This guy’s a nut, but no nuttier than our liberals. If the September 11 attacks hadn’t happened, his response would make perfect sense. But they did, and so he’s a nut.
A Swedish man accused of falsely telling U.S. authorities that his son-in-law had links to al-Qaida has been charged with defamation, a newspaper reported Friday.
The false warning spoiled a business trip to the U.S. for the man’s son-in-law, who was stopped at a Florida airport and questioned for 11 hours before being sent back on a plane to Sweden, the Sydsvenska Dagbladet daily reported.
U.S. authorities apparently reacted to an e-mail sent to the FBI saying the man “likely has links to the Muslim terror organization al-Qaida’s network in Sweden,” the newspaper reported.
The 52-year-old father-in-law admitted to having sent the e-mail after it was traced to his home computer, the paper said. He reportedly told police he sent the e-mail in anger after a dispute with his son-in-law, who was divorcing his daughter.
The man said he did not expect such a “paranoid reaction” from U.S. authorities, Sydsvenska Dagbladet reported.
Honestly, where do all these people come from? Do they have incredibly short memories or did they just never give a rat’s ass?
There’s more to this worldwide phenomenon raising the hair in the back of my neck…other than it being horribly offensive. I’m just wondering about the future conversation with my grandkids…
“Grandpa, when did all that ‘global warming hysteria’ you were talking about take place?”
“Oh, I would say it peaked around aught six and petered out around aught eight or nine…got started in two or three.”
“And people were a lot more worried about that than anything else?”
“Yup. Kids of your generation were supposed to be peeved at grownups from my generation for daring to continue generating power, going to work, cooking meat outdoors, and generally living life. It was the biggest political issue of that decade by far.”
“Uh…I thought you said the September 11 attacks occurred in oh one. How did people go from that, in the space of a year or two, to worrying about something that never even killed anybody?”
“You know…you come up with an answer to that one, let me know.”
Really, some of the things my grandmother and uncles told me that made so little sense at the time, I’m seeing now in an entirely different light. That fool swede should be one isolated kookburger. But he represents the majority, from what I can figure. Worry about the gobular wormening ManBearPig, which has yet to hurt anyone, but pretend the September 11 attacks never took place. You exist in any other era, and not only will this perspective cease to make any sense, but you’ll be just incredulous at just how foolish we are overall in this generation. We’ve really lost all meaningful hold on reality.
