Newest crazy nutwing conspiracy idea: AIG failed on purpose to make Obama's healthcare plan easier
to pass. I am not kidding.
I go to Faux boards for a good laugh now and then and that is one of their latest talking points. These people crack me up so hard.

10. That reminds me...
...I was at a gas station late one night when a lady pulled in with a hole in the tread of her tire. You could hear the air going out, "Pssst". The lady tried to fill her tire with air, to no avail. Then, she got smart. She rolled her car forward till the hole was on the bottom of her tire, against the pavement. She then proceeded to fill the tire with air, and then drove off.

Honest to God, this really happened, in Long Beach, California, about 1995. True, yes. Hilarious, yes.

2. Yeah, 90 years of run up to it really fucks with the business forensics.
Can't prove anything. Move along.

5. It sells health insurance.
Hence if the health insurers fail then health care reform comes easier. However, who the hell would be able to cause it to fail?! Big business would not want it to for obvious reasons. Maybe aliens did it. :rofl:

7. I knew that they were an insurance company,
but I didn't realize they sold health insurance.

14. Mostly business insurance
The bulk of their earnings are from insuring businesses and business transactions.

Lloyd's of London on steroids.

At least, that's my understanding.

6. Does that make any sense?
I don't think so...unless it gave them an opportunity for a mass of delusional crazies to expose themselves thereby justifying needed mental health care.

9. I Heard It Just The Other Way Around - AIG Failed On Purpose To Make......
Obama's healthcare plan harder to pass. So much money has to be spent to bail them out - there's little left to launch any new government sponsored healthcare plan. Now that makes more sense.

13. I'm pretty sure any adult using the term "on purpose" is a fucking crackpot
That applies across the board.

15. Dick Morris says it is to advance Obama's plan to turn us socialist...
But then again Dick Morris is a pissant douchebag with a hooker fixation.
