Steeler Running Back Has Lots of Intelligent Bones
His brain, not so much:
As spontaneous celebrations broke out in the hours after the nation learned bin Laden was shot dead by U.S. forces in Pakistan, Mendenhall used the social media site to denounce the response.
"What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side," Mendenhall wrote in a message posted to the social media site on Monday.
Some Twitter users responded by asking if Mendenhall would have said "the same thing when people celebrated Hitler's death," others said it was "ignorant" to give bin Laden the benefit of the doubt.
Mendenhall posted a series of about six Tweets, including one questioning whether the collapse of New York's Twin Towers was actually the result of al Qaeda hijackers flying planes into the buildings.
"We'll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition-style," said Mendenhall of the tragedy on September 11, 2001 that claimed 2,752 lives in New York City.

Yeah, I heard about this. Really though, who gives a fuck? Football players aren't exactly on the same intellectual plane as neurologists.
As a Steelers fan, I just want to say Mendy does not represent Steeler nation. I actually scolded him on Twitter. Sure, it was probably useless, but it made me feel better. And I ended with saying if he really didn't have an ignorant bone in his body to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR30IhksVVk&feature=channel_video_title
@Arcterus: Apparently they're on the same intellectual level as Theologians though.
He's a good player though. He may upset some Steelers fans with this, but he's definitely worth keeping on the team as long as he doesn't push it in the locker room.
Yeah, I don't think he intends to push this. He's playing damage control:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81fabcfd/article/steelers-mendenhall-apologizes-for-clarifies-tweets-on-bin-laden?module=HP_headlines
Yup. Either he was speaking with full emotion at the time and was truly offended that we were happy bin Laden was dead, so said some things he didn't mean, or he realized what bat shit crazy group he was getting associated with, or the Rooneys had a word with him.
Also, he's offended by people being happy OBL is dead, but yet has no problem posting things like this about women: "Going down on your man IS optional. It's either gonna be you, OR some other chick. #choosewisely"
He has since taken this tweet down as well. And this one was posted a few days before the OBL tweets.
He also made a blog post about the whole thing. unfortunately, he wonly addresses the "One side of the story" comment, and not his World Trade Center comment.
He's playing damage control:
But... but... but... 84% of Americans believe 9-11 was an inside job!
@Alan Yeah, I saw he only addressed the one comment. Like I said, damage control.
@Triterope 85%. Shill.
I care about what a dumbass jock thinks about 9/11 about as much as I care what Charlie Sheen thinks about 9/11.
I'd love to see Mendenhall and Luke Scott (the numbskull Baltimore Orioles player who is an outspoken birther) go at it, though.
Another looser from the past claims a shocking revelation:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/top-us-government-insider-bin-laden-died-in-2001-911-a-false-flag.html
I'd never heard of this kook before, but it appears Pieczenik been on the nutwagon since at least 20002. He claims he's still on the DoD payroll although the article has so much fiction in it, who would know if that claim is any more true than the rest of the bs.
Besides being a has-been, he also lives up to a couple of other twoofer characteristics:
Inflated ego:The character of Jack Ryan, who appears in many Tom Clancy novels and was also played by Harrison Ford in the popular 1992 movie Patriot Games, is also based on Steve Pieczenik.
Assuming one accepts his braggadocio it is something he could see himself doing: “I taught stand down and false flag operations at the national war college, I’ve taught it with all my operatives so I knew exactly what was done to the American public,” he added.
"Evidence" that strains credulity to say the least: During his interview with the Alex Jones Show yesterday, Pieczenik also asserted he was directly told by a prominent general that 9/11 was a stand down and a false flag operation, and that he is prepared to go to a grand jury to reveal the general’s name.
Why does need wait for a grand jury? Does he need to think of a name first?
As always, jackasses like AJ claim they are "great patriots" and like all patriots of the twoofer variety, they provide propaganda to anti-American outlets elsewhere.
Here is a link to a story in Venezuelan state media. It's in Spanish but its a basically a verbatim from the prison planet piece. The title translates to "Ex subsecretary of State says bin Laden died in 2001 and 9/11 was a false flag."
http://www.correodelorinoco.gob.ve/injerencia/ex-subsecretario-estado-bin-laden-murio-2001-y-119-es-una-bandera-falsa/
Thank god for "patriots" like Alex Jones!!!!
Thank god for "patriots" like Alex Jones!!!!
Yeah, I love how these "patriots" have their claims repeated by the media in Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc. You know, places where the governments just LOVE the United States....
Mendy said "SQUAwK!
Typical.
I have an unrelated question for you guys. I have a friend, sadly who is a birther,truther and deather and yesterday he trots out alex jones's latest. A guy by the name of Steve R. Pieczenik. The searches result in the same bio. I'm curious if you are aware of this and if an made to been effort has been made to verify his resume' or if you can advise how. Among other things he says he taught "False Flag" at the Military War College.
If you can, email me at kevinaw2@msn.com. I love history and therefore despise conspiracy theories. It kills me that a friend has bought the irrational theories

I'll make Mendy a deal, I won't celebrate bin Laden being sent to hell if he promises to quick celebrating each touchdown as if he just cured cancer.
Snuggy, congratulations! You found a typo, that’s more than the rest of the twoof movement has accomplished in years. You should really be proud of yourself!
Kevin, I posted a comment on Pieczenik just above yours. For the most part, most people don’t really pay attention to conspiracy theorists, so while some (such as this website) take issue with what they say, there is often little investigation of claims the individuals make about themselves. We can shoot down some claims such as Jesse Ventura being a Vietnam veteran or Bob Bowman heading Star Wars only because much of Ventura’s history is known since he was a Governor and a Major (Bowman’s supposed rank during the period in question) would never be in charge of a major military development project. Most twoofers are similar to “snug.bug”, losers who’ve never amounted to anything and never will, so if they make a bunch of assertions about themselves, most sane people aren’t going to waste their time checking.
There are a handful of twoofers who actually were noteworthy at one time, but often in the distant past. Paul Craig Roberts was a hotshot “supply side” economist in the early Reagan years but he started going downhill way before he became infected with twooferism. His decline can be seen in his various writings over the years as he became progressively more paranoid and on the fringe. Many of those with some past fame who come out as twoofers do so after being long forgotten. Pieczenik is clearly in this category and there are a couple of obvious problems with him. All the claims to fame appear to come from Pieczenik himself and therefore are suspect and you are surely aware the stories braggarts tell about themselves to people who don’t know better are often the farthest from the truth. Of course Alex Jones would accept them without question, but a real journalist wouldn’t without some corroboration. The claim to being the inspiration for Jack Ryan is the outsized whopper but plenty of the rest is in the laugher category as well, unless there is a credible source (and conspiracy theory websites clearly would not qualify) to the job at the war college, I wouldn’t lend it any credence. It may well be true he was a mid-level government functionary two or three decades ago and then over the years either mental illness or bitterness at someone or something caused him to slander his country by endorsing these dishonest and stupid conspiracy theories, but I would take very little of what he says about himself at face value.
Just an update: Mendenhall lost an endorsement deal with "Champion", an athletic apparel manufacturer.

"What kind of person celebrates death?"
Patriotic Americans glad that the mass murderer of 3,000 fellow citizens had his head blown off.
Spamming multiple threads with your lies degrades the quality of the forum, Gutterball. I didn't misrepresent anything.
A week ago were arguing that Barnett and Biedermann were supporting the claims that gypsum eroded the steel.
http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-america-became-land-of-truthers.html
Now you're not only agreeing that they did not support that claim, you're even claiming that Sisson doesn't support it either. But by dumping a lot of spam all over everything you're trying to make it look like I'm a liar in this, when I've been right all along.
Lying again, goat fucker?
Notice that the goat fucker's link doesn't point to any particular post I made. He just points you to a thread without mentioning which post he's referring to. There's a good reason for his deliberately vague claim: He's lying.
FACT: I never said "gypsum" was responsible for anything.
Get it through your thick skull, liar. The claim that gypsum was responsible for the erosion was made by the BBC, not Dr. Sisson.
Notice that the goat fucker is trying to pull a fast one and pretend that the BBC's remarks are Dr. Sisson's remarks. He's so arrogant that he thinks you can't see the flow of the quotation marks in the BBC article. Also notice that he can't show you an actual quote from Dr. Sisson where he allegedly claims "gypsum" was responsible for the erosion.
Thus, we can see, once again, that the goat fucker is a psychopath who will go to any length in order to lie, obfuscate, misrepresent the data and fake the evidence.
Once again, you FAIL, goat fucker.
Grade: F-
Squirm, goat fucker, squirm--you lying weasel.
I'm waiting pateintly, goat fucker.
Where are the direct quotes from Drs. Sisson, Beiderman or Barnett that support the lie that they argued "Gypsum" is responsible for the erosion? And a BBC misquote DOESN'T QUALIFY AS EVIDENCE.
Once again, you FAIL, goat fucker.

Here's the text. 4/29 00:26
The goat fucker continues to lie, "...Dr. Sisson's remarks on BBC are not corroborated by his colleagues Dr. Barnett and Dr. Biederman. Gee, why do you suppose that is?"
False.
Where's Dr. Barnett and Dr. Biederman's refutation of Dr Sisson's conclusions?
You can't produce the refutation. Then you're lying and misrepresenting Dr. Barnett and Dr. Biederman's opinion.
You are not only characterizing the gypsum statement BBC attributes to Sisson as his "conclusion", you are accusing me of lying when I point out that Barnett and Biederman didn't corroborate him.
Now, put up or shut up, goat fucker.
FAILURE TO PRODUCE DIRECT QUOTES FROM DRS. SISSON, BEIDERMAN AND BARNETT THAT PROVE THEY EVER MADE THE CLAIM THAT GYPSUM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EROSION WILL RESULT IN AUTOMATIC FORFEIT OF THE DEBATE. AND BBC MISQUOTES DON'T COUNT AS "EVIDENCE."
Now stop stonewalling and produce the evidence to support your lies, or fuck off.
Squirm, goat fucker, squirm--you lying weasel.
I gave you the direct quotes as follows:
"...This liquid slag corroded through intergranular channels into the body of the metal, causing severe erosion and a loss of structural integrity...'The important questions,' says Biederman, 'are how much sulfur do you need, and where did it come from? The answer could be as simple--and this is scary--as acid rain.'"" -- Dr. Beiderman
"I don't find it very mysterious at all, that if I have steel in this sort of a high temperature atmosphere that's rich in oxygen and sulphur this would be the kind of result I would expect."" -- Dr. Sisson, 2005
Now, put up or shut up, goat fucker.

LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT THE GOAT FUCKER CANNOT SUPPORT HIS FALACIOUS CLAIM THAT DRS. SISSON, BEIDERMAN AND BARNETT ARGUED "GYPSUM" WAS THE CAUSE OF THE EROSION.
THUS, YOU FORFIET THE DEBATE AGAIN.

Now, get out of here--you insane liar.
UtterFail, I never made such a claim.
This is what I mean about your firefighting skills. Instead of putting the fire out, you light other ones, and then you can't even put those ones out.
Bullshit! You made the claim in the following post:
http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2011/05/steven-jones-latest-research.html#c4210813949307682573
Not only did you lie, you contradicted yourself again, which proves that you're an insane liar who will say anything.
There's a reason why you never finished school--they expelled you for intellectual dishonesty, and I'm willing to bet they caught you cheating as well. Your behavior proves beyond a doubt that you're not high school material, let a alone capable of finishing university. You're a pig--scum of the earth.

The goat fucker contradicts himself and lies again.
Now, let's talk about something you really understand, goat molester: Sex stalking.
9/11 Sex Stalker Brian Good Unmasked!.
"...Bay Area 9/11 Truth Trivia Quiz:
Q: Who is Brian Good?
A: A sexually-frustrated wacko who, in his late 50s, still lives in his parents' basement in Palo Alto.
B. A bisexual stalker who targets famous 9/11 activists of both the female and male persuasions.
C. A coward who spends 18 hours a day hiding behind a keyboard and cyber-stalking the targets of his obsessions under a long list of pseudonyms, but is afraid to debate them live or on the radio.
D. All of the above."
Don't you have a troofer to sexually harass, goat fucker?
UtterFail, I never made the claim that you attribute to me. Thanks for demonstrating yet again your incompetence.
By resorting to the desperate ad hominem fantasies of the bigot, liar, and lunatic Kevin Barrett, you show your inability to muster facts to support your claims.
Spamming multiple threads with your lies degrades the quality of the forum
Says the deranged lunatic who has spent the last 2+ years posting endless dumbspam about his sex obsession with Willie Rodriguez, pointless questions from "widows", and magic thermite elves....
Ian, there's nothing pointless about fact that the 9/11 widows got only 27 answers to their 300 questions.
See what I mean?
What do you mean? What is pointless about the fact that the 9/11 widows got only 27 answers to their 300 questions?
What do you mean? What is pointless about the fact that the 9/11 widows got only 27 answers to their 300 questions?
Brian, the widows have no questions. I've told you this many times.
Ian, what you've told me many times is irrelevant. You've told me lies many times.
The widows have 273 questions outstanding, Shyam Sunder told NOVA that the buildings "essentially came down in free fall", I did not stalk anybody, and you are FOS.
Ian, what you've told me many times is irrelevant. You've told me lies many times.
False.
The widows have 273 questions outstanding, Shyam Sunder told NOVA that the buildings "essentially came down in free fall", I did not stalk anybody, and you are FOS.
Brian, your belief that the widows have questions is illogical. If they have questions, where are the answers? Obviously, they have no questions. The fact that you can't goes a long way towards explaining why you're so confused about 9/11.
Also, you were thrown out of the truth movement for stalking Carol Brouillet, you're illiterate because you can't read Dr. Sunder, and you're a failed janitor who lives with his parents and spends every waking hour calling people "girls" on the internet.
Ian, your syllogism goes.
A: Questions have answers
B: There are no answers
therefore
C: There are no questions
is just typical Iananity. You think you're funny. Maybe if you're really really nice to James Randi he'll give you some pointers about improving your act. But be warned, his taste in young men is not everybody's.
Sunder told NOVA that the buildings "essentially came down in free fall", as anyone who checks the link can see.
I didn't stalk anybody, and you haven't provided any credible evidence that I did.
Aw, isn't it cute to see a failed janitor and lunatic use big boy words like "syllogism"?
Brian, if the widows had questions, they would have answers. Since they don't have answers, they obviously never had questions. QED. You're not very bright, are you?
Sunder told NOVA that the buildings "essentially came down in free fall", as anyone who checks the link can see.
I checked the link. He does not say this. You are a liar.
I didn't stalk anybody, and you haven't provided any credible evidence that I did.
False.
Poor Brian, it must be tough being pwn3d every night by people much smarter and more successful than he is.
Ian, you seem to think it's funny to display faulty logic and you lie.

Round and round and round he goes.
