Glenn Beck Says He Has Proof There Is Government Coverup On Boston Bombing

[DrScholl]

why are people so sensitive to suggestions of a conspiracy/coverup?  it isn't tantamount to claiming nobody legitimately suffered as a result.

Some people have a low tolerance for craziness and furthermore, a lot of conspiracy theories are made up to get attention and exploit tragedy in the process.

[DrScholl]

nobody exploits the event with greater potency than those who develop the official narrative.

It isn't fiction, it's real life, there is no narrative. So far, we have no clue as to motive or reasoning and nothing is official yet.

And if there was a grand conspiracy, wouldn't the grand conspirators be a lot more, I don't know, secretive? If there conspirators are as devious and powerful as the conspiracy theorists claim, there wouldn't be any "clues" left behind for amateurs to discover.

[DrScholl]

nothing is more official and final than bodily injury.  no Senate commission is more final than death, mobilization, shutdown, and Friday's lost wages.

as a comment on this fiction/real life dichotomy, the fact that we have 98% of us only experienced this event through smartphone and computer and tv screens, renders that dichotomy an anarchronism, a relic of past time.  everything now is a mix of the fake and the real.

again, I have never tried to comment on any of these issues.  bark up another tree, if you wish.

It is true that experiencing something in person rather than seeing it on television or the computer is more jarring, but that doesn't mean that anything that happened was fake.

I'm really not trying to argue, I'm just making a general point about how ridiculous conspiracy theories are and why many people take issue with them.
