Suspicious! World Events Timed to Benefit Republicans
August 13th, 2008 at 9:06 am by CrankyCould it be that the violent and unpredictable nature of our world causes voters to prefer Republicans?
Might it also be possible that said world is in this state constantly?
In classic “Wag The Dog” scenario there is a neat little war brewing between American and Russian proxies, and real Russian troops, in the Caucacus Mountains on the Russian border.
It couldn’t come at a better time for the Republicans.
McCain gets to act and talk tough against the Russians, while Obama is on vacation in Hawaii, issuing “can’t we all get along statements.”
It perfectly augments Republican campaign points: Obama is not ready. He is not tough, experienced enough to deal with a dangerous world.
Let’s give points to the bedwetter, he’s right about about that. Is it our fault that visions of rainbows and lollipops dissipate at the first strong wind of geopolitical reality?
Not related, but kinda cool, eh?

Wow, just read the whole thing. That is Grade A, Coast to Coast-level, conspiracy paranoid there.

As the story develops today about the Arkansas Donk Chairman freshly aerated by an armed gunman, before all the batcrap loonies start blaming Right Wing Hate Radio, we soon discover that he was in actuality shot to death by a recently fired employee from one of his car dealerships.
Something tells me that if it was a Republican chair who owned the dealerships and fired the guy that the narrative would be that he got what he deserved throwing this poor man out to the wolves in this economy. No doubt, they’d be cheering for a more.
Damn you Capitalism! There’s got to be somebody to blame besides the person who did it.

You did not just say “freshly aerated”.

This is what happens when you watch to much Home and Garden.

That’s moonbatty. Really, could anyone believe that dog-wagging is so sophisticated as to actually orchestrate Putin and Georgia squabbles just to make the Big O look like the unqualified schlep he really is? Obviously that’s not what the writer was trying to convey, but that the very idea occurred to the writer and then they voiced it… they sure WISH it was true.
Scenario: Putin orders an all-out attack on Georgia, Georgian toops mass at the border. A Humvee drives up and Obama gets out, clears his throat, and declares that he’s there to expedite Change. Everyone clears the area just long enough for Putin to suitcase-nuke the Humvee and they continue the squabble ten miles to the east.

Don’t even try to understand LK, entering that fever swamp is a one-way trip from which few ever recover.
Sadly, Huffpo contributors are supposed to be “elite”. It’s really Democratic Underground – Celebrity edition.
