9/11 "Truthers" a Pack of Liars
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-shermer/911-truthers-a-pack-of_b_84154.html

From Michael Shermer, the skeptic that every truther loves to hate.

He posted it last week, but I didn't see it here. Some posters here might be interested. Others, probably not.

1. Just an observation....
don't even know if i'll be back to this thread, but the comments section looks like a copy and paste DU 9/11 thread. With the same results. Thanks.

2. He got it wrong in his Holocaust comparison



"Such as the fact that steel melts at a temperature of 2,777 degrees Fahrenheit, but jet fuel burns at only 1,517 degrees Fahrenheit. No melted steel, no collapsed towers."

...

No holes in the roof of the gas chamber at Krema 2 means that the eyewitness account of SS guards climbing up on the roof and pouring Zyklon-B gas pellets through the holes and into the gas chamber below where the prisoners were herded into, means that the eyewitness account is wrong,

...


No holes, no Holocaust. No melted steel, no Al-Qaeda attack.
The parallels are equal, and equally flawed.



There are a lot of eyewitness accounts of people talking about molten steel, and that is certainly not a case for Al Qaeda.

8. Metallurgy reports?
Any Metallurgy reports on the "molten steel" ? You can't tell what type of metal it is by simply looking at it. You can't even "pick up" molten steel because the temperature would mess up the equipment.

So again, Metallurgy reports?

4. head up his ass is more like it!
So he can smell his own shit no doubt. He's had years to look at all of the evidence and still ignores what doesn't suit his profit agenda. Shermer's a quack. :eyes:
