Take it away, Rigby!
“…I felt the need this morning to comment on William Otis’s latest post, because there truly are some cuckoo-bananas assertions in there. If Ringside at the Reckoning allowed comments, I’d put this there. But they don’t, so here I am.
First of all: Credit where credit is due: Otis recognizes the indictment of James Comey for his “8647” seashell photo for the crazy-nutso pile of BS it clearly is. (I wish I could say the same about his evaluation of the SPLC indictment, but: baby steps.) But before he even gets to that, he spends most of his energy disparaging the left for their alleged craziness.
His first example of the left’s lunacy comes from a post written by a man named Caden Olson, a man you’ve never heard of, a man I’ve never heard of, a man Otis had never heard of until he needed examples for his post. Let me just say this. Caden Olson has fifteen subscribers. Fifteen. If that’s your lead example, you’ve already lost. We’re talking about the Department of Justice indicting a private citizen for the sole reason the the president doesn’t like him. That’s whole universes of magnitude worse than a no-name blogger spinning a silly conspiracy theory. Trying to equate the two is like comparing a T-rex to a bumblebee.
To be fair, there are all kinds of loony conspiracy theories floating around on the left, but none of them are propogated by elected officials or Democratically controlled government entities.
Then Otis makes his wildest assertion yet:
…That some kinds of Democrats entertain this sort of thing, but no Republicans I ever heard of do, is one of the reasons I can never vote for the Dems….
Emphasis mine. This is so bonkers, I’m amazed the pixels stuck to the screen. No Republicans? Really? Apparently, Otis has never heard of Alex Jones or Jewish space lasers or Democratic weather manipulation or Haitan immigrants eating dogs or QAnon or the Deep State or Pizzagate or the Great Replacement Theory or birtherisim or the kookiest conspiracy theory of all: the 2020 election was stolen, which 70 percent of Republicans believe, egged on by the leader of their party, the current president of the United States, who has shared so many nonsense conspiracy theories on his failing social media platform, even Art Bell would would be like, “Hey, take it easy, man.”
For some reason, those conspiracy theories don’t count. Maybe Otis believes all of those theories are all real. Who knows?….”
I will only add that Rigby is spot on here, line for line. Thanks, man!
Onward!
