Who Says They Don't Have Membership Standards

While many 9/11 truthers may embrace Jim Fetzer's "big tent" idea of accepting Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites into the movement, you can't say they don't have any standards at all. Apparently a group of 9/11 deniers in Portland have ran up against behavior that they consider unacceptable, a woman who (gasp) is against gay marriage and abortion.

Laughing Horse Books—a nonprofit, collectively owned and operated bookstore that's been a resource and meeting space for left-of-center Portlanders since 1985—has been the 9/11 group's venue for more than two years. The 9/11 Truth Alliance meets at the store on Southeast 10th Avenue to discuss alternate theories about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.

But when Laughing Horse collective members who aren't part of the 9/11 Truth Alliance learned of Starrett's strong opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage, they were just as strongly opposed to her presence at the bookstore.

Well I am glad they won't accept extremists in their ranks...

I was reminded immediately of this post:

So maybe if this woman had supported the rights of gay people to get married in a concentration camp, they'd have had no problem with her.

Heh, I'd forgotten Swing was in the comments section of that post, saying he isn't a Holocaust denier, then spouting yards of old neo-Nazi propaganda myths. I'm sure he'll be along in a minute to tell us he'd taken a ride in a Volkswagen that afternoon and it affected his mind.
