seaver: i dont dispute that there were people who thought that way about the trade center. but that stuff was not used by the democratic party or any other political organization that i'm aware of to mobilize people, nor was it an aspect of anything like the tea party movement. i was pretty active in the anti-war movement, went to a ton of demos and it's not the case, no matter what you'd prefer to believe, that the conspiracy-theory set had anything like a public face within it. so there's no parallel. the right has gotten in bed with the lunatic fringe. personally, so long as they do not get into power i think it's funny.
but i worry about these lunatics getting power.
think early 30s germany.
