When ACORN founder Wayne Rathke found out that the FBI had foiled a plot to murder delegates to the 2008 Republican convention, he was disappointed that the plot had been foiled by an informant.

On his blog, Rathke wrote that it's "one thing to disagree, but it’s a whole different thing to rat on folks.”

Every time I think these people are nuts, somebody comes along and shows me that crazy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Criminals aren’t known for having much in the conscience area...

Another one I wish would smoke some bad doobie and wander into an electrical vault. He can take Ayers with him.

Basically what it says. A 23 year old Michigan man was caught with homeade bombs near the site of the 2008 GOP convention.

Another woman was later charged with threatening to kill an informant in the case.

I was one of those "delegates" and I remember getting the details of the "death threat" and potential threatened kidnapping.

One day our entire schedule had to change, moving time and event as well as canceling another event to head off to the Convention Center many hours earlier, missing dinner, in order to throw off the our planned drive, park in a totally different spot, forcing us to walk for quite some time to enter through a totally different entrance.

All of these plans were put into effect by the FBI requiring lots of manholes, around the clock I'm sure.

We did have some injuries as well as quite a scare by one of the buses being "bricked" as well as attempts to turn it over while stopped at a light.

Really nice to learn that Radke, SEIU and those fun lovin' kids at ACORN were just having a bit of fun--violence and death threats not withstanding.
