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.

I'm wondering why you no long believe 9/11 was an inside job but that's for another thread or private messages. However, I've noticed more 'truthers' on the right than the left in my own experience. I think many left wingers associated with Fahrenheit 911 and thus consider themselves to be 9/11 truthers. Personally, I don't fee like that movie even began to touch on the issues many have with what happened that day.
My point is that some of the left attached itself to the idea of 9/11 being an inside job and blamed the republicans, but the idea stops dead in its track when it shows the left's culpability.
