This is what I'm looking for. Yes. So we can start off by deciding mutually that the word Conspiracy has been given dirt to harangue those who might dare entertain notions that don't fall exactly in line with what is popular or accepted.
I strongly recommend listening to the talk linked above. DeHaven-Smith makes some mention of a smear campaign against critics of the Warren commission who were decried as conspiracist (and communist for good measure) as the beginning of the use of the term as a pejorative.
