My definition of a Truther

88% of DUers: according to recent polls.

Smart and wise.

Don't drink the koolaid.

Realize nearly everything bushco claims is a lie.

Wants more investigation of 9/11.
*******

That pretty well sums up DU Truthers, eh?

1. No no no

That'll never do. Truthers must also believe in every conspiracy theory ever posited, and all mythical creatures. Otherwise, how could we use the nut-job-broom to sweep their legitimate concerns under the rug?

Sincerely, Mr. OCT

they are defaming the Democratic Party by subscribing to alternate theories. They are just "goofy". Plus, they haven't cracked this case in 9 years yet. Which ones did I leave out??

2. Okay, I'll bite.

I'll make no claims to having much wisdom, just a ton of experiences that I've hopefully learned something from.

I detest koolaid, the liquid kind or the kind that eats brain matter.

Bush claimed he wanted to be dictator ... that was true.

On the fourth point, I'm there all the way.

I imagine that many people think that those things they believe in are true and absolute at the expense of all else and all others that may indicate otherwise.

Self-validation, they name is...

8. According to recent polls on DU

more than half of DU are "truthers". Indeed, it could be said that according to polls from GD, 88% of the responders are "truthers"". So, it is my belief that most DUers are "truthers"" and if you don't like my beliefs that is just too f'n bad.

Bwahahahaha!

9. Uh, no....

88% of the RESPONDENTS of the poll may believe you. But you're assuming that EVERY member of DU has not only read the poll, but answered it.

Do you know how polling works?

... I think not.

11. It's not so much caring what you think

It's more just wondering what the fuck you are babbling about.
Maybe one day, you'll post something that makes sense.
I won't hold my breath.

12. So that settles it.

9/11 truth IS a religious belief for you. So much so that you will ignore elementary math to make believe in your feeble little mind that you're in a majority.

Pretty sad when you need to fabricate your own beliefs.

14. truly it isn't safe to generalize about groups from these forums

As for individuals, there are limits on what we're allowed to say.
