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

Your statement has nothing to do with being logical or illogical, it's just simply untrue. The bloggers' comments are totally based on emotion. Stating the Republicans approach discrediting Obama with untruths is based on the emotions paranoia, which can also be a mental disorder, and desperation. This supposed is completely emotional. Besides, what is so logical about the Sarah Palin choice? What is so logical about McCains' undisciplined campaign. What is logical about us going to Iraq on a false premise and thousands of US soldiers fighting and dieing. There is nothing logical about the greed (which is a sin and an emotion) this administration has allowed to run ramped (i.e. Halliburton and the oil companies,) so his cronies could abscond with money that 1. tax dollars could have been put to better use in keeping jobs in the US and 2. and has now put a great burden on the you and me, the American people. The Republicans are illogical when I pick up the paper and read about seemingly out of control rallies allowing racism to rear it ugly head. The whole idea of this Republican administration running the government the past 8 years on logic is simply laughable. Finally, what I find totally illogical after the last 8 years, is how anyone could support the republican party. I hope I cleared this up for you.

Yeah...yeah...that's it.

I think we all get that if you could back up your arguments with facts, you would. That you didn't pretty much says it all.

I also laughed at his post. He doesn't get it. He asked what was so wrong about his statement. So I told him. Maybe you can add a few of your thoughts on the matter. Review response 255.

After all Osama Bin Ladens family are good friends with the Bushes. Now that GBs' White House days are numbered, the next Pres. will actually care about finding Osama.

I'm jealous. Because Calif. is in the Obama "bag", I don't get the robocalls. I had to hear them off the Political Carnival website. These guys have B*lls the size of basketballs to make such absurd statements.
