and one of their main tactics is to create conspiracy theories about Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden. Hence the endless accusations that they have done all this to bring down Obama, that Snowden is a spy for Russia, that Greenwald is doing all this so he can write a book (that is, I think, the most ignorant, anti-intellectual claim I've see DUers dare to make - as if books are a bad thing written by bad people), or that The Guardian is a secret front for the British intelligence services, who are trying to hurt Obama (yes, that really has been put forward by a DUer). When Morales' plane was force to land, they came up with endless accusations that it was all made up by Morales, and Tarheel_Dem revealed himself as a racist who hates Latin Americans in general.

Seriously, the unbelievable conspiracy theories are put forward by the Obama-can-do-no-wrong brigade. The down-with-the-NSA brigade are just repeating a realistic military-industrial-complex story, which has been highly credible since President Eisenhower stated it over 50 years ago.

9/11 CTs have had significant DU support since both you and I have been here, and it is most obvious every Sept 11th. Just like the theories about who killed JFK come out every November, and will be especially prominent this 50th anniversary.
