Dear conservatives: Your entire movement is an exercise in self-parody.

(Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge) said that the Obama administration began referring to the Islamic State as "ISIS" so that the group would be confused with Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the former chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

"We never heard of ISIS until recently," Drudge told (prominent conspiracy peddler Alex Jones). "Do you know it was designed to be confused with Darrell Issa?"

According to Drudge, President Obama decided to do that "because Darrell Issa was the enemy at the time of this administration." He noted that Obama could have been impeached over the IRS scandal, which Issa investigated as chairman.

"They came up with the name ISIS to be confused with Darrell Issa. I’m really being honest with you," Drudge said.



Yes, that must be it. What other possible explanation could there be.

The President has referred to them as ISIL every time I've heard him - and that alone is enough to tighten tinfoil hats on the right. Walter Winchell wannabee Sludge is making up shit again.
