If Trump lied about 9/11 celebrations in NJ, why did WaPo report in 2001 that it happened?

I just watched ABC News and there they were lying about this event. I seem to remember this also from 9-11 and yet the MSM trying to have revisionist history of their own coverage of an event that happened.

Can these idiots be any more in the tank for the Left than they are??????????

CBS did the same thing, saying that New Jeraey law enforcement couldn’t validate his claim.

One way to research this is to scroll back to threads from the time. I find it difficult to go back in my own “in forum “ from my home page because it’s hundreds of pages since I’m still breathing and posting. However, the Memorial Wall lists quite a few of our dear, beloved Freepers who died within months of 9/11/2001. Clicking on “in forum “ on their home pages puts you within a few clicks of 9/11 postings. There may be an easier way of doing it, but I just scrolled through Chief Negotiator and I John; they did not comment directly on celebrating Muslims . (BTW there was Freepathon going on on 9/11/2001.)
My own distinct memories of celebrants included resident doctors at the Cleveland Clinic who could not contain their joy; as I recall it, they were suspended and later deported. I am eyewitness to a car which traveled roads in Delaware , I believe and older Lexus at that time, with a lousy bronze colored paint job, white paint on both sides of the car “Allah Akbar.” Whoever it was, they were taking someone to work everyday. I never saw that car before 9/11.

Don’t like Trump. Will not vote for him. But anybody who thinks that there were not thousands of Muslims in Jersey City cheering for Al Qaeda on 9/11 is a blithering idiot. Two thousand Muslims in Jersey City in 2001 would represent about 13% of the Muslim population in Jersey City. 13% of Muslims in America support suicide bombers right now. That number rises to about 1 in 4 for 18-30 year olds.

It’s in the same memory hole as the WTC jumpers.

You're right. Scary isn't it.

From Powerline blog:

So NPR, the New York Times and the Associated Press searched contemporaneous news accounts and could find no evidence of Muslim-Americans cheering in Jersey City. That’s odd. Because it took me less than two minutes to find this story from the Washington Post dated September 18, 2001 (although I did have to spend $3.95 to buy it from the Post’s archives):

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I have no doubt that 20-30% of Muslims in America were doing the happy dance in front of or behind closed doors on 9/11/01.

My take is that Trump would be more effective than Cruz in pushing forward his agenda. It’s one of the reasons I support him. No knock on Cruz, but no one has the ability to cajole, pressure, and all around bull doze through the intransigent media and political class.

As far as the Kelo decision? It’s one issue among many. In practical terms, his support for it probably wouldn’t have much effect either way as President. It’s mostly an issue with the courts it would seem.

My feeling is there are too many issues in which he’s dead on to walk away because of his opinion on Kelo.

Now that you mention this I remember it. It was an odd consequence of 9/11, where otherwise undesirables were taking care of other undesirables and you were ok with it. I do remember this being on the local news.

Wow, your mention of my beloved 1 John really touched my heart!
I remember us watching Fox the morning of 911 and seeing the second plane hit.
Comforting to know John is safe and secure from all alarms, leaning on the everlasting arms!

“Everyone remembers it” now.

Because Trump said it.

He also was very good at duping people into MLM scams. I remember politely refusing a friend who wanted me to buy a Trump video phone.

"In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river."

If video exists, you can bet that some liberal newsroom is going to sit on it just as the Los Angeles Times acknowledges they have video of (pre-president) Obama toasting a Palestinian terrorist and won’t release it citing privacy concerns.
