N.C. Republican candidate: Feds and BP spilled oil on purpose
Another day, another crazy Tea Party candidate lets one fly, seemingly with complete disregard for his electoral chances in a Republican run-off election soon to be held in North Carolina. From the Bellingham Herald:
RALEIGH, N.C. Republican congressional candidate William "Bill" Randall is suggesting that the Obama administration and BP conspired to intentionally spill oil in the Gulf, resulting in 11 deaths and the worst environmental disaster in the nation's history.
Randall, who has aligned himself with the tea party movement, readily acknowledges that he has no evidence that what he says is true. But that is not stopping him from making the claim as he campaigns in the June 22 GOP runoff to face incumbent Democratic Rep. Brad Miller on the November ballot.
"Now, I'm not necessarily a conspiracy person, but I don't think enough investigation has been done on this," Randall said at a media conference on Tuesday. "Someone needs to be digging into that situation. Personally, and this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact, but personally I feel there is a possibility that there was some sort of collusion. I don't know how or why, but in that situation, if you have someone from a company violating a safety process and the government signing off on it, excuse me, maybe they wanted it to leak.
"But then it got beyond what was anticipated, and we had an explosion and loss of life. And, oh man, then we have panic. Is there a cover up going on? I'm not saying there necessarily is. But I think there's enough facts on the table for people that (they) really need to do some investigative research and find out what went on with that and get a subpoena of records and everything else."
I guess they don't want South Carolina to have all the fun.
is intended to be a factual statement
Not one word about the bush appointed people that came from the oil industry to look over the MMR.
Vote republican for more madness!
in the US..The crazier
for the people..Those with good sense would never vote for the likes of these guys!
The Deep Horizon began drilling in 2001---who was on the watch then!???

William "Bill" Randall needs no facts to fit in his reality...
... There's no room in there for them.
Starve the WAR Beast...
... Save the World.
President Obama must have conspired with the Feds to cause BP's massive oil gusher that is in the process of destroying the Gulf of Mexico. It's so obvious! Obama wants to nationalize BP and the USA petroleum industry because, you know, he is a secret liberal socialist communist nazi ...
/snark
Never mind that the Federal government is still awash in Cheney / sock-puppet Dubya appointees and hires whom have sworn personal fealty to the Bush Crime Family, or that the Rahm / Obama administration has so closely aligned with continuing the Dubya regime's major policies in the fervent hope of out-NeoCon-ning the GOP, in order to draw in all those special interest funds.
Or that, just like the contrived economic meltdown of 2008, the roots of this ecological disaster had its beginnings in the abject refusal of the Cheney / sock-puppet Dubya administration to provide any regulatory oversight whatsoever over their crony capitalist rape-and-pillage benefactors.
When I hear or read the utter tripe bullshit that the Reich-wingers come up with, I have to doubt the sincerity let alone sanity of these shite-weasels, and the intelligence and/or sanity of their followers. I no longer have any "hope for change that I can believe in" regarding the future of this country -- we're all packed into an express elevator to hell, the cables have broken, the emergency brakes have failed, and the Corporatist Muzak is cranked up to "11" ... there may be a few fisticuffs on the way down, but it's the sudden stop at the very bottom that I am thinking about ...

for reminding me of my 15 floor free fall in an elevator.......thank goodness the emergency brakes worked or I probably wouldn't be typing this.......it was not a happy experience, believe me!!.......other than that, I agree..:)
Where the hell was that?
at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas??......the free rooms after the incident were nice though......:)
join clarence (uncle) thomas' wife teaparty group?
Just asking.
Some stuff you can't make up!
Sure.
me-oww!
conspiracy theorists say that?
The moment one HAS TO PREFACE what they are not...
... You know that they ARE.

Miller better be careful.

"Personally, and this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact..." hahahahaha
his "I'm just sayin" with "there's enough facts on the table" to begin that investigative research and supeona records, etc.
These folks are truly being driven crazy - bat-shit, stir-fryed - crazy by this president.
I made up some bullshit to appeal to the crazies...
youre just saying. given that youre running in an election and making a statement about the opposite party, oh right, of course it makes 'sense' to see a conspiracy. because thats only when they happen: when folks are running for elected office and 'see' illicit things about the other side of the political aisle.
I'm not racist, but, the President is black, oil is black... I'm just sayin.
Now what I am about to say should in no way be construed as being based in fact but the situation as I see coming from a" totally don't know what the F*uck I'm talking about" point of view, is that, not that I have any idea what I'm saying is... that even though there isn't a sliver of evidence that should suggest that anything I say isn't being pulled out directly from my A**. Having said that doesn't it seem odd that I could stand here, as stupid as I am and try to convince even the stupidest of you all, that anything I'm saying amounts to anything more than a steaming pile of stinky Bullsh*t.
A Libertarian guy I work with....calls himself a "Constitutionalist" believes the same thing
all it takes is all of us
are just pompous asses who label themselves as fighters for individual freedoms and hide behind the constitution to justify their own greed.
Such has always been the goal of conservatism to construct a superior rationalization for greed.You'd think a libertarian would be someone who'd prefer the individual wrapped in the constitution burning the flag than the one wrapped in the flag burning the constitution especially the twit mentioned in the previous post who calls itself a consttutionalist, but it's been my experience with self-identified "libertarians " that they're not sure what they want or what they believe.
... are to political beliefs what agnostics are to religious beliefs. And I do NOT mean that as a slap at agnostics.
it sure feels like one!
:D
me-oww!
Some of them carry around a copy of the Constitution to refer to regularly. And of course they insist that no laws count except for the Constitution.
A friend of my wife's believes that "The Terrorists" blew up the oil rig. Whoever that is. She thinks that it is being coved up by "The Government." She never comes over her, though. She's afraid of me. I use logic on her. Pisses her off. Last time she was here I asked to name the titles of the last three non-fiction book she had read. (crickets)
the dumbing down of the USA continues. Say it and people will believe you. It must be true if it's on a TV screen.
if they don't conflate fact and pure utter bullshit as being equal.

You need to figure it out...either you START supporting Planned Parenthood or you STOP supporting inbreeding. Something needs to happen here because y'all are producing way too many whack jobs!
Nowadays it's not easy to come up with an argument about the gusher that either BP or the government can easily win. You've done well.
Have you thought about arguing that the gusher was designed as a death panel to kill grandma? They're quite good at that one too.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
You want a 'conspiracy'???!!!! Bush and Cheney Administration let 9/11 happen!!!!!
Honest. Would I lie to you?
...by utter incompetence.
this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact, but personally I feel there is a possibility that bill randall is made of rotten parsnips.
I don't know how or why, but in that situation, if you have someone from the GOP spewing absurdities, excuse me, maybe that person is not a person at all and made of vegetable matter.
Is there a cover up going on? I'm not saying there necessarily is. But I think there's enough facts on the table for people that they really need to do some investigative research and find out.
This is the typical Beck method of argument.
"I'm not saying that the president and BP purposely unleashed oily hell on the gulf coast. But isn't it interesting... isn't it interesting that I'm the only one asking these questions? I know what they're saying! They're saying 'Bill. You can't accuse the government of intentionally carrying out a plot that really doesn't seem to benefit anybody even if it had worked correctly.' Maybe they're right. Maybe I'm a coo-coo bird! But, maybe... just maybe..."
Oh, of course. Why, Obama flew out there in a black helo just to supervise the op (leaving a 'Fakebama', or 'Oshama' if you prefer, to play Wii Fit at the White House, whilst a naked Dick Cheney watched and gloated from his secure undisclosed minisub.
It's all so obvious.

would be the purpose of intentially blowing up an oil rig?!!!!!
I just see black helicopters wherever I go and wear a foil hat.
Bet you anything that the idiot is a Christian. With an IQ like that, you know he's some religious loon.
The baggers of tea (so as to not offend the tea-baggers by calling them tea-baggers) actually found a person of color to rally around.
Gee, that proves there's no racism in the bagging-of-tea movement, eh?
have a history of lovin their loonies in living color.

I forget from which Republican. Can't this party's candidates come up with a true fact on which to criticize Democrats? Do they have to make things up? What an ideologically bankrupt party!!
...are also the same ones who were AGAINST any type of REAL investigation into 9/11...
that's been picked to go through and take charge of handing out the proceeds to those who need it...(can't think of his name) and Bachman is now saying he's from this administration..forgetting he was picked to do the same thing for the families of victims and victims of 9/11...(you know, the REAL 'hush money') ...by the BUSH Administration.

that this guy can stand up in front of an audience and suggest a conspiracy of the Obama Administration that has no basis in fact and not long ago, anyone that suggested 9/11 might be an inside job was labeled as a terrorist? Lordy, it's worse than I thought.
You can ONLY criticize the government when there's a dem in charge.
You know how you can tell a true conspiracy theory wacko??
Look for phrases like this:
I'm not necessarily a conspiracy person, but....
Is there a cover up going on? I'm not saying there necessarily is. But....
Then this guy goes and makes it even easier!!

Another rocket scientist form the Tea party , there's is the cult of the stupid , the dumber the better , they worship stupidity I swear .

Ya'll's current North Carolinian posted that to the open thread two nights ago.

It hit the local news within minutes of him sayin' it. It's pretty looney even for us. And I thought I'd transcribed enough of his looniness so ya'll'd know how good the clip was. Guess not.
Right then. Back to the woodshed with me. I'll stop saying ya'll for a while too. I reckon The double contractions above probably provided enough head-scratchin' for now.
Once again you prove to the world that anyone, and I do mean anyone, can aspire to public office. We lost a lot when we changed our election laws. I truly miss the Rhino Party.

As I have said before...let the cover-ups begin. When you think of the decades that shenanigans such as this have been going on...doesn't anyone know that eventually "shit catches up"? I wonder what other environmental disasters awaits us in the future because someone cut too many corners somewhere or someone was paid off for too long to keep their mouth shut about this or that?
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
the cover-up about 9/11. Never.
Now that I understand Republican logic I see that there were no lynchings in the South: it was suicides. And slavery was just a way for people with more business acumen to fully utilize labor.
Yes, no matter how obvious the cause of the problem, there's a Republican/Tea Party way of looking at things. And it's not racism because, you know, you can't be a racist and be Black.
More stupid, Tea party lunatics coming out of the cracks. Great news for Dems, since they are usually hiding from embarrassment.
said that stupid is as stupid speaks...
In the USA, CRAZY is the new NORMAL....
I'm just sayin'
Where the fck do these wingnuts and their crazy ideas come from?
And who are the fruitloops that support them?
I read about that earlier this week. I fall into Brad Miller's district, and I think it is time for me to call his office for a sign for my front yard.
Do you think the local paper (Raleigh News & Observer) will print a letter to the editor where I state something about Randall's repeated sexual relations with goats and his campaign's collusion to hid that from the press, followed by '"Now, I'm not necessarily a conspiracy person, but I don't think enough investigation has been done on this. Someone needs to be digging into that situation. Personally, and this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact, but personally I feel there is a possibility that there was some sort of collusion."'?
