(1,716 posts)I got suspicious when the right wingnuts began fawning over a dead peace maker. Their usual response is "good riddance" unless it's one of their own. From what I can gather, Chris Stevens was a spook of some sort, that seems fairly obvious, but I believe he was viewed as one of the good guys. Not the Ollie North prototype that the right is so infatuated with. I can easily be persuaded that they killed him. Especially if he truly was a peace maker, which seems to be the case.
The incident would have been used to ratchet up the pre-election hype to a fever pitch, providing cover for those who would steal the election by means of electronic vote flipping. Fear would be the excuse used as cover: "folks got in the voting booth and changed their minds because they were afraid."
The more you think about it, the more it fits perfectly. And it could have worked, too, if it weren't for Candy and Sandy.
