A Wingnut Terrorist Threatens Washington D.C.

At this moment, a wingnut traitor from the homeland of Helms and Liddy Dole is threatening to kill Americans:

A North Carolina tobacco farmer angry with the government forced the closing of a portion of federal Washington yesterday, extending his siege at the Mall for a second day by continuing to insist that he had explosives.

Dwight W. Watson, who kept scores of law enforcement agents at bay, said in a midday telephone interview that his goal was to deliver a message to the American public about the plight of farmers or "die trying."

In a second interview last evening, Watson said that he did not want to hurt anyone and that he told police negotiators he would surrender peacefully tomorrow if they "treat me with respect."

But in both conversations, Watson referred to other highly publicized confrontations with federal authorities that ended in death, including the incidents in Waco, Tex., and Ruby Ridge, Idaho. "If they jerk my chain, I'll fight back," he said....

"I will not surrender," Watson said early yesterday afternoon, adding that he had plenty of food and water, as well as a toughness and stamina dating to his days in the Army. "They can blow my ass out of the water. I'm ready to go to Heaven."....

"They're not going to call my daddy a liar," he said. "This is supposed to be the city of liberty and justice for all, but that's a bunch of bull."....

Asked why he decided to protest this week, Watson said: "I just played it by ear. The Lord told me to do it. He said, 'Time is running out, Jack.' "

How many of the wingnut commentators who found the religion of the accused Beltway Sniper so significant will write similiar columns about this man's faith and hatred of America? And how many will compare this man's views to the bile on display daily at Free Republic.com and Lucianne.com?

Not surprisingly, the Moonie Times article on this fanatic contains no reference to Mr. Watson's religious beliefs or right-wing political views.
