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?

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

That is against TOS. You are not supposed to get attacked via email either. You should report it.

The extremist left wing bloggers are long on emotion and short on facts. They do supply their willing prey with just enough facts to sway them to believe whatever far out notion that they are trying to convey. They rely upon "Stacking the Deck" propaganda. Look that up. It is a technique that is used where they only supply you with the facts that they want you to know, and leave out all facts that would give you a balanced view of a situation. Most of the "info" in your post is propaganda of this variety.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: It was NOT the Republicans who "discredited" Obama. It was Joseph Biden, who has 30+ years experience in foreign relations, and is HEAD of the Foreign Relations Committee, and the V.P. nominee of the DEMOCRATS. He KNOWS what will happen. MARK HIS WORDS. It is not necessary for the country to have to deal with a crisis of this magnitude if we simply elect a man who is NOT viewed by the world as inexperienced and weak.

You apparently pick choose and your " propaganda". If you play by your own "propaganda" rule, you would realize that is exactly what you are spreading all over this thread with the Biden statement. You know there is a lot of BS going around.

Joe Biden hasn't been writing any propaganda for the Republicans. He was speaking the truth, in an unscripted moment, he said what his knows, and what others have been worried about. When you are alone in that voting booth, no matter what you tell your friends, nobody will know who you vote for. Please think long and hard whether or not you are willing to put your country into this kind of danger unnecessarily.

I know that I lived through a NUCLEAR CRISIS under John F. Kennedy and don't want to see another one! I know that Khrushchev has stated that he perceived Kennedy as weak and because of this, he pushed. Joe Biden knows that an untested, inexperienced president will have his mettle tested in a very HUGE way. It is unnecessary for us to have to go through this if we don't elect Obama. Joe Biden has not been writing any propaganda for the Republicans. He knows what will happen. Those with foreign policy experience know what will happen, and those who lived through the last president who was perceived as "weak" know what will happen.

Hmmm, were the right wing bloggers who phonied up a Lobster receipt for Michelle Obama, being factual and logical???

Were the right wing bloggers who were totally taken in by the Ashley Todd hoax being logical ??

Are the right wing bloggers who persist in stating that Obama is a Muslim, educated in a Madrassa, being logical ?

Hmmmmmmmm

What about the right wing posters here who cut and paste the same tired old de-bunked lies from right wing site ? Are they being logical ?
