I don’t want to get in a google search link war but there were just as many
conspiracy theories about Bush the past 8 years. Maybe the lefties learned well from the Clinton conspiracies in the 90’s. But to say that what we are hearing from Rush, Beck and others is anything new or earth-shattering is laughable.

It’s not so much teh crazy as the size of the audience and the influence of the talking head. Rush and Beck are, like it or not mainstream “Conservative” at this point, with a wide impact. The crazies on the left never had the committed media following that those two do.
