They can demand all the Full Federal Investigations they want, these things don't get investigated.

so you advocate asssasinating people to cover up political corruption?

Absolutely not.
I'm saying that these things don't get investigated. And if there IS an investigation, because of sufficient public outcry, it'll be a whitewash. Same thing happened with the 9/11 Commission, which was never supposed to have come about and never would have if it hadn't been for the persistent pressure from the Jersey Girls and the families of victims.
So they were finally thrown a bone, that was rigged to incriminate *nobody* from the very beginning.

so...you DO advocate murdering people to cover up political corruption. You just don't like the whitewash afterwards.

you have to admit that the timing of the accident is rather interesting. Plus, if it's true that the guy requested federal witness protection, gets turned down and later turns up dead....well, that's even more interesting.

i'm not saying Cheney or Rove orded the guy killed....but this is the crew that believes in torturing 'suspected terrorists' for fun and profit.

Okay Weaver, you're just farking with me now.
What I advocate is a FULL investigation into what happened, and making the facts available to all. If it was a political assassination it should be blown wide open on the front page of every newspaper on the planet, and those responsible held accountable. That's what I advocate.

Cog: LOL - truthers should be institutionalized.

The Keane Commission was called a whitewash and a coverup by members of that very commission. One quit in disgust as a result. Show me where that statement is incorrect.
Na, just keep marching with the sheep and don't adjust those blinders. Life's so much easier for the mentally challenged that way.

Yeah, it is more than slightly suspicious. There is an awful lot of stuff here that individually is nothing, but putting it all together is making my conspiracy meter explode.

How about herded into ghettoes, and forced to wear a "T" for Troofer patch on our clothing? Might not be original, but it'd be effective.

Enough to make me believe that the crash should be thoroughly investigated. Usually a cigar is just a cigar, but sometimes it isn't.

adamgreeney 2008-12-21 02:09:03 PM  
I'm certainly not prone to joining the Truther crowd, but if the guy asks for federal protection and abandons a number of flights prior to this out of fear. . . Well, that is way too much coincidence for me to overlook.

Did they find a body? Cause if I was gonna fake my death I'd request protection, complain about mysterious malfunctions with my plane, then bail out before I crash into a house, which catches fire even though I ran out of gas.

Sorry to sound like a counter-intelligence operative, but it looks a lot more fishy if the guy was trying to get out of something rather than trying not to get Roved.

Came here to say this.
If people have been sabotaging my Cessna, and I'm testifying against Karl Rove et al, I'm going to stop flying my Cessna.

I'm also going to start checking under my car with a mirror before I get in, testing my brakes, varying my route to work, and setting up deals whereby sensitive information gets mailed to various lawyers and reporters should I die or go missing.

You don't fark with Rove without being VERY careful.

Do we have any kind of solid news about this? Y'know, like Time or Newsweek or Reuters or something? I've been following this story as best I could but so far I haven't seen any news sources so much as covering a plane crashing, let alone all of this other info. Maybe it's real and anything from reliable news sources is lost in blog spam.

Can we all just pray to God that Cheney and Rove die this year? Cheney's had 8 quadruple bypasses, I mean, how much power does the Prince of Darkness have to keep him alive like this?

Job security.
I'm pretty sure that Satan is scared that Cheney would replace him.

As someone who lives near enough to make an observation:

It was all of 20 degrees last night, we had 24 hours of intermittent light freezing rain before hand - and the wind last night (and still now) felt like it was going to blow my house off of its foundation... sounds like the PERFECT time to fly a single engine plane around.

These "Bush rigged the elections!" people are the left equivalent of "Obama was born outside the US and is a Muslim!" people.

 
Scott Thrust 2008-12-21 02:50:41 PM  
VR demands that the Ohio Attorney General and the United States Justice Department conduct a complete investigation into the activities of Mr. Connell and determine whether there was any foul play in his death.

If it's the same Attorney General who authorized illegally tapping into Joe the Plumber's personal life by Obama's operatives, I'd say they have a pretty good shot at getting this partisan witch hunt off the ground.

The Ordos believe he's been upgraded with either a Sarcosian Wave Generator or something from the Halo Stars. Dosen't really matter I suppose since he's been declared Excmmunicate Traitoris, threat level Hereticus Extremus. Capture for trial or termination at the discretion of the capture team.

Only a dyed in the wool dittohead could turn an investigation into a suspicious death into a "partisan witch hunt".
Had the deceased been Karl Rove himself, under the same circumstances, I'd be demanding a full investigation.
Once I stopped chuckling.
