Olbermann is Right

Three words you will probably not hear me say again. But Andrew Napolitano (and Geraldo Rivera, for that matter) have become embarrassments to Fox News and should be kicked to the curb.

For some real hilarity, check out the comments at 9-11 Flogger. As usual, the kooks are deluding themselves into thinking that Keith said this with a wink and a nod:

Olbermann knows the truth
I wonder why he had the little notation "not really" with the photo. He's no dummy. He knows the truth. He's owned. Thank God for those like Olbermann for speaking out on other issues, but it''s so heartbreaking to have to tolerate his compliance with the network. He has been walking on thin ice lately, almost getting fired.

Olbernann said:

"OK. Napolitano is a truther. I don't have to agree with him. You don't have to disagree with him. But according to his employer's code of smear, they've got to fire him."

If said a certain way, one could assume "I don't have to agree with him" is equivalent to "I don't agree with him". But since Roger Ailes was the worst person target and not Napolitano, I would take Oblermann's words as carefully chosen and politically safe but not actually anti-truther. Nevertheless, I bet many will get the impression they are anti-truther.

This should not be misconstrued as Olbermann saying he thinks Napolitano should be fired. In effect, and to our great benefit, he is instigating a controversy at FOX, whether intentionally or not, that could lead to an explosion of discussion about 9/11 and Building 7.

I do think that Olbermann is more using the Truthers as a convenient club against his old nemesis, Fox News. But that doesn't mean that he's pro-Truther; I suspect he finds them just as wacky as we do.

Carl Cameron, Troofer?

I've always been a little suspicious of him since his whole bit on the Israeli Art Students. Not that it's not a legit story, but everybody I know that pimps it is pretty much a tinfoil hatter. And to listen to some of the stuff he comes up with here, while he's apparently unaware of being taped is pretty strong confirmation that he's a conspiracy fruitcake.

Unfortunately for the Minnesota WAC crew, the money quote comes when they did not have Cameron in the picture, so I can't be 100% sure that Carl himself said:

"It’s really hard to make the case that the buildings just imploded without some sort of an accelerant..."

An accelerant? Arson investigators would note that there was indeed an accelerant in the WTC; it was called jet fuel.

The Minnesota Changers have their transcript here. More pull quotes:

Cameron: In addition to what I reported, we knew the day after 9/11 that the Russians had warned us. The Russians had warned us of the attacks in September. The French and the British had warned us of hijacking planes. The Israelis and the Germans hadn’t, had warned us of a plane attack on the World Trade Center—all in the preceding eleven months. Now, you know, ninety nine times out of a hundred these warnings mean absolutely nothing. But these were like six, specific, generalized things, and they didn’t check.

I'd like to see some documentation of warning of a plane attack on the WTC, Carl. At a bare minimum he comes off as more Troofer-friendly than Van Jones.
