So I showed a Republican Co-worker the Bomb Headlines Today

I knew exactly what he was going to say before he even opened his mouth. He immediately, without thinking, said that the Democrats were about to get trounced in the mid-terms so they concocted this bomb plot to try and bolster their base to turn out and vote. As I stared at him opened jawed in amazement, I realized that within 24 hours, Trump will pretty much suggest exactly the same thing. These right-wingers are so far gone at this point, they are beyond reason.

If they catch some white winger and he has all kinds of links to the GOP and such...the next conspiracy will be that he is a patsy and was set up.

Limp-Bra says that Republicans just don't do things like this in spite of the countless examples of right-wingers bombing women's health clinics, the Oklahoma Bomber, and any number of violent right-wing hate groups. I'm sure that the FBI will find this moron and the Right will defend him and make him a hero.
