I no longer believe that 9/11 was an inside job. It was probably carried out by radical militants. I'm not saying we have all the information, but I'm no longer a "truther".

Anyway, the only reason truthers are liberal is because Bush was in office when it happened. If Obama were president on 9/11, you can bet your ass most truthers would be conservatives, the same conservatives now convinced that Barack Obama had a fake birth certificate created in order to bypass section 1 of Article 2. Or that universal healthcare is a first step to the one-world government. Or that FEMA is creating concentration camps. Or that the government is going to take anyone's gun.

Edit: In response to the article, it's consistent with what I've experienced. There IS a mistrust of experts and verifiable data growing on the right, and I'm not just imagining things. I've witnessed it first hand, in fact.
