Some of the big time blogger types like the Instapundit and Jim Treacher over at the Daily Caller are also starting to notice that this Hutaree militia case is awfully convenient for the narrative that the Democratic party honchos and their spinmeisters want to convey right now.

And as we have seen before when it comes to this administration nothing happens by accident, at least at the public relations level. Bells as we know, can't be unrung.
