Stupid Vermin Tricks: Muslim Fanatic Threats Letterman Over Joke
— Ace

On June 5th, Letterman made some kind of joke about a drone strike which killed an Islmaist leader in Pakistan. (Note it wasn't bin Ladin.)

Now comes the threat.

It's not really a threat so much as an impotent zealot calling for violence.

A frequent contributor to a jihadist website has threatened David Letterman, urging Muslim followers to "cut the tongue" of the late-night host because of a joke the comic made on his CBS show.
The Site Monitoring Service, a private intelligence organization that watches online activity, said Wednesday that the threat was posted a day earlier on the Shumuka al-Islam forum, a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims.
The contributor, who identified himself as Umar al-Basrawi, was reacting to what he said Letterman did after the U.S. military announced on June 5 that a drone strike in Pakistan had killed al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri.
Al-Basrawi wrote that Letterman had made reference to both Osama bin Laden and Kashmiri and said that Letterman had "put his hand on his neck and demonstrated the way of slaughter."
"Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair al-Mairi ... to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?" Al-Basrawi wrote, referring to El Sayyid Nosair, who was convicted of the 1990 killing of Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane. Letterman is not Jewish.

CBS isn't releasing the transcript of the June 5 show, so we can know the joke, and oddly, I don't see it on the internet, although in theory at least a million people saw it.

And... Speaking of vermin who enjoy political terrorism, two men arrested for harassing Palin and her family.

Could it be on YouTube somewhere? Any enterprising soul want to take a crack at it?

4 Well, I'm outraged Letterman is still making the same lame jokes on the same lame show.

Ok, mildly annoyed is more accurate.

Hey, did he make a joke about the drone sexually violating the jihadi leader's daughter? Because that's some funny stuff right?

7 I think there are more Muslims than Americans watching Letterman. Saw him back in the late 70s/early 80s at a show when he was doing standup, and he was actually funny then. Boy, do times change.

I believe the joke involved Letterman dragging a finger across his neck, miming slitting someone's throat. He does it a lot. I don't watch him, but I read the description at I THINK Big Hollywood.

If the muzzies get PO'ed at something as innocuous as this, I wonder what they'd think of me calling them a mindless death cult of backwards goat-fuckers who follow the teachings of a psychotic pedophile?

47 Speaking of vermin who enjoy political terrorism:

Afghans using U.S. outpost for target practice

David Axe reported, quite vividly, in Wired magazine, the lone outlet to cover the battle on Oct. 30 when American forces were surprised by a wee-hours attack by hundreds of unusually sophisticated fighters who were "armed to the teeth and shouting 'Allah Akbar.'" Others have even occurred during U.S. missions into town to "show our faces," as one soldier put it, one of the riskier (stupider) tactics of counterinsurgency, or COIN. But on that October night, "one of the biggest localized fights" of the decade-long Afghanistan war took place and no one noticed, not even after Gen. David Petraeus called the outpost's battle to save itself from being overrun "one for the history books." Maybe the omission is connected to the fact that Petraeus didn't also speak of the great national purpose for which these valorous soldiers had just risked life and limb. And maybe that omission is connected to the fact that there wasn't any. The top COINdinistas who inserted these mini U.S. outposts like pins in a map deep in hostile territory have never had to answer for them. These remote outposts, the on-paper theory went, would serve as American welcome wagons among the misogynists, pederasts, polygamists and even secret jihadists who are the relentless objects of affection in "population-centric" COIN. Incredibly, this same, exact COIN mission still holds, nearly a decade after it got its start and long after Keating and Wanat closed down. COP Margah, for one, remains open for battle. Incoming jihadi fire is increasing greatly, at least compared with recent months. Recently, insurgents tried to breach the perimeter fence Â– probing defenses, no doubt. It is now, right now, that COP Margah should be on the worry meter for Americans. This U.S outpost in the Wild East of Afghanistan sounds all too much like another COP Keating or Wanat just waiting to happen. And the U.S. military knows it. In April 2011, Long War Journal reported on a visit by David Axe to COP Margah, where he learned that insurgents based in Waziristan, Pakistan, "train fighters in indirect fire, using the COP as a target." If the insurgents use COP Margah as a shooting gallery, I conclude this makes our men there sitting ducks. Army 1st Lt. Jason Wright further explained: "The Waziristan Agency (tribal government), they have a handbook ... almost exactly like our Ranger handbook...." Now remind me again: If jihadists use COP Margah as a shooting gallery, what does Uncle Sam use it for? For what national purpose is the U.S government ordering troops to risk death to defend a chunk of Afghan terrain near Pakistan? Shouldn't Afghans be defending their own terrain Â– if they even want to? Shouldn't someone in Congress, or maybe an extra-brave GOP presidential candidate, raise the question? Too bad for the troops...

Is the left todayÂ’s plantation analogue? The truth is, if liberalism worked to pull people out of poverty, there would be no need for liberalism. Liberalism perpetuates and grows by keeping people down and by pulling ever more numbers of people down by making them dependent, not independent. So, yeah, I think thatÂ’s a fair characterization. And Rangel feigning being offended made him look like a foolish liberal tool.

Exactly.

I don't get why our Military (some of the civilians, okay, but the military should understand this and be able to articulate it) don't seem to understand that more violence at the outset means less total violence is necessary.

Ehhhhh. Slippery slope. Give the Government the ability to go and hack folks for the occasional threat of violence posted by a third party and let me tell you how that will get, ahem, abused.

Say a particular web site with a generally rough attitude and a theme based on, say the corsair lifestyle, has commentary and an open forum that is a political problem that drives the discussion into well, many uncomfortable areas. No problem just get a few covert partisan operatives to post calls to violence, then use the hacking division to shut them down. Political problem solved.

It might be. Some of these guys are 100% serious and make good on their plans. In this era, it's difficult to finance terrorism without resorting to 'internet commodities' AKA Bit-Coins, which is a less traceable way of funding someone.

They rely on the internet to coordinate.

Then again, many of these people are just loudmouth punk kids with no intention of acting on their plans. Sadly history shows we need to take them seriously because all too often they do act on their plans.

131 "...Palin, the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee, her father, and her friend, Kristan Cole, requested restraining orders against Shawn Christy last year, saying he threatened them, sent a receipt for a gun purchase, and said he was buying a one-way ticket to Alaska..."

Seems to me that the best "restraining order" Ms. Palin could provide would be to mail back copies of receipts for a dozen or so of her own most recent gun purchases. I'd bet good money that this strategy would result in some self-restraint on the party of Mr. Christy. Peace through superior firepower, and all that.

I mean, does anyone think she's going to be terrified of a gun receipt? I'd wager she has thirty million friends with gun receipts.
