Simply So Predictable

No surprise to find conservatives desperate to find a way to blame Obama for the earthquake. Or least to make some analogy to make it just as bad as Bush fiddling on stage a full day after Katrina drowned New Orleans. Because somehow Obama going golfing after an unexpected event in which no one was hurt and with little property damage over 22 states is exactly the same as Bush cutting birthday cake with John McCain many hours after the storm hit and jetting around the country to fundraisers while 10,000 Americans were trapped in the Superdome.

First out of gate in the race to blame was Wingtopia's favorite idiot, Jim Hoft. Charles Johnson braves his comment section and finds this gem:

To bad that all, ALL the liberals weren’t in that tunnel going out into Virginia from the Capital and our representatives buildings, and it caved in taking them all out! Then that way the largest majority in Washington would be the conservative Republican’s. Then when Obama came back from Martha’s Vineyard he’d have no one to support his crazy ideas that are destroying this nation. You know that Obama is good friends with Maurice Strong who thinks he runs the world with all his bogus organizations and even more bogus NGO’s. Our conservative Republican’s could defund all the U.N. agreements where we don’t know where the money goes. America could begin returning back to where it ought to be. And if all the liberals were dead, Obama couldn’t do a damn thing to stop it. I would like to see him in a situation like that, and I would like to see America in a situation like that, where we would have a small conservative government that got the things done that it is supposed to do and that’s all.

Granted it's nutpicking to use a single commenter, but it strikes me as pretty damn representative of some of the conservatives I know personally. Gratefully, not all of them.
