No, really. Just ask Andrew Sullivan (see also The Weekly Standard and Legal Insurrection).
This is the curse of every person who enjoys conspiracy theories
It doesn’t always happen, thank God, but it happens too often.

[*See what I did there, Andrew? I made a reference to something Jewish. That's because I'm a neocon, and thus obligated to honor my Zionist masters. I'm pointing it out because... it's a fiendishly clever plot! But you know better; oh, yes, you can see right through all those tricksy and sly Jewish schemes.]
**The stages go like this:
- Stage One: Well, that’s odd. A tentative foray into what may be in fact not conspiracy thinking, but merely heretical scholarship. Many respectable scholars flirt with this stage, and some seem to delight in flaunting their embrace of it; their more staid colleagues are usually indulgent.
- Stage Two: Embracing the Crazy. This is full-bore crank territory, and is typically accompanied by more enthusiasm than rationality. Sufferers are usually disliked for it inside their field, but are often not particularly discriminated against outside of it.
- Stage Three: It’s all because of the Jews. Irreversible. Incurable. At absolute best, rather sad.

civil truth (Diary) Friday, June 19th at 7:58PM EST (link)“Mel Gibson was forced into retirement for saying one night while drunk what Andrew Sullivan writes every day while sober.”
Nailed him!
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

I blame my people for allot....... really.
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Friday, June 19th at 10:25PM EST (link)First and foremost, I blame my people for Gefilte Fish.
Never caught one. Never even seen one in the wild, in an aquarium, or on any of the weekend shows on the sports channels.
Second, I blame every Jewish Aunt and Grandmother who ever existed for starting the trend of calling their little ones “bubbies”. They had and still have no idea how deathly embarrassing that is – 23 years old and your Aunt calls you “bubbie” in front of your girlfriend.
I can go on and on and on…….. but…………

There's another stage past those
cirby Saturday, June 20th at 1:19AM EST (link)Once you hit a certain level of conspiracy philosophy, there’s a possibility to move to the next (and hopefully final) one:
That’s when you realize that there ARE conspiracies, among pretty much any group you can name. Lots and lots of them. People DO get together and plan grand strategies, figuring out ways to get advantages over the everyday schmo.
The thing is… they can’t get anything done. Useful conspiracies (especially the large-scale, Grand Plot sorts) tend to have only three or four members, at most, and that’s just not enough people to get Big Schemes implemented. They have to let other people in, and that’s when the new guys either give away the secret or screw up so badly the plot can’t work.
Then you have to allow for the fact that for every group of schemers who want to (for example) fluoridate your eye drops so the mind control rays work better, there’s another, corresponding group who’s busily trying to get listening devices installed in your Wi-Fi router, which jams the mind control rays, but the fluoride screws up the listening devices. So they cancel each other out.
See? Simple.
Ah, yes, the Electronic Thumb example.

In that series, half the galaxy’s electronics engineers work on new ways to jam it, and the other half work on new ways to jam the jamming signals.
IOW, point taken, but it’s more an alternative Stage 3.

Husker (Diary) Saturday, June 20th at 10:03AM EST (link)Obviously, Reverend Jeremiah Wright received his. Those Jooooooooooo’s wouldn’t let him see the president.
The Zionist conspirators have their own super secret “Klein Klub” echo chamber to hash out their next plan for world domination. I believe they call it JewnoList.

What I've never understood about these Insidious Zionist Conspiracies...
Moe Lane (Diary) Saturday, June 20th at 10:16AM EST (link)…is that they’re always so disapproving in tone. I mean, seriously: if there was a secret Jewish cabal running the USA, I would be forced to say that generally we’re doing quite well for ourselves out of the arrangement.

As I've said for years
Adjoran (Diary) Saturday, June 20th at 4:52PM EST (link)There was NEVER any reason to read Andrew Sullivan.
For a time there, he was a hero to the Short Pants Brigade at NRO as a gay “libertarian” who was temporarily pro-War On Terror and pro-Iraq invasion. He was NEVER a real conservative, though, and the minute his limited attention shifted to “gay marriage,” he immediately ditched all his former positions if they were shared by those who opposed his new reason for living his dissolute life.
