I'm writing an paper for a class on the 9/11 Truth movement's sudden explosion from internet viral video and into mainstream media. I decided on this topic after reading an essay on the altering of America's collect mind by the control of various media outlets.
You can read the essay here:

Of coure there are people who hate 9/11 truthers, but why? Obviously most people would say "It's because they are kooks." I need for people to expound to why there is so much hatred for these groups.
I have come up with a few categories:
1 You believe the government's version of September 11
2 You know the govenment's version is bs but the videos annoy you
3 You debunk truthers as sport
Add your own category

It's very similar to anti evolution, global warming skeptics and other ideas people have strong feelings about. People on two opposite sides see each others as complete nut case. Much like people who try to force 'intelligent design' into school and those who accuse people of introducing religious trojan horse into public school.
But I think 911 conspiracy is just way too weak. It sounds convincing because of massive data compiled by internet community that seek out even the slightest unusual occurences. You keep making small lies, semi-lies/claims and it snowballs into big huge story.

First of all, I think you should rephrase your thesis. Using "hater" in your paper will immediately make you appear biased. Secondly, you are assuming that the conspiracy theory is fact, when it hasn’t been proved. Thirdly, people that are in disagreement with the conspiracy theorists don’t necessarily hate them; they just disagree.
You have some work to do, son. Go talk to your teacher. Good luck.

#4. I know that the truth has NO VALUE- unless it is applied to bettering the future. Paranoia about things that HAVE BEEN- is for the weak minded & faint of heart.
