If you're right, Fungi, it would just go to show how stupid everyone that watches South Park is, to think they would actually present a fair case for anything and be conclusive.

Maybe you can be the first to tell me what "CT'er" means.
"Conspiracy theory'er"? "Conspiracy theorist'er"?
Got some real intellectuals on here, don't we?
As far as the use of "CT'er" is concerned though, I'm sure you've seen it used before BSB, no need to get confrontational about it. It's like how Baseball people say RBI's when in reality that's like saying "Run's Batted In's", has nothing to do with someones intelligence, it's just the way they choose to shorten a phrase
IF the writters decide to pass off 9/11 theorists as insane (which they might not do.. but have a history of doing), everyone who watches South Park will follow suit.

I use the term Conspiracy Theorist because at it's current stage, the 9/11 theory is a conspiracy. It hasn't been proven on solid evidence and the 'evidence' provided is of a conspiracy nature. Not to mention the fact that it would not hold up in any formal law court.
Edmonds challenged her retaliatory dismissal by filing suit in federal court. Last July, the district court dismissed her case when Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the so-called state secrets privilege. In legal papers, the ACLU has sharply criticized the government's radical theory that every aspect of the Edmonds case involves state secrets and therefore it cannot go forward.
Stan: We risked everything to get it from the girls. How long before the girls attack us to get it back?
Clyde: Yeah. Forget about the girls, what about if the CIA or, or the Russians know we have this? They'll come after it for sure.
Craig: Maybe we should take it to someplace safer.
Stan: And then what? Hide forever from the government? From the... terrorists who want to use it for evil? Maybe... maybe nobody is meant to have this kind of power.

If you watch Season 9, Episode 9 there is a clever line about terrorism:
Stan: We risked everything to get it from the girls. How long before the girls attack us to get it back?
Clyde: Yeah. Forget about the girls, what about if the CIA or, or the Russians know we have this? They'll come after it for sure.

I always took this to mean the government are 'the terrorists who want to use it for evil' but those who don't know any better would think its two separate things. Brilliant writing

Lighten up mate it's used all over these boards. CTist just isn't common phrase around here so I'm not going to start it.
Did you see the way they took down the World of Warcraft players last week? Same thing will happen to the 9/11 theorists.
Most people often don't see how they are acting until someone shows it to them on South Park
Also knowing the South Park style, the kids at the end will clearly explain the logic error in the issue being raised. The main thing that 9/11 CTists () are having troubles with is the logic issues around the theory. Parker and Stone will eat this up. And I agree with you, people are going to follow suit without hearing both sides of the story.
But if they are like me they've been studying both sides for 3 years and the actions of South Park will just re-affirm their stance on the 9/11 issue.
But hey... they might swing the other way. But I do doubt that considering Matt Stone is a republican and Trey Parker is a Libertarian. Penn and Teller have the same political views as Trey, they are both Libertarian. And we all know what Penn and Teller did to some famous CT'ers.

This thread is about South Park so keep it that way. Save your crap for all the other BS threads.

Dude have you ever watched South Park?
They wouldn't go ahead and tell people it was an inside job by the government... it's not their style. And knowing a bit about their political background... it's not going to support a conspiracy theory.
