(8,812 posts)I have legitimate questions about key events surrounding the acquisition and maintenance of power and influence in this country, therefore it logically follows that I must buy into some crackpot theory about the moon landing.

I opposed the illegal invasion of Iraq, therefore I must have been a Saddam apologist.
I disagree with many of the President's policies, therefore I must be on Karl Rove's personal payroll.
I believe that drone strikes on civilians are illegal and inhumane, therefore I must be Rand Paul's biggest supporter.
I oppose Hillary Clinton's unapologetic hawkish neo-liberalism, therefore I am obviously a misogynist.

Etc, etc.
