Got to thinking that some may think I engaged in a bit of hyperbole when describing the rabid lunacy of most libs on the Slate site. Matter of fact, I'd be skeptical myself if I had not wasted a number of hours there. The following is a copy of a post by a participant who calls himself "freedom lover". I didn't change a thing except the spacing. Another, more recent post by a lib flatly stated that "the further right you are, the closer you are to Satan". These posts typify not only the deranged fanaticism which appears rampant among libs, but also shows their skewed perceptions and their bitter hatred of Pres. Bush. This is why I believe the Republicans need to keep their guard up and make no assumptions regarding the outcome of this year's election.
I caution you, it's not a good idea to read this right after a meal - and the only value of the post is strictly for entertainment. Also it helps to know your enemy.

...don't you think it's rather strange that george h. w. bush was a friend and neighbor of john hinckley sr., the father of the guy who shot reagan, who was an oil and reputed CIA man himself? that neil bush and hinckley's brother were chummy? that other connections between the two families exist, as well as other suspicious circumstances, and the 'liberal' media almost total ignored this? being the v.p. and standing to gain from any successful assassination, he had the motive, of that there's no doubt. usually, the media would had a field day with this information, but didn't investigate(but then again, they didn't lbj) and broadcast this information--wonder why...

The Bush and Hinckley families go back to the oil-wildcatting days of the 1960s in Texas. (Ironically, they go back even farther in a genealogical sense, since the have a common ancestor in Samuel Hinckley, who lived in the late 1600s.) The relationship was much closer between George Bush, Sr., and John Hinckley, Sr., whose
families were neighbors for years in Houston. John Hinckley, Sr., contributed to the political campaigns of Bush, Sr., all the way back to Bush's running for Congress, and he supported Bush against Reagan for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination. Bush, Sr., and Hinckley, Sr., were both in the oil business. When the Hinckley oil company, Vanderbilt Oil, started to fail in the 1960s, Bush, Sr.'s, Zapata Oil financially bailed out Hinckley's
sompany. Hinckley had been running an operation with six dead wells, but he began making several milliion dollars a year after the Bush bailout.
Scott Hinckley, John's brother, was scheduled to have dinner at the Denver home of Neil Bush, Bush, Sr.'s, son (and of course the current president's brother) the day after the shooting.
At the time, Neil Bush was a Denver-based purchaser of mineral rights for Amoco, and Scott Hinckley was the vice president of his father's Denver-based oil business. On the day of the shooting, NBC news anchor John Chancellor, eyebrows raised, informed the
viewers of the nightly news that the man who tried to kill the president was acquainted with the son of the man who would have become president had the attack succeeded. As a matter of
fact, Chancellor reported in a bewildered tone, Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had been scheduled to have dinner together at the home of the (then) vice-president's son (Neil) the very next night.
The story of the Bush-Hinckley connection was reported on the AP and UPI newswires and in some newspapers, including the Houston Post, which apparently originated the story. It was
also reported in Newsweek magazine. Then the story about one of the strangest coincidences in presidential assassination history simply disappeared.
