Hillzilla’s file and McCain’s file were also accessed.

But then so were Britney Spears’ medical records of her recent hospitalizations. Does some muffinhead blame GWB’s administration for THAT as well!?

Good grief Charley Brown!

“The State Department investigation of improper computer access to passport records of three presidential candidates is focusing on one remaining employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama….The third employee, who has not been fired, worked for The Analysis Corporation (TAC), which is headed by John O. Brennan, a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. Obama’s presidential campaign on intelligence and foreign policy.

The TAC employee is the only individual to have accessed both Mr. Obama’s and Mr. McCain’s passport information without proper authorization, a State Department spokesman said. That employee, who was not named, triggered an electronic alarm system, officials familiar with the probe said.”

Yet according to tHePeOPle:

“Calling “conspiracy” today is a way of trashing your opponent and relegating whatever they’re questioning to the garbage, no matter the validity. This is ridiculous, because in the course of reasoned, rational thought, it’s often necessary to ask such seemingly odd or conspiratorial sounding questions. It forces you to think in different ways and reach conclusions you might not have thought of otherwise.”

Also, the guy’s “conspiracies proved true” were laughable. For instance, the CIA selling crack has been debunked thoroghly. The coke was being shipped and sold by contract employees and proprietary airlines with CIA connections. But to say that actual employees of the US government were profiting from the drug trade is ridiculous. The CIA used drug smugglers to get guns to the contras because, well, who else were they going to use, FedEx? To smuggle guns in that part of the world you use smugglers. And people like Gene Hassenfuss smuggled everything from drugs and guns to blue jeans.

It’s disturbing how calling “conspiracy” has become the shorthand version of sticking your fingers in your ears and repeating “I’m not listening to you.” over and over.

Calling conspiracy is a cop-out. It essentially ends debate during the exploratory reasoning process. Sometimes there is a conspiracy.

The Tuskegee Experiment was a conspiracy theory, until it was proved true.

The CIA trafficking cocaine was a conspiracy theory, until it was proved true.

Extraordinary Rendition was a conspiracy theory, until it was proved true.

The US Overthrowing Democratically Elected Governments is a conspiracy that’s been proved time and time again.

George W. Bush attempting to incite a Palestinian civil war was a conspiracy theory until it was proved true.

US funding terrorists in Iraq so they won’t blow us up was a conspiracy until it was proved true.

The temptation to shut people down by calling “Conspiracy!” is great. It’s a fast and painless way to embarrass your opponent and dismiss what they’re saying. Sometimes instant dismissal is valid, sometimes it’s not. It would seem to me though that reasoned, rational thought requires exploring all lines of questioning, even those easily dismissed at first.

I agree that this is a non-story, but when bloggers find conspiracies, that’s also a non-story. Shoot any fish in a barrel lately, Rick?

This clearly shows that he has realy something realy bad to hide there.

Maybe a recent travel to some Muslim country, where he made negociations with his Muslim brothers for bringing a Muslim takeover of USA and the introduction of a worldwide Sharia Law.

And i am also sure it has something to do with his well hidden Muslim background.

USA and the rest of the world is in serious danger and doomed, when he comes into power.

Like adding two more passports and making a small shelter for a tiny toy dog. Or skimming it across a tiled floor. Or snicker over a really bad photo. Or taking a magic marker and drawing a mustache on Obama’s face (Laura always get’s a kick out of that one).
