9/11 "Big Lie" Author coming to America (Liberal idiot alert)
AOL/AP | 12/3/02 | Sara Kugler

NEW YORK (Dec. 3) - A French author who suggests that the Sept. 11 attacks were devised by a faction of the U.S. military is planning to promote his book on a tour that will begin in New York City.

Thierry Meyssan's book, ``9-11, The Big Lie,'' also suggests that the Pentagon was hit by an American missile, and not a hijacked airliner.

USA Books, a subsidiary of the book's French publisher, said he could launch the tour as early as this month. The dates have not been set, according to Asad Lalljee of USA Books, but the publicity blitz is likely to include interviews with several major TV news shows that have expressed interest.

In the book, the left-wing author suggests that the attacks were plotted to promote a U.S. military agenda that included waging war in Afghanistan.

The French press ridiculed the book, but it became a best seller in France for three months. The English version has not seen the same success, but Lalljee said 5,000 copies have sold without any marketing in the past six weeks since it was made available.

The Pentagon has called the allegations in the book ``more than insulting.''

Lt. Col. Ken McClellan, a Defense Department spokesman, said Monday he was appalled that Meyssan is planning a U.S. visit.

``Certainly there's a market for any sort of trivialization of history,'' McClellan said. ``That doesn't make it less of a tragedy.''

I anyone knows where he will be conducting his "book tour", please post it on here. We Americans need to give the French author a "warm" welcome! We should not be too surprised of the French leeches and their hot/cold attitude toward the U.S. They did collaborate with Germany during WWII, by the way.

This cheese-eating, wine-sipping, beret-wearing, surrender monkey needs MASSIVE freeping at EVERY place he goes.

I'm hoping he comes to Minnesota.

I'm bookmarking this thread. This guy's itinerary needs to be posted and tracked. This guy needs to be hounded across the nation if he shows up, along with any goofy TV show or media outlet that supports him.

I slept through one year of French class, but I think the English translation for this name is Micheal Rivero?

This guy's barking up the wrong publicity tree by "promoting" his "book" in NYC.

Out of curiosity, does he offer an explination as to the whereabouts of the persons on the plane that struck the Pentagon if, ideed, it WAS a missile?

Looky:

Guess they don't want to wait until January.

Yes, you obviously missed that class. It's French for "Lew Rockwell".

Amazon seems like a good place to start the Freeping. The book has 3 -5 star reviews.

"the left-wing author"

Gosh, I didn't know there was such a thing as a "left-wing" author. I thought there were just right-wing wackos and, on the other side, normal folks like Al Gore and Noam Chomsky.
