"Silly" Conspiracy Theories

Somehow I have to think that these same people*, who sneeringly dismiss any 9/11 conspiracy, would sing a diferent tune if Clinton were still president when 9/11 happened.

Certainly, right-wingers ate up all kinds of wild conspiracy theories about Bill and Hillary Clinton pre-9/11. And of course, many of these same people actually still blame Clinton for 9/11!

I'm not here to defend Clinton by any means-- and if he bears some responsibility for 9/11 (or for other acts of synthetic terror), so be it.

But please, let's take off our political blinders and not have a partisan double-standard for conspiracy theories.

Deep politics transcends partisanship, by and large.**

*Interestingly, while the right and some mainstream media went out of their way to ridicule Sheen, the left basically ignored Sheen. Not clear if lefties were afraid to say anything for fear of ridicule, or if they thought silence was the best way to squash 9/11 conspiracy theories.

**Of course, Democrats have a great deal invested in the official bin Laden-9/11 myth, perhaps even more than Republicans, since the latter have a very vague and malleable definition of terrorists.
