They have no problem identifying the BS of the often crowed, "Iran will have the bomb in X days/months/years", but when it comes to the loaded "the US/Israel will attack Iran in (name a day/month/season)", suddenly it is "truth2power" or some other bullshit catch phrase. Do you remember the threads about the attack before the democratic convention? Or the ones "it is the October surprise"? Or the attack will take place the weekend before the elections? On DU2, I actually complied a list of the threads on DU and articles, stretching back EIGHT years, on this very subject. Each one hellbent on saying "this time it is for real, yo!"

They get worked up over the rumors, not out of fear, but out of hate.

Didn't I hear this same shit around this time last year? thelordofhell Feb 2013 #1
