Pouting Baby doesn't understand Preacher Jones (photo courtesy of Jim White)
Pouting Baby is talking to us again. – JW
Preacher Jones sure has been talking a lot the last few days. First he told everyone how he was going to play with matches and burn some pretty books. He said we would still do that even when lots of people said it would make them really sad or really mad. Why is Preacher Jones mad at the people who like a book different from the book he likes? Why does he want to make them mad and sad?
Maybe Preacher Jones should have listened more to the other preachers who live close to him. They have nice things to say and Preacher Jones only seems to say mean things.
Did Preacher Jones say he wouldn’t play with matches earlier today because he found out he would have to pay the police who were going to keep people safe while he was using the matches?
But what I really don’t understand is why Preacher Jones would get money from the bank for his church’s building and then just a few days later be able to buy a bunch of houses for himself? Did Preacher Jones use the money from the church building to buy houses?
Now Preacher Jones is saying he just might play with matches anyway. It sure looks like Preacher Jones wants people to talk about Preacher Jones instead of the nice man in the book Preacher Jones says he likes.

Pouting Baby!
Wah!
pouting baby knows its not safe to play with matches
I’m about as liberal as we get, but I think this guy should be arrested if he goes through with this. One jerk should not be allowed to put the whole world on alert. At all. If you can’t cry fire in a crowded theater, you certainly can’t cry fire in a Islamifobia.
Angry Mom would never allow that!
It’s going to be a lot cleaner and easier just to get him on the fraud if he really did mortgage church property to get funds for down payments on a lot of property in his own name.
Pouty baby wants to piss all over Rev. Jones fire and inflammatory rhetoric. Stupid grandstanding publicity hounds make pouty baby pout.
A couple of things I have seen indicate that he may have a bit of a shady past.
Any former scout will tell you pissing on fires is a bad idea…
Not unless you have been drinking too much ‘shine.
It was rather amusing to see all the Lame Stream media pukes scrambling all over themselves to confirm Jones’ ridiculous claim that the Park 51 imam agreed to move the site, to halt the burning…!
Aloha!
Yep. They was had by a simple grifter.
maybe that’s the book burner’s problem…. too much ‘shine…. or not enough to make him forget the frauds in his past
Though if you’re drunk enough you can usually do it unscathed.
Spouse and I once had the experience of camping next to a group of people whose party was just starting to wind down when an alleged buddy of theirs showed up (“Shit! I thought he was still in jail!”), then threw his shirt on the fire, then took ten minutes to put out the fire. All by himself. No hands. He must have had a 16-gallon keg for a bladder.
The ranting of one whackjob extremist can be heard by a whole bunch of other whackjob extremists…
..and those whackjob extremists tell their whatjob extremists friends…
…and so on…
…and so on…
…and at the end of the day some idiot congressman from South Carolina calling for a boycott on French toast, there’s a fatwa on a comic strip character, and Denmark’s flag is being burned across half the planet.
Plus, with the PoutingBaby™’s obvious ‘impediment’, the trajectory is kind of screwed up.
Yeah, but the smell is pretty overpowering.
You know, this whole thing is really just an absurd media driven circus, which of course gives the whacked out Rev. exactly the attention he craves. They used to do this kind of thing back in the 60s and 70s. Some whackaloon fundamentalist congregation or the local Bircher chapter make a big deal about burning records or books. Back then though the media just made fun of them.
Gas main 24″ exploded in San Bruno/South SF… Sneath lane & Skyline area … 45 or so homes destroyed and still growing.. horrible..
Hey, my comment was all about the smell, as I said in 17.
O no!
Crap. That sounds awful. Used to drive past that area all the time.
Jeebus!

It was hard to tell, what with the burning shirt on the fire as well.
Thanks Suz I am watching it live.. The flames were 60+ feet in the air when they first broke in with this… sure looks awful live…Oakland all over in 91. One witness reported bringing a lady to the hospital with a broken arm and third degree burns … this sucks…
Pouting baby say: Best not to play with matches when you’ve doused yourself with the gasoline of lies.
Make Jones a drone controller so he can burn not only Korans but Muslims too. That’s what real men do.
cnn is showing it for those not in the sf bay area
Very good point.
There’s a bit of a little cultural overlooking going on about this whole Q’uran burning thing.
שנה טובה : Shana Tova! Happy New Year!
Starts tonight.
For the reading on the Sabbath, Shabos, Saturday the Haazinu is proscribed:
American so-called Christians, burning the Q’uran, on the Jewish Shabos with that particular proscribed reading seems like a really REALLY bad idea to me.
No, it seems like a total fucking Abrahamic disasterbeyondrepair to me.
Thanks for that. And don’t forget that Ramadan ends tomorrow. The timing just couldn’t be worse all the way around.
Not to mention that Eid Al-Fitr is tomorrow.
Looks like I owe you the frosty beverage of your choice.
Aww, DANG I knew it was the same lunar month thing, and was forgetting something.
Pissing on electric fences is bad too, or so I’ve been told.
An Anchor Steam would be great.
I’ve heard that. Sounds painful.
Sliding to the bar to yah!
A shocking experience, I hear.
I suspect few have made the mistake more than once.
The people who should be arrested are the lazy “news” producers at our wonderful cable universe. The non-stop coverage of this one lunatic is what will endanger our troops and inflame the Muslim world, not anything some crazy preacher at a 50-person church in central florida might do.
As the Phelps Haters™ said today, “Hey, WE burned a Quran two whole years ago, where were you with the satellite trucks THEN, huh?”
Thanks, PB, for your usual probing insight. Have a binkie, on me…
Looks like a very bad one, I hope they get it under control soon and that casualties are low.
That’s what annoys me about this. This kind of grandstanding by fundie whackaloons is nothing new, but in the past the media treated them as a joke instead of taking them seriously.
May take a while. Houses very close together in that area. Used to live not far from there.
Thanks, Teddy. Binkies always help get over the pout.
It really is tough to give this guy such attention. But since this is playing out right where I live, I feel I have to keep an eye on things. It will be very interesting to see if the mortgage issue gets analyzed in greater detail.
Just one day, I’d like to sit every cable channels’ producers down with David Dayen’s excellent roundup — or Jim White’s research on HatePreacher’s shady real estate — and say, HERE, assholes, this is how it’s done. Give it a try, just for a day.
YOUR work has been phenomenal, including your coverage of the other faith leaders’ response in the area. The national Legacy Media, on the other hand, have been awful, especially today’s chase of Park51 claims. It’s absurd.
It does send a dangerous signal to every half-baked crackpot zealot feeling starved for attention. Too bad we can’t prohibit the media from feeding his ego but that pesky First Amendment gets in the way. The same one that allows religious book burning and Islamic cultural center building… theoretically.
Might as well go ahead and rename this country The FUBAR Republic.
Any risk of it starting a wildfire, assuming it hasn’t already?
i worry that it is their job to not do their job
CNN did finally catch with Larry Reimer today, Pastor at United Church of Gainesville and the originator of “If they can burn it, we can read it”.
35-45 homes on fire, per local news station online.
I’ve shopped in that store!
It’s great – nothing fits, you can’t return anything, sales people don’t care. It’s perfect for buying pants!
Time for me to toddle off. Shana Tova & Eid Mubarak to all and may the Flying Spaghetti Monster save us from religious whackaloons and extremists.
No woods nearby but lots of trees around homes. They have evacuated many homes around the area and have set up a place for people to go at the Rec Center. Some apparently in critical condition.
g’nite dr dick
Thanks for great conversation, folks, but it’s time for me head to bed.
Sending positive thoughts for the people in the Skyline Drive/San Bruno area.
Goodnight.
g’nite jim
I’m out too. Belch needs some attention – I’ve been bad to him this week with work and such. Ta-ta.
g’nite kelly
Thanks for the tip. I’ll file that one in case I start wearing pants. :)

Niters DrDick, Kelly, and anyone I might have missed.
Think I’m out too. Thanks to Jim aka Pouting Baby. Splendid evening to all.

*FACEPALM*
Mr. White, with his financials in a wreck of a disorder, I have NO clue what’s driving this stupid fuck anymore than I understand a ten second spew from any member of Phelps/Westboro et al.
This dude’s all but put away . . . and he keeps coming back more times than a bad Rocky Sequel.
More times than a bad Halloween Sequel.
More times than a bad Chainsaw Massacre (sp deliberate thanks Arlo Guthrie)(.
More times than . . .
Why is this guy STILL in my computer, on my tv, and in my radio?
Why?
He’s GOT to have physical problems, medical issues, he’s a fucking loon.
Won’t his meds or lack of, take him from us so we can honor his passing in a private and sincere way?
SOMEONE INDICT THE FUCKER AND GET IT OVER WITH!
What, he knows Blago? Bad hair AND bad ‘stache?
It’s a wonder his congregation or his wives haven’t done him in by now.
What, NO Shit Doc!
Germany? Wives? Slave labor?
NO!
Glad to see yer still well read, despite the beginning of yet another semester of corrupting young minds.
I shirley hope you use THIS one in one of your classes.
Stupid Current Events 101, perhaps, for the incoming frosh?
*G*
Hmm, depends, are you up wind or down wind, what IS the velocity of the wind, and how close to said fire ARE ya.
Not to mention, what’s the likker content of yer pee.
*G*
OT… interesting stuff here…..
‘Secrecy and greed are polluting the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the nation’s first mandatory cap-and-trade system. Under the RGGI scheme, the smell of profiteering is powerful. New Jersey and nine other Northeast states have sold $662 million in carbon dioxide permits since 2008.
The bidders at RGGI auctions include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase and other Wall Street heavyweights. They hope to make big money by speculating on the price of permits, called allowances. Electric power plants are required to obtain an allowance for each ton of CO-2 they emit.
But exactly who is buying what at these auctions? How much of the carbon market have they cornered? What effect will the wheeling and dealing have on the electricity bills paid by consumers?
That’s none of our business, according to the bureaucrats in charge. They denied New Jersey Watchdog’s Open Public Records Act requests for auction details, contending the bidders’ “expectation of privacy” and “trade secrets” outweigh the public right to know.’

Palin set the bar, how much lower will any of them idjits have to dig below sea level to get under her?
And yet, that bar moves lower and lower, every time.
Sigh.
I wanna be a grifter.
Easy hours, good money.
Talk stupid.
I need a better ‘stache though.
Bet I can buy one or get a sponsor to have one installed.
A good wind usually dissipates that, rather quickly.
Or so I’ve heard.
I’ve never been camping, backpacking, or peed on a fire, myself.
My brother heard this rumor, for what it’s worth:
Will be checking for confirmation.
holy moly eg — oh please oh please oh please let there be a connection that shows rushbo is fueling the rev’s fire
REALLY!!
Wow! Just wow.
Wiki has Rush graduating from Cape Central in 1969. Need to find where Terry Jones went to school.
[usual caveats about wiki accuracy]
Hi, y’all. Reading the thread – went searching the teevee “24-hr news channels” for live coverage of the disaster near SF – just proved that not one of them is really a “news” channel. Not a single one, MSNBC, CNN, HLN, FOX, nor even ABC which happens to have Nightline on (is it live?) has a thing about it. All continuing with their usual shows, even the repeats like Tweety and Larry King.
Sigh. All about the entertainment. No real news at all. The NYT website does have it, with photo. What will we do when the Times finally gives up?
Oh, credit where due – ABC just put up an “update” on the fire, so I presume they had covered it earlier.
SF Gate saying only 25 homes gone.
But still, it’s amazing no one died in the initial blast.
300 foot fireball, winds whipping up the flames to torch houses.
Circumstances still a bit unclear from Nahant’s initial report.
SF Gate
Skyline Blvd And Sneath Lane, just west of Hw 280.
I used to know a few families on Sneath Lane, albeit a few blocks west to the bay from Skyline Blvd.
This was long ago in the 70′s. Nice houses up there. $1 mil price tags now, easily. Then, $50K or so to buy into.
Snuffed out, 25+ homes. An explosion that rocked the region, and no one killed?
And my old stomping grounds. Too much to sniffle about.
Damn.
Doesn’t Olbermann call Rush a college dropout? Or is that Beck?
Here. Hard to tell whether site is reputable or bogus. Could be a lot of made-up stuff.
Bless the fasted fangers in the intertubbz.
*G*
Jones, like Rush, is from Cape Girardeau, MO. Jones is 58 which could be a graduating year of 1969, although in our district he’d be a year behind. That’s all I have at this point, except a blurb about the church’s school and their little slave students:

Try this link but they seem to be busy… http://abclocal.go.com or this one: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/livenow?id=7659504
Holy F***!
1 dead after large explosion and fire in San Bruno
You really are the fastest fingers, aren’t you?
nahant, how close to all this fire are you?
just trying to help out… tis frustrating being out of state…. i used to drive by this area frequently on the 280 freeway
evening, firegods
Well nitey nite pups.. I sure hope this gas fire ends as well as possible for our neighbors..
nahant is in redwood city — about 10 miles south of sfo…. the fire is in san bruno near the 280 freeway about 3 miles due west of sfo per the news reports
g’nite nahant
big fire, Suz?
Thanks. I was a little worried he was seeing it from his window a block away or something.
Have been looking at the pix at the abc link – amazing how quickly so many houses are completely burnt down. The photos of planes flying over and dropping retardant on houses..astonishing.
Think I’ll depart for the night, too. Be safe, everyone.
Jim White at Seminal has been all over this today.
He’s the lead Pup.
You need to check him out.
*G*
A lady is quoted as saying she watched the ground catch fire, in a straight line. That sounds like a gas main to me.
Yep, me too for a variety of reasons, over a number of years.
I had a hi school gal friend on Sneath Lane, lower down, in the 70′s.
I don’t know anyone there now . . .
But I did, long ago.
Bless them all.
Yep, there’s no doubt about that.
Gas line, under pressures.
Kablooey.
Lots to be gleaned about why.
You, Kelly, and Mr. White continue to edumacate and remind me of the stuff I USED to know.
Bless the three of yas.
wacked-out rev. or sociopastor? you decide.
ya know, it’s usually pretty hot and humid in florida. innocent bystanders might want to bring lots of bottled water to the rally, and get close to the woodpile before things get too hot. i’m just sayin’….
and isn’t a book-burning on a saturday night in september just a little …. satanic?
Pouting Baby is awfully wise for one so young!
The abuse of “national security” in order to get your way is precisely what I’m against. “National security” has been abused in order to prevent freedom of information and prevent lawsuits against the government and now it is being used to prevent individuals from engaging in their own free speech. If someone wants to burn books by all means they should be able to in order to exercise their Constitional rights, just as by all means anyone who wants to oppose such an action should be able to in order to exercise their Constitional rights. I was also appalled that the Park51 head used the same “national security” line in order to try and get his way. Going down this “national security” path for civilian domestic matters is a very dangerous path to take that will only result in our rights being further eroded away.
Gail Collins of the NY Times pointed, very correctly, on the Rachel Maddow show last night that we should not forget that 5% of the people in this country are CRAZY. The good Reverend Jones should be counted in that percentage.
When did Kid Shelleen become a pastor ?
I think there is room for compromise. Maybe we set a limit on the number of Korans that are torched…say a couple hundred.
