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.

The Democrats, in this forum, are often accused of being obsessed with GW Bush...so much so that I make every effort not to reference him or state that I am NOT attacking him. But this post points out how obsessed the Republicans are with GW Bush. This post references a very right wing source and then slants the actual content of that reference. And that saddens me because we have been able to find some common ground in the past. So this is what the poll question asked:
"How likely is it that people in the
federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East?" the poll asked.
A full 22.6% of Democrats said it was "very likely." Another 28.2% called it "somewhat likely.
I see no mention of GW Bush directly in that question. This poll is more a reflection on the Iraq war than on the 9/11 attacks. All the lies the administration spread a justification for the war.
However, yes I did know one Democrat in my circle that fully believed in this theory.
Also your reference didn't mention any of this.....
http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/wei...r-polling.aspx
Nor of this....

And as this reference points out....How many of those responded are correctly identifying that GW Bush was briefed about a possible attack when at his ranch?
And for the record....No truther here!!!!
