Right-winger suggests that Obama CAUSED Hurricane Sandy for political ends.

[Jim Lane]

There's an interesting thread at redstate.com about the fiasco of Project ORCA (the Romney campaign's GOTV operation). In the lead piece and the comments, some folks who seem knowledgeable about computer issues describe the multiple failings of the campaign's honchos and hired consultants.

In among the comments is a real gem from wbb1950. He (I'm guessing "he&quot begins by disdaining any "conspiracy theory" to explain the election results. He nevertheless sets the groundwork for such a theory, by asking how else one could explain a victory by a president with "a track record of failure in foreign and domestic affairs" against such a credible challenger, and one whom the "credible pollsters" showed to be winning.

We then get 15 numbered paragraphs inviting us to connect the dots. We begin with 2008: McCain was leading in the polls, the financial crash caused him to lose, human beings can cause markets to crash, and Soros did so in Britain in 1992.

Then comes the parallel to 2012:

4. In 2012, Mitt Romney was surging in the polls a week before the
election. Then came the hurricane Sandy. Thereafter he lost the election.

5. No prior hurricane has devastated all major battleground states to this
degree. ... Was this the long awaited October surprise?

6. Human beings have the ability to manipulate weather patterns. Bush 43
set up project HAARP to generate sand storms in Iraq. Obama has expanded
it.

....

15 Would a mind capable of dropping bombs on a civilian population have
moral compunctions against crashing markets and creating storms to secure
political power?

To their credit, even some of the redstaters mock this notion.

I won't worry about this unless it seems that wbb1950 has gotten wind of our plan for the October 2016 earthquake.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I thought we were doing volcanoes next time.

[struggle4progress]

29. And I thought we were planning an asteroid bombardment

I'm always the last to hear about changes in the plan

[yellowcanine]

37. Its a plague of migratory locusts, folks.

Get with the program.

[LisaL]

2. Romney's so-called surge stopped after VP debate.

[RoccoR5955]

3. I was waiting for one of them to blame HAARP

There it is!
Moron!
The HAARP was started up in 1993!

[sarge43]

10. Wingnut reply

See, see, Clinton is always to blame.

[Retrograde]

23. So THAT's why Obama's been palling around with Clinton!

Now that they can control the weather, can I put in a request for a rainy but not too rainy winter for California? And no Midwest heat wave next year?

[sarge43]

24. Big Dawg is great at 'splaining stuff

"The control panel is behind the Lincoln Portrait. Use the red button when you really want to fuck with them. Have fun. I did."

[tanyev]

4. Then Romney never had a chance.

[DCKit]

5. They keep insisting he's not superman....

but everything they say proves he is.

Little wonder why they're so scared of that particular black guy.

[On the Road]

6. ...

[Raggaemon]

14. Obama is God now ?

Don't we always hear old, tired televangelists claiming it was God's WILL when hurricanes destroy cities because God hates gays, so, Pat Robertson and the rest of that gang .... is Obama God too ? Or ... did God just vote for Obama ?

[Raggaemon]

7. What I learned playing youth sports ...

Win or lose, always congratulate the other team, accept losses and learn from them, play hard but play fair.

[sarge43]

8. Shhh, major blizzard throughout the Southeast first week Nov 16

Those folks can't handle an inch of snow. A foot worth ought to do it.

Snicker

[Jim Lane]

17. But what about the volcanoes?

If TheVelveteenOcelot (in #1) is right that we're doing volcanoes next time, wouldn't the blizzard cool off the lava prematurely?

We gotta get better coordinated....

[sarge43]

19. We're Democrats, don't need no stinkin' corrdination

'sides think of the entertainment value.

[agentS]

39. If there's a volcano in North Dakota (or Carolina), then yeah, Obama's a god.

Otherwise these Freepers are watching too much Ancient Aliens on History channel.

[southernyankeebelle]

9. I wish these republicans make their minds up. First they tell us stop treating Obama like

he is a god. Now they are saying he is a god. Republicans are on the train to kookooville.

[dinger130]

11. My 92 year old mother predicted

that the Repubs would blame the hurricane on Obama. She was right, as usual.

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Well, now I'm really confused. I thought gawd sent

hurricanes because of teh gays. They're messing with my mind, I tell ya.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

18. +1 nt

[lapfog_1]

13. "No prior Hurricane has devastated all major battleground states..."

he is right... I mean just LOOK at all the devastation in Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Virginia!!!

I sure am glad Bush developed the technology so that Obama could use it to suppress the vote of righteous Christian white people in all those states!

[hvn_nbr_2]

32. He's using Fox maps, obviously. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

15. All the more reason to vote for Obama.

I'm certainly not going to cross a man who can create massive hurricanes.

[milestogo]

16. Why would Obama let any Blue states get hit?

And why take risks with a swing state like Virginia?

[Third Doctor]

20. Wow!

Obama has a secret MASS Device somewhere. (Old Gijoe toon reference)

[GeorgeGist]

21. More like Project OCRA ...

And Redtaters.

[AlinPA]

22. More republican science.

[wrath of medusa]

25. Wow!

I guess the psychoblicans really should be scared. All hail and kneel before the Almighty Obama.

[2on2u]

26. Spending over a trillion dollars to bomb the hell out of a ME country for political

gain is much easier to swallow?, someone needs to ask this insane individual.

[randr]

27. Yes it is true

Obama Elected by an Act of God!!!!

[Thinkingabout]

28. This must be another graduate of the Todd Akin alumni

Their failure to see reality might be the reason they were unable to pick a good candidate.

[HockeyMom]

30. Maybe "God's Will" for REPUBLICANS

who LOST. Oh, forget, THEY are on the right side of god, not us.

[demmis19566ie]

31. they've gone off to the deep end

Nutbars

[Coyotl]

33. Whatever you do, don't mention the Yellowstone Project

It is too HUGH

Isn't wbb1950 the guy in charge of ORCA?

[NoPasaran]

34. When Bush left the WHite House

The Republicans thought they had buried the machine Karl Rove used to control the weather so deep it could never be found.

They were wrong. . .

Tonight on The History Channel!

[begin_within]

35. "Human beings have the ability to manipulate weather patterns..." and yet,

they also claim that global climate change cannot be caused by humans?

[Jim Lane]

36. Aha! That's why some of the people on redstate didn't embrace his theory.

They figured out that he was a double agent, working to spread the anthropogenic global warming hoax.

Damn, they were too smart for us.

[and-justice-for-all]

38. The train has left the tracks ladies and gentlemen..

I am confident that without the Hurricane, Obama would have still won by a considerable percentage.
