You say I can't ignore them, I say I will.

I'd point out that in the case of WTC conspiracy theorists it's a bunch of people in a variety of segments of society across various economic, social and racial strata. They are arguing about an issue that is important, but not day-to-day overwhelmingly important.
In the case of Rev Wright, his POV is one largely, if not entirely, shared by perhaps the majority of black Americans - 15% of your population. His talking points are also, on a day to day level, more important to people's daily lives than the WTC stuff.
I think ignoring each may bring about an entirely different set of consequences.
