"Were there theories being espoused about this attack?

The common conservative contention was that the attacker was Paul Pelosi's gay lover.

I was really busy with work when this happened.
What were the alternate explanations for what happened?

I found one of the first threads on the topic, and you weighed in Eberly:

"So I would suggest that maybe whenever you can see that someone like Chris is posting or reposting obvious lies or smears that you flag them as abusive to bring it to the moderators attention and let the moderator decide."

Folks....calm down.

a few observations.

1. suggesting a man who has lived in SF for most of his life (assuming Mr. Pelosi has lived there most of his life) is a homosexual isn't exactly the bomb-shell life ending rumor it might have been 40 or 50 years ago. My point is that even it were even remotely true, how many people really care?

2. Where were you people with your outrage when the President of the United States and key members of his staff were accused of having homosexual relations with a White House reporter? Oh wait...you couldn't have been offended at such a thing....because you were engaged in the discussion.

3. Tony, I think you are awesome and one of the best posters in the history of this site.....but let's not get too upset over the acceptance of absurd conspiracy theories.

Great find, Gal.
I barely remember posting that but I clearly did.
That sounds like me.

I didn't remember you posting on the topic either, Eb. I remembered ONEIRONAUT had, so I went to his user page and then went back to the page for posts made at the end of October. That's where I found the three threads I linked to.

The attack was quite the hot topic here at the time:

To whom it may concern, i.e., all the but hole right-wingers who claimed Pelosi's attacker was his gay lover who he had willingly invited into his home. You know who you are, and so do we even though most of you haven't had the balls to show up in this thread:

Followers I have a gig for you. Please post this on every crackpot right winger's account who promotes nonsense about this case.

Depape violently broke into the Pelosi home. This is proof.

Thanks Seattle Times for this list of people who made fun of Paul Pelosi. Hold them accountable:

None of these are disproved by this video.
You don't find it odd that Paul answered with a drink in his hand and ran away from the police, is that what you would do, who would do that?
NBC reporter got fired for reporting the truth, and you're making up BS to feel better.

In the video included in this post, you can clearly see the attacker using the hammer to break into the Pelosi home. Even the Fox News commentator calls it a violent break in, but by all means you do you and stick to your original stupid theories and further demonstrate for all to see what a dishonest and/or delusional poster you are:

They will lie about this anyway. There are more of us. Get the truth out.

No it isn't ... this raises all sorts of Qs, if he violently broke in and why did Paul run away from Police, and pack to his "attacker"?
Again he probably knows Depape, might have been a drug deal, officers show up and Depape got upset over it.

Again, see post #26 and watch the damn video at the link provided before you continue to spout off and make a bigger fool out of yourself.

Please, do try to stop confronting the ONEIRONAUT alias with facts.
Based upon my experience in that area, that alias does not seem to know how to handle factual information.

Maybe his programming is starting to malfunction. I don't think he's used the term lumper yet in this thread.

BR, see #14 for link to thread on Musk's tweet at the time.

Oh, sorry. Page not found. It was there when I posted it.. Must have hit it's expiration date.
