Well, as a testament to how great this country is. Even a complete nutter like this toad can make a decent living here.

[ishabibble]

Personally, I formed my opinion as I watched the planes fly into the Twin Towers that morning. Within two hours of the attack, some TV stations were showing the video phone call from Mullah Omar in Afghanistan, denying any knowledge of the attack. Where is that footage? I'd sure like to see that again, now that I'm supposed to be doubting my lying eyes.

The only "conspiracy theory" I support is the one between the Clintons and Sandy Berger and Jamie Gorelick. Whatever secrets Berger stole from the National Archives is central to learning about the scope of the failure of the Clinton admin to protect the U.S. Also, Gorelick and the OKC bombing make for any interesting jaundiced view of the Clinton response to terror.
From the first WTC bombing to TWA 800 to OKC to Kobhar Towers to the Embassy Bombs to USS Cole, the Clinton WH failed our country over and over.

The entire 9/11 Commission was a taxpayer funded obscenity and nothing more. I found this article to be interesting and well researched, but it rankles that the author would give so much space to the puppets who sat on that commission. Whether it's the official report or merely quotes from these professional liars, without the material that Sandy Berger stole from the archives, it is incomplete.

You know what else? The article's author gave "Loose Change" even more publicity which only helps "Loose SCREW" Dylan Avery in his quest to be another Michael Moore.

Well stated!

I wish that story had gotten conservatives to be as loud and angry as the Dubai and illegal immigration subjects.

they have the right to an informed opinion

That's tagline material, partner. Well assessed.

[PogySailor]

All this effort to explain a simple thing:

19 Islamist hijacked 4 airliners, crashed three into buildings and lost a battle with passengers for control of the 4th.

These loons have to invent new "facts" to continuously modify their "theory" as it gets debunked.

[angkor]

Conspiracy theorists have an emotional problem that makes it difficult for them to live with ambiguity or loose ends.

[Darkwolf377]

I've heard or read that sentiment a number of times over the years, in one wording or another. It's always seemed self-explanatory to me, but you'd be amazed--maybe not--how it infuriates many folks of a liberal persuasion. They try to make it seem like it implies some kind of government agency that allows opinions based on blah blah blah.

A normal person can read it and see the meaning is pretty darned obvious: Know what you're talking about when you open your yap.

Folks like the creator of this "movie" seem to think the right to an opinion means the right to have one's fantasies--one's NEED to have an Evil Government Conspiracy that controls life--legitimized.

Considering that this all started with the French book, I am not surprised. I work with a lot of Frenchies here in MIA and here are some of the crazy things I have heard form them:

1) Katrina and the New Orleans mess was all planned by Bush because all those people were black and poor. At the time during the fiasco they were saying that thousands of people were dead.
2) Florida was going to be hit by a tidal wave similar to the one from last year in the Indian Ocean and that we should be ready.
3) Americans dont watch the World Cup because they are selfish.

Yes they have said things like this and I laugh my head off at them.

Then I watched what are perhaps the most compelling images supporting the notion of a forced demolition -- the many videos showing the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11. The collapse, which FEMA also pinned on the fires started in the neighboring twin towers, is extraordinary; the building simply disappears into itself, disintegrating like it had been planned for weeks.

Is the author agreeing with the conspiracy theorists regarding WTC7?

[reagan_fanatic]

United Flight 93 did not crash in Shanksville, Penn. Instead, it landed safely in Cleveland, and 200 people on board were evacuated.

Ok, genius -if that's really what happend then WHERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE!!??

Flippin idiot.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Reality and DU don't mix.

Reality at DU doesn't exist...

The idea around which liberalism coheres is that NOTHING actually matters except PR.

"...Hoffmann is known as a moderate democrat..."

BWAA HAAAA HAAAA!!!! Truer words were never spoken!

[rlmorel]

Hey...I think YOU are the IDIOT here...

Even a little kid knows they had their memories erased with one of those "flashy things" from the "Men in Black" movie.

It was a simple matter to relocate them somewhere.

[rlmorel]

Oh, come on. Don't be a complete dummy.

Don't you know those airliners were 3-dimensional holographs? Didn't you even read the article? Sheesh. It is nearly impossible to connect the dots on a good conspiracy theory when people won't even read all the way through the article!

(oops...I re-read this post, and it actually looks like it could have been written by one of these loony crackpots!)

[reagan_fanatic]

LOL - I wouldn't put it past them to believe something like that.

I just can't understand the thought processes that these loons possess. Apparently, it is beyond their comprehension that sometimes, SOMETIMES - things actually do happen just as we see them happen and

*GASP*

there really isn't a super-secret government agency behind it all.

[trebb]

3-dimensional holographs? Are you sure? Why hasn't the NYTimes said anything about this capability yet? Even Dan Rather missed this one.

LOL - thanks for the chuckles.

As the stoned, brain damaged VW Bus (played by George Carlin) in the animated movie "Cars" so eloquently states:

"It's a conspiracy, Maaannnn..."

And as all of us might say to the libs, as the "conservative military jeep" in the movie "Cars" says to that aforementioned VW Bus...

"The Sixties weren't good to you, were they?"
