Great examples of why people laugh at truthers...

It seems that there were many people with foreknowledge of 9-11. This fact hardly ever gets any attention.

Ok, who specifically had foreknowledge? Any names? Any evidence to support this claim?

Hell, the very fact that the bin Laden family is in business with the Bush family is something that's not capitalized on nearly enough.

They were not in business together anymore than you and I are in business together because we eat at McDonalds. Bush and the Bin Laden family invested in the same hedge fund. This is another example of why people laugh at unsubstantiated and exaggerated claims.

Why the 9-11 movement doesn't get the respect it should is not because people are scared, or blind, or sheep. It's because they've focused on hard to prove, if provable at all, theories.

And because most in the truth movement are so desperate to demonize Bush that they make unsubstantiated and far-fetched claims, and state those claims as facts.

You also can't make a neat flash animation with a death metal soundtrack about "put" options.

Another great example why people laugh at truthers. The entire put option myth has been debunked over and over. See, the reason truthers get laughed at is really pretty simple. They generally are younger and are good at searching for stuff on the internet, which leads them to sites that make outrageous claims.

They then are good at parroting the claims on other web sites like ATS when they have no idea what they are even talking about. I'd bet that 99% of the truthers who reference the put option myth could not even explain what a put option was, what the strike price means, or what they expiration date has to do with anything.

They also would not be able to explain how the put options were valued, or how the purchase of the airline put option prior to 9/11 was traced back to benign sources who had nothing to do with 9/11.

The easily plausible ideas can't be heard over the din of the absurd ones. Forty-three percant of Americans think the government is hiding something. That doesn't mean they think it's a hologram or a bomb or a "no plane" theory.

Another great example of why people laugh at truthers. Truthers tend to care about any PLAUSIBLE idea not matter how many times it has been debunked, or how there is no actual evidence to support the idea.

If the "movement" isn't careful, they're going to scare that 43 percent away.

I would guess that the percentage that think 9/11 was done by the U.S. government is closer to 0.1%. Why? Because for all the coincidences, anomalies, and mysteries of 9/11, there is no tangible evidence that it was an inside job.

Of course the closest we have come to that evidence is Sandy Berger destroying classified documents before his testimony in front of the 9/11 Commission, and Curt Weldon exposing Able Danger.

Unfortunately, the MoveOn.org crowd of democrats, the people who are most likely to accept a 9/11 conspiracy, would never in a million years raise their collective voice about the Sandy Berger cover-up because, well, he's on their side you know. Now the convicted destroyer of top secret documents is working for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

And as for Curt Weldon, the liberal democrats automatically said he was lying about Able Danger because he was a republican. In fact, in was Sandy Berger who orchestrated the campaign to have Weldon lose his seat.

In my opinion, until the MoveOn.org liberal democrats are willing to look inside their own party, and especially at the connections with the Clintons and their cronies, the 9/11 truth movement will always be on par with bigfoot sightings.
