Default Birthers vs. Truthers: Conspiracy Theory Double Standard

In what continues to provide me with much glee, The outraged Democrats who can't believe that a duly elected President would face the disrespect of people who question his veracity about his birthplace as it concerns his qualification to be President.

These are the exact same people who hated, hated, hated GW Bush and wished him dead, or at least impeached or tried for war crimes, on a daily basis. The NY Times conducted a poll in 2006 that showed that MORE THAN HALF OF DEMOCRATS believed that former President Bush was complicit in the World Trade Center attacks. It discreetly decided not too run to far with this story. It generously described these "patriotically inclined" Democrats thusly; “Some participants see an American tradition of questioning concentrated power.”

The Times has referenced this study just once, fleetingly, in a story about "conspiracy theorists" not once mentioning Democrats and Bush-Haters as the chief advocates.

"Obama is our President; just get over it!!"; yeah Okay, just like you did a few short years ago.
