There was a time, recently, too...

....a time when I didn't understand why barrcuda got away with so much, but the past 2 weeks? Holy shit.

Tonight especially:

Understanding that the right gets the cash and prizes in the aftermath of many of these shootings is a vastly different thing from inventing a crummy spy-novel "op" complete with shadowy agents, accomplice webs, and all-powerful, unknowable national security puppet-masters at the helm. The former is an attempt to circumvent the propaganda, the latter is falling for it entirely.

It was like seeing a verbatim transcript of my own Id.

I was thinking exactly those thoughts as I was reading the post that prompted Cuda's response, and was about to post when I saw his reply. I would perhaps have added that none of this means that there isn't in a fact a shadowy op.
