(5,082 posts)But mostly because their cause is so inconsequential and because so their theories are actually allowed to proliferate and divide people and just make the extreme right look nuttier in my opinion. But I hate when people conflate them with those in the 911 Truth movement. That event killed 3000 Americans on US soil and led to numerous wars and millions dead. And it was used as an excuse to justify completely changing our world into one big gulag where we should be ok with the state recording and analyzing our every whisper. It was not thoroughly investigated as admitted by guys like Democratic Senator, war hero, triple amputee Max Cleland who called it a lie, sham and whitewash in disgust. The consequences of this lie are epic but the Birthers? To them their 'event' is that a Black man got into high office. Truly pathetic.
