Crackpots Fail In Burlington
I have to admit, this is something of a shock:
Burlington voters Tuesday rejected a local group's call for a new investigation of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, by a nearly two-to-one ratio.The vote was 3,150 to 1,817.
More Lefty Gatekeepers!

I don't know if the link in Smashers post appears messed up to the rest of you, but here is a working link to the original article.
Given the wording was designed to atract more than conspiratoids (many sane people might have simply thought the original commission omitted certain things) this has to have the twoofers crying. What a shock it is too see more evidence they are the lunatic fringe. Helps explain why none of their endorsed candidates won last year. Idiocy is not a political winner.
This is just another blow to the trooth movement, and puts salt in the wound if they can't even get Vermont on their side.
I think it is a good time to fire their pollsters who proudly proclaim that 84% are troothers.
Deep Thought: When the liars falsely claim that 84% of the population swallows the fantasist snake oil, they are, uh, lying.
The crackpots didn't just fail in Burlington, they failed on so many levels that an M.C. Escher painting wouldn't do it justice.
They went to the smallest, most leftist state in the union -- probably the most favorable for their cause -- phrased the ballot measure in a way that obscured its conspiracy theory nature, and still lost 2 to 1.
And even if they'd won, it wouldn't have mattered. The measure had no legal force. It merely asked Vermont's Congressmen to ask for a new investigation. Which they said they weren't interested in doing. And even if they were, they'd have had an impossible task in rallying sufficient support from other Congressmen.
That's like failing at failing at failing.
