I'm always fascinated by the concept that if you show them a real conspiracy, proven beyond any doubt, they immediately lose interest.

I have to disagree, but for a different reason than the others. I've been seeing the same crap for years now. The loudest criers from either side will use any slightest excuse to trash anyone from the other side. Yes, there is racism involved, but it's a lot more than that. If the only difference was that he was white they'd still be all over it, just on the off chance that something might stick.
The more I observe politics and political discussions the more convinced I become that pretty much anyone who politicizes any issue is a narrow-and-shallow-minded child looking for attention.
