Why do RW'ers call us Conspiracy Theorists? |
|
Did you know that there have been more investigations regarding the death of Vince Foster than 9/11?

To deny the proof. Just like with the whole JFK assisination. And remember when Bush gave his speech on the 9/11 events he told the people not to believe in consperiacy theory's? So people can deny the truth. Just scream "consperiacy theory!" and you don't have to believe.

4. RW'ers are also but conspiracy theorists, but their "theories" |
|
almost have no base. Especially when it comes to the "Liberul Media".

9. Thats because the right wingers are usually looking for things |
|
like Russian troops hiding in the salt mines of Detroit waiting for the time the UN tells them to and to rise up and take over the country.

6. Because they believe everything is a "coincidence"- pretty silly, huh? |

Ask your right-wing friend which belief is more silly:
Every chain of events is a random coincidence- or can chains of events be the result of planning?

They marginalize any argument by calling the theory "conspiracy" based. The conspiracy label itself questions the validity of the argument. A theory can't be considered invalid unless the logic or information can be disproven. Once those hurdles are met, the conspiracy aspect is a matter of motive and planning. It may be harder to prove planning (and that would be the hardest thing to prove) than motive. There could be more than one possible motives. The basic reason for calling us "conspiracy theorist's" is to cast doubt on anything we have to say. What we present are theories. There may or may not be conspiracies behind them, but we can't prove that without more investigation.

anything that goes against what the kool-aid tells them to believe has to be some loony conspiracy theory, no matter how many facts are presented to back it up. Any viewpoint that casts the Chimp* in anything other than a perfect light is "looney conspiracy crap" to them.
