The more you deny “the truth,” the more it proves you were in on it.
I don’t know if Glenn’s still a member of the bar or not, but he should get pro bono credit for this one. Highlights: the authors describing how Truthers have dowdified quotes from two eyewitnesses about 40% of the way in, and later, at around the 60% mark, explaining how the Internet has enabled the conspiracists by preserving news accounts from that day as they were written — before the bad facts contained in some of them had been corrected.
There’s a short review of the book at Screw Loose Change; the biggest criticism is that it should have been longer. Apropos of my recent posts about British Muslims, SLC also notes that 9/11 denial ain’t just for Truthers anymore (if ever it was).
But here’s the real nail in the coffin. How nuts do you have to be to be too nuts for Chomsky?
Dylan’s black little heart must be breaking.

I once read an interview with Choms where he complained that conspiracy theories (such as JFK) were what he got the most mail about and which he considered to be a symptom of a Left too demoralized or fractious to focus on something real, so they distract themselves with fantasies like conspiracies, post-modernism, deconstructionism, etc.

Good podcast. A Must Listen!

I love Popular Mechanics. Considering the leftards are so scientifically elitist these days with their man-made global warming brigade, it’s ironic that they often deny the pure science behind the 9/11 attacks and why the towers fell.
They are apologists for the enemy, and to quote my favorite liberal, Winston Churchill (back when libs still had a modicum of common sense, especially with regard to their own mortality)-
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

That’s about the best way I can rationalize the liberals’ dangerous position in this war.

It’s a good podcast, but is that the sound of a blender I hear in the background?

Nah, Dylan just gets a Do-Over when he’s wrong.
Unlike the news reports that get corrected when better information comes along.
Soon there will be so many versions of his “Truth” film that no one will know which is which.
