Comedy Gold: "Closed Chrysler dealeships were targeted by Obama if voted republican"

[ksoze]

Yep, the latest conspiracy theory being hoisted by the RW loonies.

Making the right wing blogs rounds right now - initial searching of closed dealerships and then looking into the owners political party choice reveals supposed high republican slant. Of course, no one checked the preferences of the remaining open dealers, nor has provided any real evidence. Besides the point of why a sitting President would direct close low performing dealers because of how they may have voted. The desperation and euphoria of these tin foil hatters is sad and slightly funny.

1. I'm betting Dealers as a whole

vote Republican anyway. Dealership owners, especially.

Just a hunch.

[T Wolf]

3. Eggs -actly. biased sample invalidates conclusion. But then, reason and repukes are estranged.

[Tempest]

2. Did Obama target the 881 dealerships that were closed in 2008?

Damn, Obama is capable of time travel.

4. Somehow I don't think Obama personally chose the dealerships to close.

I'm pretty certain that would be a decision made by Chrysler management.

If these people would actually think it through (fat chance!) they'd realize how silly this claim is.

5. Actually think it through? Do they have that capability?

[drm604]

6. Obviously not. n/t

[ChazII]

7. This has got to be the looniest theory

the tin hatters have thought of to date. Yes, it is sad, too.

8. I demand to see Obama's vehicle registration!!!

What is he trying to hide?!!!!

9. OK, that's bound to be the funniest post of the day.

:rofl:

17. Well, he owns a Ford, so what GM and Chrysler do is of no

concern to him.

That said, it's still an American car, so his car, upon reaching the age of 35, can be president. :)

10. So, only the liberal dealerships are open now?

With their socialist "fair wages" and "unions"?

Not to mention all those free lattes with every oil change.

11. Car dealership owners are 90% Republican.

[11 Bravo]

12. The closest Dodge dealer to me will be closing. It sits squarely in the middle of Fairfax, VA ...

a region which went heavily for Barack Obama. As usual, the wingnuts are talking out of their collective asses.

On edit: I should have read the entire post before replying. I still think the wingers are fucking nuts.

13. Moving more into the MSM today - tin foil hat alert

The story may be pushed more into the MSM - mostly so far on-line blogs of some papers and Michelle Malintent was evidently pushing it on Faux & Fiends this am. Will be fun to watch it crash and burn as they try and spin something out of nothing.

[AspenRose]

14. That sounds like something Republicans would do to Democrats, actually

Exhibit A: Liberty "University"

:think:

[slampoet]

15. 92% of car dealers vote GOP so who cares?

[depakid]

16. Nate Silver already slammed this one

Not that the fact free corporate media will care- just watch they'll still run with it.
