Up and down this thread, and same with the NC arson, are “false flag” allegations, complete with armchair forensics, “parsing” and ISIS.
It’s like I’m really at National Review.

I’m hoping this and the thing at Hillsborough NC GOP was some GOP fuckers.
Democrats would have sprayed on something like this

What proves it is a false flag operation is the use of the ISIS style phrase “cross worshippers.” So the person who wrote this is anti-fascist AND a Muslim extremist AND cares enough about American politics to attack the Republican Party? That is a Venn Diagram where the intersection of the three circles is a null set.
Or it was somebody who really wanted to piss off Republicans.
Of course, but why would someone want to piss off republicans? Hmmmmm?
Methinks this wasn’t done by Hillary supporters but by Trumpettes/GOPers seeking some attention/free air-time.
When all has failed, burn the house down, destroy it… and see if insurance buys it

Sounds to me like the work the alt-right Trump cultists. I may not be able to prove it, but this has hate group tactics written all over it to try to make Democrats look like the criminals the alt-right Trumpanzees are.
Defacing somebody’s house is something neither establishment Republicans nor Democrats would do.

I smell either a KKK, neo-Nazi, or other alt-right rat with this one. There’s zero chance an ISIL sympathizer would come up with this bile to describe the GOP establishment, but there’s more of a chance an alt-right Trump supporter would.

Just like in North Carolina, I have the feeling that this is a GOP effort. The “Cross Worshippers” is a dead giveaway.
The cross-worshipers bit is a dead giveaway, to me
Nonsense. This would only make Dems look bad. This is a RWN job for sure. It’s obvious Dude. Progressive are not this stupid.

Do Nazis and Klansmen really hate Nazis and slavers and crosses? Or Republicans, for that matter? Folks here said the same thing about the NC arson, that it was Nazis or Klansmen who called the Republicans Nazis and racists. How very Rovian of them.
Not even one.
Can’t possibly be a liberal.
Liberals believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
No, but they would love people to believe that democrats would take a page out of their alt right playbook and start defacing things with ugly spray paint messages. Kind of cracks me up to think about them being more careful about the spelling this time because the misspelled words in NC lead people to think it was NOT democrats

Over the course of this thread, the false flag scenario has gone from a joke, to a possibility, to a plausibility, to proven – with absolutely zero new facts. It’s been reinforced simply through more people piling onto the theory and lending it credibility, democratically. This is how bubbles work, and this is how conspiracy theories gain steam and flourish whether it’s at Breitbart, Alternet, or in Russia.
It isn’t kooky to consider it a possibility. Ashley Todd isn’t the only precedent, I’m sure…but it’s not evidence. What’s kooky is that we’ve got otherwise reasonable people who, when faced with something that doesn’t jibe with their self-perception, will believe that whatever that thing looks like it must be the exact opposite: a scheme orchestrated by sinister forces to undermine them.
If you reserve the right to call right-wing conspiracy theorists insane, stupid, or brainwashed, you had better apply your own standards to your own thinking. And when it comes to placing blame on people, you had better be able to back it up with more than armchair forensics, dilettante linguistics, and smug self-assurance. Or, we can continue along the path the country is on currently, where we live in irreconcilable universes separated by our egos and biases. Sure, I’m concerned, and I’ll leave the light on, frog.
