Benjamin Franklin Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Interesting article. Sad survey. People love conspiracies and are dumb enough to believe them. Maybe the worst is how many people of both parties buy in to "Vaccines cause autism" and the US government planned 9/11. But of course all the other usual suspects are there too: Pizza gate, birther, etc. Edited December 29, 2016 by Benjamin Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Candidate preference seems to mean more than age, education and political interest when it comes to which of these conspiracies someone is likely to believe. Or which conspiracies you believe means more than age, education, and political interest when it comes to which candidate you prefer. It's a correlative relationship, not a causal one.

B-Man Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Conspiracy believers democrats please repeat after me: Wikileaks leaking John Podesta's embarrassing emails is not "election hacking." Reminder: "email hacking" takes 3 fewer characters than "election hacking.", but that's not what the average democrat wants to hear. YouGov poll: 52% of Democrats believe Russia tampered with the vote totals to get Trump elected president Edited December 30, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly frequent the crazy sites. How's autism linked to vaccines? That one you like? 9-11 inside job? Kennedy? You're the king of conspiracies--you believe a million wacky tin foil hat things. I am concerned about the people who just buy the echo chamber conspiracies like pizza gate and how they might grow up to follow guys like you.

You certainly frequent the crazy sites. How's autism linked to vaccines? That one you like? 9-11 inside job? Kennedy? You're the king of conspiracies--you believe a million wacky tin foil hat things. I am concerned about the people who just buy the echo chamber conspiracies like pizza gate and how they might grow up to follow guys like you. sure, the signal to noise ratio is extremely high. however that is by design, don't you think? disinformation is real and has a role to play in a multitude of ways. whether it is it's primary purpose to obfuscate or one of it's lessor objectives to put out real truth, the purposes are multi-layered. your concerned about people who buy into the echo chamber? i'm sorry but you must look at the other side of that coin. the folk who believe in conspiracies are far outweighed by those who are continually hoodwinked by those who, shall we say, really don't have your best interests at heart. this has been proven time after time throughout history. to ignore this fact is tantamount to an ostrich sticking their head in the sand. further, you denigrate by stigmatizing with, "wacky tin foil hat things". i'm pretty positive that, at the time, those conspiracy facts that DR posted were considered 'wacky' before they were discovered to be true. are you denying any of the conspiracy facts DR posted as being true? I can certainly post a multitude more if you'd like. they go way back in American History. is there some other covert reason why you seem opposed to truth? conspiracy theories are only that... till they're not.

Tiberius Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The girl was not under the age of 15, as the initial reports said, but nearly 17 when she first reached out to Weiner, the report said. She and her family were also not Clinton supporters, as the girl claimed in a letter published by BuzzFeed, according to social media posts unearthed by the website. “Seeing that Weiner is both a repeat offender — his sexting addiction cost him his job in Congress as well as a shot at becoming mayor of New York — and associated with one of the most important people in Clinton’s inner circle, it is conceivable that this was a set-up from the beginning, with the objective of embarrassing the Clinton campaign,” the report reads. http://thehill.com/homenews/news/334511-report-girl-in-weiner-sexting-case-lied-to-damage-clinton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) speaking of conspiracy theories... would the Main Stream Morons perpetuating the Russian Hacking/Collusion with the Trump campaign be considered such? i mean... they have absolutely no evidence, at all. yet they continue to push the stories hard. wacky tin foil hat crap for sure....
