164. So, if I made a post that pointed out that John Hinkley Jr.'s father

Tue Apr 30, 2013, 05:40 PM

Apr 2013

was a financial supporter of George H.W. Bush’s 1980 presidential primary campaign, would that make me a conspiracy theorist too? What if I mentioned: "The Hinckley family is related in three ways to the Bush family. Both families descent from Samuel Hinckley, Sarah Hinckley (née Soole), Thomas Lathrop, Sarah Lathrop (née Learned), John Gallup, and Hannah Gallup (née Lake)." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley,_Jr#Bush.E2.80.93Hinckley_family_connection

Honestly, that looks like you are making an assumption of conspiracy theorists, when, in fact, the poster simply said something was odd about that. I can understand if you want links to where that is mentioned, because I would want a source too, but just because someone mentions some interesting trivia about a subject does not mean they are making up a conspiracy theory. Can you at least agree that the coincidence IS interesting?

They are NOT the empire, just minions of the plutocrats. Coyotl Apr 2013 #134
