re: #81 Killgore Trout

Something about terrorism doesn’t compute well with many lefties. They are often prone to conspiracy theories in an attempt to understand it. Under the Bush years it was pretty bad but the problem still lingers. It’s one of the reasons why they’re susceptible to the Paulians and 9-11 truth movement. It got so bad that Kos had to bad 9-11 truth stuff on his site. Although I’m not much of a Kos fan I think it was the right thing for him to do. It’s a problem and he made his attempt to deal with it.

I know a lot of “lefties.” Not one of them is susceptible to the Paulians or the 9-11 truth movement.

What do you mean by:

Something about terrorism doesn’t compute well with many lefties.

Do you mean that many lefties see the targeting of America by terrorists as having some connection to the history of American foreign policy?
