August 5th, 2008 at 11:43 amThat will get your adrenaline pumping. Glad you’re all ok, Faiz & crew. :)
August 5th, 2008 at 11:45 amShut up, Daryll. You’re such a child.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:45 amTP, glad to hear everyone is safe, but could this be a sign from God to stop mocking and persecuting his children?
Maybe God had some new commandments to share… you gotta let those bushes find their voice before you put them out, guys.

Speaking of fires and God’s purposes, why California, a State with a Republican governor, is suffering a record number of fires this year?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:50 amOne media report described a doughy bald man with glasses fleeing the scene of the fire. Does anyone know the whereabouts off Karl Rove at the time?

August 5th, 2008 at 11:50 amWas Cheney spotted nearby? Did that fire in his office ever get “solved?”

My God doesnt like Holy Wars… Something your God seems to love and enjoy.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:50 amThat’s hot.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:50 amGood one, Daryll!
Just curious, D — if a small fire at the Center for American Progress building is “a sign from God to stop mocking and persecuting his children”, then what kind of sign would it be if the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which houses White House staff, caught fire?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:50 amIt was The Atlantic: They want their Yglesias back!
This was only a warning . . .There won’t be anymore . . .
August 5th, 2008 at 11:51 amOh, my! I’m the target of a trollosphere mock-puppet!
I’m kinda flattered.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:52 amHmmm, Daryll, all the fires in edifices are God’s punishments?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:52 amIt’s either a mentally ill person, unable to control their rage or a dedicated, fervent, gun toting Bush conservative. Some days, it’s hard to tell the difference…
August 5th, 2008 at 11:52 amCould somebody toss Daryll in the microwave?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:53 amMicrowave on high for 666 seconds.
Ralph the Stupid Llama Says:
You guys need to stop smoking so much dope.
Too bad it was such a small fire. Hope the next one is huge and puts you out of business!
Somebody alert Bill O’Reilly. He is always looking for hate-filled bloggers. Oh wait…that’s only when they are Dems.

Could be, since God burned up Dick Cheney’s office earlier this year.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:53 amI don’t really think it’s worth damaging the microwave, do you?

Atheism, homosexuality, beliefs contradictive to holiness (i.e., scientology), illegal immigration, etc. Must I go on….
I really didnt know that being an illegal immigrant was a sin… Our forefathers must have been awful people.
August 5th, 2008 at 11:54 amMy apologies, I read small arms fire! Got to get reading glasses…

Sooo the inundations of “pure” States this past winter were also a God’s punishment? For Atheism, homosexuality, beliefs contradictive to holiness (i.e., scientology), illegal immigration, etc?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:54 amDaryll, you know nothing of what God wants.

– - How about a burning bush? Or burning Bush?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:56 amOh, I think I’m getting it now.
A fire in a liberal building is a “sign”.
A fire in a building that houses BushCo is a “test”.
How do you tell the difference if you see a building on fire but you don’t know the political ideology of the occupant, Daryll?
August 5th, 2008 at 11:56 amDaryll Says:
Not a sign, it would be considered a test. God watches out for his children. You may have a few in the American Progress building, if any.

So you’re asserting that the Center’s workers must make children at the Center’s offices???
August 5th, 2008 at 11:57 amDaryll, if Jesus tells you something and you trumpet it to the world and it later turns out to be false, is that a “sign” or a “test”?
Say, for example, if Jesus told you, “Go ahead, start calling him “President-elect Huckabee”. It’s in the bag”?

Stealing (Social Security Numbers), infiltrating onto sovereign land and lying to others (ICE).

I wonder how many “real” americans are descendants of “illegal” inmigrants. Bet no one over the fourth generation can attest that ALL his ancestors were “legal”.

Stealing (Social Security Numbers), infiltrating onto sovereign land and lying to others (ICE).
Ironic that our country was founded on such basis. Yet now we must punish people for what the founding fathers did. Building a Casino for the people whose land and people were raped DOESNT make up for anything, So why should we be treated any differently? Did your father or grandfather not come over to this country illegally? No, you were just sent here by God.

If the person inside is on fire and laughing insanely, you know it’s Dick Cheney.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:00 pmRalphie’s got a sockie! Ralphie’s got a sockie!
Gee, Ralph, I’m kinda jealous…I wanna sockie too!!!

August 5th, 2008 at 12:02 pm…And that means it’s a sign, right? — No — a test!
Dammit, I’m gonna need a ruling on this… DARYLL!!!
August 5th, 2008 at 12:03 pmProbably Daryll thinks he’s not flammable, being so pure… He’ll have a bad surprise the day he lands in the first gallery of h3ll for his multiple sins, being pride one of them.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:03 pmDudes! Quit tokin in the shitter!!
August 5th, 2008 at 12:18 pmUmm, Darlyy, check to see if your bible is on fire, would you?

So do you think all the people who died in the burning Twin Towers got the message to stop mocking and persecuting God’s children?
August 5th, 2008 at 12:31 pmDaryll,
When I told you to shut up, I meant it. God is too busy deciding which circle of hell you’ll be suffering for all eternity — she doesn’t need to set stupid little fires to impress the sheep.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:31 pmI think we’re beating up on Daryll too much. He seems to be turning into a hit-and-run troll.
Sad. He had so much more potential than that.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:37 pm… maybe I should stop bringing up the “President-elect Huckabee” thing. It seems to drive Daryll away.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:38 pmWell, I only hope that Cafe Mozart was unharmed in the incident. That place is awesome.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:41 pmRalph,
You know Daryll must be very disappointed in his God for lying to him like that.
*sad face*
August 5th, 2008 at 12:42 pmHey Daryll remember when Cheney had an office fire?
August 5th, 2008 at 12:43 pmDaryll Says:

Since the Gov mansion in Austn Texas burned, is that a sign that Rick Perry is doing something against God too? He is Republican. Or maybe its revenge against Bush because Bush was Gov before Perry.
Or maybe you are just a fool Daryll….
August 5th, 2008 at 12:48 pmGlad all is well TP…Funny post’s Lady Z and all…..Blessings
August 5th, 2008 at 12:49 pmDaryll, Are all re-pukes as pure in your beliefs as you when it come religion and politics? Why are they such hypocrites and your not?I don`t understand where god plays a role in everything to you,you must be old school old testament,my belief is that god is a good god and doesn`t punish people until they have passed this world and that my is my own personal feelings.The people on the right that you support are hypocrites of religion and politics and are in the process of smearing Obama and yet you support these people so that makes you a hypocrite or not?Does god want cheaters and haters to do this in his name or not? just asking.
August 5th, 2008 at 12:54 pmTP, any files rifled in the process? :-)
August 5th, 2008 at 1:34 pmDaryll reminded me of a joke I heard about flying. It’s one thing if it’s your time to go, but, what if it’s the guy next to you whose time is up?
August 5th, 2008 at 1:51 pmWhat is it called when a troll gets banned 8-10 times?
Is that karma as well…?
August 5th, 2008 at 2:09 pmI agree with that assessment, Dr Matt. :)
August 5th, 2008 at 2:13 pmIt must be a horrible thing to wonder through life with all those evil thought’s ratteling around in a troll’s head….Sad to read, really….Maybe more kool aid would help..Blessings
August 5th, 2008 at 2:25 pmHopefully the damage was minimal. Glad everyone is OK.
August 5th, 2008 at 2:29 pmKeep up the good work.

August 5th, 2008 at 3:52 pmReciprocally blame Fred Phelps!
August 5th, 2008 at 4:09 pmI stop reading comments when Daryll posts more than a couple times.
It just turns into a stupid contest of who’s more stupid.
Please don’t feed the trolls, TP regulars! It makes me more depressed than I already am, given the dismal state of the union thanks to our current administration (or mis-administration).
Thanks.
August 5th, 2008 at 7:40 pmFire?! Ack.
I’m glad you’re all alright and back online.
I certainly don’t know what my newsday as a blogger would be like without you guys’ juicy little tidbits to gnaw on.
Quite scare though. *pokes all the ThinkProgress haters who decided to show up in this thread of all threads, in the eye*
