No lie too big, no mind too small

By Capt. Fogg

Get ready for it: another surge in the Anti-Obama wars will be arriving in about a week with a new and more specious attack from the Derangement Rangers, or as these vampires call themselves, the Our Country Deserves Better PAC. Twisting facts and flinging fallacy, they intend to pump up the rage junkies for some purpose we can only imagine and we can be sure that if someone stupid enough to buy their product acts on that rage, they will wash their hands of it and blame the liberals. In fact they're already doing it.

I can say that because the ad will apparently reference the recent intelligence report warning of increased right-wing terrorist activity -- which of course proved true: blood, bullets, bodies, and all -- as an example amongst many, of how Barack Obama is just like Adolf Hitler:

As the regime spun out of control, they labeled political opponents domestic terrorists, and warned of confrontations between such groups and government authorities.

This is their view of an all-too-correct observation. Too damned bad more attention wasn't payed over the howls of offended wingnuts and too damned amazing that they're still howling after the warning was proved accurate.

Of course, it takes a special person to see this alleged spin-out of the administration, but the accusation is quite predictable. Indeed, every accusation made against Bush, no matter how true, is going to be re-labelled and returned in the same fashion as Watergate was reprised in every word and action and relaunched against Bill Clinton:

They proposed a civilian security force, and a Congressman warned it was exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany. Opposition heightened after voter fraud by the president's allies, including thousands of bogus voter registration [sic].

Since I'm personally involved with civilian security (Amateur Radio Emergency Services), I would have to laugh at a bunch of retired engineers volunteering to do emergency communications in a disaster being compared to Storm Troopers, but it's hard to understand why a thousand or two bad registrations, which don't seem to have produced any actual votes could account for the 9-million-vote Obama victory. Hard, unless you're up to no good yourself, and of course the OCDB PAC is up to just that. It's the illegitimate child of Howard Kaloogian, the fellow who during his losing campaign to replace disgraced Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham told us that Iraq was safe and almost free of violence and that the fact was being hidden by -- you guessed it -- the Liberal Press, which of course supports terrorism. Is there any doubt?

And now the Obama Administration is warning law enforcement to focus their attention on the dangers of conservatives,

says the website. They're not, unless you describe murderers as conservatives, but I am, and I can't help but mention that this kind of rhetoric and this kind of campaign was pioneered by Adolf Hitler himself.

These people are deranged, malignant, well-financed, and well-armed. Oh, yes, and dishonest -- did I mention dishonest?
