As if to prove that point, one of their writers, John Nichols, is attempting to preemptively blame swine-flu deaths on Republicans who voted against the bloated $787 billion-dollar "stimulus" bill Democrats in the House and Senate approved with near lock-step conformity without reading.
For all these Democrats knew at the time, David Obey could have inserted a $900 million appropriation for swine flu research in Mexican facilities that went awry and created this never-before-seen avian-swine-human H1N1 hybrid. Democrats would have voted lock-step to approve that as well, but do you think Nichols would have blamed Democrats for it?
Of course not.
It's also a fact that Barack Obama actually shook hands with a noted Mexican archaeologist who died of the flu the next day.
If Obama had been a Republican President instead of a Democrat, you can rest assured Nichols and his fellow conspiracy theorists at The Nation,and the Democratic Underground message boards would have been buzzing about the racist Republican attempt to eradicate Democrat-voting minority cultures with a genetically-targeted virus.
Afterward, Kanye West would find a second-rate awards show to declare "Barack Obama hates brown people," and Naomi Wolf would use the occasion to once again declare that it was evidence of a fascist coup, probably orchestrated by Blackwater and Karl Rove, and no one on the hivemind left would dispute her.
But Barack Obama is a Democrat, and is therefore always blameless, so the leftists who need an outrage-of-the-week have found another (rather creative) way to blame Republicans for a natural event.
I can only imagine next week they'll find a way to blame the GOP for missing sunspots.
No doubt, we'll find out Dick Cheney had them waterboarded.
