No, throwing out a quick twitter joke before you realise the scope of the tragedy is not actually the same thing as openly speculating if the government created the tornado to murder its own citizens.
Seriously, I know it's fun and profitable to say 'both sides', but you actually have to have to equal sides to make that work. Now, there might be some left wing nutter out there claiming that this tornado is all the fault of the right wing, but if that's true then post that, don't just pretend that a joke made in ignorance and quickly apologised for is the same thing is a conspiracy theory.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
I don't think the claims of racist attitudes by the government in the response to Katrina constitute a conspiracy. Or Global warming.
Where there claims of weather manipulation with Katrina? I honestly don't know. I know that both sides have conspiracy theorists. Hippy's go hand in hand with conspiracy and left wing after all, but I have never heard anything about weather manipulation in Katrina. The left wing conspiracy theorists, IMO, seem to be the more "The government are hiding information about aliens" type than "They want to kill us and implement a NWO" type.

I mean, what a stupid question. You start tornadoes in areas without them then people will know that it is a weapon. It can only be used in areas that already have allot of tornadoes, or where you have built up a history of tornadoes over many years to cover up what you are doing. If you just go out and use it in areas with no tornadoes you let your secret out!
Why do you think the UK has so many small tornadoes? So that come the day the lizards ready to revile themselves they can soften us up with big ones without fear of being uncovered to early.
Think man. THINK!

So if the government had weather control abilities then, certainly they still have them now right?
And with a Democrat president, you get pretty much just one guy on the fringe crazy train claiming Obama weather control.
Compare that to the Katrina days, and you quickly realize, no, it is not even close to even sides enough to say "both sides."
Conspiracy theorist pretty much just means severely left wing whack job.
Ok, global warming's existence has a huge amount of support from the world wide scientific community and is accepted as actually happening in most 1st world nations. It is only really considered a controversial issue here in the states, as far as Europe is concerned, it is accepted as fact, just like evolution. It's influence on the weather is likely, it's direct influence on individual random weather activities is extremely difficult to prove. So comparing climate change to 'government weather devices' is asinine.
I never saw or heard of a media representative mentioning Bush had 'weather control devices', could you provide citation as I did in the opening post, instead of pointing at the left and saying 'they were far worse during kat'.
"conspiracy theorist pretty much just means severely left wing'... Are you aware of the internet sir? It contains lots of things like: Obama is taking away all guns, Obama is training the DHS to conquer America, Obama is an African with a forged birth certificate, Obama is a communist, Obama is a muslim, Obama is a fascist... Seriously, your little snipe at the left is pitiable.
So basically obama is the Cobra Commander! MY GOD! *Puts down sun glasses* *begins to study obama's movements* HOW COULD I NEVER HAVE SEEN IT? MY GOD! The United States run by Cobra! I ALWAYS KNEW IT! I would never have guessed that Obama would target childern in elementary schools, and kill defenseless people. In a town in Oklahoma! HOW DIABOLICAL!
Why else? Would he target them other to attack the innocent and show his force of power with his WEATHER DOMINATOR! Cobbraaaaaaaaa!!!!!!/sarcasm off
In all seriousness. My thoughts and prayers have been with the people there, people that think this is a conspiracy need a good few smacks like the joffery gif from Meangreenstompa.
If my post offends anyone. By all means I would edit it. But be wary that I am offending the Conspiracy theorists by saying that is such a GI Joe thing to do. Apparently the theorists also believe GI Joe is a documentary....

I have literally never once heard, ever, a single conspiracy theory that George W. Bush controlled the weather until this thread.

I realize this isn't the same as theorizing that Bush controlled the weather, but I do remember Spike Lee claiming that Bush had the Army Corps of Engineers blow up levees in order to purposely flood black communities.

Technically, he said he doesn't care about black people, not that he hates them. I don't care about ants, and don't go out of my way to kill them, but I do hate moths, and kill them on sight (my kitchen had a persistant pantry moth infestation).
And you know, that's the worst part of that whole thing. We can argue whether or not the Bush administration had any culpability for Katrina (IMO he did not, I think local disaster planning is not generally a federal responsibility, though the federal elements could have been better handled).
But the whole thought that George W. Bush doesn't care about black people is the most ludicrous thing ever. His administration has probably been directly responsible for saving more black lives than any other modern president via his PEPFAR program. It's a shame that he doesn't get the credit he deserves for this while also getting (rightfully) the crap he deserves for all he did wrong. Credit where credit's due, as HBMC said.

Yeah, there were. And plenty more who are so completely incoherent they don't belong to either side.
And with a Democrat president, you get pretty much just one guy on the fringe crazy train claiming Obama weather control.
You think there's just one guy out there making crazy Obama conspiracies.
I mean, birthers?! Obama is a secret muslim? Obama as part of a UN plot for a one world government? Seriously, you just forgot about all that?
Conspiracy theorist pretty much just means severely left wing whack job.
Yeah, no.
