The Carrie Prejean Conspiracy Theory

Normally, I don’t pass along anonymous speculation, but lately I’ve been getting some tips so intriguing about Miss California USA Carrie Prejean that I feel obliged to share them. This might be tin-foil hat stuff, but it’s at least interesting tin-foil hat stuff.
OK, as you may know, Carrie Prejean will appear at a press conference today at 1 p.m. ET at the National Press Club in Washington, making her debut as spokeswoman for the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriage. So Carrie’s the new idol of social conservatives, right? But what if, as my tipster suggests, Prejean is actually a Trojan Horse for the other side?
You want evidence? Well, it’s circumstantial. Prejean is said to be friends with Miss California USA pageant co-director Keith Lewis, a talent agent who was also executive producer of a 2007 pro-gay documentary, “For The Bible Tells Me So.” How is it, my tipster wonders, that Prejean could have been so anti-gay all this time without pro-gay Lewis knowing about it?
Further evidence involves Shanna Moakler who — as I reported last night on my (not entirely safe-for-work) personal blog — told Access Hollywood that the Miss California USA pageant paid for Prejean’s breast implants, after consultation with Moakler. Thus, my tipster wonders, why would the pro-gay Lewis and pro-gay Moakler (an outspoken opponent of Proposition 8) authorize the expenditure of thousands of dollars for breast augmentation for the anti-gay Prejean?
Given evidence of Prejean’s long and friendly association with these two pro-gay pageant officials, my tipster speculates that Perez Hilton’s “gotcha” question about gay marriage was actually a setup. The whole point of the stunt, my tipster speculates, was to catapult Carrie Prejean to national celebrity as an anti-gay spokeswoman. And then — carrying the conspiracy theory forward — Prejean will have a “road to Damascus” conversion, claiming to have “seen the light” and declaring herself in favor of same-sex marriage.
Paranoid tin-foil hat stuff? Yeah, sure. But weirder things have happened. Also, coincidentally, my tipster speculates that somebody’s trying to hustle a reality-TV gig out of all this. You can learn more about that speculation at my blog, but I must again caution readers that there are some links there that are NSFW. And not just Perez Hilton in drag . . .

Isn’t there an opening with the National Coalition Against Opposite Marriage?

You are having way too much fun with this

“Way Too Much Fun” is what I listed as my occupation on my 1040 form.

The problem with that theory is that they had no idea that she would get the question she was going to get because they had no way of knowing which judge she would pull from the jar.
I instead think that this is wishful thinking to get her off the page because of the danger of the worm turning.

So did she supposedly plan this before going to a Christian college, and attending an Evangelical church in San Diego?
Interesting theory, but the data points (choice of church, college, etc.) don’t indicate it has a high probability of accuracy.

FYI, she did end up speaking at Liberty yesterday, and they offered her a scholarship to finish her last year of school here. We’ll see if she takes it or not…

Being anti-gay marriage does not mean being anti-gay.

I know that; I was just using shorthand jargon. But try telling gays that opposing same-sex marriage isn’t “anti-gay.”

This is clearly tinfoil bra territory.

Hi “The Other McCain”:
I have enjoyed your writings in The Green Room.
Like you, I am agnostic regarding whether the conspiracy theory is true or false.
Your article above raises some alarming questions.
If the conspiracy theory is true, I would not be suprised.
I don’t pretend to know the heart of Carrie Prejean.
But I do know that the Christian Church in America needs spiritual revival, starting with me.
Those who claim to profess allegiance to the throne of Jesus Christ need to fully understand what that means, and what that does not mean.
When the Christian sub-culture decides to return to the Scriptures, and jettison the cultural flirting with fame, popularity, success syndrome, numerical church growth obsession, money, power, etc and return to the Scriptures, then and only then will spiritual revival break out in our land.
And God will be glorified in our midst.

Very powerful
Is the Christian Church in America ready for this?

I’m a little surprised the Left doesn’t try the type of thing your conspiracy theory describes more often. With their control of the media, they could easily set up a photogenic, phony “conservative” with six-figure book deals and tons of media exposure, then have them start renouncing conservative positions, and encourage their fans to accept the moral superiority of liberal positions. It’s a good thing they haven’t tried anything like that yet, because it would be annoying as hell.
So far, it seems like Carrie Prejean is the real deal. She’s a little too convincing to be a set-up. Judging by the quality of the trolls we’ve gotten on Hot Air, the liberal enthusiasm for astroturfing is not matched by their aptitude.
