A Truther with a Moment of Integrity, Better Late than Never
I don't often say nice things about Truthers, but I have to give some credit to long time Truther, and Russia Today news host Abby Martin, for finally having some integrity and recognizing the fact that she works for a propaganda arm of the Russian government.
I was a bit amused by the headlines and discussion over at 911 Flogger that she had been "outed" as a Truther though. I didn't realize that it was ever a secret.
Now if only she would apply this skepticism to her other nutty beliefs...
On a related note, another host at Russia Today actually went one step further and quit on the air. Waiting for Abby to follow.

At Flogger, she's basically saying she's not a truther, she's just a truther.
A truther with integrity has yet to be found.

If they belive 9/11 was an inside job, then yes they have no integrity.
Orphia-nay says that no truthers have integrity.
You're either saying a) all truthers believe 9/11 was an inside job and have no integrity or b) some truthers don't believe 9/11 was an inside job, but those who do have no integrity.
Which is it? If a), you're claiming knowledge you can not possibly have (not unusual for you). If b) you're agreeing with me that orhia_nay is FOS.

Unsurprisingly, Brian counts anyone who happens to have a problem with the investigations in any capacity or their outcomes as a "truther". When in reality truthers are crackpots who believe in [insert insanely implausible scenario here].

GMS, of the dozens of signatories to the 911Truth Statement, I don't think I can name any who has gone on record saying 911 was an inside job. I doubt you can name many, if any. But they are the core of the truth movement-—people who, as I do, have problems with the questions the government has declined to answer, and with the covered-up information that the government thinks we have no right to know.
The movement of kooky kooks you invent for your own amusement is something else, and includes people such as Barrett and Rodriguez who may have deliberately tried to make the movement look bad to serve their own ends.
Though many activists claim that the 2100 architects and engineers believe that the WTC was destroyed with explosives, but in fact the petition is more moderate, simply calling for investigation of the possibility that explosives may have been used. I would not have signed the petition myself had the language been less moderate than that, and I would not sign the Rethink911 petition which was less moderate.
If you're a truther, you lie to yourself and are wilfully ignorant and spread lies to others.
That means you have no integrity.
Just because you have some qualifications after your name, or have lost a family member does not make Da Truth the truth.
Name one person on my two lists who spreads lies and is wilfully ignorant, orphia-nay.
Abby Martin probably cleared her statement with her bosses before hand and if this was just a "one off" I'm not sure I'd give her too much credit. If he is routinely claiming Putin is full of shit on every broadcast, that would be different. If she returns to reporting the Kremlin perspective as fact, I think there statement will only have been a propaganda coup for her in RT by pretending she has journalistic liberty.
Since she is a troofer, she is still and idiot, although she is about the only female troofer who is good looking, so she at least gets points in that department.
So ConsDemo, are you saying that all the following truthers are idiots?

Hello! I have an opportunity to see Richard Gage in a few days. Can I ask for the best list of websites debunking thermite, nanothermite, and addressing any rebuttals Gage, Harrit, or Griffin may have produced? if you can please send to 'countone@hotmail.ca'
Kount, I have some arguments against nanothermite and Dr. Griffin and Mr. Gage, but I have no particular interest in articulating them. I will look forward to slapping down the stupid arguments that posters here will assert.
Well, it's good to see that Brian is spamming this blog with pointless lists again.
Brian, a simple rule of thumb. If any of the people from your lists agrees with you on 9/11, they have no integrity and are idiots.
I'm guessing, however, that none agree with your lunatic beliefs on 9/11, since none of them are failed janitors who live with their parents and are too incompetent to get decent haircuts.
Also, I'll mention that Brian STILL hasn't managed to get a single question from the widows answered. Not one.
5+ years and counting.....
I doubt you can name many, if any.
This is true. Brian is not a truther since he was banned from the movement for being a liar and a sex stalker. Thus, his belief that the Bush administration destroyed the towers using magic spray-on thermite and invisible silent explosives cannot be held against the truth movement.
It's just one lone pathetic lunatic's delusions.
It thinks it's funny.
It thinks it's funny.
Yup, the classic humiliated, hysterical response of a failed janitor with a hideous haircut who has been pwn3d.
Hey Brian, have your lists of random people gotten the widows questions answered yet? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
Kount, I have some arguments against nanothermite and Dr. Griffin and Mr. Gage, but I have no particular interest in articulating them.
Translation: I've given my opinions of what happened on 9/11 before, but every time I do, I've been mocked mercilessly by the sane people on this blog, and I end up squealing and crying and calling them "girls".
So even though my mind is malfunctioning, I've learned never to say what I think happened on 9/11.
Its logic is so confused it thinks the fact that the widows' 273 questions have not been answered is a reason that they should not be answered, instead of a reason that they should.
Its logic is so confused it thinks the fact that the widows' 273 questions have not been answered is a reason that they should not be answered, instead of a reason that they should.
The widows have no questions.
You're a liar, Ian. The widows had 300 questions, and only 27 were answered. The widows have 273 questions--and your lies are helping to keep them from the truth they deserve.
