I’ve always hated John Denver, but I really did post this for a reason:

Anglachel has a really ugly scenario:

And, after Obama’s forces descend on the Denver convention in buses chartered by Obama to haul half of Chicago across the plains, and hold made-for-the-media “riot” (kind of like 1968 crossed with the Florida recount), and threaten the super delegates into voting for The Precious, I will grimly watch the crushing defeat of Obama, Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Richardson and all the other idiots who succumbed to Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

Well, sure. All that Hillary Hate has to be good for something.

But don’t worry. Everything’s going to be fine.

UPDATE If this scenario is anywhere close to coming true, I think it casts doubt on the whole Dream Team concept. Hard to picture the Grant Park rioters in 1968 being mollified with a Vice Presidential slot, and it’s equally hard to picture rioters being “rewarded” with a Presidential slot. So let’s just hope that this paranoid scenario doesn’t come true.

Denver is the key to the whole conspiracy!

By the end of her column Anglachel had IMO gone around the bend, and once you turn that corner it is a slippery downhill slide into madness. Too much scary stuff, and you start sounding deranged.

*********

It’s all clear now, the weird issue framing, the persistent demonization of all who disagree, messianic calls for transcending the past in favor of some vaguely promised undefined future, the zombie-like worshipfulness of the cult-enthralled followers, the inhuman, off-key alien nasal droning of John Denver, bus loads of crazed rioting darkies racial minorities from the South Side of Chicago and as this videotape discloses at the last second, just before the speaker mysteriously disappears, the secret that Jeremiah Wright tried to warn us about – oh, truly; Obama ascending, it is the end of times:

Doug Wilder said there'd be riots if it wasn't Obama too-threats

are not gonna help--There just aren't enough African-American voters as compared to women and Hispanics and older people and poorer people, etc.

A lot of people are saying a lot of things

Too much of it unhinged, and deliberately hurtful. If Hillary gets the nod, Obama will dutifully trot out and endorse her, and work to support her. That is, if he wants a future as a politician. He's a young man, many races ahead for him; he'd be a fool to walk away as a sore loser; if he does, well, then there will be that much less sympathy for him.

The Dem big guns want this sorted by the end of June latest, and so it will be one way or the other.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
