"Our country would be much safer with several thousand dead wackjobs in Vermont"
Vermont anti-Bush petition sparks anger By JOHN CURRAN, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jan 30, 4:20 AM ET

................

Anger at the Bush administration is hardly new in Vermont. The state Senate voted last year to support impeaching the president. Anti-war rallies are regular occurrences, and "Impeach Bush" bumper stickers are common.

The petition prompted Brent Caflisch to go to his computer in Rosemount, Minn. "Maybe the terrorists will do us all a favor and attack your town next, our country would be much safer with several thousand dead wackjobs in Vermont," he wrote.

It went on to say terrorists could kidnap the three Select Board members who voted in favor, "cut their heads off, video tape it and put it on the internet."

Caflisch, who confirmed sending the e-mail, said Tuesday he did it out of disgust after reading about the measure on The Drudge Report.

1. Sounds like terroristic threats to me.
You know damn well that if someone had said that about shrub and company, the SS and HS would have been all over them like stink on shit.

7. The first response from the right is ALWAYS hate and violence.
Why do you think only liberals get assassinated?

This morbid sick fuck needs professional help.


"Maybe the terrorists will do us all a favor and attack your town next," wrote Brent Caflisch, of Rosemount, Minn. "Our country would be much safer with several thousand dead wackjobs in Vermont. Or maybe they could just kidnap Chairwoman Audrey Garfield and board members Richard Garant and Dora Bouboulis, cut their heads off, video tape it and put it on the Internet. Now that I would like to see."

5. Mr. Caflisch likes his killing done by remote control
As long as someone else is doing the killing and the dying, he sounds like he's just fine with it. In fact, he'd like to see mass murder and mutilation on a scale of thousands. If he ever bestirs himself from his mom's basement, I foresee a very lucrative career for him in the Republican Sinecure Society, going on talk shows and chatting up his demented ravings with Joe Scarborough, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Chris Matthews will probably think he's hot.

9. More wisdom from Brent Caflisch
(Posted on something called The Anomalies Network, February 7, 2003)

Brent Caflisch: Ryan, once again some truly top notch posts! Anybody that doesnt understand what role the communists play and how truly dangerous their involvment is should read some Golytsin. After all this is basically how it started in Europe.

Anywho, I didnt come here to ruffle any feathers or anything like that, I just wanted to make a comment or two about the war protestors. First of all, why does it seem like the majority of all war protestors are really un-educated as to what is going on in the world? They just dont seem to have a firm grasp on world and current events.

I recently took place in a terrorism "town hall" meeting and I was very dismayed at how little people seemed to know about the world around them. Afterwards, the moderator thanked me for both helping to educate and for being the only one that had the opposite point of view from everyone else. I'm not sure how to classify my point of view, perhaps it was because I consider myself a conservative and everyone else seemed to be a liberal. I offered alternatives, solutions and facts to back up my arguments while others wondered why the whole world just couldnt hold hands and get along. I'm not making this up either. And some of these people are what you would consider pillars of society. One was a judge, another a well known lawyer in town, another was a retired building contracter.

The only other comment I wanted to make is why are kids allowed to protest? They are not old enough to vote. Not to sound mean or anything like that, but a 14 year old kid's opinion about war with Iraq doesnt mean jack to me. The reason I say this is because a few weeks ago during a protest in Minneapolis, the local news actually interviewed a teenager. This kid was so un-educated about the world and what was going on, I wondered what redeeming quality there was in putting this kid on tv.

In closing I would just like to say, if you are not for war then you should stand for something. Simply saying we shouldnt bomb a country isnt good enough. Come up with viable alternatives.

It's funny how, five years later, we see that the war protestors were right and that it was actually the flag-waving, pro-war zealots like Brent who were "really un-educated as to what is going on in the world".

There is one thing I agree with Brent about. It is obviously inappropriate to use children to promote a cause that they aren't old enough to understand. Right-wingers would never do that!

10. Coz that's what America stands for; hiring terrorists to
"cut their heads off, video tape it and put it on the internet." But we're the good terrorists so it's ok when we do it!

USA! USA! USA!
