The Year In Paranoia: The Five Craziest Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories Of 2014

Some more entertaining reading.

How many of these were NOT discussed here on ECCIE?

NOTE: I ran across this blog and found it pretty funny. No monkeys were made in the composition of this thread!

Let's get this lynch mob started, boys and girls!

2014 was a great year for conspiracy theorists running for office, but these extreme politicians couldn’t do it without the help of a conservative media bent on pushing outlandish conspiracy theories from the fringe into the mainstream. Here, gleaned from our weekly Paranoia-Rama, are the conspiracy theories that shaped the year.

Immigration Insanity

While the temporary increase in unaccompanied child migrants coming to the southern border this summer has since subsided, the children fleeing violence in Central America provoked a year’s worth of fear mongering and conspiracy theories from conservative commentators and politicians.

One member of Republican National Committee speculated that the children were actually anti-American “warriors” who would soon “rise up against us,” an anti-immigrant activist suggested that they were child soldiers bent on waging war against the U.S., and Phyllis Schlafly and Alex Jones told their audiences to start worrying about becoming slaves to immigrants.

Republican members of Congress came up with their own conspiracy theories. Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama accused Democrats of using immigration as part of the party’s “war on whites,” Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas said Democrats planned to turn the child migrants into illegal voters, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota warned that the government would use the immigrant children “to do medical experimentation” and a whole host of GOP politicians falsely claimed that the child migrants were carrying Ebola, a disease that has still not infected a single known person in Central America or Mexico.

Ebola Ebola Ebola

Is anyone surprised that conservatives cynically turned a disease ravaging West Africa into a political attack on Democrats and immigration from Latin America? Republican officials and conservative pundits went as far as to suggest that President Obama would deliberately infect Americans, including military service members, with the disease as part of his nefarious, Big Government agenda, or to further his purported goal of punishing America.

What Turned The Kids Gay This Year?

The right-wing adage that gay people “cannot reproduce so they must recruit” children is still alive and well, and this year many anti-gay conservatives continued to worked overtime to propagate the homosexual recruitment myth. Televangelist Pat Robertson warned that Hollywood is turning children gay through “girl-on-girl movies,” while radio host Kevin Swanson said movies like “Frozen” are trying to “indoctrinate my five-year-old to be a lesbian.”

Gordon Klingenschmitt, a televangelist who was recently elected to the Colorado state legislature, said a Senate bill sponsored by Sen. Al Franken would “require pedophilia in all public schools” and “require pro-gay child recruiting.” He even hosted a whole show about how parents should avoid interactions with “a gay” lest he “recruit” their kids. Conservatives also railed against Common Core and other education efforts by warning that they would turn kids gay.

Gay Nazism

Religious Right leaders who hope to criminalize homosexuality and strip LGBT people of marriage rights and antidiscrimination protections are pretty sure that conservatives are the real victims of oppression. And they not afraid to use absurd historical analogies to prove their point.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins charged that gay rights supporters are getting ready to “start rolling out the boxcars to start hauling off Christians” to concentration camps, Rick Santorum feared “reeducation camps” for gay rights opponents and pastor Scott Lively claimed gay people are using against conservatives “the same ‘blood libel’ used against the Jews by the Nazis.”

Others drew comparisons to slavery and Jim Crow, with Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association alleging that gay people have become “our new slave masters” who will “send us to the hole if we refuse the massa’s demands” and “Trunews” host Rick Wiles warning that Americans “will be saves” to the newly powerful “homosexuals and sodomites.” Wiles even said that gay people in America may soon realize Adolf Hitler’s dream of creating a “race of super gay male soldiers” who are determined to “slaughter” Christians.

Cliven Bundy Hysteria

Becoming vocal cheerleaders for Cliven Bundy — a Nevada rancher and anti-government extremist who refused to obey several court orders to pay decades of back grazing fees — may not have been the best idea for Republican politicians and Fox News pundits. Even Glenn Beck seemed horrified by the racist and violent messages coming from the Bundy ranch.

Bundy’s supporters, however, insisted that the government was using the Bundy standoff as a way to prepare for “civil war,” “mass graves,” “FEMA camps,” “tyranny” and “jihad.” After all, Bundy said that God was on his side.

Following IB's illogic, the overwhelming silence from the RWWs here must mean that they still believe these things.

Always interesting to see what gets ignored and what generates a stampede of lemmings.

Again, you deflect and attempt to hijack the thread with foolish dodges, lies and strawmen.

Where did you get reliable information that "the lefties came to believe that W sent Katrina into New Orleans?" You don't believe anybody could be that stupid, do you? Maybe you do.

Why not start your own thread and hijack it yourself? There's already enough stupid RWWturd silliness in the OP.

Again, you deflect and attempt to hijack the thread.

Why not prove that the "lefties came to believe that W sent Katrina into New Orleans?"

But do it in another thread, please. There's already enough stupid RWWturd silliness in the OP.

Hijack your own thread, asshole. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

IBHypocrite at his finest.

This board is filled with post whining about "where were all you when Bush was being criticized?" Remember those you pathetic hypocrite. Go look at the KJU discussion of only a few days ago. Was I the one making that argument? Why no, it was the RWWs like you. I don't even post here often because it is infested by hypocritical liars like you. But in typical fashion you spin, you dodge, you lie.

Speaking of lies, go back and check your facts. When Katrina was a timely topic I spoke up positively about Bush far more than negatively. The ones I attacked as incompetent were the local Good Ol' Boys bumpkins of Louisiana. If it wasn't for the feds and the military it would have been far worse along the GC.

Typical IB. Can't handle the truth, doesn't want to be shown to have been wrong, and sure as he'll won't admit he was suckered by RWW paranoia.

I'm sure you will now spew out more homophobic rants and self-delusional lies, but that's OK, you are IBBlithering and we don't expect anything else from you.

Carry on. Every lie you post gets you closer to 15000. You can do it, even though the world will be more polluted for it.

Donele Edwards, co-chair of the National Black Environmental Justice Network (NBEJN), September 2005, laid the specific blame at the doorstep of the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps, she charged, "deliberately designed the floodwaters to go into the 9th Ward," of New Orleans.

Just as I said. You are so simple minded and predictable.
