Bush Had Prior Knowledge of 9/11, Sez 35% of Dems

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

My faith is somewhat restored.

Figure Dems at 40% of the US population @ ~ 35% truthers
Indies at 20% w/ best guess ~ 25% truthers
GOP at 40% w/ best guess ~8% truthers

Thats probably still around 20-25% of the total populace.

Your wife seriously thinks the US was behind 9/11?

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

No she thinks US knew of impending attacks and chose to do nothing. Seriously. Scary.

I think one of my best female friends has become a Truther.

Drogue you loser, you deleted my post. I see the apolyton double standard is in full force. I guess that is what happens though when you allow European tolerance pushers that use terms like "hate speech" to be mods.

When you allude to a "final solution", as well as the usual anti-gay comments, I think deleting it and terming it "hate speech" is pretty fair. Especially when I acted because it was reported by a non-left-wing American.

As I said in our PM, you are a nobody, which is why you are are the mod of a gaming forum trying to push your leftist ideology on everyone. What I posted was tame in comparison to what our left wing followers of the tolerance doctrine have posted.

Which you've never reported. It's like not voting and then complaining about the result - if you find posts someone else makes, click the post report button. I will read it and look into it, and if I agree, act upon it, as I did here. It's very simple.

I will point out to everyone that EoN wasn't actually banned for what he said in his post (that was just a warning), but for replying to my PM with a load of insulting gibberish. Unless the hate-speech is extreme, it gets a warning first.

Then you'll be even more frightened to learn that a majority of young adults (18-24) already believe that it is likely that "people in the federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East" according to a Scripps-Howard poll taken last year.

This is a good indication that eventually a majority of all Americans will believe the truth about 9/11 as the old people die off. If you have kids, make sure they always keep their blinders on.



And a visit to New York City might be a scary experience for you, because in 2004 a Zogby poll asked New York City residents if they believed that “some of our leaders knew in advance attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and consciously failed to act.” 49.3 percent said yes.

Oh go away already.

Seriously, enough with the conspiracy theories already, it just makes you look dumb.

So, the 8/6/01 memo means nothing to you?

[Berzerker]

it means they didn't take the threat seriously enough and didn't have specifics. But it is interesting that while they had red flags we weren't told much at all, certainly no terror alerts and color codes. If it was widely known by Americans than AQ had tried to use planes as flying bombs to hit skyscrapers I doubt the passengers would have acquiesced. They were asleep, we were asleep, and Clinton/Bush did little to wake us up...

Much as Berz says re: my takes on the 8/6/01 memo, OTOH she feels the admin had even greater insight and intel as to specificity of the attacks re: when and where they would happen.

[C0ckney]

so the people thinking that the US government was somehow involved in 9/11 are now becoming mainstream?

[Drake Tungsten]

Amongst Democrats, yes.

[SlowwHand]

Amongst gullable peole. Not all democrats are gullable.

It's becoming mainstream in Britain too:
