    Glenn Beck: “This is the kind of group that ‘a Timothy McVeigh’ would come from.”

    This is where Beck, or his producer, got the idea from;

    Conspiracy Fanatics Invade Bill Maher By Dave Nalle http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/10/21/090305....

    "What they don't seem to get is that being obnoxious doesn't make people respect them, it makes those they want to influence and the audience they want to reach take them even less seriously. If you have a controversial cause and behave like a whacko, then people conclude that your cause is silly even before they have a chance to consider the evidence. "Stupid is as stupid does" is the operating principle under which they seem to be eager to be judged.

    As they marginalize themselves more and more with their ridiculous claims and increasingly outrageous behavior, I'm afraid we can expect to see more and more desperate and extreme attention-seeking behavior. That's the pattern of the kind of narcissistic mindset which drives conspiracy fanatics. It's even believable that in the ultimate irony, as they retreat into a world of paranoia and frustration, the 9/11 conspiracy fanatics might themselves turn to violent terrorism to get the attention they so desperately crave. It's easy to laugh at the conspiracists, but it's a grim truth that someone protesting Bill Maher this week might be the next Timothy MacVeigh or Ted Kasinski a few frustrated and ignored years down the road."

    There is truth in the second paragraph quoted, the "As they marginalize..."

    Agreed, the need for attention and relevance, and the resulting frustration, can build into the extremes, maybe into full fledged violence. But one thing that Dave Nalle completely ignores is that this phenomenon is not exclusive to any group of human beings, that it is just an issue of frustration, just the idea of getting what one wants. The 9/11 Truthers are apparently very special to him. So special that he needs to deride, to distance.

    The first paragraph reverses our experience. The population of 9/11 Disinterest does not want to consider the evidence, and calls it silly and whacko, with the hope that the truthers will bow to those claims. Some do.

    I wonder about the need to try to prove that 9/11 Truth is not silly or whacko. What about consistently questioning and illustrating, without any sense of victimization, their need to ridicule the movement. Really, out on the streets, this is the only approach in which I've seen to work well.
