Remember,there was a plot to blow the Space needle.
PDX is only similar in the sense that it shares a similar type of fringe Left moonbat mentality. I mean, McDermott could very well be an Oregon Congressman. But, Seattle has a bit more intellectual diversity and overall maturity... much more likely a target.
So this lawyer... this Butcher... was one of the lackies screaming about the 'unfairness' of the treatment of his clients the PDX AQ-7... one of the scum, trying to portray Ashcroft as a fascist tyrant... and the Patriot Act as hitlerian doctrine. And the local media, and the Oregonian ate it all up and spit it back out as agitprop to rile up Portland's populations of irrational, obtuse, mental midgits disguised as progressive geniuses. And they took to the streets, and they took to the web, and they spit and crapped their hate over this city for the better part of a year. And the whole time, this man, Brandon Mayfield, not only KNEW that they - his clients - were guilty, HE was plotting the next great savage act of mass murder himself.
Can we now say to the Leftist population of Portland, you are Anti-American, you are Stooges, and you are complicit with butchers!
... and you are friggin I-D-I-O-T-S!!!
Or perhaps we'll just keep on thinking it.
