It is now clear that the Constitution of the United States of America may as well not exist, and it's not just over the slush fund and the shakedown of BP that took place yesterday at the White House. ... Where is the money going to go? What unions are gonna get it? What ACORN people are gonna get it? What Democrats who are experiencing great trouble here in their reelection bids, are going to get this money? ~ Rush Limbaugh, Conservative Talk Radio host and de facto head of the Republican Party, commenting on Obama Administration corruption (The Rush Limbaugh Show, 6/17/2010).
There's a sucker born every minute ~ P.T. Barnum (7/5/1810 to 4/12/1891) American showman, businessman, and entertainer, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (attributed).
Organized crime in the White House? That is what the header over at Rush Limbaugh's website declares. If only I had heeded the paranoid delusions of the Right-wingers who predicted this! Paranoid delusions that have now, apparently, proven to be true - if Rush Limbaugh is to be believed. The illegitimate President Barack Obama has used the disaster in the Gulf to apply political pressure to BP CEO Tony Hayward and shake him down for a cool 20 billion. The money, according to Rush, will go to Democratic campaign funds, Unions, and ACORN, and NOT towards cleanup costs or to pay economic damage claims submitted by individuals and small businesses affected by the oil spill.
Never mind that ACORN closed up shop on 3/22/2010 following the pulling of their funding by Congress. Which, I might add, was a direct result of the James O'Keefe undercover video which smeared ACORN with a "heavily edited" and deceptive splice job showed how corrupt they were. 20 Billion will easily be able to resurrect ACORN, who will then steal the 2012 election, same as they stole the 2010 election. More Disney characters than ever before will cast their ballots to re-elect the Socialist Kenyan dictator!
In order to make this a reality, the President has appointed one of his corrupt Czars, a sleazy individual by the name of Kenneth Feinberg, who will facilitate the payoffs in return, no doubt, for a small taste of the 20 billion. Never mind that it was Mr. Feinberg who oversaw the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund", and was appointed to that position by bush administration Attorney General John Ashcroft. And never mind that he did most of the work pro-bono. That was all a setup for this, the ultimate payday! He'll probably retire to his own island in the Caribbean after the payoffs have been distributed.
And they will be able to get away with it because it's all a hoax. BP's well did explode and massive amounts of oil are spewing into the gulf, but that was all an accident; not to mention the fact that crude oil is completely harmless. Rush Limbaugh reminded us early on that "the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there [because] it's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is". The people of the Gulf States will be fine. The wildlife will be fine. The marshes will be fine.
Yes indeed, Rush spins one hell of a yarn, which is why he's a multi-millionaire with a brand new young trophy wife. Why shouldn't someone who has sold their soul, and certainly will burn in Hell for all eternity following his eventual demise due to a massive heart attack (what's the holdup re Dick Cheney?), be rewarded in this life? Only one question remains, however - teabaggers who have abandoned their critical thinking skills (or, more likely, they simply atrophied) to the Rightwing Spin Machine who DON'T live in the Gulf region will buy this baloney hook line and sinker - but what about the teabaggers who actually live in the region and DO see their livelihoods destroyed?
That must have been what the eco-terrorism story was for. Or maybe the Obama Administration and BP colluded in a scheme to produce an intentional leak. Teabagger candidate for North Carolina's 13th district U.S. House seat, Bill Randall speculated, "...personally I feel there is a possibility that there was some sort of collusion. I don't know how or why, but in that situation, if you have someone from a company violating a safety process and the government signing off on it, excuse me, maybe they wanted it to leak".
One thing the Right does offer it's adherents are numerous lies to choose from. If you don't quite buy one there's always another. Apparently it doesn't matter if they are contradictory. Regarding the Right's response to the disaster in the Gulf - I think it has never been more apparent exactly whose interests the GOP is looking out for. You can't come out in defense of an obviously criminally negligent oil company and NOT have people see through the blatant lies... can you?
The Government and BP colluded? To what end? BP wanted their stock to lose 50 percent of it's value, cancel their dividends, and give Barack 20 Billion? I think it much more likely that it was that Ken Feinberg guy.
ReplyDeleteHe was appointed Special Master of the U.S. Government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund AND currently serves as the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation (according to Wikipedia)?
He must have figured that if anything else happened for which another victim's compensation fund was needed that he would be the guy the government would go to. Which is why he colluded with a partner in the MMS to falsify the Deepwater Horizon safety inspections!
No doubt this fellow conspirator also damaged the blowout preventer. According to a comment found on the internets... "during a pressure test, a joystick was "accidently" nudged applying 100,000+ lbs. force which moved 15 feet of drill-pipe through the closed BOP. Shortly after the joystick nudge, chunks of rubber were found in the drilling mud". (quotes around "accidently" placed there by me).
In other words it was sabotage! Also, no doubt his fellow conspirator was also his gay lover! How ironic would it be if it were Socialism and Homosexuality that destroyed the Gulf of Mexico, the top two bogeymen of the Right?!
It doesn't end there, however! I think that the MMS saboteur was a dupe used by Mr. Feinberg and his REAL gay lover, Barack Obama! They probably plan to, or have already, bumped off the MMS saboteur. This theory would explain how Mr. Feinberg was certain they'd go to him to administer the fund.
You were right about ACORN however. With an infusion of cash from the escrow account ACORN will be up and running in time to steal the 2012 election for Obama.
This theory is no more ridiculous that those put forward by Limbaugh, in any case.
Indeed. I think you may be on to something. Socialism AND Homosexuality destroyed the Gulf and BP was completely innocent? It blows Limbaugh's "eco-terrorism" theory out of the water!
ReplyDeleteBTW I took a gander at the article you linked to about Obama being gay. LOL in regards to the line about the unnamed Repub spokesperson who "[made] no value judgments on the homosexual lifestyle, other than it being an abomination against God...".
There may be one flaw in your theory, however. Wasn't it a Deepwater Horizon rig worker who nudged the joystick, and not a MMS safety inspector?
I think it could have been either a MMS safety inspector or a Deepwater Horizon rig worker. Either way, I doubt we'll ever know, since the guy's dead. If, after his time in the White House, Obama divorces his wife and comes out of the closet -- I think you'll know there was something to my theory. Especially if he moves to a private island in the Caribbean with his gay lover Kenneth Feinberg!
ReplyDeleteI also suspect that a huge chunk of that 20 billion will end up in some offshore account to which only Obama will have access. He'll use the money to live out the rest of his life in luxury, all the while gaying it up with Mr. Feinberg. That or the money will be used to finance his overthrow of our Constitutional Republic and his installation as dictator-for-life.
Although he'll have to choose between being a Socialist or Facist dictator. Maybe he'll flip a coin, since they're virtually one in the same anyway... at least according to the Teabaggers.
Dang, w-d, I am with you on this. The hypocrisies multiply with each passing day, and I have to admit: It gets downright demoralizing at times. Since I live in Florida, this Gulf oils spill effects me directly, and I have been more than heartbroken.
ReplyDeleteSomething will burst soon, and I am not just talking about that damn pipe. The partisan divide is getting ever more shrill ... with nut cases like Sharron Angle threatening "second amendment remedies" and all.
In the event she unseats Harry Reid, and G-d forbid she does, she will then become part of the same establishment she loathes; but she should be circumspect about her rhetoric: Those "remedies" cut two ways.
w-dervish,
ReplyDeleteI work with teabaggers who echoed essentially the same idiotic story, however theirs came courtesy of Beck. I had been critical of Obama (pointing out the amount of BP dividends last year, how BP stock ROSE after the 20 bill announcement) but needed to defend him due to the type of rubbish you just reported on.
There's plenty to criticize about the present administrations policy, why not just stick to facts? Well I'll answer my own question, the Right doesn't care about facts, only mindless adherence to an ideology. Should be idiot-ology.
Nice post,thank you.
