Speaking of leftist conspiracy theories, the 9/11 "truthers" come to mind. I wrote about them a while back and also referenced Hofstadter's essay:

Pipes' book, although a few years old (CSPAN recently replayed a 1996 interview with him on the subject) is also very useful. He wrote another one on the Mideast and conspiracism (his term) that's quite apropos to today.
Great blog, by the way. Will add you to the blogroll...
