Apparently there are different standards depending on the candidate you support.  I posted a very reasonable poll asking about Donald Trump's spreading of STI's throughout his years of adultery and it was removed.

Yet the racists are free to post their more baseless conspiracy theories!

I think that all baseless conspiracy theories belong in the same trash bin. There does seem to be different standards, as the amount of anti-Clinton voodoo is really starting to clog up actual discussion.

"Stupid baseless conspiracy theories" documented in depth by the NY Times, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Business Insider, Independent Journal Review, etc. etc. etc. (Google "Russian Trolls Online" if you doubt any of these citations).

You see, one is a conspiracy theory, the other is well documented truth. Sorry.

Did any of those news articles specifically cover who started this hashtag? If they have then they've been conned hard and need to take good look at themselves as journalists.

Perhaps we're talking about two different things. Yes, if you check the google info I gave several of the same sources (e.g. the NYT) reported the supposedly Russian source of #Trumpwon! being a hoax. What I was referring to is the very real situation of the Russian government organizing web brigades to support pro-Russian viewpoints, and lately pro-Trump viewpoints in particular.

Yeah it's just a misunderstanding. The claims that there is a connection between Trump and Moscow definitely do have some meat to them. But this #TrumpWon okey-doke is ridiculous.
