“I know FR isn’t a place for conspiracy theories, just thought I’d post this new one up to get some reactions from the FR crowd:”
WTF!
Please post this crap at DU....
How bout we put HCR back in the news?
The MSM and the Democrats have made it impossible to understand what is actually included in “health care reform”. They have consistently lied about the contents of these proposed laws. Despite this, informed people have strongly opposed these laws.
The MSM does not need terror events to cover up what is going on. They will do so even if there is no other news that day.
The terror events and the “health care reform” issues are related in that they are both symptoms of the contempt the MSM and the politicians have for the good people of America. They are willfully destroying the best health care system in the history of the world and they are allowing Soldiers of Allah to kill Americans.
Yes, I doubt if the healthcare bill was not passed that the White House would have had their media pals make a big deal out of the act of terror. Obama would not have wanted the “need” for government healthcare to be off the front pages.
Certain types of news stories do crowd out other news stories. For example, the Tiger Woods story crowded out the cop-killer pardoned by Gov Huckabee story, which crowded out the Balloon Boy story. That goes on all the time. But staging this attempted terrorist act to crowd out healthcare bill stories would be wasteful for several reasons.
First, it’s a Christmas weekend already being frazzled by bad weather in the Midwest. People already are distracted.
Two, when Congress comes back in early January, the big push will be on merging the two different healthcare bills. The story is going to be back in the news.
Three, even now, during the recess, Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu, and others are in the press detailing what they will or will not accept in a modified bill. So really, the story is still in the news.
Unfortunately it is. :-(
I thought terrorists were going for the 40 virgins, not marriage.... But, some might want to marry a $100M Senator...like Lindsey....
I've lived too long to believe it is coincidence.
Cigars anyone?.
