Are conservatives the NEW conspiracy theorists?

I don't know about your actual question, it think it's just more hateful slander rather then a conspiracy theory...but you forgot one:

Obama is the anti-christ.

I don't think they get anymore outrageous then that.

Goodness sake, blindness to your own political party's actions only to accuse another of the an extreme form of a bad trait is just silly.

Common, but silly.

Political bigotry is common to many people. Conspiracy theories are a tool of the political bigot quite often.

Fact is, there are political bigots, and then there are patriots who DON'T hate half the country.

And those of us in the latter group are getting pretty tired with this sort of nonsense (both what you point out, and what you are doing).

Exaggeration, slander, libel, name-calling, spreading unfounded rumors, it's all nonsense, and anyone with any sense sees through it.

Oh, by the way, I'm a democrat. I spoke up the same way with the political bigotry when my President, President Clinton, was attacked. I do the same now when my President, President Bush, is attacked.

My respects to the patriotic republicans and democrats who deal with this sort of nonsense each day, and still come through with the goal of putting the country first, the political agenda second.

No, conservatives are not the NEW conspiracy theorists.

Conspiracy theorists and political bigots are in a class ALL their own.

There are idiots & conspiracy theorists on both sides of the political fence.

I am very opposed to Obama as president, but not because of any of that "Obama is a Muslim" BS!

Same with the drug rumors & the Larry Sinclair rumors. NOT worthy of consideration when such important issues are at stake.

And although Obama's church is not proof that Obama is, himself, a white hater, it does show he has very poor judgment.

I wouldn't vote for McCain if his preacher of 20 years was preaching that Blacks were the cause of Aids & most other problems in America.

I want a candidate that would stop going to a church if that kind of crap was taught, rather than continue attending, even taking his daughters to that church!

(It's not just Wright, but the church members who were jumping up & down with joy over "GD America" and other disgusting statements!)

I've been down on this side of conservatism for many years. The idea that they would play footsie with the militias, and then try to cover it up after Tim McVeigh blew up the Federal building is shameful. They just can't let go of their tinfoilers. The tinfoilers themselves may not vote, but there are segments of the conservative base that are sypmpathetic. I believe if you pander to the nuts, you might as well be nuts.

I wish all us citizens and voters would

just concentrate on the candidates

qualifications and what they promise to

do should they become president (of

course that is not always believable either).

We don't need name calling, conspiracies,

political correctness, feminist and racist

remarks, and antiAmerican leaners. Let's

just step up to the plate, be good citizens,

love our country, and vote for the person

you think also loves this country and will

be proud to preserve and protect it and it's

citizens. I think we'd all be better off !

Obama's father was a Muslim. Obama attended a church for twenty years that preached hatred of whites and had a written agenda of black first. This is considered racist and certainly would not be tolerated in any white candidate. The church Obama attended extended an award to the leader of the Nation of Islam which teaches that the white man is the Devil.

In a time when we face enemies within and without the very idea of a candidate that shares even a few views and values in common with that enemy is offensive.

I don't think they as a group are any more prone to rumor starting than any other group. All groups start or spread rumors if it appears to be to their advantage. The greater the intended goal, the more likely they are to begin rumors, both positive ones for themselves and negative ones for their opponents.

Has Hillary finally realized her "vast Right-Wing Conspiracy"?

If they are, then Faux Newz is failing in its courtly duty as the #1 station of Lies and Spies.

The thing about these whisper campaings is that I don't actually believe that the Republicans even believe any of that crap. They're just trying to appeal to those Americans who ARE dumb enough to believe it.
