Shoot Arabs first

Freepers overreaction to the recent shoe-bombing-joke incident surprised even me. Making an ill-conceived joke and smoking on an airplane? Well, if you're Muslim, that means you should die:

FlyingEagle has a measured response:

Oh, a massive misunderstanding - well ok then.

The terrorist should be immediately blindfolded, shot on the tarmac, and buried in a pig carcass, on the spot. (General Jack Black Pershing - style)

That should put an end to misunderstandings.

Oceander is sure this is a conspiracy:

This was a dry run, to test out our defenses after the Detroit bomber. Apparently it was a success, as this guy was, in fact, able to smoke a cigarette in the lavatory without being molested (he was only caught as he exited the lavatory). That means that he was able to carry on a pack of cigarettes (not a big deal in and of itself, nonetheless ...) as well as matches and/or a lighter (either one IS a big deal), and was able to light up, smoke the cigarette, and extinguish it, all without getting caught.

TheThinker:

What a joke we’ve become as a nation and as a people.

No doubt. We are to blame for this sad state of affairs because we have become cowardly as a nation. That is the whole reason that BO is in the WH.

Well, I agree with ya up to fear got Obama elected. it is that detail that makes me think that you mean something completely different by "sad state of affairs." And fear. Really, it's like he's speaking a different language entirely.

devolve s sure Obama will ruin this international incident somehow. Also,l he seems to be signaling something:

Hussein Junior will ignore it

Maybe he get the 2 Air Marshalls on board United Flight 633 fired

I really worry about Hussy Junior’s future and health

And about Mars

Mars is something I am deeply concerned about

Yeah, your clever!

NavyCanDo:

Misunderstanding my A##

He says he is lighting his shoes. At that point he is an insane maniac at best, a terrorist at worst. It don't matter if there is explosives in them or not. The threat is real.

The threat is real, even if there is no explosives? What the fuck?

MichiganConservative has a solution:

This is just another example of what I’ve been saying since 9/11. ARM THE PASSENGERS!

These Freepers. Armed. On an ariplane with some dude with olive colored skin. Sure to end well.
