In case you all forget Kevin Barret was the University Of Wisconsin Madison Professor that initially integrated his truther theories into his "Introduction to Islamic Studies" class. Many state legislators questioned how Islamic studies has to do with a conspiracy theory. Then in May 4th 2007, in a press conference he claimed he was going to Morocco, to become a bounty hunter, in order to find the "alleged" hijackers...
Original article from WISCTV, Madison Wisconsin.

(If you really need to know how many irrational people there are in Madison check out the poll results.)
Being from Wisconsin, I was wondering if this guy just fell off the face of the earth (Personally I wouldn't mind!)...

No, that moron/maniac/idiot is still around...promoting his hate speech, demanding the adminstration be executed, adding people to his "Gallows" list.

Yeah Barrett was last seen being a moron dressed up as V from that dreaded slob of a film promoting his truther lies and basically saying anyone who disagrees with him will be tried for treason.
Oly in America.

Hi, JMarshall. Unfortunately, Barrett remains quite active, and apparently is becoming increasingly unhinged. There are too many threads and posts about him to list quickly. Please use the forum search function, as well as searching the Screw Loose Change (http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/) blog, which is the HQ for Barrett insanity news.
Here's a recent clip of Barrett being shouted down by the audience when he tries to interrupt a lecture like his hero, Andrew "don't Tase me bro" Meyer:

A recent quote from Barrett:
Cheney may be the worst mass murderer and traitor not just in US history, but in the history of the world. He's the kind of guy who responds to criticism by shooting a friend in the face--and then making HIM apologize.

Wow uh....Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Robespierre aren't as bad a Cheney? He must have some skeletons in his closet we don't know about.
Barrett is an idiot that should be put in a room full of cushions.

I don't believe there are any "disinfo" agents in the twoof movement but if there are Barrett's gotta be among the best paid!

NOT A PROFESSOR!!!
Sorry to yell, but despite my total lack of association with U of W Madison, I still feel obliged to defend them from the trashing of their reputation their unfortunate association with Barrett has brought about. Anyway, he was a temporary instructor covering a class while the regular professor was on sabbatical (or some other project; I don't remember the exact detail...). His teaching position was never permanent; the formal association was for that semester period.
Anyone who's curious can search the archives of Ann Althouse's blog (althouse.blogspot.com) for the details of his association. That's where I first read about him.

Oh, that was priceless. I suspect this is where the rest of the Truth Movement is headed. As soon as audiences figure out their spoiled brat tactics, revolts like this will be common.

It's a real shame that nobody throws tomatoes anymore.

A recent quote from Barrett:
Yeah, my masochist desire to actually listen to both of his weekly radio shows surely must be a sign of mental illness. In my defense though, I usually do so while involved in another activity. Taking in that idiocy 100% without dilution would certainly kill off too many braincells to be healthy.
