The following speech was delivered at the University of Kentucky on Tuesday, November 1, 2022
When liberals are not calling conservatives “racists” and fascists and terrorists, they call us nuts and kooks and “conspiracy theorists,” which does not really mean anything but is nonetheless an effective slur. After “racist,” “conspiracy theorist” is probably the worst thing one can be called in our society. The moment one is labeled a “conspiracy theorist,” about everything he has to say ceases to be taken seriously — by the Left, certainly, but even by many in the center and on the Right. Yet, easy as it is to destroy someone with accusations of “conspiracy theorism”— the same as with accusations of “racism”— it is much easier to ruin someone’s reputation by calling him a conspiracy theorist than it is to define precisely what a “conspiracy theory” is.
