Crazed Teabagger Wanted to Shoot President 'Seven Hundred Times' and Said He 'Is the Anti-Christ'

Thank goodness we've got the Southern Poverty Law Center on the job otherwise we wouldn't have tracked down this wild-eyed extremist, who no doubt honed his hate skills out with the Democrat militia men in the Michigan woods. And if it weren't for those crack investigative reporters at Newsweek uncovering the spike in hate, maniacs like this would still be roaming free uttering lunatic statements like the commander-in-chief "is the anti-Christ and if Allah does not kill him then a brother will."

Oh wait, all this crazy talk was about Bush? This guy was plotting against Jews?

Never mind.

The alleged leader of a terror plot to bomb Jewish synagogues in Riverdale and shoot down military aircraft upstate is a "hate-filled, anti-Semite" who called Osama bin Laden his "brother," prosecutors allege in court papers filed today.

James Cromitie also told a government informant that he wanted to shoot former President Bush "seven hundred times," saying the 43rd commander-in-chief "is the anti-Christ and if Allah does not kill him then a brother will," the papers charge.

Federal prosecutors in White Plains say Cromitie was repeatedly caught on tape making "lengthy rants" inside a house wired by the FBI after he unwittingly introduced himself to a government informant at the Masjid al-Ikhlas mosque in upstate Newburgh in June 2008.

Responding to Cromitie's claims that he was entrapped, the feds say the informant -- who's been identified by the defense as Shaheed Hussain -- "was actually working on another investigation" at the time and "had no idea who Cromitie was."

But after the informant told Cromitie he was a member of the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, Cromitie allegedly responded "without hesitation" that he wanted to join up and "do jihad."

Funny how the kook left who called BS on these arrests are quick to link the aformentioned militia members as tea partiers and ominous threats to America.

At least they're consistent. Consistently idiotic.

As it was throughout the Bush years. Whenever a terror plot was disrupted, be it Fort Dix or the Lackawanna Six as a couple of examples, the left reflexively "questioned the timing" and accused Bush and Cheney of "scaring" people. Yet now the slightest inkling of anything "anti-government" and the immediate reaction is to blame tea partiers in a lame attempt to smear and discredit them. They cannot see that there indeed are bad guys who want to do harm
and refuse to see that people voicing their honest distrust of government are not the same as them.
