32. Ridicule, violent opposition, then acceptance as self-evident....
"All truth passes through three stages:

First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

16. Lies and Blind Patriotism can only go so far.
Well, in the case of the 3rd Reich, pretty far actually... but it still has a shelf life.

Here is some testimony from McKinney's hearing last year, good 9/11 Commission de-bunking, mostly by experts;

THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT ONE YEAR LATER... A CITIZENS’ RESPONSE – DID THE COMMISSION GET IT RIGHT?

20. I think it's simmering below the surface.
I believe it's there, but the corporate media and the neo-conservative spin machine won't let reports on it out into the mainstream.

As a result, these thousands of people who believe there is a cover-up regarding what truly happened on 9/11 think they're alone and, as we know, people won't do something to show their outrage if they think they're alone.

21. Waves
Alex Jones' Prediction (he's been right so far):

Charlie Sheen is the forerunner of the third wave of 9/11 skeptics to go public.

The first wave was concerned and informed American and worldwide citizens who educated themselves and formed action groups and organizations to inform others.

The second wave was former government officials and people of high office risking their political reputation to voice their doubts on 9/11, people like Paul Craig Roberts, Professor Steven Jones, Michael Meacher and Andreas von Buelow.

The third wave is high profile individuals who already have a substantial media platform from which to speak the truth, Hollywood stars and cultural icons. Charlie Sheen must be commended for risking his entire career for the sake of the truth and the future of America.

The fourth and final wave will be people who were in government at the time of 9/11 or those employed by the Bush administration at the time of 9/11, such as secret service officials and others close to the administration, going public with what they know. By this I don't mean watered down shills like Richard Clarke but individuals with hardcore information that could be the catalyst for impeachment.

At that point the call for a new independent investigation of 9/11 will be deafening and impossible to ignore any further.

Our efforts in stalling these control freaks is really beginning to pay dividends. Our patience for freedom will outlast their lust for power and the human spirit will triumph over evil.

11. I don't think most voters meant MIHOP or LIHOP
I am assuming most poll voters meant that the Administration covered up certain details, which they did in stonewalling the 9/11 Commission.

I mean it's worded in a way that doesn't specifically relate to MIHOP or LIHOP and sadly I still think a large portion of our country does not believe anyone in our country would be capable of such an act.

23. When they witnessed the non response from Katrina

See the non response to Global Warming

See how the Medicare Pharmacy issue doesn't work

See the oil prices go up and down at will

See how everytime they make a huge boo boo some building has to be cleared out in Washington for a bomb scare

Hear Cheney wait 24 hours before reporting that he shot someone AND know that the Secret Service and the Doctors traveling with him HAD TO know what happened and they LIHOP that he got away with it


And EVERY DAY see that the building of schools in Iraq could not possibly be going well because the text books and children would have bullets in them

Then ~ any person with an IQ of more than 96 would understand that somebody is Letting A LOT happen on Purpose.

35. Maybe
But I tend to think many Americans would rather have someone bullshit them to their face than tell them their country and all the ideals they were taught in school about where they live are all lies.

MIHOP and LIHOP forces people to face how bad our government really is and that scares the shit out of people. So most of them would rather remain ignorant or think that politicians fighting over petty bills in congress is the worst they actually do.

14. But Sean Hannity said he sounds like a nut
He also says that global warming wasn't caused by republicans, industry, or his SUV. He thinks God is causing it because He's angry at liberal abortionists.

He thinks the situation in Iraq is a badge of honor to the Buxh administration, and that Donald Rumsfeld is a great American.

He says we have the strongest economy since Ronald Reagan and we're mired in the "Clinton/Gore recession".

...Funny, when he says someone "sounds like a nut" I raise my eyebrows.

19. Football-Field Jaw has a lot of room to talk . . .
Personally, I find people who not only vote the most incompetent puppet American politics has seen since Warren Harding into office TWICE, but have the gall to justify such actions as not-of-this-earth whackjobs.

The strongest economy since Reagan? My dad was laid off twice during The Reagan/Bush decade of destruction. When I got my AA in '91, the places that didn't have signs on their doors stating "Not Accepting Applications or Resumes at this Time" were like caves. Rows of empty cubes. Not a whole lot of anything going on.

Who needs cartoon characters like Hannity?

17. Monday Morning, CNN's American Morning...
Not even a mention yet...0600 hours CST...but you get the feeling that there's a huge elephant in the studio and they are furiously ignoring it.

lead stories? Iraqi violence, wife shoots preacher, six dead in seattle shooting spree, Duke U Lacrosse team rape allegations, dirty mexicans taking over the southwest, the ever present bird flu, missing black boys (seriously? they never cared before!), Muslim Madonna, flood potential in Hawaii....

Maybe they don't read their own polls.

From Miles, when referring to Republicans sniping at Bush, "They're starting to act like Democrats now..."

Ha-freakin'-Ha Miles!

22. LOL What?
Do you mean, CNN won't discuss it?! ;) They seized upon the attention Sheen gave to it to "test the waters" a bit. They're sunk and the know it.

36. Where were you last week?
The poll's been up since Wednesday.

They read the poll results, they read the viewer comments, The host thinks somethings wrong with the official story. He had Webster Tarpley on for the Wednesday show and Alex Jones on both Thursday and Friday's shows.

He had Eric Jong call Bush a dictator , He had Sharon Stone , And Seth Green praising Charlie Sheen for speaking out.

It was like a downright sanctioned event.

google around, you'll find the interviews
