I'm tired of Raw Story, BradBlog, etc, making the left look like asses to drum up traffic (Connell)
BradBlog EXCLUSIVE: OH Election Fraud Attorney Reacts to the Death of Mike Connell

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3656469#3656551

Even someone as agressive as Arnebeck doesn't make the assertion Connell was murdered, though BradBlog tried hard to make it look that way.

Raw Story: GOP consultant killed in plane crash was warned of sabotage: report

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3655927&mesg_id=3655927

Doesn't make sense. Why would conspirators let this leak to the friend? If the friend had substantial information about a real threat, why wouldn't he have gone forward with it to authorities as soon as he became aware of it? Or was this just a local station passing on second hand information about a friend that expressed concern about Connell's safety without any specific knowledge? I have to assume the last until we get more details on this friend and what information he had.

They do some good stuff at these sites. I'm sorry they damage their credibility with this kind of crap.

1. Do you have any idea
how many people associated with the Bush's have been assassinated, killed in an airplane or car crash, or just randomly suicided themselves?

8. Usually by being pushed...er jumping off a tall building.
Funny how the execution style doesn't change much. I think the odds of so many being accidents particularly since the connections all lead to the same people are pretty unusual.

4. go to bed if you're tired.
Connell's plane being sabotaged is such a fucking cliche that you'd look loony NOT questioning it.

6. and may I just say to you, whoever you are
Edited on Tue Dec-23-08 01:16 PM by librechik
eff off--nobody's forcing you to read larissa, or visit here where we have free speech and discuss the forbidden even i=tho it makes you uncomfortable, poor baby.

You obviously are not reading the source material, or you would know
that Connell and Fitrakis reported the threats, asked for protection and were denied. Maybe the leaker was concerned about Connell's safety, enough to leak. That doesn't discredit Raw Story.

Gee, if the Right didn't do sneaky stuff and get away with it, we wouldn't have to have brave journalists who risk their reputations to get out the truth, only to be laughed at by assholes.

The Left with it's cries and demands for truth doesn't hurt Obama near as much as the Right with its lies hurts the people of America.

I guess we need to change who we are because it embarrasses you people on the right. Well, we won't. Go get a better perspective so you can appreciate the freedom lovers, dancing in the sun, as you watch them from your dark guilty cave of persecution.

Oh, and that goes double for Bradblog.

13. So, he was worried enough to ask for protection
And cancelled flights because of "suspicious" problems with his plane...and then flew anyway? Does that make sense?

14. Sense? Who knows? But he obviously decided to fly anyway.
the suspicions are on the record, but I can't read his mind. Whatever it was outweighed his suspicions, one might say.

12. Worst OP of today-so far, no doubt.
Truth Teller-DU's got world class researchers and investigators, people with experience and networks that include the black budget operations community; their work, at first, was ridiculed then posted elsewhere (including some of the sites you mentioned) because it often became LBN.

Your OP is the worst of the day, so far.
:nopity:

10. Yeah and David Kelley committed suicide after emailing Judith Miller too...
Don't be naive. Folks like Raw Story have been very careful to state they aren't claiming that someone's *guilty* of murdering him to cover this up. They are just saying that the surrounding facts that make this suspicious means that it shouldn't be ignored and fully investigated and are doing their job telling us of the possible conflicts that should be explored by our government bodies, but might not be, given the potential corruption that is in our government itself.

and didn't do it to defend the honor of Iraq.
