And the people on the news channels who invite them on (which is up to and the right of each news network) don't bash or criticize them? (I ask b/c I don't pay attention when they are brought on any program). I know I saw a program on Nat Geo or History i forget that followed the film makers of on eof the bigger 9/11 conspiracy documentaries. Like they always do,they brought on the skeptics but they portray both views without much slant. They let each side give the arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birthers are brought on, and generally given the opportunity to explain their point of view, but it's usually quickly apparent that they are full of s*** and they end up getting mocked/shouted down because the host gets frustrated. Orly Taitz herself is probably the perfect example. Then she has the nerve to claim bias in the liberal mainstream media because she is insane and didn't actually answer any of their questions, lol.

Cknolls Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) We did not have serious congressional representatives advancing the conspiracy theories of 9/11 or JFK, etc. How many Republicans have winked a "no comment" when confronted in order to keep from dissuading the minions, or worse introduced legislation in the spirit of the birther movement? http://www.911truth.org/osamas/mckinney.html#interview In fact, Mrs. Clinton was the first high-profile Democrat to shatter the bipartisan unity that swept the nation after the 9/11 attacks. On May 16, 2002, she took to the Senate floor waving a copy - ironically - of that day's New York Post, with its front-page headline "Bush Knew," a story about the then just-discovered pre-9/11 presidential daily briefing warning of coming terrorist attacks. "I am simply here today on the floor of this hallowed chamber to seek answers to the questions being asked by my constituents," Hillary explained. "Questions raised by one of our newspapers in New York with the headline 'Bush Knew.' "The president knew what? My constituents would like to know the answer to that and many other questions. ... As for the president, he may not be in a position at this time to respond to all of those concerns, but he is in a position to answer some of them, including the question of why we know today, May 16, about the warning he received. Why did we not know this on April 16 or March 16 or February or January 16 or August 16 of last year?" http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/200...31/130028.shtml Maybe the first two are not "serious congressmen/women" as you put it, but the current Secretary of State.

Chet Lemon Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) That doesnt bother me nearly as much as the number of people who believe someone other than Al Qaeda was responsible for 9/11 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) Doesn't even come close to the numbers who believe The Evil George Bush was behind it. You were the one who said you were bothered by those who believe someone other Al Qeda was responsible. I am too. 70% of Americans thought it was Saddam in '02 (40% believed the same in '07 per Newsweek poll), and you asserted that those numbers don't come near those who believe George Bush was behind it, that means a lot. I was just underscoring your point of the vast number of people who believe someone besides Al qaeda was responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the Palin phenomenon is so much bigger than one person and is universal. You can participate by thread jacking! See how open Palin 2012 is?! It is an amazing paradox, it's not just about Palin, but it's all in her name! It's cosmic man. A beautiful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
