Video: 9/11 ‘nut’ proclaims the truth can not be handled

Jim Fetzer, 9/11 conspiracy theorist, was on The O’Reilly Factor this evening. Obviously, this man needs no more introduction. When this guy is asked why none of his whacky conspiracy theories make front page news, his claims the press is “dominated by the federal government”. Yeah, the New York Slimes is dominated by the Bush administration, that is why they leak all of that information that doesn’t damage national security. Well, on the upside it looks as if South Park has more fodder.

O’Reilly has quite a few good one-liners, such as: “number one, you hate your country, and number two, you’re a loon.” Not to be topped off by Fetzer’s “you can’t handle the truth” quip.

The only thing I didn’t like about the South Park thing was the crossbow. Cheney shoots a Perazzi. I think.

and this guy looks like Mr. Potato Head.

Kooo… Luk Luk luk .. Luk Luk Luk LOON!

Jelly Donut!

Man that’s one mushroom that’s been left in the dark for way too long lol!

Not to be topped off by Fetzer’s “you can’t handle the truth” quip.

That was hilarious. What a clown. Obviously there’s no time on the Factor to do point-by-point debunking like Screw Loose Change, etc. but Mr. O’R made the obvious observations that make these people look like such idiots. First of all, thousand of people would have to have been involved, and two, why won’t the hate Bush world media, any of them, pick up their conspiracy theory?

RightWinged on October 12, 2006 at 10:30 PM

And the ‘planning of controlled demolition of building 7′.. hours after millions of tons of debris fell everywhere around it, destroying many buildings. YET, Bush planned that implosion all by itself, somehow…He’s beyond delusional.

Lets hook fetzer and olberdoosh up and see what happens.

shooter on October 12, 2006 at 10:51 PM

That made my day…after being totally bummed out about the possibility of Sheethead getting the Nobel Peace Prize hearing this lunatic get soundly put in his place brought a smile to my heart.

Pull!!! BLAM!!!

Another Moonbat bites the dust,

GoingThere on October 12, 2006 at 10:55 PM

If everyone hasn’t already, watch Screw Loose Change The Not Freakin’ Again Edition. It’s long, so watch it in a couple sittings.

RightWinged on October 12, 2006 at 10:59 PM

I am not sure what is more laughable…Southpark or this guy’s ideas. But I did chuckle at Bill a few times. Loved his point about the ‘hate Bush’ media not posting anything about this cooky idea
Viva la Bush!lol

lsutiger on October 12, 2006 at 11:06 PM

I shut the kook at work up by telling him that making such assertions about the president and government could be considered slander. He, of course, responds that it’s all true and can be proven!

OK then, I ask him, how can he live in country led by such criminals? He and his like-minded friends should be presenting their “proof” to the attorney general and the justice department so that those responsible can be dealt with. Lacking that, how can he stand to continue to live under a criminal regime? Why doesn’t he leave? Go to Canada, or better yet, Saudi Arabia (and try to cast aspersions on the government there! Let me know how that works out, mmkay?)

I finally told him that talking such BS is offensive to patriotic Americans in much the same way as denying the Holocaust is the Jews, and I don’t want to hear it anymore. But damn he was giving the evil eye today while we were talking about South Park - especially one dude that kept quoting the line about who really caused 9/11 - a bunch of pissed off Muslims … what are you, a retard?

Given the scope of such an operation, the manpower it would take to pull something like that off … buying the cooperation of the passengers on the planes to pretend they died, be shipped off somewhere else, never to see their families again; buying the cooperation of the thousands of other people required to pull something of this magnitude off … and not a single person has come forward, even anonymously, to tell their story of their role in the conspiracy. Not. One. That right there calls bullshit on the whole damn things.

LissaKay on October 12, 2006 at 11:12 PM

I always wonder what ever happens to these nuts after their fifiteen minutes.

d1carter on October 12, 2006 at 11:18 PM

Wow! O’Reilly was on fiy-a (not just fire ~_^) tonight with this segment. It was great. Good points about the “vast media conspiracy” too. Fun to watch another conspiracy goofball get taken apart.

American_Pride1701 on October 12, 2006 at 11:33 PM

First time I’ve gotten to use this line:
What are you, a retard?

TBinSTL on October 12, 2006 at 11:44 PM

Is Fetzer really a former Marine officer??

.

GT on October 12, 2006 at 11:52 PM

Yep. Four years from 1962-1966. After being commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, he became an artillery officer and served in the Far East. After a tour supervising recruit training in San Diego, he resigned his commission as a Captain.

He has been a conspiracy theorist for quite awhile too. He has a website about the JFK Assassination and how the Zapruder film was “altered” as part of the JFK cover-up. It’s littered with anti-Bush and other “neocon” ravings as well. Actually, he is so obsessed about the so-called JFK cover-up, he has two websites about it. His University of Minnesota webspace includes 9/11 conspiracy references, as well as the JFK ones.
He is also obsessed with the Sen. Paul Wellstone plane crash of Oct 2002. That was a governement “assassination” as well.

He’s a loon. A very intelligent loon, but a loon nonetheless.

SilverStar830 on October 13, 2006 at 12:29 AM

yes Mr.Fetzer, where is your so called “evidence” that the Bush admin. was responsible for 9/11.

Starblazer on October 13, 2006 at 12:40 AM

Thanks SilverStar!

My father was a corporal during that time. I’m thankful he didn’t serve under Fetzer.

GT on October 13, 2006 at 12:57 AM

He and the other so called “Scholars” are a disgrace to the higher learning cause they’re smoken it college education system.

If he was in the service, I wonder about his discharge.

Probably dishonorable or mental medical.

And what’s he a prof of anyway?!? The study of Jerkology.

Kini on October 13, 2006 at 1:07 AM

Is it me, or had Fetzer been a victim of the McDonald’s conspiracy?

SouthernGent on October 13, 2006 at 1:09 AM

O’Reily put this guy on to expose the kind of lovely people who are teaching college kids to hate their country.

These kids turn into the kind of biased thugs that charged the stage at Columbia.

I wonder what a study of who supports communism among college students and professors would turn up?

Speakup on October 13, 2006 at 1:28 AM

O’Reilly redeemed himself ‘big time’. Lots of reserves in store, just for this segment. Great job!

Entelechy on October 13, 2006 at 1:37 AM

This guy lists experts that have been gathered together, to seek the truth, and tells about how all of them together can’t substantiate what the government has been telling us. I was just thinking about how many experts would be required from all those fields he lists. It’s obviously a huge number of people he’s working with.

Maybe even somewhere in the neighborhood–if my math is right–of 25% of America.

~cough~

Axe on October 13, 2006 at 1:41 AM

O’Reilly was once again on fire tonight. I’d say he made this lunatic look like a loon, but he had a lot of help.

Great point, Bill: Why not bring your crazy garbage to France or Canada (Hey! We got rid of our crazy Liberal government and replaced it with a hard headed realistic Conservative government that is aggressively taking the fight to the terrorist enemy of Afghanistan at the expense of significant casualties) or some other country that isn’t under the control of America?

This next video link I’ll provide below isn’t related to the story, it’s a Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes interview par excellence of two reformed totalatarians: a former Hitler Youth and a former Muslim terrorist.

It is very thoughtful and profound. I recommend highly that you invest a few minutes to watch it here.

Christoph on October 13, 2006 at 1:49 AM

or had Fetzer been a victim of the McDonald’s conspiracy?

Hey, man, that’s REAL!They put a Gov’t invented/synthesized mind-drug in their food that was originally meant as a ‘tool’ for the black ops community to chemically castrate commie picko fags by slipping it into their vodka martini’s in the 60’s!…when that turned out not to work, McDonald’s picked it up for it’s weekly ‘lysine contingent’ properties…that’s right, the movie Jurassic Park was a documentary, man! Only the names were changed to protect those still living! Cha!

Wedge Plissken on October 13, 2006 at 1:59 AM

Well done, Mr. O’Reilley. Next time, don’t be so polite.

theholyhermit on October 13, 2006 at 2:07 AM

Christoph, thanks for that link. I guess the larger context was about the admittance flap? explaining Alan’s line of questions. (From a cold start, it seemed odd and pointless.)

An hour or so with those two, or even an hour each, would be really interesting. I immediately started hoping I could get a book on the Hitler Youth story … Hilmer … ?. I need to go get “Why I left Jihad” as well; I was going to skip it.

Axe on October 13, 2006 at 2:30 AM

Hilmar Von Campe.

k. :)

Axe on October 13, 2006 at 2:34 AM

You’re welcome, Axe, and I meant that the guests were profound, not that Alan Colmes was profound.

Here’s another story you should definitely check out.

After reading it, notice especially comment #18.

Christoph on October 13, 2006 at 2:48 AM

O’Reilly was really on fire tonight. Wish he’d be like that more often. I kept thinking about Kyle tilting his head and saying “really”, “really”, the whole time this waste of oxygen was yapping. I loved it when Bill called him a loon!

Catie96706 on October 13, 2006 at 3:04 AM

Christoph, ok: read it, read it.

Kind of makes me want to sit quietly and smile benignly, or grab a rifle and find some high ground.

I’ll dig around a bit for better options.

Ug.

Axe on October 13, 2006 at 4:32 AM

As someone who saw the planes hit the building, lost his office when 7WTC fell, and was out of his home for months after 911, I generally get extremely agitated hearing these lunatic theories from America-hating Moonbats like this. My next response is usually anger at people like O’Reilly for giving such seriously deranged people a public forum. But in thinking about it last night, I realized how in one fell swoop, he completely obliterated any credibility that the Truther’s may have. So while it’s painful to watch, I’m glad their spokesperson is so completely unhinged.

BrunoMitchell on October 13, 2006 at 7:18 AM

Frikken hilarious!

Mortis on October 13, 2006 at 7:42 AM

That guy is dressed in red and green and, IMHO, needs a wedgie. ;)

Secret-keeping usually needs only 4 people knowing before someone blabs it.

tormod on October 13, 2006 at 8:15 AM

“Sometimes you feel like a nut…” ;)

Abigail Adams on October 13, 2006 at 8:47 AM

He is also obsessed with the Sen. Paul Wellstone plane crash of Oct 2002.

And I suppose it’s just a coincidence that Ted Kennedy happened to be in Minnesota at the time to campaign for Wellstone but at the time of the crash Kennedy was located where the plane orginated from and not where the plane was going to make a campaign stop.

And I suppose it’s just a coincidence that polling data showed that Coleman would whoop Wellstone and five minutes after the plane crashed the media gathered around Kennedy who just happened to have Wellstone’s soon-to-be replacement who could never lose an election in Minnesota, Walter Mondale ( who no one had seen for years ), standing right next to him looking sooooo somber.

Perchant on October 13, 2006 at 9:40 AM

Whenever I hear an idiot like this from academia I’m reminded of the ols axiom…

“Those who can - do. Those who can’t - teach.”

Corky on October 13, 2006 at 9:56 AM

If this guy was in the marienes, he must have been like the guy in full metal jacket. Eating the donut that he stashed in his foot locker while the rest of the platoon did pushups.

chow on October 13, 2006 at 10:30 AM

Any psychologists out there who would care to comment on the guy’s groan that followed Bill’s calling him a kook?

A free association moment…

The Machine on October 13, 2006 at 10:46 AM

If you wish to get into the ’soul’ of our endearing troll, GregH, you must read his take on the Jim Fetzer segment on O’Reilly.

Entelechy on October 13, 2006 at 11:57 AM

“Can’t get into the National Enquirer”

HAH! That’s funny.

You’d think people would get a hint when their story doesn’t make it in - at all - but the one about a redneck alien invasion makes the front page.

looking4statesmen on October 13, 2006 at 12:11 PM

Has anyone else noticed that he bears a strong resemblance to Jabba the Hut?

Pulchritudinous Patriot on October 13, 2006 at 12:55 PM

He reminds me more of the alien in Men in Black who poorly wore the skin he’d removed from the farmer he’d killed.

pistolero on October 13, 2006 at 3:26 PM

You can’t tell me that this “truther” didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he agreeded to be lambasted, I mean interviewed by Bill O.

You can’t tell me that he didn’t know he was going to be eaten live.

Bill’s right, the guy can’t get his ideas published… so he goes on shows like Bill’s to get ripped apart and get the symapthy press.

O’Rielly can be hostile… it’s not like it’s a change of pace for him.

In the mean time, read “Debunking 911 Myths” and consider yourself immunized against this kind of rancid supidity.

E L Frederick on October 13, 2006 at 4:42 PM

Is O’Reilly suggesting that Elvis wasn’t kidnapped by space aliens? Unbelievable!
Okay, I’m being a little sarcastic. : o

vcferlita on October 13, 2006 at 5:12 PM

See, this is why I love Lucianne and Hotair so much. If not for these websites, talk radio and Foxnews I think the number of retards believing this crap would be higher than Cartman’s 1/4 of the population.

Tony737 on October 13, 2006 at 6:47 PM

Is it just me, or does the guy look like Jabba the Hut?

DannoJyd on October 13, 2006 at 6:57 PM

Every time I see this guy on a television, I want to throw a shoe through it.
Even IF (I am NOT supporting that theory) the towers were brought down by controlled demolition, what “evidence” do they have to support that it was anyone in the U.S. government the ones that planted the explosives?
What?
Oh, yeah. They don’t have anything that doesn’t sound like they’ve spent too much time with their crack pipes.

ihavewebfeet on October 13, 2006 at 10:27 PM

Compare the “face time” [Algore] of the Foley emails w/ the Ron Brown murder.

Just a thought….

Black, too. Now he’s worm dirt. So are others.

But God forbid someone write naughty things!!!!

There’s a very warm spot awaiting…….

as Hillary Rotten looked on…..past her rare male lover who took a bullet…

But I digress…..

Jimmyboy1 on October 13, 2006 at 11:10 PM

Why do zipheads like Feltzer assume that the cause of the WTC collapse and Pentagon “blast” was necessarily the “government” of the U.S.?

Why not aliens?

By that logic, you render the need for planted explosives immaterial.

The interstellar B.E.M.’s could have used ultra-high-frequency magnetic rays to steer jetliners into the structures and then would have switched over to disruptor beams for selectively softening specific metals within the buildings, rendering them fatally unstable. (If aliens could alter normal steel to something like semolina linguini, the results would look exactly like the footage seen.)

Has any ‘Truther’ studied that angle?

UFO’s versus Bush. The Real secret of 9/11!

Or… maybe the KGB planted explosive ’squibs’ in the WTC and Pentagon through moles 1980’s, anf these old charges “went off” due to the airplanes hitting the buildings?

Or… maybe it’s just time for some new tinfoil hats fitted on a whole lotta chuckledomes with more time on their hands than brains between their sideburns.
