The Real Culprits Behind 9/11

Ever since I wrote critically about the TV show “Rescue Me’s” attempt to incorporate 9/11 truther conspiracies into their plotline, I’ve received a small but intense amount of hate mail, including even a short missive from one of the actors, a 9/11 truther himself.  He said I was “really dumb.” Which, I must admit, isn’t as bad as another truther wishing I would die from AIDS – or the other one who opined on the size of my genitalia.  But hey, no one ever said these folks were classy.

But it got me to thinking. Many of the letter writers said I should maintain an open mind over such matters, because, as these conspiracy theorists note: it’s not about having the answers, but raising the questions. Some narrow minded jerks might say that’s way too easy – you can raise questions about everything and still be right about nothing – which is why conspiracies are so much fun, after all. But whoever says that would be narrow minded. 

And probably racist.  (more…)
