Rosie thinks 9/11 was staged...

Oh Ned, that's not how crazy conspiracy theories work.

Slaughtermeyer, isn't your post slightly misleading because it fails to mention that the alledged conspiracy was among agents of several goverments: the local, state and federal governments. I had the impression from your post that the only government involvement was by the US government, implying that the "real" conspiracy was by private folks such as the KKK.

Now KKK involvement I would believe. These folks have members who work for the various governments (such as Senator Byrd) and could have manipulated events. But this still would not make it a government conspiracy.

That's an interesting spin on the conspiracy, that the government agents involved were acting in their capacity as KKK members, not in their capacity as government agents. (I did not mean to imply that the "real" conspiracy was by private folks such as the KKK, and I really don't understand how you can come to the conclusion that I meant it that way). Have you been able to come up with any evidence that Jowers or any of the other people involved in the conspiracy had KKK connnections?

She'll have to use her mouth to earn a living in the common way, which I doubt she's any good at either.

The conspiracy nuts are a minority even there, although they tend to be the most vocal.

1. The fire didn't have to be hot enough to melt the structural steel, just hot enough to make the metal lose it's structural strength.

2. Jet fuel wasn't the only source of flammable material. the WTC was loaded with paper and flammable plastic stuff.

This is the complete story from today's Toronto Star (May 1, 2007). Emphasis added.

Toronto Star May 1, 2007

by Media Reporter, Antonia Zerbisias

Last Wednesday in the immediate aftermath of the announcement that dominated the American news agenda and cycle for days, CNN's Larry King was in hot pursuit of the story.

Rude, lewd, crude Rosie O'Donnell was leaving ABC's daytime talk show The View.

Naturally, King was obligated to seek out the The Combover Which Talks, Donald Trump.

"She's a disgusting person," said Trump., who who has been trading insults with O'Donnell since January. "She's a slob."

Then he called for censorship.

"Sadly, after the Don Imus thing, people are going to have to be, I guess, more careful as to what they are saying," he said, as if the former MSNBC morning man's rascist, sexist "nappy-headed hos" line equals grabbing your crotch and saying "Eat me" to The Ego Who Walks.

Insisting that O'Donnell had been fired instead of being unable to come to a contract agreement, Trump said O'Donnell was an "embarrassment to this country." That's because she had latched on to the growing "9/11 Truth Movement," which dismisses the official story about the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Considering her controversial year on The View, it's interesting that O'Donnell came to the end of the line just as she was demanding answers to questions that millions are now asking.

For that, the full might of Fox News rose up to smite her. Those who had bought and sold the WMDs fairy tale attacked O'Donnell for daring to question the generally accepted explanation for the collapse of the World Trade Center.

"In America, we are fed propaganda and if you want to know what's happenening in the world, go outside of the U.S. media because it's owned by four corporations. One of them is this one (ABC)," O'Donnell said in March, reaching an audience at least 15 times that of Fox News.

That's dangerous stuff. More dangerous than taking on Trump, who was followed on CNN by another outsized, outrageous woman: Roseanne Barr, also known for her crotch grabbing blunt talk.

Unlike all the blonde-trophy-second-wife types flanking old man co-hosts all over the TV grid, neither Barr nor O'Donnell shut up and look pretty.

Not a single mainstream media news show is hosted by a woman who is aggressive and candid, the way that Bill O'Reilly or Joe Scarborough are on Fox or Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. There is no no female David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel or Bill Maher.

Oprah Winfrey, as revealed on Bill Moyers' outstanding post-mortem on the pre_Iraq media last week, shut up audience members who questioned the Bushies. Ellen DeGeneres hasn't uttered a controversial word since she yelled, "I'm gay!" on her sitcom 10 years ago.

Has no network found the courage to offer, say, Sarah Silverman or Janeane Garofalo a playform? Or will O'Donnell's replacement be Red State straight?

King, who is floating the rumour that Barr could get the job, sought her opinion. "I think she has a lot of guts," said Barr. "And I think she put everything on the line to on and say things that real Americans were talking about and wanting to hear about and which is just, you know, pretty much non-existent in the media."

"I mean, we could hear stuff about Anna Nicole's baby and gossip and dieting every day until we are blue in the face. It's kind of like...dumbing women down and making them barefoot and pregnant again. And she changed that and I love her and I love freedom of speech."

So much for Barr's chances.

On the afternoon after O'Donnell made her announcement, she blogged about that day's taping for an upcoming episode of The View.

"(W)e had two 9/11 first responders both horrifically sick," she wrote, in her trademark lowercase freestyle poetry style. She spoke of all the unknowns in that smoking toxic New York rubble and wondered how many emergency workers and citizens would eventually suffer:

"i cried/got into my car drove/away from the studio/there were 3 dozen press people waiting/cameras video crews reporters/they leapt at the car/like I was britney or Lindsay/pushing flashing yelling/breaking news in america/i was the story, not (the sick emergency workers)/what's wrong with this picture?"

And that's why Rosie O'Donnell had to go. She messed up the pretty picture that the corporate media present.

She said it all.

Please tell me you have a DL, one that can be taken at least moderately seriously.

I hope Sarah Silverman never sees that. I can't imagine how angry she'd be about being compared to Janeane Garafalo.

[Dis]

can't make any new threads, but no comments on how Rosie got pwnd in a debate by a blonde bimbo from the view?

Maybe blondes aren't as dumb as I once thought.

So she turn and ran 3 weeks early.

Shows how much a loon she is. Her views are so far out there, a blonde can outwit her.

[SlowwHand]

She's a loudmouth ass.
