Apparently, there is at least one Democrat other than Hillary ("vast right-wing conspiracy") Clinton and Cynthia ("Bush and others knew about 9/11") McKinney who could use a refresher course on Occam's Razor.
In its simplest form, Ockham's Razor states that one should not make more assumptions than needed. When multiple explanations are available for a phenomenon, the simplest version is preferred. A charred tree on the ground could be caused by a landing alien ship or a lightning strike. According to Ockham's Razor, the lightning strike is the preferred explanation as it requires the fewest assumptions.
You have to go right to Little Green Footballs to see the transcript and recording of Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) blaming Karl Rove for Dan Rather's downfall. Even after telling the crowd that this was only a "belief" of his, he asserted that "I think it’s very important to make charges like that...", to which the response from the audience was sustained applause.
Remember Billy Crystal's old Saturday Night Live character who used to say, "It's much better to look good than to feel good"? Well, some of the Left have a philosophy that it's much better to feel superior than to be honest and truthful. I think that's what got their last President into trouble.
