Warum funktionieren Verschwörungstheorien?

"I thank the Gentlemen.

I rise in opposition of this bill. but I would like to clarify
something: We´re not trying to scare kids, this presidents born
policy is whats scaring the kids of this country.

And the people were said today: Why are people believing this ? Why
are people believing this big internet hoax ?

Well,

it´s the same people that told us Saddam Hussein has something to do
with 911,

same people that told us Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction,

same people that told us we´re gonna be able to use the oil for
reconstruction money,

same people that told us that we´d be greeted as liberators not
occupiers,

same people, same president that told us the Taliban is gone,

same president that told us that Poland is our ally two days before
they pull out,

same president that tells us Iraq is going just great,

same president that tells us the economy is going just great,

same people that told us the tax cut was gonna create millions of
jobs,

same people that told us that the Medicare program only cost 400
billion dollars, when it really cost 540 billion dollars.

So PLEASE forgive us for not believing what you´re saying.

PLease forgive the students of this country for not believing what
you´re saying.

Not ONE thing... not one thing about this war that has been told to
the American People or that has been told to these college students
has been true.

Not one thing.

Grammer (?) says we need more troops, the Pentagon says we need more
troops and this president can´t get them from the international
community. There´s only one option left. Let´s be honest with the
American People."
