SUNRISE, FL - OCTOBER 24: A member of the Broward Sheriff's Office bomb squad is seen as he investigates a suspicious package in the building where Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) has an office on October 24, 2018 in Sunrise, Florida. The Secret Service said it intercepted an explosive device sent to former President Barack Obama and a similar one that was also sent to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton. Another similar explosive device was sent to CNN's offices in New York as well as one sent to billionaire philanthropist George Soros on Monday. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) MORE LESS

The pipe bomb discovered Wednesday and addressed to former CIA director John Brennan via CNN features a parody of the ISIS flag with the words “get ‘er done,” a common right-wing meme, according to a Wednesday NBC report.

On the fake flag, the Arabic words are replaced by suggestive female silhouettes. The meme reportedly originated on a far-right parody site called World News Bureau.

  1. I can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that these MAGABombs were made by a Toadglans-loving mega-boob. How?

    Florida is spelled “Florids” on the packages; Brennan’s name is spelled “Brenan.” The most telling piece of evidence, however, is the fake ISIS flag, a longtime right-wing parody. It reads “Get 'er done.” Even the most moronic fans of Larry the Cable Guy — which is most of them — knows the correct spelling of Larry’s catchphrase is “Git 'er done.”

    Case closed.

    If there’s any justice in the world the FBI will wait to arrest this idiot at a Cockholster rally. It’d be the ultimate irony or pure poetry; one of the two.

  2. Was there ever any doubt that this was not the work of a RWNJ?

  3. We don’t know that yet. This ain’t Breitbart. Let’s not jump to conclusions.

  4. I can hear Fox News now. All of this evidence of right wing involvement is just part of the elaborate plan of the far left Democrats who are carrying out this false flag operation because the Dems need to gin up their base for the midterms. /s

  5. By the way the biggest news story yesterday was the one not covered. The stock market tanked big time.
