What do you make of the right-wing paranoia? Is it pervasive enough to take seriously? How do you make sense of conservatives concerns about how to take care of their families if Obama becomes president?

As it becomes more and more clear that Obama is likely to win the conservatives are becoming more desperate. They need avenues to vent and a Conspiracy Theory feels that void.

But the whole idea is so implausible. Yet, somehow they are able to rationalize it by believing the conspiracy is real and anyone who doesn’t see it is blind.

Help me out here, is they any way to diplomatically and realistic address this stuff? Are they any conservatives out there who agree that it’s bunk?

>>By Klaus Rohrich Tuesday, October 21, 2008

In October 1962 the film The Manchurian Candidate was released to rave reviews. Directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Harvey, the film was about a nefarious plot that involved brainwashing, an assassin with a post-hypnotic trigger and a conspiracy to deliver the US presidency into the hands of foreign enemies whose plan it was to destroy the country from within. Eventually cracks began to appear in the plot and in the end the evildoers met their just rewards.

Fast-forward 46 years into this year’s presidential contest between Barack Obama and John McCain. Out of nowhere Barack Obama appears on the scene full-blown and manages to snatch the democratic nomination from Hilary Clinton, despite his complete lack of experience in both domestic as well as foreign policy. In fact, Barack Obama’s experience is so thin that it isn’t even possible to ascertain exactly what he stands for, given that he voted ‘present’ on over 130 Senate bills.

Yet the mainstream media have embraced Obama as the Messiah, the Chosen One, the One Who Will Bring About Hope and Change. No matter that there is no voting record or even a clear history of Obama’s activities since graduation, save and except that he was a ‘community organizer’. Most candidates for political office including those running for dogcatcher of Gnarled Gulch, Montana face close scrutiny by the electorate and especially the media.

But it appears that no amount of subterfuge and skullduggery with which Barack Obama is associated, is enough to raise any questions about his suitability to hold the highest office in the land. Call me paranoid, but suppose there is a vast left-wing conspiracy to take over the United States, there wouldn’t be a better time to do it than now and it seems that there’s no better candidate to do it than Barack Obama. << cont’d

I know you think it is funny, but one of those who was bringing it on per Bush's chiding killed a friend of mine in Baghdad.

Are you suggesting that 9/11 wasn't a test for Bush?

Logic? The statement came from Joe Biden...36 years in the Senate...Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee...sits on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security...and chosen by the Obamessiah to be his VP to make up for his foreign policy inexperience. Are you saying that it's "illogical" to believe the man Barry chose because of his experience?

>>> Cause the last I heard Al-Queda wanted McCain to win so they could ensure we bankrupted ourselves fighting them. Wouldn't that count as a test?

Nah...four years ago they endorsed Kerry and it hurt him, so this time they're trying reverse-psychology. On the other hand, Hezbollah and Iran also support Obama...says a lot.

>>> Oh right, so that would be Palin. Who 'palls around' with secessionists.

No, there's no evidence that Palin has ever been friends with a terrorist, an America-hater or a racist...that distinction belongs to Obama...um...and perhaps Obama Bin Laden. It's true that her husband was a member of the AIP but he was never an active member and the groups website doesn't cite secession as a goal of the organization.

It obviously was a test OF Bush's leadership...and he passed with flying colors...but no, Al Qaeda wasn't specifically testing Bush personally. Biden, on the other hand, has said our enemies would specifically test Obama because he's perceived as naive and inexperienced...and that his response would be wrong.

If it doesn't say the Reagan single-handedly ended the cold war it is a left wing book.

No, it's Michelle Obama. I know the real Barry and I'm trying to get the word out and warn people.
