Wingnut vandalizes hotel room, blames Clintons

This is priceless, but unless you're in the area where this happened, you probably heard it here first!

In the town of (get this) Clinton, Iowa, a right-wing galoot demolished a hotel room by filling it with trash, knocking holes in the walls, and tearing the carpeting. Then the culprit turned right around and claimed this damage was created by the Hillary Clinton campaign weeks ago.

An Iowa TV station broke this story, and the wingnutosphere is about to run with it by blaming the Clintons and the Democrats in general, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up before you see the Freepers spouting their hate-filled lies. Hopefully we can get the truth out before the bogus version of the story is allowed to spread. If it doesn't catch on, we know we've had some success.

If this story has a familiar ring to it, it's like when Bush trashed the White House when he seized power and blamed it on the Clintons. An inspection by the General Services Administration found that the executive mansion was in tiptop shape when the Clintons left, but that part of the story was almost never reported. It turned out that Tony Snow also lied about Air Force One being vandalized.

Why the fuck does anyone trust the wingnutosphere after being debunked over something like this before?

  1. This sounds like a chapter for "The Looney Conservative Hoax of the Day".

    Reminds me of the time a few years ago when some GOPist (a lady) who was running for something ran out in the street so she could accuse some guy of trying to run her down. Who remembers this? I forget who this was now, maybe someone can help me.
