HONDO NEEDS HIS DIAPER CHANGED

Just now in 2 Way, Hondo_1887 threw a whiny temper tantrum and stormed out of the room like a petulant child. It seems that Hondo came up with the astounding idea that terrorists pay attention to and try to use the media to spread fear and ideology. Stop the presses! What an amazing revelation! Terrorists using media to spread fear? Pretty soon you'll be believing that drivrs use gasoline to make cars go, or that Republicans use lies to fool voters. Inconceivable.

In service to his theory, Hondo asked for, and received permission from avpete, to play a short Q & A from, I believe, MSNBC. So, the anchor asked the reporter if the terrorists manipulated the media and planned attacks accordingly. The reporter gave a few sentences of his answer, then said, "...there is some coordination, however..." at which point Hondo abruptly stopped the tape. What's this? That reporter was about to give some contradictory information, but Hondo cut off the tape.

I asked Hondo to play the entirety of the tape, but he ignored me. Pretty soon, the room was clamoring in text to hear the whole tape. avpete dotted Hondo and asked him politely to play the portion of the tape after the, "However..." When Hondo retook the mic, he was livid. You could hear the quaver in his voice as he rhetorically stomped his feet at the outrage and injustice of it all. He was sniffling back tears as he pouted in impotent rage. Then, as we laughed, he left the room in a huff.

Hondo began his time in the room telling us that his political opponents are actually all plants and spies working for the terrorists. That's right, we're not really Americans who think this president and his party are a bunch of corrupt liars who are hurting this nation. No, in Hondo's diseased mind, we are all a shadowy cabal bent on undermining America. And nothing stands between the US and total destruction except for SuperHondo and his Wingnut Power Pals. Who knew that it would be so easy to hurt his wittle feelings? If Hondo is our last line of defense against the terroist menace, we're in serious trouble.
