As Twitchy reported earlier, some people saw what appeared to be an ISIS flag on the “bomb” that was sent to CNN but meant for MSNBC contributor John Brennan. It was tough to see, though.
Now MSNBC’s Chris Hayes is saying that the markings were actually a sticker reading, “Git Er Done”?
So apparently the sticker on the bombs said "Git Er Done" in a faux ISIS font with silhouetted mudflap ladies? What the hell.

Is this a joke

No, apparently it’s not a joke … we think.
Yup. pic.twitter.com/fhnHKDYCfC

It's unmistakable.

OK, that was pretty clever.
I can't even tell if this is serious.

That is a string of words I honestly never thought I’d see together, let alone be coherent.

Looks like there’s a picture of John Brennan on the device as well … suggesting it wasn’t supposed to blow up in Brennan’s face. Someone decorated this thing.
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade it this has all the markings of being staged to look like something it’s not

Between the "Larry the Cable Guy" novelty sticker, the crudity of the bombs and packaging, and the repeated address misspellings, as well as the precise choice of targets for attempted assassination, the bomber has created one hell of a detailed self-profile.

It will be tough to find the two people who bought these stickers.

I would say WTF but I’ve been saying it so much it’s lost its luster and I need a new phrase.

The "bomber" should have tossed a few more right-wing cliches in there, just to make sure the kind of people who listen to you got it.
Maybe they could have included the Constitution? Or a paycheck?

We’re pretty sure Hayes isn’t kidding here. We do believe Adam Housley, though:
From fed source: “complete hoaxes” multiple wires when they only needed one. Reports of cell phones being involved was false. So no intention of harm. Now the questions. Dry run, or a false flag from the right or left trying to mess over the other side?
