A Couple of D-Minuses



Yes, Congressman Jason Chafetz is probably just being a politician in dealing with the WAC-jobs, but he humors them a bit too much for my tastes.

I have similar issues with this coverage of the Ontario Truth Nuts:

“Those thousands and thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel had to get out of the way virtually instantaneously as if they provided no resistance to the collapse,” he said. “It defies physics, it defies our scientific understanding of how things collapse.”

Pieces of building, including tonnes of steel, glass and concrete, were thrown out of the building, travelling 60 miles per hour and imbedding in buildings 600 feet away. If the buildings did collapse due to fire, Bondi questions why that happened. Molten metal was found in the rubble days after the attack, something that just doesn’t add up, he added.

Officially, the committee charged to investigate the collapse said the building “pancaked,” meaning the joints holding the floors in place buckled one after another due to the weight. But Bondi says that historically, no other buildings have ever collapsed in this manner.

“Ninety-thousand tonnes of metal decking is pulverized in mid-air ... that doesn’t make sense,” he said.


So now it's the metal decking that was pulverized?

Many congressmen aren't familiar with truthers or WAC. Most of them probably think We-Are-Change is some left over Obama support group. I know I've been conditioned to think "Obama" when I hear the words "change" or "hope."
This is typical of WAC and their ilk. They ask leading questions and pretend that they're open minded when in reality they've long since come to a conclusion on the whole issue. They get a congressman to answer "yes this is suspicious" to a few questions then claim "MORE AND MORE CONGRESSMEN ARE SUPPORTING THE TRUTH MOVEMENT!!!"
I'm sure staffers will be briefing their bosses about groups like these after the Medina fiasco.
"Uh Congressman, you do realize that you look batshit crazy on dozens of youtube videos now?"

Yes, Pat, the steel floor pans were pulverized too. You haven't been paying attention. Even if the concrete was somehow reduced to powder by the collapse, what happened to the decking? Gage says the guy who delivered the stuff went back to Ground Zero specifically because he wanted to see it. There wasn't any. 220 acres of steel floor decking just vanished.

"He humors them a little much for my tastes"!! Pathetic,arrogant,take your pick.Pat Curley's brain is fried,pickled and hampered by the most grotesque stalking mentality seen on the internet.As we recall,the obnoxious frat boy's tastes steer toward mentally deranged harassers and sniffing Ronald Weak's bunghole.

I resent that: I wouldn't let that fat, old, senile bitch's nose anywhere near my bunghole. A fine specimen like Ryan Mackey is another story, however. *swoon*...

Oh, and the column failed over 8 floors. There, I've explained everything.

So did everyone see all that carpet smoldering in the office building in Austin today? Wow, they must have had the carpet stacked 6 feet high.

And did you see how the fire went out after 20 minutes? No? Well, that's because you make up your own facts.

Also, the government conveniently scrambled F-16s (in Colorado Springs, of all places) only after the crash happened.

And given how many times the IRS receives threats, they must have SAM batteries on the roof of their buildings. Why were these not activated today?

It's all proof of an inside job.

So the great "congressman questioning 9-11" from the last thread turns out to be a fuckin' truthsquadding? Good god, you people are losers.

Caffrez was giving the typical politician's response to twoofers. He doesn't want to get into a public argument so he pretends to take their claims seriously but if twoofers think he is going to introduce a resolution in Congress calling for a new investigation of 9/11, they are very likely mistaken.

The news article was worse, it accepts the claims of twoofers' pseudoscience and membership claims at face value.

Nice pom-poms by the way."

PWWWFFFFRRRT!!

This is me taking a big, smelly, damn near toxic dump on your son's military service again, neo-fascist."


Bears repeating.

Just to expose to the world what a child you truly are.
