Investigate Calls To "Investigate 9/11:" Get Democrats On Record, With No Wiggle Room, On Trutherism

I argued this myself a while ago. While the MSM loves asking Republicans potentially embarrassing questions about evolution and God -- questions designed to force them to choose between appeasing two constituencies, or else look foolish in trying to pander to both -- the MSM never seems very interested in the Democrats' wedge issues.

Specifically: The Truther wedge. They're 90% Democrats, they're actually a large segment of the base, and yet they freak out everyone else with their, how do I put this delicately?, feces-eating bugfuck-crazy lunacy.

Why does the media refuse to closely question Democrats on these various "interesting theories"? The answer is obvious, so let me rephrase it: What bullshit pretext does the media claim for refusing to ask Democrats tough questions about Trutherism?

Rob Port wants you to do the jobs that Americans (in the media) won't do: Call or write your Congressmen and get them to commit without any vague two-way pandering to what they really believe happened on 9/11, and what they really believe about the "Truth" movement.

With Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Ramadi) now floating the "interesting theory" that 9/11 is a close analogue of the Reichstag fire, there is simply no cover left for the media to pretend that this isn't an issue in this campaign.
