie]

57. New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, and Cleveland.

Let's see. That about covers the entire country with "dirty bomb hysteria."

[onethatcares]

61. that looks like my picks on the pool this week.

not to sound crazy or anything, do you think they'll target the bucs?

[AlCzervik]

58. huh Oakland! I'll be there, can't wait!! Go Raiders!

[blm]

62. To COINCIDE with their NEW CAMPAIGN ads against Dems on terror?

.

[LeftHander]

63. October Surprise....ala Karl....nt

[Ravy]

64. Why would someone smuggle in a dirty bomb?

Isn't there enough medical waste here already?

It reminds me of the movie "Gungho" about the guy going to Japan to make a presentation and he brings a portable projection screen with him.

[spoony]

78. Excellent point

and analogy for that matter :)

[madmusic]

68. Stadiums have security.

So why don't they just wash the bomb before they let the terrorist in? Better yet, use it as the football. That way, everyone can have some fun while terrified to death.

Come to think of it, isn't this announcement/warning TERRORISM itself?

[Critters2]

69. It's a little early, ain't it?

The elections are still 3 weeks away.

[Vinca]

70. This makes me wonder how soon we'll learn about more

Republican Congressmen messing with the pages. Something's about to be released, folks.

[Kurovski]

71. If I were a team owner, I'd be so freaking pissed-off right now.

What a buncha miserable, abusive creeps.

[EC]

73. I seem to remember them doing this in 02

also around election time...Yeah, I thought so....but it was in July...

here: http://www.fantasy.sportingnews.com/nfl/articles/20020703/414315-p.html

[spanone]

74. CNN 'Breaking News' to tell us there is no credibility to the story.

What a crock of shit.

[spanone]

76. The Wolfman is really pushing this story. He LOVES it.

[Bluebear]

77. I am so sorry I had to leave the house...

...I knew Blitzer would be positively BREATHLESS over this.

[G Hawes]

79. Sounds like CYA in action

They don't seem to be taking it very seriously but they still want to cover their asses in case it turns out to be legitimate and something goes boom.

Either that or the making the whole thing up......again.

[symbolman]

80. So those evil

facist Muslims HATE US for OUR PIGSKINS on the Playing Field? :)

Too bad we can't get people to REFUSE to attend as mentioned farther upthread, if we put the hurt on the owners you better believe they'd be crawling up Bush and Rove's ASSES.

HOW dare they scare people with such BULLSHIT, THIS needs to be shoved up their asses by the Dems in some commercials.

"WE will tell you when there's a CREDIBLE THREAT, and take APPROPRIATE ACTION, not like the Republicans who only want to get elected at any cost, and hat includes scaring the pants off of your Mother."

[Guitarman]

82. Latest attempt to scare the sheep...

What a nation of pussies this government has turned us into. They use every opportunity possible to frighten the country into submission. How sad is it if anyone actually wakes up in the morning and wonder, "Is today the day when the evil terrorists get me??!!!"
