Did I hear correctly??

[GrantDem]

On CNN Anderson Cooper. They said the building raided was a Masonic Lodge??

[MercutioATC]

1. For anybody NOT watching CNN at this moment, feel free to look baffled.

Care to elaborate? What raid?

[MissB]

4. I assume the poster is talking about the Liberty, Florida raid on

apparent terrorists.

[MercutioATC]

5. Ahhh. I'll have to read up on that one...just have the basics.

[eleny]

2. WHAT?!

:rofl: Please, let it be true.

[AlCzervik]

3. hmm, "Radical black muslims" at a Masonic lodge?

i'm all confuzzeled now, i heard them say they busted down the door of some wharehouse but no one was there.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. From what I've heard, the Masons

have always welcomed blacks. It is not unusual to find a Masonic Lodge in a black neighborhood. Now Masonic blacks linked to terrorism, that's a new one?

[AlCzervik]

16. my worry is that the media is going start painting all black muslims

as "Radicals", it's a another group for them to demonize.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. I don't know how many

Muslim masons there are? I always thought Masons leaned more toward mainstream christianity, even though they have their own definition of what god is supposed to be.

6. And that fact is important how? n/t

[Ilsa]

8. Oh, just more of the distractions and fear tactics gone awry. eom

[salvorhardin]

10. I'm still not getting it.

Did they mistakenly raid a Masonic lodge thinking it was something else? A little help here...

[Ilsa]

15. I think the plan was to distract and strike fear in the hearts

about terrorists. But it sounds like they eff'ed up. So instead of looking like strong defenders, they look like clowns.

7. I would like to point out that while in some cultures it's

considered the height of rhetoric eloquence to structure discourse such that one's speech is a series of comments--vignettes or stories, possibly just events or facts--all relating back to a topic, and part of the story-teller's art is making the relationship obscure, intricate, and a delightful riddle for the listeners to discover ...

We do not share such a culture.

We typically value having the topic presented clearly, with comments explicitly tied back to the topic, at least in narrative prose.

[MissB]

9. Or, simply put, "Could you please assemble some context around that post?"

[Igel]

19. Topic.

Just a topic. Context is good, too.

A clue, for those tv-deprived among us.

[eleny]

11. Black Mason Muslims are plotting to use Santorum's WMD to blow up Miami

[MissB]

12. You write for The Onion, don't you?

:rofl:

[Igel]

20. Rapscallion. n/t

[MissB]

21. Thank you.

:evilgrin:

[Cleita]

13. LOL!

You're right. That has to be it.

[originalpckelly]

18. Did you know the freemasons were persecuted in Germany?

With just about everyone else, but hey thought I'd say it.
