...MS-NBC spent much of its Monday prime-time promoting the spurious contention that intelligence agencies may have deliberately allowed the attempted Christmas Day plane bombing to proceed in order to make Obama look bad. This contemptible idea was floated during the "Countdown" comedy hour when The Sportscaster reported "Breaking News" that White House sources believe the intelligence community's failure to stop the plot "might have been intentional and not accidental." Further, "the information was in some way deliberately withheld from some higher or broader authority to make someone look bad," leaving little doubt that the victim of this new, vast right-wing...

No no, just kidding: There’s no “maybe” here. On the contrary, he blithely asserts that “there’s no question about it,” which precipitates the first and likely last defense of George W. Bush ever mounted by David Shuster. But then, this is the same guy who once claimed that Karl Rove planted the phony memos that destroyed Dan Rather’s career, who called for nationalizing America’s oil industry, and who thought it’d be super-keen to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. Chock full o’ good ideas, he is; it was only a matter of time before he stumbled across this one.

Here is video of Democratic Rep. Maurice Hinchey accusing the Bush administration of intentionally letting Osama Bin Laden "get away." Rep. Hinchey said "we apparently intentionally let Bin Laden get away." Hinchey said the Bush admin. let Bin Laden get away because "they knew very well if they captured Al-Qaeda there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq." (Video)

"Look what happened with regard to our invasion into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally let bin Laden get away. How we intentionally did not follow the Taliban and al-Qaeda as they were escaping. That was done by the previous administration because they knew very well that if they would capture al-Qaeda, there would be no justification for an invasion in Iraq," Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) said.

In which Gateway Pundit does the Googling that Obama refuses to do. Although honestly, at this point I think Jones’s hiring is best explained not as a breakdown in vetting but as a goof by Obama to see just how much crap the media will let him get away with. “Hey Rahm — bet you 20 bucks I can get a Truther communist appointed to an environmental oversight position.” Birthers at the town halls … and Truthers in the White House. Which has gotten more press coverage? NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) – An alliance of 100 prominent...

TEL AVIV – President Obama's controversial "Green Jobs" adviser, Van Jones, signed a statement that alleges the Bush administration may have deliberately allowed the 9/11 attacks, perhaps as a pretext for war. The Gateway Pundit blog found Jones' name among 100 signatories of notable American citizens in the 9/11 statement, which called for an investigation and the formation of an independent inquiry to determine whether members of the Bush administration were involved in the attacks. Jones signed the 2004 statement as the director of the Ella Baker Human Rights Center. The statement, facilitated by the 911truth.org conspiracy website, calls for...

Truthers are stranger than fiction.I've been reporting for a while about what a radical whackjob President Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones is --not was, is-- and then out of the blue we learn Jones thinks President Bush orchestrated the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.Sweet.

BALTIMORE (Map, News) - E-mails from Holocaust museum shooting suspect James von Brunn indicate that in addition to being a racist, an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier, he also wrote of his belief that 9/11 was a government conspiracy. Von Brunn mentioned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in an e-mail criticizing last month's dueling speeches on national security by President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. He wrote that "all informed men" know Sept. 11 was "a USA-Israel inside job."Suspicion of government involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks has grown more widespread. A 2006 poll by Scripps Howard...

I was doing some research after I read this post: Zogby poll: 42% of Democrats think Bush either caused 9/11 or let it happen http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1892394/posts I then found this and if I'm not mistaken Press T.V. is Iranian T.V. Poll: US gov't knew about 9/11 attacks (snip) According to the Press TV-Zogby International poll, 42.5 percent of the respondents believed that the Bush Administration knew about the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center but did nothing to prevent the attacks. http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=22746&sectionid=3510203

I guess we should be grateful it’s not a clear majority, eh? You can thank the turds at 9/11 Truth for commissioning the poll; SLC spotted it earlier and has since been digesting the numbers. Spend some time with the data, paying special attention to question 402 starting on page 5 of the PDF. The results run on for several pages as Zogby breaks it down by age, region, religious belief, even gun ownership. The data for party affiliation comes on page 8. Here’s the most interesting bit, though, which I’ve taken the liberty of screencapping and highlighting. Click for...

Syllogism Test: (Get your Venn diagrams out, kids) Given the following two statements: Most Troofers are MIHOP All LIHOP are Troofers What conclusion can we make: A.) All LIHOP are MIHOP B.) Some MIHOP are LIHOP C.) Both A and B D.) Either A or B but not both E.) All Troofers are WHACKOS

"Did Someone Do This to Him?"

I was lurking over at the Screw Loose Change forum this morning, and one of their blog post today is from The Pilots for Denial blog. A DUmmie calls the FBI and claims to have MIHOP, LIHOP info on 9/11. http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2006/12/just-in-case-you-wondered-what-would.html The phone call was soo funny, I just had to post it on FR.

<p>FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ON NOT CAPTURING BIN LADEN: 'At least I tried. That's the difference between me and some, including all the right wingers. They ridicule me for trying. They had eight months to try, they did not try. I tried. So I tried and failed'...</p>

While ABC came under assault from the left in this country for even thinking to air something critical of the Clinton administration's role in the leadup to 9/11, Canada's leading broadcast network was doing the very opposite: airing a "documentary" exploring the idea that the Bush White House was behind the attacks that killed thousands of Americans (often called MIHOP in leftie circles): On the eve of the 9/11 remembrance ceremonies, the leftist, anti-Bush Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Canada’s national public broadcaster, aired an outrageous and disgraceful documentary on a Sunday news program regarding half-baked 9/11 conspiracy theories that only served...

What is a good response for those who question why the Secret Service did not immediately remove Bush from the classroom on 9/11 when, at the time, it would have been reasonable to consider him a target?

Serious movement in D.C. – and if I hadn't been there, I would not have believed it. For several months Joan Wire and her daughter have been trying to secure an appointment with a highly effective government official we'll simply call Mr. Washington. Joan Wire is the stalwart wife of Mike Wire. Mike is the storied "man on the bridge," the single most critical eyewitness in the saga of TWA Flight 800, the 747 that was inexplicably blown out of the sky on the night of July 17, 1996. The CIA built its notorious zoom-climb animation around Mike's position on...

Remember back in 200 when George W. Bush was running for President? Even if you didn't support him, you were somewhat anticipating a Presidency with this amusing guy who didn't know the names of foreign leaders and who spoke with the eloquence of a second greater. Remember how after he was elected,Comedy Central even saw his Presidency as being whimsical enough to create a show, "That's my Bush." It was a laugh a minute back in those Bush salad days. Now we have quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, a budding world war centered around Israel, $3 a gallon gas, $85...

The nitwits who are incapable of understanding the grivity of lying to get us into Iraq, and then outing a CIA agent as retaliation for exposing this lie....well, they don't deserve to be American citizens because they lack the intelligence to vote!

According to CNET, the US Justice Department is giving the full Jack Abramoff to a bill sponsored by Sen Mike DeWine (R-OH) requiring all ISPs to build a dedicated info-structure for government eavesdropping. If this passes, yours, mine, and everybody’s Web surfing will be fair and legal game for Big Blowhard to peruse. What are its chances? 2006 is another election year soon to be tainted by Karl Rove’s with-us-or-against-us strategy. If he has his way by this fall, legislators who don’t support the Bush Adm’n’s newest national security measures may as well show up at campaign events wearing a...
