Are we forgetting that those on the fringe wing of the liberal spectrum were conspiracy theorists during GWB's years. I remember liberals accusing then governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, of conspiring to steal the election on behalf of his brother. You remember when liberals implicated GWB in the 9/11 attacks? Even today, some on the fringe left believe oil was behind the Iraq invasion.
I'm a liberal, but you must not deny the fact that conspiracy nuts exist on both sides.
Liberal or not, you seem to be confusing allegations of wrongdoing or even mere lack of candor with "conspiracy theories."
Claiming that they are conducting a war on women.
Claiming that they hate poor people.
Claiming that they are racist.
Claiming that they want children with downs syndrome to fend for themselves.
Claiming that they want to suppress voter rights.
Claiming that they want to impose theocracy on America.
Claiming that they are purposely obstructing economic recovery.
Claiming that they incite violence.
Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm sure you expected that to be a rhetorical question because of course liberals don't make wild unfounded claims about conservatives. Unfortunately, the reality is that they do.
Most of those are true. They do hate poor people. They also hate working people too. They are racist. They not only are suppressing voter rights they have even bragged about it. There has been more than a few cases of conservatives extolling the benefits of ID laws by saying not that they would cut down on fraud but that they would help Romney win. After the election Paul Ryan even gave urbam people voting as one the reasons they lost.

"They" who? Who are you talking about? You're painting with a very large brush and it's quite humorous.
No, although I would judge it possible that there was more foreknowledge on the part of some intelligence services than was disclosed. But malfeasance in the 2000 election, while it may technically be a conspiracy theory in the sense that it alleges concerted criminality by more than one person, is hardly the same thing. The same goes for the role that dominance of oil plays in international affairs. Both of those things may be right or wrong, but there is no a priori improbability about them, as the epithet "conspiracy theory" would seem to imply.
I don't follow Moore enough to know what his specific claims are
That's all we needed.
