Stupid or Dishonest?

I struggle with this question everytime I log into a political chatroom and encounter someone who claims that 911 was Clinton's fault and that it was Gore who tried to steal the election of 2000.

I've encountered people in chat rooms who claim that birds are mammals. (You think I'm kidding; I am not.) Who clam that there are no barns in Texas. (You think I'm kidding; I am not.) Who say that trees produce ozone. (You think I'm kidding; I am not.)

The list goes on and on.

And the question I ponder every time I encounter these folks is, "Are they stupid? Or are they just dishonest?"

I don't know the answer to that.

Do you have any idea?
