RE: Latest conspiracy theory on Sandy Hook
January 26, 2013 at 8:54 pm
Fun fact, apparently one of my uncles in Wisconsin has become one of these. When confronted with the news, I asked "Why stop at claiming that Sandy Hook and Aurora were faked by Barack Obama? Why not claim that Bill Clinton was behind Coumbine? Or that Jimmy Carter made Brenda Ann "I don't like Mondays" Spencer shoot those kids down in San Diego? Or that LBJ made Charles Whitman go into that belltower?" My mother said simply "because it's not Obama!"
For what it's worth, even if these events were orchestrated by the government to take away guns, I honestly wouldn't have guessed that it would work; people are killed by guns every day in America and there have been hundreds of mass shootings in America since Howard Unruh shot and killed 13 acquaintances on September 6, 1949. What would two new faked shootings have accomplished?

This isn't about guns, it should be, but it isn't. This is about the "out group" losing an ellection.

That is, well.... I just find it very disgusting.
One can notice how during the Bush administration the conspiracy nuts were more to the left frindge and how now they are more to the right frindge.
