Rosie: Both Sides Now
Is she a 9-11 "Truther"? A letter writer to the Columbus Dispatch says yes:
Columnist Jonah Goldberg claimed that we shouldn't have to argue with crazy people, but in addressing his Thursday Forum column, "Rosie's rants aren't worthy of TV airing," that is exactly what I must do.
Goldberg said those who question the 9/11 Commission Report are crazy, but like many across the country, I do question it. By doing so, I demonstrate I am a reasonable and thinking person. It would be certifiable to blindly believe any version of truth supported by this secretive and lying administration.
Columbus911Truth.org has contacted countless universities, architectural firms, firemen and engineers in the search for even one 9/11 Commission Report "believer" who will stand up and defend the report's conclusions. We seek a 9/11 debate to help both sides understand each other. Unfortunately, it seems that people who are qualified to speak on the subject are on the side of the argument that Goldberg has labeled and libeled as "crazy."
In fact, not one structural engineer is on the side of the argument that Goldberg has labeled (correctly) as crazy. And I am sure that if a structural engineer volunteered to debate the kooks, Sherry (the letter writer) would not be debating structural matters for long before she started wheeling out the claims that "seven hijackers are alive," and "Mohammed Atta liked pork and cocaine and strippers".
The TV critic for the Chicago Sun-Times says no:
"Rosie O'Donnell is saying that our country, America, all right, attacked itself to launch the war on terror," O'Reilly has said, among other things.
Wrong. O'Donnell very clearly said she doesn't believe the U.S. government had anything to do with 9/11.
That's not quite correct, as he points out a few paragraphs later:
Conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked liberal O'Donnell if she thought the U.S. government had anything to do with the attack of 9/11.
"No, I have no idea" who blew up Tower 7, O'Donnell said, and later added earnestly, "We're gonna take a break. We'll be right back in America, land of the free, home of the brave."
The TV critic can be forgiven for not recognizing that Rosie's still at the "Jack Webb stage" of 9-11 Denial; she's "just asking questions, ma'am."

There is a scene in Monty Pythons Life of Brian.
Watching it is an Easter tradition in my house.
A huge crowd follows Brian home thinking he is the messiah, This is not liked by his mother but she does let him speak to the believers. Afterward one of the faithful asks Brian's mom if she is a virgin? Disgusted she turns away, the questioner turns to the crowd and says "She's a virgin alright"
It's amazing how much that movies reminded me of truthers, FOLLOW THE SHOE! NO! CAST OFF THE SHOE, FOLLOW THE GORD.
LIHOP, MIHOP, No-planer No-brainer.
The best thing about it is watching the talking heads lie about Rosie's comments because she even brought up the suggestion that explosives were used at WTC 7.
Makes you wonder why the pundits would lie, twist, and spin what she said to avoid addressing exactly what she said.
Especially when she said such profound things about steel being unmeltable.
Don't any of you twoofers out there find it mildly embarrassing that a dolt like Rosie is now your main spokesperson?
Does this not tell you something about your "movement?"
I don't get this "I didn't say the government did it" non-defense. Somehow the government would have to be involved in the destruction of a building inside a disaster area.
My life is complete:
I was banned from the Loose Change Forums for being a no-planer. I'm not a no-planer.
From "ask ro", April 8:

rosie i heard that you believe bush was responsible for 9/11 and i just wanted to know if that was true?
not true
its just what bill oreilly said
Maybe she blames the joooos?
Maybe she blames the joooos?
But don't they run the media and government?

I can't help but grin a little as someone on their own side, who defends them endlessly, on most issues, is now subject to their fascism.
Welcome to the world of 9/11 truth, where it is only the truth if they say it is the truth.

There are only two kinds of people who get banned from twoofer forums.
1) debunkers who expose twoofer lies and get banned because twoofers can't handle serious debate.
2) people who are too moronic for even most twoofers to tolerate.
Getting banned from a twoofer site for being too stupid takes one hell of a lot of stupidity.
1) debunkers who expose twoofer lies and get banned because twoofers can't handle serious debate.
It's not just debunkers, it's anyone who asks the tiniest question or raises the tiniest criticism of the local orthodoxy.
I bet that's why BG got the axe. He may be on the conspiracy side, but he has criticized certain twoofer theories and leaders. I bet he criticized someone the Avery Gang doesn't care to see criticized (Tarpley?).
