HOW BULLSHIT WORKS, PART 391,267,346,583.
Don Surber -- an asshole whose greatest claim to fame is being fired for calling the late Michael Brown an animal -- is pushing what seems to be the current conservative line: That black people were manipulated against their wills into protesting the Wilson decision in Ferguson, and that the ensuing riots were committed by Katie Couric and Dan Rather. Excerpt:
The looters won, thanks to President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Governor Jay Nixon -- Democrats all -- who ignored the truth and the facts of the case to fan the flames of violence, across the country. People have begun calling these the Obama Riots. Expect more.
"Calling these the Obama Riots"? Who's calling them that? Pro that he is, Surber provides a link -- to Breitbart.com, which is telling readers to call them that ("CALL FERGUSON DEMONSTRATIONS WHAT THEY ARE: 'OBAMA RIOTS'"). Give Breitbart credit, though -- they didn't descend to actually pretending this was a common usage, perhaps because they knew some lower species of propagandist would do it for them.
UPDATE. In comments, Giant Monster Gamera: "Obama Phones, Obama Care, Obama Riots, Obama Nation... Haven't these people heard that any publicity is good publicity?"
UPDATE 2. New troll policy, guys, starting now: our troll's remarks will be deleted, as will all replies to them. Let him take his sick need for negative attention somewhere else, and let someone else give it to him.
