Could anyone explain to me how this has any factual basis whatsoever or is this just a case of stupid Republicans being stupid?

to add, IMO it's a lead in for GOP political shenanigans.

Sounds like it's a stick with which to beat on Obama.

I wonder if that was a false flag. The speculations about Craft International people being at the finish line are at least entertaining.

For some reason, they don't trust the civilian criminal justice system with this case.  Go fig.

No factual basis whatsoever.

It's bullshit.  You can tell it's bullshit, because Lindsey Graham and John McCain think it's a good idea.

Some of the conspiracy theories have been pretty funny.  My fave--other than Obama covering up for Saudis, but that's a bit boring because it's so boilerplate--are the ones about the Navy SEALs being spotted at the marathon wearing backpacks.  Because, you know, that's what SEALs do before they blow shit up.  They wear backpacks.

A lot of the crazies are on to a new conspiracy theory now. See, West Fertilizer was suing Monsanto. As all good conspiracy theorists know Monsanto controls Obama as a puppet, so on Monsanto's bidding Obama ordered a drone strike on the West Fertilizer factory. So now West Fertilizer will most likely be sued into bankruptcy over safety violations or something when the real cause for the explosion was Hellfire missiles. This then disrupts West's lawsuit against Monsanto.

Damn, that's pretty awesome.   :cool:

I wonder what the 'authors' could do with that 'ingenious thinking' if they applied it to problems in their own life ?  :unsure:
