Name some Repuke *conspiracy theories*... |
|
This morning good ol' reliably right-leaning NPR was covering Sen. Graham's book, and in an unsurprising turn, managed to mention the words *conspiracy theory* more than once. :eyes:
It no longer matters what information we have, it's all instantaneously marginalized by being called a conspiracy theory. And with most things as long as we continue to let them control the language they've got us by the balls. Let's turn the tables and tag their (what are HONESTLY) insane paranoid fantasies *conspiracy theories*.

2. I too was going to mention Hillary |
|
She seems to be their all-purpose bogeyman. "Hillary's coming to getcha!"
All of their conspiracy theories have to be crazy, because the left is not in control of any of the levers of power - not the media, not the government, not anything.

4. Here's something I wrote a couple years ago |
|
comparing Clinton conspiracies vs. Bush realities: http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/2002/06/18_Helicopters.htmlI have to laugh at my reference to Alan Keyes in this...but on his short-lived show, he did have some harsh criticisms of the Patriot Act. I guess he used to have somewhat lucid moments before he cracked completely.

11. That totally is the most effective |
|
Because by that alone, even IF by some amazing miracle our side began blasting them and using the actual words 'conspiracy theory' to describe their delusions, it'd just be chalked up to "that damn librul media"...:grr:

Sure -- most reporters and probably a plurality of editors lean left.
But -- most reporters and even most editors do not control what goes in the paper or program. Gannett, AOL Time Warner, News Corp., Tribune Media, Disney -- they do control what goes where. Do they really think for one minute those corporations lean left as well?

8. The one that comes to mind... |
|
is that the Democrats or the "Lib-bah-rulls" want to take all the guns away. In fact, it's the so called conservatives that want to gut the constitutions and remove freedoms, while the Dems are trying to reasonably look at the document in a way to apply freedoms to more people. Sure, have Democrats proposed legislation to limit assault weapons...yes. As someone who enjoys shooting for sport, I have no problem with limiting the types of weapons people can legally own, because I have never ever needed a fully automatic 50-cal machine gun to shoot clay pigeons or paper target. Still, as long as conspiracy nuts in the NRA spout off about having all the guns taken away and that the GOP are the only people to defend the right to own them, this shit will keep going on. Little do people realize that the Patriot Act will limit the Right to Bare Arms a lot more than the Brady Bill.

9. Let's see... "Roosevelt LIHOPed Pearl Harbor" |
|
Roosevelt LIHOPed Pearl Harbor the International Communist Conspiracy (all-powerful version) Unilateral Disarmament the Satan Conspiracy (see International Communist Conspiracy, but going right to the "source") One World Government New World Order (exept when they run it) the UN-as-Illuminati (see One World Government) the Secular Humanist Agenda the Homosexual Agenda the Feminist Agenda
and let's not forget the die-hards still holding grudges against: "the Anti-Christ" (known to most people as "the Pope"), and "international bankers" (code for "the Jews", not the WTO, World Bank, or other real sources of international financial abuse).

10. right-wing ideology is one big conspiracy theory |
|
Right-wing ideology tries to tell us that all government action is perpetuated by some shadowy elite in order to take away personal liberty and promote "socialism" or "communism." Thus, environmental laws, public education, minimum wage laws, workplace safety regulations, laws against discrimination and sexual harassment, a progressive income tax, and Social Security are all held to be evil by the right wing of the Republican Party. Any action taken by society for the common good is considered suspect and wrong, and viewed as a means of control by a mysterious powerful group that is variously named as the Jews, gays, atheists, or sometimes just the "liberal elite." Right-wing beliefs are predicated on a sense of persecution, suspicion, and grievance with the whole world. "They" are coming to take your guns and make you gay.

Wes Clark being the Clinton's stalking horse.
But I'll also note that there was a conspiracy theory out there that Clark was a Republican stalking horse, that he wasn't a "real" Democrat. I don't know who started those. Wait, I can think of one person.....hey, not all Democrats are perfect.
I believe the General has shown his colors: blood red, sparkling white, and true blue. :)

14. Biggest Repuke conspiracy of all time |
|
A cave dwelling geezer with kidney disease managed to launch the worst attack on American soil in an expertly timed series of plane crashes which he coordinated via carrier pigeon and Camel Express couriers, and through the providence of Allah himself, allowed a passport to survive a 2700 degree fire which reduced 2 110 story buildings to a pile of dust, just so the government of his mortal enemy, the "Great Satan" would know who to blame.
Pretty far out huh?

15. Libruls want to take their guns away. |
|
Libruls want to recruit their children into the "gay lifestyle" (to which I reply -- if that means going to work and helping the elderly neigbhor fix her roof and tending to their garden and their dogs like the guys across the street, recruit away).
Libruls want all men to be castrated (only a slight exaggeration).
Hilary killed Vince Foster and dozens of other people.
And, not really a conspiracy theory but lunatic nonetheless -- libruls are aborting their own future. See -- poor people and libruls are most likely to have abortions (so they say), so they're aborting potential Democratic voters. In 18 years, there will be a conservative majority due to our genocide.

That's another conspiracy -- we're intellectuals, remember? Therefore, we know everything. Or something.

16. There are lots of them. |
|
Quite a few are more generally right-wing than necessarily Republican, and some are fringe right-wing, but they exist.
"Gun control is a liberal plot to disarm America so we can't resist when the UN comes to impose one-world government."
"The Federal Reserve is controlled by Jewish bankers who take their orders from Israel."
et cetera.
I'm sure you've heard these before.

the fact that Iraqis were helping T. McVeigh and were actually the real actors behind the Okla City bombing because it would have ruined his chances for re-election. Ditto with the explosion of flight 800.

22. The Shitboat veterans, of course! |

where Kerry and his boatmates conspired to make Kerry into a war hero. Kerry's commanding officers also took part at the time, praising him in the official record, but later had a change of conscience during an election season. The Vietcong also were in on it, helping to see to it that Kerry was wounded but not actually killed.

The subtle stuff like this is going to be the end of us if we don't wise up to these methods. Despite obvious whoring, so many liberals I know still want to think of NPR as somehow 'different'. HA!
PBS is the same... When Gwen Ifil had Condi over for dinner, and then later when questioning her about whether she had read the intelligence estimate and Condi admitted that she in fact had NOT, Gwen just rolled on over that into another softball question.
:puke:
Look how well the 'subtle bias' tactic has worked so far! :grr:
Oh hell... the topic... well one that's kept really hushed but is widely thought down here, is that liberals are against white people.
:crazy:

Bill Clinton was involved in smuggling cocaine through the Mena airport (which is probably more tied to the Bushes than the Clintons, since it was allegedly the contras doing the smuggling).
