"The Alabama Republican whistleblower, Dana Jill Simpson – who alleges White House involvement in the Siegelman case – had her home set on fire and her car run off the road after she came forward."

35. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
There must have been thousands of people who have had their homes burned and then been run off the road who had nothing to do with ratting out Rove.

Well, hundreds.

Maybe a couple.

15. Ditto.
This is a scary group, we're 'dealing' with.

Check this out:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3135608&mesg_id=3135608

As I recall, Bush's Brain discussed a number of individuals who were done-in, one way or another, by rover +. People are really afraid of doing anything against them, including, I suspect, members of Congress and Senators.

If/when we could get into U.S. attorney scandal, we'd have a leg or 2 up on what they've done over the years.

34. Say it three times and you get a wish.
Too bad that you can’t just say it thrice and make a wish. Because if it were the case, Gore would be president, Bushco would be in prison, a few million people would be healed, our soldiers would be home safe, we would have alterative energy to spare and I would be living on a vineyard in frogville at this very moment.

19. A++++++ Yep, that's the deal.
This story won't go away and Siegelman makes his case well.

Anybody in the country ambulatory, with a pulse and above 14 or so knows what this means.

But Rove's a writer now, artistic conceit!

Great one. Keep reminding us.

20. Yes. Scott Horton wrote about it at Harpers and it was posted here, but
Edited on Thu Apr-10-08 04:14 AM by Hissyspit
well worth re-emphasizing, so thanks.

First saw it here, or maybe earlier: http://www.harpers.org/archive/2007/06/hbc-90000351

There is much that is ugly about present-day Alabama. Larisa said Soviet America, Roger Schuler (Legal Schnauzer) said Thugs. Both are right. And Rove has bought his house in Florida right next to Alabama.

"All Roads Lead to Rove." And Rove is the Bush Administration.

22. Gosh, people! Conspiracy theories! Ugh! Why jump to conclusions?
Just because she was testifying against the Republican thugs as a whistleblower and then her house burned down and she was run off the road...what does THAT mean? Maybe her husband set the bed on fire with his cigarette! Or maybe she deserved to be run off the road--maybe she's a bad driver and she made someone angry. Did you libs ever think of that? Or maybe the gay agenda is chasing her! Maybe the abortionists burned down her house? What about the communists? The Chinese Communist Islamofascists? What about them, huh? What about the Alabaman Iraqi-Iranian Liberation Front Alliance? What about them? What about the HEMAB? The Homosexual Evolutionist Martyrs for Allah Brigade?

More silly leaps of logic from the Blame America First crowd!

27. There was another fire connected to this
Another victim, Judge John Whitfield, and his office was burned, I think it was quietly declared to be arson and nothing further has been said about it.

Needless to say, it remains unsolved.

They threaten everyone who get in their way, and those who don't listen and comply are dealt with.
A few plane crashes come to mind as evidence.

See, they have nothing left but violence. I guess that's because they never had anything to begin with, rhetorically.

47. But we have been told conspiracies to steal elections just never happened.
And let's be real about Siegelman and the attorney firings - this is, at its core, about the massive stealing of elections all over the country.

Those who try to pretend these matters are not connected are NOT our friends.
