Seems like only yesterday when Rush-o was saying of Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech mass murderer: "He must be a liberal."
All right. So what do we say about Mark David Uhl, the jesusmaniac who was "carefully taught" to hate (in the words of an old song) by Jerry Falwell's Liberty Baptist University?
We are told that Uhl put together "six explosive devices" -- napalm-n-nails, a nasty concoction -- in order to "stop protestors" at Falwell's funeral. Come off it. How could six bombs be used for that purpose? The explosions would kill or harm indiscriminately.
(Those much-discussed protestors turned out to be not a group of liberals, but about a dozen guys from a competing church who accused Falwell of being -- get this -- too soft on homosexuality.)
More than likely, Uhl hoped to frame liberals -- or perhaps Iranians, or Al Qaeda, or whomever. The initial news reports held that he had co-conspirators. Notice how that angle has received almost no follow-up?
Oh, and as long as we are judging maniacs by their political stripes, in which category do we place Dr. Laura's trashbag of a whelpling?

Well, looks like Christian Nationalist terrorists get treated quite differently than Muslim terrorists. See this article:

From the criminal complaint:
“He was going to set the devises off in a field and run,” the complaint said. “Uhl stated he knew it was wrong to have the Napalm and he did not want to hurt anyone.”
This complaint apparently reads like an apologia for Uhl's behavior. Aw shucks, he's a good, patriotic Christian boy what didn't mean no harm. He were just gonna blow up some anthills way over in that there field. Yeah, that's why the shrapnel.
So, if you're a good little Christian soldier, they'll believe your story, in spite of any evidence of violent intent, which in this case is the presence of shrapnel in the bombs. He's only being charged with possession of an explosive device. No terrorism here. A Muslim would have sodomized in Gitmo by now.
I think this story has trod upon a taboo, namely that under no circumstances are we ever to think that any God-and-Country evangelical zealot could do such a thing. Bad fer the movement. And Uhl is a zealot. See Blumenthal's Huffington Post piece, with links and references to Uhl's myspace rants:
