Left-Wing Talk Radio Host Says Obama-Haters Hatched Detroit Terror Plot
2010-01-07
Proving that there's a lot of paranoia (or maybe they call it "heightened imagination") on left-wing talk radio, certifiably nutty host (and former CNN employee) Mike Malloy is at it again.

Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer reports on his Monday show, Malloy refused to accept the premise that al-Qaeda put a young Nigerian jihadi on a flight to Detroit for a Christmas Day massacre. It was, claimed Malloy, a Republican plot:
Now, the inquiry, the questions are being raised as to whether or not this is not a deliberate attempt to embarrass... ah, that's not quite a strong enough word, but let's start there, embarrass the Obama Administration -- that there are forces at work in this country, and I believe this as surely as I put on my right shoe before my left -- that there are forces alive who are very active, very wealthy in this country, at work in this country that want Obama to fail no matter what and the idea of killing 200 to 300 people on a jetliner in order to make the point is nothing. It means nothing....

My gut feeling is this was deliberate, this was deliberately done in order to put the Obama Administration in such a vice grip, that it's impossible to get anything done, to raise so much fear, this is what Republicans do, this is what they do.

Maloney joked this was an expose on "the real killers" -- even though, mercifully, no one was harmed on Christmas in Detroit.

#9  And he has been putting on his shoes since he was a baby.

#8  Of course this explains his problem. You'd be crazy too if you went through life with your shoes on the wrong feet.

We should tell him that the right shoe has to go on the right foot. I doubt he can figure that one out on his own.

#7  I believe this as surely as I put on my right shoe before my left

Why, of course. I measure the strength of my beliefs by the order in which I squeeze into my size 7's as well. I don't have to take my feet out of my mouth before donning my Nikes though.

#6  Who needs a conspiracy? Nothing the right could do would make Obama look and be as stupid and moronic as he's managing on his own.

Obama, not just stupid, but totally incompetent at BEING stupid.

Let's face it, a complete moron would do a better job accidently than Obama.

#5  Blame the right wing or face the fact your messiah is not who you thought he was. Not a hard choice for most hardcore lefties. They'll continue down the path of denial while the center shaves off.

Dear Comrade Malloy, this outrage is precisely why time is of the essense. We must begin wealth and property redistribution as quickly as possible to end this bourgeois nonsense. Once they have nothing and all hope is gone, they will quickly self-migrate and be gone.

#2  No safe refuge for the left in the rational side of interpreting what happened, so they flee to the irrational and hope none of their followers notice.

Shades of what the Mullocrats in Iran are peddling.

#1  Wow.

it just doesn't seem to matter to leftists.

A republican president or a democratic president.

Republicans get the blame.

Funny how this guy confuses the insides of his "safe" regions with the offices of the Republican National Committee.
