Sick of Republicans calling this a Conspiracy Theory |
|
I've talked to a few Republicans about the fraud that occured in this election and I keep hearing "conspiracy theory" thrown back as a response. Please, this story is way past the point of being a conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theories do not warrant congressional investigation. Conspiracy theories do not get hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into them for recounts and fraud audits. Conspiracy theories do not have significant amounts of circumstantial evidence linked to them, validating their authenticity.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a fact that Republicans and the media are trying to cover up, as though it were one. Keep fighting the good fight everyone (and thank goodness for Bev Harris).

They don't worry because they don't think we liberal can do anything about it.

3. Just another way of saying |
|
"get over it." Republicans are always wary of scrutiny, Chimp's avoidance of a 911 commission for example. The irony is that, when it comes to Democratic concerns, it is dismissed as a conspiracy, where, I suspect, truth would show a true machination. In the reverse, such as the Clinton impeachment, the truth would demonstrate a conspiracy with no factual support.

They conspired to steal the election. They conspired to orchestrate 9/11. That word has gotten a bad rap. It's just being used as a way of dismissing serious and disturbing events. Just like the word "liberal", we need to stop the negative use and conotation of the phrase.

5. exactly! well said, too... |
|
but do you have any idea how to do it?
I like to point out that even the "Official Story of 9/11" involves a huge conspiracy -- unless you believe 19 guys just happened to hijack 4 planes on the same morning without any planning or organization or anything ... OF COURSE it was a conspiracy! Everybody believes that, whether they want to admit it or not ... But: How can we use this fact to our advantage?
Anyone have any good ideas?

6. well, the media isn't on our side.. |
|
they have helped drill such notions into the average sheep's head. It will be hard to reverse it, but we have to try. I use "neocon" in a very negative way as much as possible to counteract the negativity conveyed by "liberal". Instead of "liberal", I use "progressive", there's no way they can use that word in a negative way.
As for 9/11, I just mention it as a scam whenever discussing it. People are starting to realise it I think.

it will be that much more difficult for them to take it seriously when it hits the big time.

11. You Have To Understand |
|
The Repubs have not done their homework and barely know anyyyyyy of the details that we do, so to them, all they can do is call it a conspiracy theory because they haven't read a damn article to tell them otherwise. I'm amazed at how little they know about what is going on behind their backs right now.
Even this weekend my sis and bro in law were over for my sons 1st bday. They are both huge repubs. They tried to debate me and I just simply told them 'listen, you have no ground to stand on to debate with me right now. You have not seen the facts, researched the facts, analyzed the facts, or in any way made yourselves aware of the facts involved with the aftermath of this election, therefore we are not on equal ground. Go actually read the vast information on this election now available, then I will carry on this debate'
They didn't know a thing about anything. Until these repubs actually do the research, my advice would be to simply not even argue. They are not on the same ground as we are. Until they know the facts, and argument is worthless. (For example, imagine back when they first discovered the earth was round, trying to argue with someone who hadn't yet read the report about how we now knew it was round. Sure, they'd debate, but would they be on the same ground as someone who did in fact read the report?)
