I ran across this great article in the Washington Post. Turns out the crazy ideas being put forth by today's birthers, tee party members, and others are nothing new. They are merely following the same old routine of being used by the narrow elite at the top of the power chain.
Crazy RIGHT WING paranoia is nothing new...great article!

How quickly we forget the 9/11 truther movement. There's crazies on every end of the spectrum. The Wash comPost seems to omit this. You are bekstarded to think otherwise.

Here, since you like the comPost:

Boston: Ben, not to be a conspiracist, but how come "Birthers" and "Vince Foster" conspiracists get play on the real media while "9/11 Truthers" had to settle for posting a billion comments after articles on everything from politics to sports to dog grooming?
Ben Pershing: Perhaps because there is an actual videotape of the planes hitting the World Trade Center that billions of people around the world have seen, while there is no videotape of Obama being born in Hawaii or Vince Foster committing suicide.
Also, for what this is worth, there is no bill in Congress declaring 9/11 to have been a giant conspiracy. But there is a bill in the House calling for presidential candidates to provide proof of citizenship. And there was a congressional investigation of Foster's death.
Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush
knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.Nice try, Rube, but you got caught with your pants down.

It's always the Joooos. The sad thing is that this is one group that the crazies on both sides hate on.

Boy do things change. Pelosi 2006 regarding the anti-war protestors. "I'm a fan of disruptors"...."your advocacy is very American".....
See for yourself.
2009: Regarding Socialized Healthcare protestors:
“drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.”

knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.Maybe because he was briefed on a coming attack more than a month before it happened.
APRIL 10--Under pressure from the September 11 commission, the White House today declassified and released an intelligence digest given to President George W. Bush weeks before the 2001 terrorist attacks. The confidential President's Daily Brief (PDB) for August 6, 2001 contained a two-page section entitled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US," and refers to possible hijacking attempts by Osama bin Laden disciples and the existence of about 70 FBI investigations into alleged al-Qaeda cells operating within the United States. The August 6 PDB, an excerpt from which you'll find below, was presented to Bush while he vacationed at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. The digest is prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency, an official from which briefs the president on the report's contents. While Bush critics have described the August 6 PDB as a warning of an impending al-Qaeda attack, Condoleezza Rice, Bush's national security adviser, testified Thursday that the document contained "historical information based on old reporting. There was no new threat information." (2 pages)
