So once again we have a president blaming his problems on nefarious figures who work in the shadows (see also Bill Clinton’s Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy):
"Shadowy conservative groups pledge $1 billion to take down the President..."
Courtesy of conservatives on Twitter, we now have a wonderful hashtag of all those #ShadowyConservativeGroups:
The list goes on , and you can see who many of these shadow figures are on Twitchy (or simply check out the hashtag on Twitter). I must say that Conservatives have truly become the stars of Twitter these days. If you doubt it, just scroll through the Twitchy archives.
But there’s something else that’s fairly disturbing about Pres. Obama’s tweet: his assertion that people are trying to “take down the President”. With his statement, he is implying that there are shadowy figures attempting to overthrow the Presidency, or stage a coup d’etat, rather than the more mundane truth of our quadrennial election, in which the current office-holder is likely to lose his job.
This fear of being “taken down” seems out of place, smacking as it does of paranoia, rather than the President’s usual extremely narcissistic behavior. Perhaps we’re seeing the beginning of a clinical melt-down.
We’re in the very best of hands.
This shadowy group used to be called the silent majority.
I’m PROUD to be a member of MANY “Shadowy Right Wing Groups”!
I think that would make a great tagline: “Proud Member of Shadowy Right Wing Groups”
Charles and David Who...?
And the most noteworthy among the “shadowy conservative groups” is the 60 or more percent of Americans who simply believe in the American constitutional way of life. As poster “mountainlion” put it, they used to be called the “silent majority”. Now they are “shadowy” but that is simply because the leftists try to ignore and obscure them and their point of view. The media bars any mention of a group then calls them “shadowy” because they aren’t put forth each day by the media. Dishonest tactic.
Go “Shadowing Right Wing Groups” (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy)!
You are America’s last hope!
Like Soros and his umpteen “foundations”?
Ironic for the demoncratic spawn from Hell to crawl from under some rock and accuse conservatives of hosting shadowy groups. The Left is rife with them.
Like all flimflam, shuck n’ jive, tin horn frauds, Obama lives in a world of shadows and paranoia.
