  Conspiracy theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, conspiracy theory is also used to indicate a narrative genre that includes a broad selection of (not necessarily related) arguments for the existence of grand conspiracies, any of which might have far-reaching social and political implications if true.
The term "conspiracy theory" is considered by different observers to be a neutral description for a conspiracy claim, a pejorative term used to dismiss such a claim, and a term that can be positively embraced by proponents of such a claim.
The term conspiracy theory is itself the object of a type of conspiracy theory, which argues that those using the term are manipulating their audience to disregard the topic under discussion, either in a deliberate attempt to conceal the truth, or as dupes of more deliberate conspirators.

Conspiracy theory, in contrast to conspiracy as a legal concept, is a narrative genre which includes a broad selection of (not necessarily related) arguments for the existence of various conspiracies, each of which might have far-reaching social and political implications, if found to be true.
Conspiracy theory is considered by different observers to be a neutral description for a conspiracy claim, a perjorative term used to dismiss such a claim, and a term that can be positively embraced by proponents of such a claim.
Conspiracies are a popular theme in several genres of fiction, notably thrillers and science fiction, primarily due to their dramatic potential: recasting complex or meaningless historical events into relatively simple morality plays, in which bad people are the cause of bad events, and good people face the relatively simple task of identifying and defeating them.

 Whistle Stopper Political Forums - The Cold, Dead Fingers of Columbine Victims

 Dave Kopel on Michael Moore on National Review Online
The Columbine murderers were enrolled in a high-school bowling class.
Bowling for Columbine revels in the tabloid-style, raw exploitation of emotion — in promotion of unjustified fear, in falsehoods and quarter-truths, in oversimplification of the problems of race, and in mean-spirited pandering to the audience's bigotry about people of different social backgrounds.
Liking Bowling for Columbine is no different from liking the sleaziest "news" show on television, except that the audience for the latter doesn't claim to be more aesthetically — or morally — sophisticated than the mainstream American public.

The memory of this terrible day is preserved -- in a sick and twisted way -- by Columbine Paintball, a website that promises a full-scale recreation of the high school where individuals can pay to be a killer, SWAT team responder or innocent bystander in the drama.
