[Air America's]Randi Rhodes Suggests Blackwater Started California Fires (Newsbusters)
Newsbusters ^ | October 26, 2007 | P.J. Gladnick

Fresh off her recent assault in which many suspect the culprit to have been 14 Bloody Marys, Air America radio talk host Randi Rhodes has now wandered into Moonbat conspiracy territory with her suggestion that Blackwater was the the cause of the current wildfires in California. Here is a partial transcript (audio available here) of what Randi said on the air on Wednesday:

I started just doing Google searches to try and figure out. You know, arson, arson, it was like crazy trying to figure out why is that being downplayed? Why is that, you know, just a small part of the story? And you know, every time I look for it what comes up, believe it or not, is that Blackwater wants to move to San Diego and build this giant complex in San Diego right where most of the evacuations are taking place and you know.

You just know wherever there is fire, this administration will be out there doing what it does best and that is fanning the flames, you know. It just spooks me, I can’t explain to you how creepy this whole thing is that you know, you’ve got these fires. Some of them are thought to be the work of arsonists and in the same breath you’ve got a community that’s on fire that just recently protested Blackwater West. Just recently said no to Blackwater and apparently you don’t do that.

I mean, I don’t even know what to think. You know, nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down. Nobody is saying that, but it is all so bizarre that this is America and you have to sort of sit there and wonder … arson, same place Blackwater West wants to be, people protesting. And then you find out that some of the guys that used to work for Blackwater are now in Schwarzenegger’s administration.

It’s all so creepy.

Perhaps Randi needs to take some time off work and volunteer to douse those Calfornia fires with copious quantities of Bloody Marys while wearing a double layer tinfoil hat to protect her leftwing conspiratorial mind from the heat.

UPDATE: The Rhodes "Scholars" on the Randi Rhodes message board are now weighing in on the possibility of Blackwater causing the California fires. It appears they agree with their heroine about the guilt, based on no evidence, of Blackwater. Here is a sampling of their conspiratorial rants:

I thought blackwater was involved in this. I called it a couple of days ago.

Last night Mike Malloy mentioned that he has a suspicion that these fires were set and he said that sounds conspiratorial but after all the years under bushco, truth is scarce and at a premium these days. Mike Malloy also said the wildfires can be used as a great distraction...but this story puts a whole new twist on it.

also there are apparently some blackwater on governor terminatior"s staff...has the gov decided that the black shirts are the ss of amerikas future?? and he wants to be the photo op symbol of their muscle...no no that would just be too much self absorption...wouldnt it rush ...arnold after all smokes 10,000$ worth of havana cigars a month...hes one of us!!! yay yey...look whio we hang out with BLACKWATER AND THE TERMINATOR...SEIG HEIL!!!

Of course Blackwater (or those that have a vested interest in Blackwater) set the fires. How many "convenient coincidences" like this will it take for Americans to finally wake up an realize that it has been an "inside job" before (and including) 911 all along.

This time it might be meth. Booze doesn’t make you that paranoid.

BTW - After the last fiasco involving Rhodes and a news story, why would anything she says be taken as credible?

I always felt that she was going to cross over into stellar kookdom very soon.

As for the downplaying of arson by the MSM, well, that is spot on correct, but the media ignores that little whatchamacallum... oh, right, fact since it doesn’t fit in with the Global Warming mantra and attempts to steal money from us in that way.

I now openly predict that when a few more arsonists are caught, the media will spin that to being Bush’s fault, and also, our stand on Global Warming being the cause of, or catalyst for, people to commit arson

"... oh, right, fact since it doesn’t fit in with the Global Warming mantra and attempts to steal money from us in that way.

And the fact that one of the suspect arsonists is a hispanic from Guatemala ... and possilbly illegal ... can't be reporting this kinda of negative news about hispanics!

Unfortunately, her audience is receptive to this kind of thing.

Obviously, poor little Randi is still suffering from the effects of her self-induced concussion where she was ‘attacked’, like you say, in all probability, from 14 Bloody Marys!!!

I say Congress outlaws Bloody Marys IMMEDIATELY. They are endangering our country, and I daresay, they are in all likelihood the true arsons in the southern California fires!!

Where are the protests, man? Where are the protests??
Oh, the huge manatee!!!! :-O

BLACKWATER
Tune: "Black Water"

Well, we set us a fire, she's already ragin'
Ol' Californy, she's burnin' with flame
Wildfires jumpin'
The hoses keep pumpin'
Blackwater keeps settin' 'em fast just the same

Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Yeah, keep on clearin' the site
Gonna take everything, San Diego
Gonna take everything in sight
And they said it was arson
But it depends how you're parsin' that word

If they complain, we don't care
Don't make no difference to us
Just see that mansion that's burned to the ground
Yeah, we'd like to get some pricy piece o' land
And build a training base
And Randi's buyin' everybody drinks all around

Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Old Blackwater, keep on burnin'
Californy fire, won't you keep on clearin' debris
Yeah, keep on clearin' the site
Gonna take everything, San Diego
Gonna take everything in sight
And they said it was arson
But it depends how you're parsin' that word

We'd like to get some pricy piece o' land
San Diego, come and watch us buy the land
Buy the land, watch us buy the land, San Diego
All your land to Blackwater are belong
We want a training base, a training base
All your training base to us belong
Buy the land, watch us buy the land, San Diego
All your land to Blackwater are belong
We want a training base, a training base
All your training base to us belong . . .

HOW DO YOU START A FIRE WITH BLACKWATER?
Tune: "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"

How do you start a fire with Blackwater?
How do you clear a crowded part of town?
How do you find the means used by Blackwater?
A pour of the gas,
A light of the match,
Kapow!

Many a mile you know you'd like to purchase,
Many a mile--you want room to expand.
But how do you make them move,
So prices will then improve?
How do you bring the price down on the land?
Oh, how do you start a fire with Blackwater?
How do you keep the moonbats from your plan?

Blackwater just another name for Halliburton.

I’m thinking of a little child who’s been caught looking in his/her parent’s closet for Christmas presents. When asked to account for himself, instead of admitting it and apologising, we get an outlandish story about protecting the house from burglars to divert attention.
