Jonathan Kay - Among the Truthers

From Birthers, to Truthers, to Deathers—to occasional Liars—America seems to be crawling right now with fevered conspiracy mongers. What's up with that?

To find out, Point of Inquiry turns in this episode to Jonathan Kay, author of the new book Among the Truthers: A Journey into America's Growing Conspiracist Underground. In it, Kay provides a fascinating look at some of our indigenous kooks, and why they seem to be thriving right now.

1. I actually play a little game with myself now

No, not that one :spank:

Well... OK, that one as well but thats not what I'm here to talk about :D

Every time I come to DU now and there is or has been ANY major event... Does not matter what it is, natural disaster, sex scandal, death... anything major at all... I'll try to guess the number of posts before someone presents a conspiracy. You would be surprised at just how low that number tends to be.
