::I think trying to attribute motives to the conspiracists is still a bad idea, and involves too much OR. We cannot know for sure what motivates nutters. Some hate George W Bush. Some hate Jews. Some hate Muslims. Some hate the government, no matter what brand it is. Some hate the USA. Some just don't trust anybody. But still all nutters. (Even though I might agree with some of those sentiments re governments, etc).) We describe who they are and what they say. The readers can decide what their motives might be and how nutty they are.
