Conspirazoid (conspiracy + schizoid)

A “conspiracy theorist” has been derided as a “conspirazoid” (conspiracy + schizoid) since at least May 1996. Conspiracy theorists questioned the truth about the 1963 assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The 1991 film JFK repopularized some conspiracy theories.

Similar terms include “conspiracy nut” (since at least 1971), “conspiranoid” (since June 1992) and “conspiratard” (since October 2004).

You keep digging yourself in deeper and deeper, do you know that? That silly video has been explicitly debunked in detail by the TV program 60 MINUTES. I thought that even the nuttiest conspirazoids had stopped flogging it.

That’s why I’m announcing the ADMIRAL JEREMY BOORDA MEMORIAL RIGHT-WING TWIT AWARD, to be awarded to the first demented conspirazoid in this or another newsgroup who suggests that the Admiral was murdered by agents of the Bill Clinton presidential administration.

According to the conspirazoids, Dick Cheney planned 9/11 so that he’d have an excuse to topple Saddam Hussein and his old company Halliburton could make a killing.
