You'll never convince me that Clintons are behind this "landing".

They are snide enough just look at the self imposed 2 termer Wellstone, the Rats set that up a week in advance before his death.

No way. I mean hey, they're ambitious as all get out, and audacious too, but, really, there are limits to their audaciousness. Limited audaciousness: that's the hallmark of the Clintons!

"You'll never convince me that Clintons are behind this "landing""

Then why post this provocative story? I would put nothing, including murder, past that crew of commie supporting felons.

[CatoRenasci]

I'm not so sure, I think it's at least possible this was a setup.

[sneakypete]

I can't help but wonder if this isn't an October Surprise designed to put the screws to Jeb and energize the African-American voters.

Did you happen to notice how congresscritter Carrie Meeks (Marxist-Fla) showed up at a Jeb Bush rally/speech to ask him why the state of Florida under him still had a racist policy of treating Hatians different from non-blacks? I'm sure this was just a coincidence,right?

One of the little girls being dropped into the water is in her finest Sunday dress with bows in her hair and all. I found that bizarre to say the least.

It seemed to me that if they realy wanted to be able to come ashore and stealthily blend in with the population that they would have landed at night, and somewhere less trafficked. The intercoastal waterway has park areas and mangrove swamps, compared to to Miami. Frankly, the 17th St. causeway shot reminded me of the old Jackie Gleason Show opening The Miami Beach audience is the greatest audience in the world! Kinda what McAuliffe was counting on?

The Coast Guard, under the direction of Clinton holdover Norm Mineta DOT, said that they felt they had used the "appropriate" amount of surveillance to insure the safety of the people on board ship.

It seemed to me almost right from the beginning of this fiasco that this was a set-up to embarrass Jeb Bush just before the election. Funny how the Haitians in Florida managed to rally so quickly. Don't they have jobs?

[conservativemusician]

Why would you put this past the Clinton machine? Political expediency at any cost has been their way since birth.

Did they? I don't know.

Would they? Absolutely.

[Trust but Verify]

Maybe you'll feel differnetly after you hear this:

They were talking about this on some WSJ show that appears on CNBC last night. One of the panelists was Joe Lockhart. He said something very scary to me. This is his EXACT quote:

"It's going to be a very interesting weekend in Florida."

This was in the context of the Dems turning this Haitian 'landing' into a big racial incident to use against Jeb. A panelist fron the Cato Institute predicted a win for Bush, that was when Lockhart disgorged the above quote.

To me, they have something really dirty up their sleeves. Let's hope they overplay their hand.

I remember now why I haven't listened to Rush in a lonnnng time. Rafters, floaters, balseros, whatever you want to call them, always increase around November 1st because tropical storm season is just about over, the water is calmer, the sharks haven't shown up yet for the winter and chance of interdiciton is lower. The fact is the US Coast Guard got caught with their pants down. They didn't spot the boat until it was 2 miles off the US coast and even then they didn't intercept. Rush can blow all the smoke he wants about the Demos, but the US has substantial assets commited to detection, open water interdiction and repatriation, all of which is supposed to take place way beyond the range of Miami local news helicopters. If the USCG Commander in Miami still has his job Friday afternoon, Bush is wrong.

It's important to point out that I think people who go in for conspiracy theories are fools, but this is suspicious. The early reports said they spent 18 days at sea and the people were disheveled. But then the New York Times said the trip took eight days, and you can see that the people do not look like they've been at sea for this length of time.

Today FOX is reporting they were at sea for FOUR days.

[chilepepper]

Problem with the Demoncraps is that they blew their timing...

The Haitian story arrived on the media scene during the Russian hostage rescue/fiasco and during the Wellstone planecrash so I don't think anyone was paying attention to this second rate news story.

However, when it happened i too was very suspicious of the timing and wondered if it was yet another dirty trick by the Stain.

It does look like McBride is really starting to fade, however... but keep your guard up everyone! the RATS will do anything at all to gain power!

[Mike K]

It's important to point out that I think people who go in for conspiracy theories are fools, but this is suspicious.

Says the mighty Rush, it's not a conspiracy until I say it is and then you're not a fool anymore.

[TLBSHOW]

Rush is always right!

"You'll never convince me that Clintons are behind this "landing"."

Uh.....OK. You must have been asleep between 1993 and 2001.

[shortstop]

There is quite a large Haitian population in the nearby Bahamas. I read this morning a speculation that these 200+ "refugees" were recruited from the Bahamas to make the short trip to Miami. Thus explaining the fresh clothing they wore. They didn't look like refugees who spent the better part of the week at sea. Second point: with the recent arrest of the Haitian illegal, John Malvo, shouldn't we be demanding these people be sent back where they came from? Where is the outrage?

[wjcsux]

Don't put anything past the RATS prior to election day.

[rintense]

For being on a boat for 8 days with no food, the guy who did the back flip off the boat into the water seemed pretty healthy to me.

[harpo11]

Rush is darn right! No doubt in my mind the democrat party machine bosses have hired Hollywood script writers to come up with any and every conceivable way to plot and scheme their way into power and dominion over us, We the People.

From the Gala Wellstone Memorial aka, Democrat Get Out the Vote Fun Fest to the fertile and vivid imagery the camera picks up and relays to the eyes of the beholder such as we saw when relatively healthy looking illegal aliens jump ship so close to our shores, with handy pick-up trucks lined up to carry their alien human cargo off, with leftists lawyers waiting to protect and protest their treatment at the hands of the evil republican govenor just timed perfectly for his arrival for a campaign stop at the same place.

Coincidence? NO! Masterminded? YES!
