I don’t recall seeing this before, but it is easy to forget such insane conspiracy theories in our sea of troubles. A search on the Orange Satan also turned up nothing. This is about what John Olver (D-Amherst, MA) said concerning the reasons impeachment is off the table. Olver is veteran Congressman, and former professor of chemistry at various prestigious universities. He told impeachment supporters:
Spare me, I know full well the overwhelming majority of my constituency is in favor of impeachment.
Spare me. Why? He went on to elaborate that if impeachment charges were filed, the current autocratic executive would attack Iran from the air, declare a national emergency, institute martial law, and call off the 2008 elections. Olver has gone off the deep end, obviously, with conspiracy theories, right?
Forget about your feelings about Nader. Nader’s assessment is eminently rational:
If this is the kind of thinking circulating on Capitol Hill, things are a lot worse that we thought, because if this is accurate, it’s a lot worse than we thought. If this is not accurate, they are a lot more paranoid than we thought. Either way, they are not a proper opposition party.
Seriously, WTF?
Updated: Here's the infammatory part below from someone at the Amherst town meeting:

Both Nader and Feuer make the same claim. Feuer may have been Nader's source, for all I know, in which case they would not be independent claims, but rather based on a single source.
