The Root Of The Problem

One could assume that liberals would blame the current economic woes on the conservatives, and visa versa. Even I didn't expect this though: a conservative blames the whole mess on TWO LIBERALS. Talk about narrowing down!

JD Hayworth: No, I'll tell you what was bad. The sneak attack on our economy, the dress rehearsal of Indy bank, when Chuck Schumer helped get that started and the guy in the background George Soros manipulating all the currency.
Chris Matthews: What?
JD Hayworth: You want to keep that going?
Chris Matthews: You mean the economic situation we faced right now...JD you can talk fast but I don't know what you're talking about.

Emphasis mine, in case you missed it. I can't get the video here at work, so click on the link above for the clip.

Incredibly, JD Hayworth doesn't go for the safe choice. I've said the economy is too big for one man, even the president, to ruin; but if you want to blame the 2008 crash on anyone, why not Clinton? I have this image now of Hayworth walking out to his car, noticing he has a flat, and raising his fist to the skies: "SOROS!!!!!"

Maybe Chris Matthews has some skill for bringing this kind of nuttiness out of Republicans. Remember Michelle Bachman? Maybe people will say anything in hopes that he will stop spitting on them. I would, God knows. Maybe there is a use for torture after all, as long as you aren't shooting for accuracy.
