Truther Is the New Nigger

Holy smoke, I cannot believe this one myself, but two of the geese at Gage's Gaggle actually had the stones to write this. Talking about the National Geographic Special that aired in September, Dwain Deets and Gregg Roberts opine:

NGC actually used the term "truthers" to refer to the objectivists, a silly-sounding label used as shorthand within the community of 9/11 skeptics, but not one that they use when speaking to critics. The use of that insider label was one of the many appeals to emotion rather than reason used in the show. To help understand this, compare the use of the "N" word by African-Americans themselves, as opposed to its use by people who are not members of that group and instead are hostile toward its members.


Really, you cannot make up stuff this stupid.
