Great list. Since I’ve been here for a long time, I can verify that there are people paid to wreak havoc on conservative sites. Those who were around here during the Clinton Lewinsky saga can attest to this. They are most effective when they can get conservatives fighting each other as happened during the last primary season.
A couple of other categories that come to mind (or variations on your list):
1. Expanding on the Downer, there are those who are quick to label Issa, or Boehner, or McConnell, or any other GOP leader as ineffective, incompetent, stupid, etc. I don’t know what they expect - that those guys can just snap their fingers or utter a word and bring the whole Obama administration down? (what I just wrote will bring those people out of the woodwork, no doubt). Anyhow, the defeatism is quite tiresome and reminds me of whiny two year olds. I guess I would call them the Downer Armchair Quarterbacks -like they could do better if they were in the same position.
2. The Tin Foil Hat Distractors. They always pop up with a wild, out in left field take on the situation. I mean, these folks make Art Bell appear perfectly sane and reasonable.

Great additions, randita!
I suppose I'm officially in the 'tin-foil hat brigade', but you know what? It's you folks who simply haven't been paying attention for the past 20 years that really make me laugh. To follow up with a recent topic in the news, those who were pointing to evidence of gun running in Bengazi were laughed off as being 'tinfoilers' then, but here we are, a year later, and you know what's finally coming around through the media? I suppose it's o.k. to talk about it now that it has the official blessing of the lame-stream media?
