Wasn't this guy a communist? His favorite books were Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Kinda conflicting, eh?

After reading some of the stupidity posted in this thread you would seriously think that some people believed that.

Uh? I was being serious. Why do you hate America?
Have you ever applied for a green card? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Im not sure what your trying to insinuate. Again, I ask you, why do you hate the country you live in?
before they ran off and said that all Muslims were evil?
When would that ever be a viable position?Surely said:before they ran off and said that all Muslims were evil?
Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic. I don't hate America. I actually quite enjoy living here. What I can't stand are people who refuse to wait before all the facts are known to start using a tragedy to further their point of view. Wasn't it just a year or so ago at the Fort Hood shootings where everyone was urged to keep a level head and wait for all the facts to come out before they ran off and said that all Muslims were evil? So why is the Tea Party getting blasted for what some insane person did? Where is the call for keeping a level head and waiting for the facts?
A few issues here. There are probably very few conspiracy theories that are totally true. Some events are unanswerable and conspiracy theories fill in the answers that people need to reconcile randomness. Those who readily consume conspiracy theories want to and need to psychologically. They are like addictions. Once you buy into one, it is easier to buy into the second. Most people who believe one theory, believe most.
The words of Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik should resonate for us all:
"The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on this country is getting to be outrageous. The vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business ... This has not become the nice United States that most of us grew up in. It's not unusual for all public officials to get threats constantly, myself included. That's the sad thing about what's going on in America: Pretty soon we're not going to be able to find reasonable decent people willing to subject themselves to serve in public office.''

Indeed.
...Pretty soon we're not going to be able to find reasonable decent people willing to subject themselves to serve in public office.
It is ironic, but you and I both know, there really is no difference between the two sides..other than political leanings. Methods, actions, fringe groups, etc. are all the same across the board.
