(1,245 posts)I heard somewhere there's now Newtown 'Truthers' (lol at them copying the 9/11 skeptics nomenclature). Think it might've been a clip from Alex Jones website I saw on DU the other day.
I say there's NO DOUBT that by tomorrow AM if one were to go to Freeptardville there will be some heavily trafficked thread full of wingnut gun fetishists promulgating this EXACT conspiracy theory ... Obama 'had her whacked'.
I imagine the office shooting that happened a couple miles away from my office in Phoenix this afternoon will be the source of similar rantings ... in fact, in these people's minds, EVERY GUN CRIME that happens from now on will be Obama having people killed to help him pass the American 100% Gun Confiscation Act that they just KNOW he's working on. And that's, of course, so that he eventually can ship all the right-wing 'patriots' to the FEMA camps without a fight and turn America into a Communist Muslim paradise.
Not that a lot of us didn't do the exact same type of crazy thinking back in the days of the DimSon (in fact I admit to remaining to this day firmly in the LIHOP camp), but ... I'd like to think we didn't engage in stupidity of QUITE that magnitude.
