The right wing have more conspiracy theories than a junkyard dog has fleas . . . and the number keeps growing. No wonder we call it insaniTEA!
Donald Trump claims thousands of Muslims in New Jersey rejoiced as the Twin Towers fell during the 9/11 attacks. He says he knows this because he saw it in the news, a magical news that no one else but Ben Carson saw, although Ben Carson now says oh wait, no he didn’t. So Trump is alone on this one, and I have a theory as to why: It never happened. Like 99 percent of the crap that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth (and Donald Trump’s garbage Twitter feed!), it’s just something he made up as he went along. Trump knows his followers love red meat almost as much as they love attacking black and Latino people (though not quite that much), so he throws it to them with regularity. The truth be damned.
These kinds of conspiracy theories are par for the course in the GOP these days. Muslim no-go zones, Benghazi, gun confiscations, FEMA concentration camps, yadda, yadda, yadda, the list goes on and on. Just throw Trump’s totally fabricated cheering jihadist Muslims on top of the pile, right between a million “false flags” and unopened boxes of Manchurian candidates.
While we’re talking conservative conspiracy theories let’s, well, talk conservative conspiracy theories. A roundup is below. And it’s just the teeniest, tiniest tip of the iceberg.
Click through for just 5 of these conservative conspiracy theories. I know I am posting this, but I think I'm going to be ill!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
AlterNet: What scares me, is that when Trump speaks, people listen and believe his made up rhetoric, and over the top lying.
Jade Helm: The weather, traffic, flyovers in helos, and of course, Walmart being turned into stockpile area was a constant plethora of concern for my Texas neighbors, and outright indignation/blame over the military even being here for training. It was actually funny listening to some making up their conspiracy theories. I didn't go, but heard about the charade at the courthouse here.
Pat Robertson needs to retire. I believe that God told him that, on good faith. 🙂
Thanks, Lynn.
I've read through one of Donald Trump's myriad of lies and five of the equally myriad of conservative conspiracy theories and I'm absolutely knackered. And I think that's exactly the point: to tire out the sane and make them give up trying to refute these right wing lies and conspiracy theories. I don't know why we bother; even a micro cephalic knows these lies and stories for what they are and still there will be people who will want to believe them and spread them about. Good luck to them and may sanity prevail.
Inspector Goosestep had a nervous breakdown.
PS. This was goinf to be my main article.
Drama queens, yes. But I think a lot of projection goes into most of these. People who feel that they are losing power they once had, and whose fear spills over into hate, consciously or unconsciously or subconsciously think "What would I do if I had the power? Hey, that must be what the libruls are doing!" Which is said, but doesn't give us any clues on how to bridge the gap between our wanting to benefit everyone and those who can't get their heads out of "If I'm going to be one up, you have to be one down."
Trump: pathetic fibber on Muslims cheering 9/11 in New Jersey.
Phyllis Schafly: demented, out of touch with reality.
Pamela Gellar: spinner of very tall tales.
Pat Robertson: another person who suffers from dementia. needs to shut his mouth.
Walmart: it just plain sucks.
Earth Day: Earth is where we all live on. It is our only Planet. Save Earth!
Drama Queens – hardly… they are all "something else". lol!!
I have a petition concerning Donny's LIES under POLITICS .My husband's plane was the last plane to land at LaGuardia on 9/11 before all planes were grounded.We lived in San Jose but he was working out of Seattle so his office called me at 6am PCS time and I was watching the news as an employee of his told me he was safe and on the ground. I watched the news constantly for the next few months and I particularly watched Fox News where you know I would have seen the worst possible.I watched the news starting at 4am every morning BEFORE 9/11 on Fox TV because: A) my husband worked in Seattle and we lived in San Jose and I couldn't sleep well without him so I turned the TV off at 8pm and tucked our youngest in next to me on those days he commuted (she was 6) and by 9/11 I was making 60+ afghans for Christmas so I'd wake very early and crochet for 4 hours before taking the kids to school. My husband was there from the first minute.It took him a week to get home. He shuttled between New Jersey and La Guardia to track down rumors of flights for the West Coast. He is also a Hindu.He was trailed-just in case.He didn't mind.He wanted to get home safely just like everyone else. But Trump is inciting to riot. By lying and retelling the lie,he makes the vulnerable believe. And a liar and an arrogant braggart does not make a good leader.Even Putin must feel shame.
Of course, all of these are absurd, but remember, a lot of people only get their news from Faux and other right wing conspiracy groups. Even the supposedly valid news stations have their biases, I can hardly stand CNN these days. This is what worries me, that people hear the same lies over and over and believe them. The dumbing down of America has worked out very well.
