Like I Said Yesterday
This Common Dreams article takes a long time to get into CT-land, but there are little hints along the way about connecting "dots". The payoff finally comes here:
The controversies rage on yet today about the events of September 11, 2001. No steel building has ever collapsed from fire alone. Buildings falling precisely into their footprints are the marks of deliberate (and expert) demolition. The faulty construction/foreshortened lifespan/insurance angle. The collapse of a third building that was not hit at all. The short-selling of airline stock in previous days. The Pentagon hit by a missile, not a civilian airliner. Michael Rupert’s book “Crossing the Rubicon” lays the blame for 9/11 directly at Dick Cheney’s feet. Senator Robert Dole’s former chief of staff, Mr. Stanley Hilton, claims he can prove George Bush signed an order authorizing the attacks. Half the people polled in New York city believed the Bush Administration had prior knowledge of the attack, and “consciously failed” to act. Et cetera.
Interesting; that's the first I've heard of Stanley Hilton and his proof, but apparently he sued President Bush and other administration officials; the lawsuit was thrown out in 2004. As usual, we can turn to the Deniers for a debunking. Apparently Hilton's a thorough nutter.
But as I was saying yesterday, this new "Press for Truth" by the Left is coming as a direct result of the Democrats announcing they were not interested in pursuing impeachment. The writer of the piece, R.W. Behan says:
The victorious Democrats’ response was even more surprising, and also unreal. “Impeachment is off the table” quickly became the mantra: let us instead proceed with raising the minimum wage. Apparently the Bush Administration’s record is flawless, showing nothing remotely approaching a high crime or a misdemeanor. Impeachment would be a “waste of time.”
Behan returns to this theme again at the end:
The new Congress has no greater Constitutional duty than to find this truth and display it, if our nightmarish politics is to end. If such inquiries clearly exonerate the Bush Administration, the nation can breathe deeply and go on. If they do not, then but only then should impeachment be undertaken.

Heaven forbid that the new congress should move forward with their agenda of congressional change. Last I checked, the american people elected them, not just the "truthers". the american people wanted change in the congress, now they have it. The author clearly had an anti-bush agenda, which taints all he writes. Next he'll do an Alex Jones, and claim that both DEMS and REPS are part of a unified evil CABAL.

OK, let me get this straight:
These Twoofers are complaining that the Democratic Party isn't pushing their agenda. Even though re-investigating 9/11 wasn't the tiniest issue in any Congressional race. Even though the Twoofers didn't campaign for the Dems, frequently accused them of being in on the conspiracy, and ran Twoofer candidates against them in some races.
What pathological conceit.
These people don't need medication, they need a foot up their ass.

People think I'm engaging in hyperbole when I say that the twoofers support the terrorists. People say it's just BDS or somesuch. It's not. These people don't just hate Bush, they hate America and wish for the terrorists to succeed to advance their agenda of disrupting the country, just as they want an impeachment to disrupt the country. These are bad, evil people.
Good one, Remdem. You really nailed the style of it.

hahahah that one was real good.
CommonDreams is another group that has accepted 9/11 Denial (actually there have been many Denier articles posted there in the past) as a matter of convience. It requires no thought. Bush is evil or America is evil, case closed.
The far left used to be staffed by well-meaning but occasionally misguided people. Unfortunately, the well-meaning quotient has dropped and the misguided hate quotient has risen.
