Oh, hey, health care reform, remember that? Remember pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak, who only voted for the House version of the bill after he got an amendement added banning federal funding for abortions (which was already banned), and then refused to vote for the final version until the president issued an executive order banning federal funding for abortions (which was already banned), then announced he wasn’t running for re-election because everybody hates him now, for allowing federal funds to spent on abortions? Well, the FBI just arrested an elderly father-son team who threatened to “paint” a bridge with the blood of the entire Stupak family, as a symbolic representation of the all the precious fetuses Stupak personally killed, and also of their hatred of him.
Russell Hesch, 73, and David Hesch, 50, were taken into custody because they wrote a threatening letter to an elected official, which is illegal. Their court-appointed attorney (ha ha, they are poor) says his clients are “absolutely not guilty,” which is less guilty than “not guilty” but guiltier than “100 percent not guilty.” Normally if we link to an AP story we wouldn’t link to the version on Fox News, but that would deny us the chance to take a look at the important, thoughtful things Fox News commenters have to say about this story, which involves people threatening to dismember an elected official!
When will America begin to bomb Sweden, because of their sinister curses? [Fox]

Does a “Swedish Curse” somehow involve tainted meatballs and/or being forced to listen to a Garrison Keillor monologe? If so, then count me out.
“They sound like citizens that are ticked off, (not terrorists).”
But (if their), skin was brown!??! and they; were muslins – than they wood be terrists!!!1!
He is referring to the legendary unreleased Abba album, no?
So they’re against federal highway money, but go ahead and paint a bridge with the Democrats’ blood?
Now I see where all this reduced government spending is coming from.
“Derpy derpy der, um bork bork bork!” Be careful with this curse, it is mad powerful.
The FBI is totally overreacting. what if these two just wanted to draw a small amount of Stupak family blood, then go to Home Depot and get it color-matched for their art project?
[re=594121]bored with gravity[/re]:
No,a Swedish Curse involved flat packed furniture and an allen wrench.
I hope in this case the Swedish Curse is socialism. Let’s teach the Hesch family a lesson by guaranteeing them a minimum standard of living….oh wait…
Swedish curse = lutefisk.
Definitely a federal crime.
i will not sit on a jury involving conspiracy or intent unless it has something to do with islam, in which case i will vote to revoke everyone’s citizenship but my own.
Well of course they weren’t terrorists and should be let go; I mean, it’s not like any violent anti-abortion fanatics have ever killed anybody.
How long until “swedish curse” shows up on Urban Dictionary as an unspeakable sex act? I’m counting on you, wonketteers (my creativity is shot for the day).
Also, how much do we want to bet “conspiracy theories are equivalent to the thought police” guy also thinks Obama is Kenyan? I’ll put $10 in.
[re=594138]Terry[/re]: The nice thing about the Swedish Curse is it’ll fall apart in a few months, so usually you can just ride it out.
A “Swedish curse” might be a never ending stream of Bergman films with no English subtitles. Or maybe that’s Swedish torture. I get so confused.
Some Swedes curse in accordance with Swedish law, some don’t. The ones who don’t get fired: http://www.thelocal.se/15760/20081118/
this year’s bridge to nowhere.
Bah, a man is presumed innocent until proven broke.
A Swedish curse is one you have to assemble yourself and then instructions are all in pictures.
“Swedish Curse.” Is that like giving someone a Saab after its warranty has run out?
[re=594138]Terry[/re]: Ha, ha-ha!
[re=594144]fictional character[/re]: Now, I’m sure that mkeblues from Wisconsin is totally consistent, and would not convict say all those groups of wanna-be Muslim terrorists whose arrests were trumpeted during the Bush years, only to find that none had any actual equipment or ability to commit any serious terrorist acts and had been pushed by FBI undercover informants towards acts of chargeable conspiracy.
[re=594143]Mahousu[/re]: Swedish curse = lutefisk.
“Let me get this staight: I soak the fish in water for four days, changing the water every day. Then I put the fish in water mixed with lye, but I can’t leave it in too long because after the proteins are jellied the fat starts turning into soap, literally soap, then I have to soak it in water four more days to get the lye out. Then I eat it?”
Reminds of the old pheasant recipe: “then you throw away the pheasant and eat the brick”.
And I believe Garrison would be a Norwegian curse.
The color of the blood must be lightened! It would look way too dark to be acceptable on a public structure.
Swedish Curse: “May you turn into a Dane.”
[re=594170]LittlePig[/re]: Actually, wit de lutefisk, you haff to bang it on a pine board, trow de fish avai an eat da board, jah. We originated dat yoke!
Obviously killing Stoop-fuck is what God wants. Take out the spilling of blood for the loving, merciful God from the Bible, and your left with a few magic tricks a la Siegried and Roy.
[re=594138]Terry[/re]: An Allen wrench which fits seven of eight screws on the piece of furniture but, mysteriously, not the eighth- the eighth screw remains elusive as NO allen wrench fits it, even after you run into Lowe’s five minutes before close and buy a whole set of 10 allen wrenches.
Unless he has a family the size of the Von Trapps, I doubt they will have enough blood to paint an entire bridge.
Commenter “deportliberals” noticed the hidden agenda in this story that we all missed. Lazy authorities have no problem taking time out of their busy schedule to prosecute the “threateners” when they should be doing their real job and deporting illegals. Deportation: the solution to everything!
[re=594153]NJB[/re]: Sasha Grey is aroused.
These are the people that half-assed Democrats like Stupak are pandering to.
Speaking of the Swedish Curse, all I have to say is: “Vad fan gör du din jävla ärthjärna?” That’s Swedish for “What the fuck are you doing, you fucking dickhead?” More ways to get your ass beat in Stockholm here: http://curseinswedish.110mb.com/
[re=594121]bored with gravity[/re]: Everybody knows that Lake Wobegon is populated by Norwegians. Or everybody who blows their Saturday night listening to that moldy crap.
A Swedish curse is a 35 year old Volvo that will not die.
[re=594149]Mad Brahms[/re]: [re=594161]Cape Clod[/re]: [re=594170]LittlePig[/re]: It shouldn’t be too hard to come up with an unspeakably filthy sex act involving lutefisk and performed in the backseat of a Saab with an expired warranty.
I left out the Ikea stuff, because regardless of what you may think of its quality, that shit is super easy to assemble. So, not much of a curse.
perhaps that fox new jersey person is thinking of alfred nobel?
I’m pretty sure the Swedish Curse is what lost the Stanley Cup for Detroit’s Red Wings in game 7 last year.
[re=594208]peanutbutterjellytime[/re]: Have to read the comments, but I will be willing to bet that at least a few will claim that this is the fault of the Libruls “fanning the flames of violence” and “not listening to the will of the Merikan people”.
The Swedish Curse is an STD common only to Lapps, Eskimos and other Arctic denizens. Basically, it’s frostbite of the balls.
[re=594144]fictional character[/re]: You could tell, couldn’t you?
Actually, I believe the real Swedish Curse is rampant hardcore alcoholism; so it’s actually the yahoos who planned to go after Stupak that are likely to have it.
[re=594122]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: NEEDS”, MOAR;”, (MISPLACED) PUNCTUATION!!!!,.
[re=594213]Long Form Def Certificate[/re]: How can you tell?
[re=594138]Terry[/re]: [re=594203]Redhead[/re]: What’s an alien wrench and is it part of the toolkit of your average non’murcan terrist?
Swedish curse: Elin Woods on a bad day?
Good gawd, Yanks!
I read the letter these nutters sent to Stupak, and I wonder if I should ever visit your country again!
BTW – shouldn’t the phrase ‘Pro-Life” be retired in favour of the more accurate phrase “Pro-State-Mandated Pregnancy” or maybe “Anti-Reproductive Privacy”? Just sayin…
[re=594686]Bearbloke[/re]: Or maybe just “Fro-Forced Pregnancy”. Anyway, I hope Mr. Stupak has learned something about trying to appease this crowd.
There is a fine line between passionate wingnut invectives and Wonkette commenter’s humor, sometimes.
