Fort Dix Plot: Right Wing Cheers, Left Wing Jeers
The right wingers are rightly cheering law enforcement and the anonymous clerk for bringing this plot down. Had it taken even one life, it would be too many.
If you peruse the right wing blogs the details and congratulations to law enforcement are universal.
But on the left….I wouldn't say the lefties are as mean spirited as they are about Cheney and Bush, but the general attitude is either a yawn, or some minimizing of the plot to make it no big deal.
Take Wonkette:
Ok. So, the plot was: six dudes from New Jersey buy some guns and storm Fort Dix. The Fort Dix that is full of lots and lots of Army reservists with way, way more guns. And, like, extensive military training and s**t. Yes, thank god these terrorists have been caught and locked up before they could be killed within minutes of deciding to carry out the dumbest f***ing terrorist plot we’ve ever heard of.
