ToDaZeD Disquieting Idea

intent? or opportunism?

I’ve had the feeling that somehow, somewhy we’re being Alinski’ed.  After days of MSM screeching about the End of the World, “we’ll all be living in Hoovervilles Obamavilles,” crashcrashcrash!, “Danger Will Robinson!"-ing, I got that ol’ waidaminnithere... feeling.  Stuff like this doesn’t help:

Soren Dayton at Red State: [nancy Pelosi] I have an alternative hypothesis: she wanted the bill to fail. I have three pieces of evidence.

...Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats had a way to win this vote today. Either out of incompetence or strategy, they walked away from that opportunity.

One of the reasons we need Republicans on this is to keep the left-wing bullshit out of it.

Democrats are willing to keep that out—in exchange for the bipartisan cover provided by Republican votes.

But if Republicans aren’t voting for it, Democrats will have to put all that ACORN shit in again to bribe their utraliberal minority members.

Which is what they’re now promising to do. ...

Republican intransigence on this makes it nearly guaranteed there will be billions and billions of dollars for ACORN. And more money for the CRA. And more guaranteed mortgages for people who can’t afford them.

I’m real clear that I’m in over my head on this - despite reading up on it obsessively.  As over my head as Uh-bama at a real job.  Still, I get these funny hits off all the hysteria.  Serious threats oughtn’t to have such attendant hysteria—or, more realistically, the difference between the hysterics and those discussing serious business in a serious manner ought to be much more clearly discernible. 

Just Me™?
