More "conspiracy-theorist" - Right or Left? (Limbaugh, health care, Obama)

[Dopo]

This is one of the topics that I've been wanting to talk about for a while.
I hear almost daily rightwingers talk about "leftists are conspiracy theorists"
And when they say all their crap, they call them facts.

Here's a few conspiracy theories, just off-the-top of my head:
- Sean Hannity: "... journalism is dead. There's been no tough questions for this guy (Obama)"
FOXNews.com - Ayers Audio Could Detail What Obama Knew - Hannity
- Sarah Palin: "The media wants me to shut up"
Palin To Limbaugh: Media Wants Me To "Shut Up" - Marc Ambinder (http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/10/palin_to_limbaugh_media_wants.php - broken link)
- Sarah Palin: "Obama's tax plan could mean nightmare communist state"
Palin: Obama's Tax Plans Could Mean Nightmare Communist State
- Gun sales surge after Obama's election
Gun sales surge after Obama's election - CNN.com

Rightwingers always think that there's 1 million boogiemen out to get them

good post and very true. There were a couple of threads about how universal health care was snuck into the stimulus bill at the last minute. It turned out to be totally false started by the right wing propoganda machine but it was enough to cause panic among the right wing nuts. I have never been so entertained in my life to watch these nuts.

They're insane. Probably with arrogance and disbelief. How in the WORLD did this upstart black man (only they would say, "black boy"--and, in fact, HAVE said it, on this very forum) become POTUS???? WE are the kings!!!! WE own the world!!!! How DARE he???? Exponential apoplexy. Before our very eyes.

Insanity. There's seriously no other word for it.
