A Vested Interest
The opinionated moonbat has found some people who agree with his view about the “Fort Dix Six” case, thus supposedly proving his towering intellect and the stupidity of anyone who disagrees with him.
His latest post includes this quote from a CJR Daily article complaining about media coverage of the New Jersey arrests.
Some hype. I detect a vested interest by the left in ridiculing the criminal charges and by extension, President Bush.
The opinionated moonbat, Steven Hart, also wants you to know most people reading his blog agree with him. A lefty blog linked to one of his earlier posts in which he claimed the real leader of the “Fort Dix Six” was the FBI informant.

The Bush administration’s Justice Department has a vested interest in portraying every “plot” it busts as the next 9/11, regardless of how embryonic or feeble. It serves as a distraction from the administration’s failures in Iraq and elsewhere, it perpetuates the state of fear that has served this White House well in recent years, and it justifies the massive Homeland Security bureaucracy.That conclusion was backed up with exhibit A, an article from the New York Times, which includes this:
In Washington, senior law enforcement officials said that while the charges against those arrested were serious, there was no evidence that they were connected with any foreign terrorist organizations or broader conspiracy.White House spokesman Tony Snow gave a brief statement last week saying essentially the same thing when asked about the case by reporters.

You can read his entire” Pizza Plotters and the 28-Percenters on Fantasy Island” post here and check out the comments on his post he’s talking about here. In the meantime here are the comments he received from dissenters to his screed and a selection of comments from his supporters. Comments by “rumpus-room Churchills” are in red.My last post attracted a swarm of comments. Most agreed with the post, but there were a couple of loopy anti-Semiti cconsipracy (sic) buffs who had to be relegated to the spam bin, and a few rumpus-room Churchills who instantly equate skeptics with Neville Chamberlain. These 28-Percenters are immune to fact, argument and memory — despite the Bush administration’s record of ineptitude and corruption, they have been imprinted with the idea that Bush is a stalwart guardian of the West.
You can lead a winger to water but you can’t make him think. Island environments, isolated from competition and natural selection in the larger world, tend to produce the strangest life forms. Intellectual isolation appears to have the same effect. Long after the Bushies and their Republican handmaidens have been evicted from power and the great cleaning-up has begun, the bizarre fauna of Wingerworld will still be building their bunkers on the beach and jumping at shadows in the woods, building their alternate-universe mythology around the greatness of George W. Bush.Let them stay there. In fact, their perfect intellectual isolation makes them ideal specimens for display to future Americans who might find it hard to believe that this country could have gone so wrong at the start of the 21st century.
1. Vile Whig Says: Sounds like the FBI got hold of a script David Chase threw out……Hart’s got a point about Democrats. President Clinton made a persuasive case for regime change and attacking Iraq militarily. A Democratic Party-controlled Senate authorized the war in Iraq – 77 to 23. The rest of the moonbat’s rant is just nonsense.
9. MarkedExcess Says: So, are you suggesting they are innocent of any wrongdoing and should not have been arrested?
11. Dr. Acula Says: I wonder how much $ the FBI wasted on this case?
15. Rebecca Aguilar Says: I thought the air had been deprived of oxygen when this “terrorist plot” story broke. Pinning something like this on MORONS who would have been undetected but for their pizza cravings? Thanks for the fresh air.
16. ann Says: The only time the FBI can report that it has twarted (sic) another terrorist plot is when they create the scenario. But dontcha feel all warm and safe and fuzzy about Bush now? He’s really working hard to keep us safe.
17. MarkedExcess Says: So, let’s assume what we know about these morons is basically correct, and assume that they weren’t significantly manipulated by the FBI agent.Should we laugh it all off, as if they were 5 year olds running around the backyard with plastic guns yelling bang-bang? Or should they do a long stretch in prison? Or something in between?
18. John Clavis Says: Have you ever noticed that when someone antagonistically starts their comment with “So are you saying…”, they usually follow by intentionally mischaracterizing the argument being made, so as to be able to prevent cognitive dissonance by maintaining the notion that all dissenters are crazy America-haters.It should be obvious to anyone who can read and who isn’t mentally retarded what the point is being made here.
19. orby Says: so….this has just been bugging me for a while….why exactly are these guys referred to as “terrorists”? they were targeting a *military* target. they apparently had no plans to kill civilians. are now any attacks on our actual military units considered terrorist acts? does anyone in the media (or the government) know what the word “terror” actually means?
20. Tareq Says: At least, one finds some intelligent Americans. When one watches how Americans are so happy that they caught a bunch of guys like these, one wonders “Are Americans that weak that they need to boost their self-esteem, glorify themselves, and feel proud over “capturing” a bunch of guys like these (you can’t even call them a gang, not to mention a terrorist cell)?” But sadly, you, the intelligent Americans, are a minority.
21. alisbasement Says: This is a straight up witch hunt and these guys are being framed. Proud (and innocent) Muslim Americans, who are just trying to achieve the American dream like everyone else, now live in fear due to this form of entrapment, what is this world coming to?
23. Legalpad Says: The moment the story broke, timed to distract from and offset damaging news on Iraq, it was obvious that this was a propaganda set piece. They’ve had this in the can for over a year. …The true criminals are in the White House. 9/11 was an inside job; this is just part of the mythmaking to keep the larger fraud alive.
25. Out Raged Says: Wonder what the real terrorists are up to while we waste time and money on a bunch of guys who couldn’t find their asses with both hands and a map.
26. Ellen1910 Says: “I’m just glad this is going to play out in court . .” Not a chance. They’ll plead”
27. LoudPatriot Says: Where’s Osama?
29. Stus Says: And the timing is sooo convenient, when the public is getting tired and disillusioned about the Forever Wars in Iraq and GWOT.
31. Margaret Says: Osama bin Laden has promised to kill 4 million Americans and all the government can do is get informants to entrap not very bright people. Shah had no weapons, no plan, and no contacts with al-qaeda. If any case is cheesy, this one certainly is.
33. eldiablotejas Says: Obviously none of you little snots have ever been in a fire fight. If you had you would know that even a bad shot can kill you.
35. gwaltrip Says: Wow, Denial in Action. Now you know why we don’t trust you liberals and Democrats with National Security.
37. Steven Hart Says: That’s rich, gwaltrip. Liberals and Democrats would know which country to invade. They’re also more interested in catching Bin Laden than entrapping pizza men. Go back to watching “24″ now.
