i know it sounds forced
but, seriously, the amount of attention that the huffington post 'scandal' received does nothing as well as point out the chance, even, that ANYBODY with an internet connection on the right, trying to score points, posted those. something that kurtz probably didn't even consider, let alone contemplate prior to writing his initial piece.
basically a move out of karl rove's playbook, back in his texas days, where he's installing hidden cameras in his clients office a few days before elections and then finding them, and so forth.
i'm not actually saying that it's the most likely scenario, because we all know there are people on the left who are capable of saying they wished cheney would have been taken out by that bombing, just as there are (probably a lot more) people on the right expressing contempt that carter wasn't 'taken out'.
in reality, it's politics, and that doesn't necessarily mean that if any of these people actually had their fingers on the button that literally controlled whether the lives of carter or cheney would be taken, they'd actually press it (although, again, percentages on the right and left on that matter would probably be off balance).
but whatever.
