It's True Because We Say So.

On Tuesday, we talked a little about the practice of Bomb-Throwing, i.e. Say Any Crazy Shit You Feel Like Saying, And Wait For The Non-Crazy People To Respond, Thereby "Legitimizing" Your Nonsense.

Here's a good example: Neil Cavuto claiming that the Dow hit 10,000 today due to...wait for it...wait for it...the "Bush recovery."


Amazing! Aren't these the same people that sent their legions of teabaggers out to rail against the stimulus?
Of course, they're also the same people who claimed there were "hundreds of thousands" of people in attendance. We suppose it's True Because They Say It Is.

So we're getting a peek behind the looking glass, y'all. Bomb Throwing is a crude technique, but still sadly effective. All you need is a bullhorn and an agenda.
