Truthers are pretty much the scum of the earth.
Disagreed. Liars are scum of the Earth. Truthers are...
I decided to google the term "truther". Here's google's definition: **a person who doubts the generally accepted account of an event, believing that an official conspiracy exists to conceal the true explanation**
I find it unfortunate that the definition has been narrowed down only to those who doubt a generally accepted account of an event. I certainly believe the generally accepted accounts of -some- events, just not all of them. It's kind of like the label "conspiracy theorists". It's come to mean only someone who believes in conspiracies that are generally not accepted, but the fact of the matter that the official narrative is also a conspiracy theory, it's just the official one.
As to liars, it's a broad definition. I haven't met a person who has said they have never lied, nor do I believe that lying is always a bad thing. It depends what you're lying about. If you were in Nazi Germany and harbouring a known jewish fugitive, but lied about it to the Gestapo, I would say that was a courageous thing to do. It's all about context.
