Remember THEIR tinfoil?
It's sad when the RW accuses US of being the crowd that has the conspiracy theories.

After all...

Bill Clinton murdered Vince Foster!!!!

Bill Clinton murdered Ron Brown!!!!

Bill Clinton tried to murder my daddy!!!!

Global Warming is a lie fabricated by the Radical Environmentalists!!!!

He caused his plane to crash to make it look as though Bush murdered him!!!

He shot himself in the head twice to make it look as though Bush murdered him!!!

There is no Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!!!! (Saying this while taking a bag of cash from Richard Mellon Scaife to the bank while other RW'ers who have made this same claim are also there and making a deposit)

1. Sure, they all believed that Saddam had WMD.
And invaded the god damned place. That's what I call a tinfoil hat.

3. So your point is that LW conspiracy theories are credible because the RW
also has wacko conspiracy theories, which seems illogical to say the least? Or are you saying the left DOESN'T have conspiracy theories, which is patently untrue?

6. What LW conspiracies?
Not saying there aren't any. Just asking what you think the current ones are?

4. You know, that was the first
time I ever remember hearing people actually accuse the POTUS of murder. I remember that video. I couldn't get through it. I was horrified and when Hilary talked about the Vast Right Wing conspiracy I nodded my head. She was right, though. It surely existed. And it has been downhill since then. The VRWC took politcs to a new low.

5. It IS sad because lately they're right.
Look at the hysteria generated by a simple power outage in LA.

7. Apples and Oranges?
A few minutes on the Internet doesn't equal the vast, vertically and horizontally, integrated media/Congressional blitz against Clinton and Gore.

8. Um, where have you been?
That was just today.

The left wing has more than its fair share of conspiroids and moonbat conpiracies.

Who said anything about the media?

9. You are correct.

No one has said anything about "the media."

However, the items ck4829 cited WERE in "the media." In fact Jerry Falwell promoted the "Clinton Chronicles" in "the media." What he did was probably "tax exempt" to boot.

The items that ck4829 cited were ALL OVER "the media."

You evaded my question by interjecting "the media."

"Hysteria" on a post board for a short period does not equal the vastly promoted tin-foil theories of the RW that were promulgated all over "the media" for years on end. ck4829 provided a VERY short list.

Even the venerable "60 Minutes" promoted the infamous Kathleen Willey.

Many, many people "know" about the examples that ck4829 cited. Only the people that read this board (or others) know about "conspiracy theories" about Los Angeles.

Where ARE the Nationally Known conspiracy theories promoted by "the left"?

Apples and Oranges.

edit: Oh, yeah, The_Casual_Observer named the Grandaddy of all "conspiracy theories" -- WMD.

10. Go to the 911 forum.
Follow the links and see why people think we're loons.

Don't take MY word for it, LOOK IT UP YOURSELF.

The 911 "truth" people are in league with the right wing conspirators.

Same agenda, different goals.

And you never saw any of this going on around you ?

Too busy thinking lefties are too intelligent to fall for it?

:banghead:
