Someone who avidly keeps up with this please help me. My understanding is that a ‘truther’ maintains that elements within the US Gov. performed, assisted, or willingly allowed the 911 attacks.
While Paul’s statement that there was ‘glee’ within some US Gov circles over the attacks is odious, there is still a world of difference between asserting gleeful opportunism in the wake of such attacks, and asserting actual culpability in such attacks. Again, my understanding is that the ‘truthers’ assert US complicity or even execution of the attacks.
There are LIFO’s and MIFO’s, Let It Happen on Purpose and Make it Happen on Purpose.
Paul falls into the LIFO most of the time in that he makes statements that there were elements that allowed events to take place so they could have the wars and crack downs on freedom they want.
Sometimes he borders on the MIFO line of thought when he directly blames our actions for causing it, picking and choosing from Osama’s rants to make it our own fault.
Truther’s don’t just need to be of the, Bush Planted Thermite line of thinking.
There is probably a website sponsored by them that will shed more light on what they believe.
