When you heard about this security scare, did it cross your mind just a little bit that there are people who want power by any means.

8. Notice that hack Viquiera is not so subtly hinting that |
|
this is political opportunism from the Democratic Party. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - I have the opposite thought. Fuck you Mike Viquiera.
This will be fun -can't wait for the ReTHUGS response but I suggest the hack just laid it out.

17. Because the recognize political opportunism when they see it... |
|
:rofl:
Yeah, it's a comedy, and it's all about THEIR projection. Funny thing is, we all saw this coming... we know the drill, and we call the plays long before the batter is up! :rofl:
What isn't so funny is all the low-information believers who are having their chains yanked... and damn me for even caring about that, but it pisses me off how these asshats manipulate the masses.
Cheney and Rove are still manipulating the world, I'm convinced.

6. My only thought is that it is a scare tactic to get more right wing votes. |
|
Do you know of any election in the past 10 years that didn't have a terror alert coming from the right and the MSM?
Next week we will hear that there was really no reason for the alert.

9. There are people who want power. They are called politicians. |
|
And we've got an internal problem with that pursuit that far outweighs anything overseas, in my opinion.

16. It's a "National Emergency", or was one until the OP changed the header. See: |

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x493403Also, the US and CANADA are AT WAR over airspace incursions by US fighter jets (or, that was what I thought the lacquer-haired blonde said on CNN. Retracted.

12. My current thinking... |
|
is that there now won't be any follow up to the report about Halliburton, that will drop off the radar.

20. You might have something there... |

I know I was shocked to see the BP/Halliburton story on the front page of the WSJ today.
It comes to work in my name... :puke: I need to change that to the firm's name... I feel dirty.

I put it more in the category of a Laci Peterson/plane crash/tornado/insert not-that-important story here type thing. I think there's a bandwagon effect too. None of the 'big 3' cable news networks (ok, 2 and 1/2 . . . sorry CNN) wants to be the one left out if it does turn out to be big, so they all do the saturation thing. I was rather irritated too because I had just started dong dishes/cleaning and wanted to have something on in the background and I knew right away that they'd be filling the air with nothing for hours and hours on end. Don't really see a conspiracy at work, just our lame news machine doing what it does.

27. Uh,guys, POTUS says threat is credible, |
|
that there were explosives found in 2 packages. Looks like this is for realz, unless you think Obama's part of the hoax. Personally, I believe him. He's not noted for running around yelling terra, terra, terra.
