I’ve got my own personal “8 signs of terror”, let’s see if DHS can learn something:

1. Repeatedly, at regularly scheduled times of the day, the individual gets down on the floor and starts babbling gibberish while facing East.

2. Thinks a towel qualifies as a hat in any situation other than when they just stepped out of the shower.

3. Always shouts “Allahu Akbar!” after scoring a “hit” at the gun range.

4. Tries to convince friends and co-workers that Israelis are really “Nazis”.

5. Thinks there is nothing wrong with washing their feet in a public restroom sink.

6. Threatens their wives or daughters with beheading for some perceived insult to their family’s honor.

7. Thinks that it is more defiling to put pork into one’s mouth than to issue death threats out of one’s mouth.

8. Owns a Cat Stevens album that came out after 1977.

With all the shootings, and science gear I have I could be a potential terrorist, because anyone who owns optical devices and firearms is dangerous.

Elway is a conservative, I'm sure he thought he was doing a community service announcement. IMHO they are using everyday Americans as to not offend anyone. However they failed, I'm offended. being PC is no way to win a war son.

Is this supposed to be some sort of joke? Charities should sue the makers of this video.

I love the long list of credits at the end, as if it’s a contenda for the Oscars. I expected to see “No actual terrorists were harmed during the making of this film.”

I wonder why the terrorist looks like Joe the Plumber instead of Mohammed.

I can assure you Elway did not intend to imply that right wing people are terrorist. Elway was going to run in place of Pete Coors for the senate as a conservative. Again, I'm sure he thought he was doing a public service announcement. It's a voice over and he probably did not see the video until it was complete so it was too late to drop out.

What the f**k is wrong with John Elway?

What the hell was he thinking, making this nonsensical and stupid video?

I wonder how many hookers DHS had to provide Elway for him to make the video. A friend of mine booked Elway for a charity event, and Elway demanded he be provided with two prostitutes in order for him to appear.

If he can read, he had to have known the script targeted the very people who are likely his biggest fans.

This is a prelude to a conservative pogrom.
[using a known conservative as a Judas goat, no less]

How many of those who idolize him will now blindly embrace this?
Was that the devious plan, all along?

We are being demonized and marginalized a la Alinksy.

I truly believe that if 0 paints us as “terrorists”, he’s betting that at least few *may* prefer to be hung as wolves instead of sheep.

ALL of this is intended to provoke dissent and division.

ALL of it.

[to the Dim lurkers...THANKS A LOT for destroying America, you ignorant, evil, bleeding heart, brain dead bastards]

That I feared but never believed that this great country would be destroyed from within proves that I have lived too long.

You know, I'm frustrated too. But that post was way beyond me.

Sorry.

I tend to see the “big picture” instead of looking at small, short term alleged anomalies.

I agree, this is not the first time a person
was used and then they found out later it was
not as told or promised.

Do they really believe most Americans are stupid enough to swallow that swill?

Oops... they already did.

Some one looking at their watch to check the time is generally not suspicious, but someone repeatly checking their watch (and perhaps writng things in a notebook) in a secure area might be. Using binoculars at the football, or birdwatching isn;t suspicious, but using them to watch power stations or military/government facilities might be. Donating to a known charity is okay, but giving money to a charity you have never heard of might not be so wise.

That’s what the video says to me. It does not say “watch the conservatives, or watch the NRA members”.

Okay, so the video makers should have used non white males (although terrorists do come in assorted colors, including white), but the thrust of the video is quite reasonable - be alert for odd behaviour.

Just my 2 cents.
