What coincidence? You decide. But first a little background.

The anarchy we see in Ferguson MO brought to you by Democrats, Gov Nixon, Eric Holder DOJ and President Obama.

Yep. As Twitchy readers know, a Ferguson, Mo., police officer was shot in Dellwood, Mo., Saturday night. Ferguson agitators descended on that scene as well; a scene that was being called a “war zone.”
And look at what happened earlier that night.

Yes. Yes he did.

Unbelievable, yet totally believable. As Twitchy reported, President Obama addressed the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Saturday. And this happened:
Citing Ferguson, MO., Pres Obama says in too many communities, “a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement."

Pres Obama said he wouldn't comment on the investigation of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, but noted his family in the audience.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 28, 2014
But no “comment.” Except for that. And, you know, all this:
Pres Obama said too many young men of color feel "judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness."

Pres Obama cites statistics that show "significant racial disparities" in the treatment of minorities by police.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 28, 2014
Pres Obama calls racial inequities part of the "unfinished work…we gonna have to fight for it, stand up for it and have to vote for it.“
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 28, 2014
Why on earth would the president seek to agitate further?
And with his eye on the midterm elections, Pres Obama urges Congressional Black Caucus audience to help get out the vote.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 28, 2014
Oh, well. Votes.
These citizens are outraged.

As Obama continues to stoke racial tensions in Ferguson, police officer shot. Meanwhile, not a peep about woman beheaded in OK by Islamist.

Police: Ferguson officer shot; 2 suspects wanted **Nothing to see, folks, Obama profiled the police quite sufficiently, it is their fault.
— Jane McClain (@PlainJaneinCA) September 28, 2014
Bingo.
And in an exit nutshell:
