LOL... what an interesting take on BDS. BDS is not a conspiracy per se. It's a common mental illness. It causes individuals to collectively ignore facts and their real meaning and act in a similar manner, but it is individual insane decisions. BDS may cause a small group like the rathergate gang to act in concert, but that is not a conspiracy. It's BDS groupthink.

Being ignorant and angry or informed and indignant can cause individual to all independently act in a similar fashion. 200 Veterans all got together and all indepentantly stated kerry was unfit for command.

BDS caused otherwise intelligent individual folks to ignore 200 honest men.

I guess many I read here with whom I agree are afflicted with IIS, Informed, Indignant Syndrome.
