Thank you for the offer Rowane. I’ll just keep busy with the liberal ponderances. Those are so far removed from reality that I don’t actually need any more examples for proof.

Liberal CTs don’t subscribe to logic. They are the touchy-feely people. Hahaha!

Ladamigo,

Been sippin’ a li’l Kool Aid? Do ya think Sharaton is owned by the gubmint? O, if I could just go back in time with a camcorder just to show that the Pentagon was hit by a frickin’ PLANE! That a thousand witnesses weren’t be wrong after all; it was frickin’ Flight 77, already. That means that it was a frickin’ PLANE! Say it with me: AIRPLANE!

Now I need some sleep…

I have no trouble in accepting the government version of 911.

But why can’t we be trusted to watch the video taken from the rooftop of a nearby hotel of the Pentagon crash? How much longer will the government sit on that?

These CTs are certifiable. Can any one of them even spell the word “logic?”

Well DannoJyd, if you really want it I can probably get you a copy in a newsgroup.

Love the part where Penn Gillette encourages viewers– if they ever run into any of these 9/11 conspiracy pukes– to feel free to “throw them down a flight of stairs” without reservation. Precious.

Well rats!

It is a shame that they felt the need to pull their footage. I would have been more inclined to purchase it if we could at least see a teaser…

Time for me to go price it. ;o)

After watching the video, I have to congratulate Penn on his controll. Some of the epitaths that came out of my mouth when the 2 idjits were talking about their “theories” would have made a sailor blush and run for the soap.

Allah, we love that linked debunking of Loose Change every bit as much as you do, especially since it saves us having to listen to Dylan Avery’s voice again whenever we want to pinpoint the time of something in the movie. That was compiled by poster named Gravy (for the brain?) over at the JREF forums, which is another great resource for debunkers:

BTW, thanks for posting the P&T video. I’d seen it before, but as always when you come back to something you see it with new eyes based on what you’ve learned in the meantime. Hufschmid (the nerdy, bald “Truther” in the video) is a real piece of work–Holocaust and Apollo moonwalk denier in addition to his 9-11 “theories”.

[...] I recently learned about an interesting video compiled and narrated by Penn & Teller debunking the lunatics who believe 9/11 was a Bush/Rove conspiracy. The loose screws crowd is handed their crazy behinds in the report. Please note there is some strong language in this video and I wouldn’t recommend it for work – unless you have headphones handy. Enjoy. Oh, one last thing if you are one of the loose screws type – I suggest you go wrap yourself in tin-foil and duct tape your skull cause your brain is going to explode as it takes in the logic.

Great video! It was also informative as I had no idea that 49% of New Yorkers thought the attacks were a government plot.

It does also explain how Hitlary got elected. :o)

I’ve been a huge fan of Penn and Teller’s Bullsh*t for a couple of years now, and it would be the only reason I would order showtime.

Talk about speaking truth to idiots…..
Nice post!

Here’s a tongue in cheek satire – or maybe not. Remembering What a “Peaceful” Religion Brought Us Back in `41.

December 7, 2002: President George W. Bush Issues Statement, Hosts Japanese-American “Sunrise” Breakfast To Mark Pearl Harbor Anniversary.

Following yesterday’s message from President Bush honoring the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr, the President today hosted a “sunrise breakfast” for leading Japanese-Americans, the Japanese diplomatic community and a delegation of Shinto priests from Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which commemorates Japan’s war dead.

In his remarks delivered before the breakfast, President Bush said, “I want to thank all of you for joining me on a day that means so much both to Americans and to Japanese. Our countries are and always have been good friends. Our cultures are very much alike. We both place great value on individual freedom and opportunity. We both value frankness and straightforward dealing. We have both always been peaceful countries, at home and abroad. And we both have great respect for other cultures and peoples.

I always wonder why these people inevitably support Democratic Party members. Then I decide it’s just as well, because I don’t think I could join them in supporting a Republican after all.

This Penn & Teller video, although a bit harsh in its use of language, is DEAD ON in exposing the 9-11 conspiracy wackos. I featured this very Penn & Teller video in the DUmmie FUnnies in April along with selections from a Democrat Underground thread that showed how those DUmmies buy into the wackiest of wacko conspiracy theories. Take a look:

Absolutely amazed that some American citizens can be so deranged to believe that their own gov’t could conspire to commit this atrocity. As I have said many times, the gov’t isn’t that smart!
Bravo to Penn and Teller for coming out on the side of reason. Wonder if this will enhance or diminish their audience attendance at the Las Vegas show???

The profanity at times does seem excessive, but given the level of idiocy Penn is dealing with, it’s perfectly understandable. Given the chance, I would likely express similar sentiments to both conspiracy theorists.
