Anderson Cooper Tackles ‘Sickening,’ ‘Ignorant’ Newtown Conspiracy Theories

Believe it or not, there are actually people out there who are convinced that last month’s horrific shooting in Newtown, Connecticut was staged. Anderson Cooper opened his show tonight taking on these conspiracy theorists. He said that ordinarily, he wouldn’t give much thought to insane conspiracies, but one of the people pushing them is a Florida professor who raises doubts as to whether the shooting “ever took place” in the way that the media described, and the whole thing was just a huge conspiracy to get the country behind gun control. And as if that wasn’t unbelievable enough, he also suspects that some of the parents of the children were really actors. -snip-

I wonder how much money is going need to be added to the federal budget for mental health coverage for the extreme right-wingers!
