And now the loonie-tune idea that President Bush
wacked Tillman.

Olbermann video (this is the finger I flourish when I air unhinged conspiracy theories). Andrew Sullivan — Ron Paul supporter, natch — has had a colorful and far-ranging history of “just airing” crank conspiracy theories in the past. So far,……

EVERY time somebody uses the “why aren’t you covering this?” argument, it’s intellectually dishonest – because there could be countless reasons. I haven’t heard a great deal in the MSM, either.

I know, there are plenty of things I would complain about not being covered (especially the economy), but there are only so many things AP and Bryan can blog in a day… not to mention, if they threw too much up there, stuff would get bumped so quick, folks would get irritated and I don’t think there’d be as dedicated a following.

There is a reason for this.

Considering that member sign up has been closed for a while, this character has been sitting on the docket waiting for an opportunity to give the HA comment thread community a run for energy and time.

Which just happened.

Notice that he is not around today.

But if this character has been “taken over” by KO “himself” than he will be back tonight after his show is over.

I mean who else but Metro sexual Keith himself would sign in with an obvious pun of The Factor.

Of course he would’ve had his staff or family member sign up for “security” reasons.

So here is my suggestion on how to “flush him out”.

When he comes in again, let’s all start accusing him of being KO himself,

and accuse him of working for the:

Don’t know for sure, but I think that Nonfactor was probably being honest. I suspect that he said nothing that he did not believe.

Hypothetical motives of Tillman’s HYPOTHETICAL murder!

Hell, some of us here, on a slow night, would argue with a fence post!

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back of…

Just curious what that’s based on.

Why is NonFactor not banned?

Opposing viewpoints are, of course, welcome here. That’s part of why I like HotAir. And it’s part of what makes us so different from the left. There are no left wing sites that would permit a conservative version of NonFactor. Anyone who has tried posted on Daily Kos or DU knows that.

But NonFactor is a troll. He doesn’t discuss, he doesn’t debate issues, he simply peddles dishonesty.

I don’t think dishonesty should be welcome. Please to explain.

Anyone else notice Nonfactor’s typical behavior here? Diverting and ignoring things he has no answer to? I wrote him a lengthy reply and he responded to none of it.

Indeed. He entirely dodged my own post last night, ignoring the fact that my explicit statement – that I view Tillman as a hero NO MATTER WHAT HIS POLITICS WERE – completely repudiates his thesis.

He claims this site “ignores him” and suggests we ALL (as if we all control this site) have a motive for that: namely, that we once loved him and now repudiate him because of some “liberal” rumors (which I don’t even know for a fact are true anyway.)

I have no idea if or why HotAir have limited their coverage of Tillman. EVERY time somebody uses the “why aren’t you covering this?” argument, it’s intellectually dishonest – because there could be countless reasons. I haven’t heard a great deal in the MSM, either. Frankly, I wasn’t even AWARE of most of Non-Factor’s claims … which leads me to guess that MOST of those discussions are being held on the far left blogs he frequents.

So his thesis boils down to: hey, we’re discussing this on our moonbat blogs, so why are you ignoring it?

The fact that that even makes sense to him is bizarre and troubling.

And then – wait for the irony – he accuses US of painting liberals with a “broad brush.” Get it? He simultaneously accused ALL OF US of having an identical view of Tillman (a view that, as far as I can see, either none of us have, or at most, a very few of us have) and then ignored those of us explicitly having the opposite view, and then told us not to “broad brush” this ideological comrades.

You’ve got to be kidding. Hypocrisy doesn’t get richer than that.

Hey, Non-Factor, let me make you look even more foolish: I’ve already decided to give my first son the middle name Tillman. That isn’t changing. I don’t care if he was in the Chomsky Book-of-the-Month Club.

At the very least, you owe ME – and everyone who feels like me – a sincere apology. You erected an enormous straw man, told us all how we think and feel about Tillman – and then ran away when it became clear that you are simply wrong.

Your ONLY evidence for any of this is that Hot Air hasn’t run enough stories on the subject.

Pathetic.

Dishonest.

Fundamentally liberal. Fundamentally Non-Factor.

This is NOT a political issue. Only you – only the left – are trying to make it one. I – and every conservative know – has enormous respect for Tillman’s sacrifice. I – and every conservative I know – fully and completely want the full truth on the matter to come to light.

Everything you’ve claimed in this thread is a lie.

Although I have no proof or evidence, I think it’s possible that the moon landing was staged.

Now, rather than giving any evidence, information, or proof; much less waiting for the same; I’m going to speculate on the motive of why someone would fake the moon landing.

I believe the Government may have staged the moon landing to cow the Chinese (not the Russians as often suspected) because the Chinese potential for space exploration at the time was relatively unknown; but their manpower and potential resource base could have given them a leg up, especially as they would (at least hypothetically at the time) had little concern over possible accidents (or been willing to cover them up).

See, this gets silly rapidly. There’s no real proof that the moon landing was faked (although some do believe this) so discussing motives for a fake moon landing seems dumb.

Until and unless the “fake moon landing” theory gets a lot more evidence; working to discuss motives for the fake moon landing is “la la land” as has been said before.

But that’s ok, there is a group of people willing to discuss motives. These are the crackpots who are convinced that there was no real moon landing. Everyone else would like proof of the staging of the moon landing before they would consider a discussion of the motives to have any value. Even knowing that I’ve made incorrect assumptions about the China that existed at that time, 90% or more of people will ignore it, as clarifying it has no value.

And apparently there is a group of people who are willing to discuss the motives of Tillman’s murder without any knowledge that it was a murder. This group includes Olby and some commenters here… sad really.

In Noam Chomsky’s universe every American intervetion everywhere is a crime. Without exception, they’re all brutal, genocidal plots motivated by corporate greed and an imperial desire to subjugate third world countries.

Afghanistan was no exception. Noam Chomsky claimed that the United States was engaging in a “silent genocide” as well as other “horrendous crimes” there in 2001. Noam Chomsky has hemmed and hawed on the genocide claim since, but he has never fully retracted it.

If Pat Tillman bought into this garbage than that does not reflect well on him. As a matter of fact, as an American soldier voluntarily serving in the theater, he would become an accomplice to genocide.

For this “Theory” of theirs to have work we have to assume that all of Tillmab’s comrades, Men who rrisked their lives daily side by side with Tillman, All conspired to commit murder simply because Pat Tillman was going to speak to nutcase Choamski.

In their wild Bush derangement scenarios they will slander and smear dozens of US army rangers by stating the are complict in a plot to murder a fellow soldier just because he was going to speak out against the war.

So this is the core of the coverup. Military men who risked their lives daily are to be caught up in assassination fantacies of the likes of Olbercrappy.

So please be honest that you are so willing to smear anyone and anything to get your socailist programs Liberals. I wonder how it feels to prostitute yourself out for welfare handouts and universal healthcare at the price of selling out your fellow citizens and your country.
