"Among the Truthers: A Journey Through America's Conspiracist Underground" by Jonathan Kay is pretty great. It tries to understand conspiracy theorists' motivations and reasons for thinking the way they do in a non-mocking way, as many of them (9/11 truthers in particular) are actually pretty intelligent and patriotic, wishing for the rule of law to prevail over whoever they believe really did 9/11.

Also: "The Great Derangement: War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire" by Matt Taibbi has a section about his time immersed in the 9/11 truther movement, followed by a pretty biting and hilarious analysis of the fundamental logical failures that underpin all 9/11 conspiracy thinking.

TO ALL STILL MODERATELY RATIONAL PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD

Read The Great Derangement by Matt Taibbi. He completely and logically deconstructs the truther movement, and explains (quite humorously I think) why it is all complete BS.

Pump the brakes there tinfoil...and clearly you like me, if you're going through and reading my comment history.

But yea, only a dipshit conspiracy theorist would think there is no thought involved in the game of baseball. Shouldn't you be watching "ow, my balls" right now anyway?

The author has a book due to be released on May 6, I'll probably buy it :-)

A good book in regards to this theme in the quote is Matt Taibbi's The Great Derangement.

As for the article the quote is from, it just looks like blog-spam. Meh.
