'' The lying liberal liars are getting protection from the lying liberal media and other lying liberal liars because that’s all they have. Lies. When the facts aren’t on their side, liberals lie. Write it down. Count on it.''
On November 19, emails stolen from scientists at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England were leaked onto the web. Conservatives immediately claimed that these proved global warming to be a hoax and part of a worldwide conspiracy run by mad scientists who have quashed debate in order to institute a socialist, business-killing cap-and-trade policy. Thus was yet another conservative conspiracy theory in the age of Obama launched: “Climategate.” It’s getting hard to keep track of all of them.
''Global warming is a lie. Leaked e-mails from researchers around the world show a conspiracy to -- as one professor put it -- "hide the decline" in temperatures. That is right. Global warming "scientists" have known for years that temperatures are dropping. But they covered it up.
Among those in the know are Pennsylvania State University professor Michael Mann, who came up with Al Gore's "hockey stick" theory that because temperatures rose a little one year, they will rise forever, unbroken, amen.''
We have written in this space about the promotion of baseless beliefs regarding President Obama’s birth and the authorship of his books. And while much of the mainstream media continues to ignore the conspiratorial nature of contemporary conservative politics’ arguments, the true leaders of the conservative movement in America—Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the like—have been leading the charge for these conspiracies and many more.
Conservative websites and airwaves abound with conspiracy theories to the point where it becomes nearly a full-time job to merely keep up with the various and secretive forces seeking to undermine our country and turn us into—well, it’s never quite clear. Terrorists? Communists? Socialists? Gays? Whatever.
On his TV show on Monday, Glenn Beck, with the help of Andrew Breitbart of the website Big Government, reasserted that the White House had ordered union members to beat up anti-health care protestors at town hall meetings this summer. Joseph Farah, the editor of World Net Daily, asserted on Tuesday that President Obama “publicly supports ethnic cleansing in the Middle East against Jews.” And recent polls indicated that 52 percent of Republicans believe that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Barack Obama, who, by the way, according to nearly half of Republicans recently polled, was born in Kenya. (And hey, did you know ACORN caused the financial crisis? Don’t tell me Lou Dobbs would dare to mislead you about that.) http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/12/ta120309.html
