I don’t get it. Why is everyone falling all over themselves to make excuses for these jackasses? Are there any other aspiring cop-killers you’d all like to make excuses for?
We talk about liberals providing aid and comfort to terrorists, but I guess if the terrorists claim to be Christians, we’ll go to bat for them.
I don’t care if the organization was infiltrated and it was really the feds that suggested this course of action. Anyone who hears a suggestion to kill cops and doesn’t immediately say “get the hell out of here” deserves whatever happens to them. The fact that we don’t like this president doesn’t change any of that.
There is no one here (unless someone is a troll) who says “so what if they planned to kill cops” - in fact dozens have expressed anger and disgust at that very thought.
What some here wonder is if this is really what they planned.
The facts are really unknown at this point.
Keep your eye on this guy.
Not up and up, I surmise.
the story doesn't make sense.

Why are they "jackasses"?
You answered your own question. Obama, Holder, and Napolitano would use flimsy pretext to go after the militia groups even if it is idle talk that these people were expressing a viewpoint, but really had no serious intentions to do harm. I'm not going to slime them until I see the evidence. It may be a 'he said she said' situation where the government is going to try and turn that into "intent to commit" crime.
