    lol..........

    The conspiracy that the IRS targeted groups based on their perceived political affiliation (what if I'm just an ACTUAL tea party non-profit that throws tea parties for small children around the country??)

    Oh right, that actually happened.

    The conspiracy that the CIA was running guns in Libya and p*ssed off the wrong people who then attacked (at which point State said: Fk that, we ain't getting invovled).

    Oh right, that actually happened too.

    Or do you mean the conspiracy about Big Brother targeting journalists in drag nets or even worse targeting them indvidually.

    Oh right, that happened too.

    We'll ignore the OTHER gun running, and the misplaced terrorists, and the 80 year old nun his Justice Dept. is charging with terrorism (mainly because she made him look like a fool).

    There are conspiracy theorists in all political parties. Studies show belief in conspiracy theories are associated with feelings of powerlessness, uncertainty and general lack of control.

    I'm not sure 9/11 conspiracy theorists are conservatives, and all of the 'chemtrail' believers I know are extremely liberal.

    They won't be lunatics anymore, after they figure out who's preying on the federal employees who ended up dead. Seems they've managed to improve their efforts.

    Oh look -- another dumb liberal desperately pretending the mountain of evidence implicating the Obama administration in criminal conspiracies doesn't exist.

    The party wants to keep people distracted from real issues. That's why Fox hammers bullshit into people's brains. If they're distracted with nonsense they won't look at what's really going on.
