- Al Queda running free lets the GOP talk tough, act brave, and thump their chests. It lets them pretend to be Rambo, Top Gun and the kids from Red Dawn every day.
- People fear terrorists, and if people are afraid they'll turn to strong leaders who wear cod pieces.
- A weak Afghanistan can't fight poppy production, which increases heroin supply in the USA. This helps bring down prices in the free market, thereby saving Rush Limbaugh thousands every week.
- A real terrorist threat allows them to attack oil producing Islamic nations throughout the world.

OK, I think it is pretty clear at this point that the Republicans nationally, George W Bush and Dick Cheney clearly want Al Queda and Osama Bin Laden to run free, live long happy lives, and to continue to spread terror around the world. If they didn't the GOP would have made going after the terrorists a real priority. So the question becomes, why do Republicans love the terrorists, and hate America so much? I'll start off with some thoughts...

Without the SURPRISE ATTACK on 9-11! None of the endless Bullls***t these fascist creeps have pulled would have been possible. DID ANYONE SEE BILL MAHER friday? The hecklers in the crowd? At first I thought they were neo-con Plants. Put there by the Bus***es (I could not hear what they were saying). Turns out they were heckling Bill Maher because he said he didn't think Bush Planted the bombs in the towers! I almost cancelled the show right when that came out of his mouth! didn't cause the show regardless of that opinion still has a lot of merit. BUT!!!! I want to know .... didheknow ..... DID THEY KNOW BEFORE HAND? I don't want to know if they did it . . . . or even say that they did . . . . did they let it happen? because it sure has helped them out DID THEY KNOW AND THEN JUST SIT BACK? |

| Prom, There is a difference between a theory and a faith. Many in the 9-11 Truth Movement have moved far beyond questioning the "official" story of 9-11, to the position of publicly condemning you as a neocon if you don't fully embrace the "inside job" point of view. Their theory has become their religion, and they are no more tolerant than Islamic fundamentalists, white supremacists, or Ann Coulter. So Bill Maher thinks the lunatic fringe in this movement is nuts to doubt that airplanes even hit the Twin Towers. Well, I do too. That doesn't make me a Bushie, and I will vehemently fight back against one of these close-minded a******s that dare to equate my skepticism with treason. Funny thing is, when I confront "truthers" parroting one-liners like "the laws of physics prove the official story is a lie" with an argument based on physics, they walk away and call me a fool. Sorry, but if you cannot debate the physics involved in your "scientific" claim, then you have no right to be so certain about your ignorance. That's just a little bit too reminiscent of our President. Bill Maher had every right to voice his opinion on his show, and he had every right to boot out the hecklers in his audience that disrupted ten minutes of air-time with unintelligible gibberish. First amendment rights pertain to the public forum; not a cable TV show. The audience's job is to laugh, clap, or shut the f*** up. Now that said, I think I agree with you about 9-11. I would not be in the least surprised if members of the Bush Administration knew what was coming, or even facilitated it. I'd venture to say that Bill Maher might have the same suspicions. But that is a far cry from planting explosives yourself, or the fabrication of Al Queda. Apparently that degree of doubt isn't enough for the 9-11 Truth Movement. If you don't accept their faith as gospel, you deserve to be attacked. What's network time worth nowadays? $500,000 for 30 seconds of primetime? I'm not sure how that would translate to HBO, but I would like to see Bill Maher/HBO sue the four parties involved in disrupting his show to the tune of $5 million for the temerity of bringing their public civil disobedience onto a private stage. Otherwise these 9-11 trolls will start popping up on Oprah and Top Chef. |

M.I.C. It was the best Bill Maher show ever! I was watching with my 10 year old, and after the incident, we both just looked at each other. Like azmods icon suggest . . . I think we have only seen the tip of the nasty neo-con iceberg? even after all that has been exposed . . . the tip of the iceberg. There could still be criminal s*** gone done 100 x's worse than the endless list of what we already know. Soon to break on the evening news (or Olberman). So I think it is still to early to take 9-11 complicity off the table just yet. And yet (still) I don't think I have ever not agreed with anything you have ever written

| Prom, I apologize if it sounds like I'm going off on you. I'm not mad at you, but at the perniciousness of the 9-11 Truth Movement, with their zeal to accuse anyone who does not see things their way as "closed-minded" and "naive." It's great to ask questions and demand answers, but to pretend you already have all the answers is quite another thing. For Webster Tarpley to claim that "unless the lie of 9-11 is acknowledged, nothing else matters" is not only ridiculous but dangerous. I think things like an imminent attack upon Iran are crucially important to address now -- not after we get to the bottom of 9-11. Imagine if all the energy and organization of the 9-11 Truth Movement were directed instead into the anti-war movement rather than heckling comedians. At the end of the day, any good the 9-11 Truth Movement accomplished by raising public awareness that many questions about 9-11 persist (and demanding a complete investigation) are overshadowed by the damage their behavior inflicts upon liberalism in general. Aside from turning us upon each other, it enables Limbaugh and O'Reilly to call us fruitcakes. Anyway, I want to know the level of complicity Bush-Cheney had in 9-11, of course. Whether they pulled off an inside job (logistically unlikely but within character), they actively expedited the terrorism plan of others, or they passively allowed it to happen, the charge is the same: treason. Probably the most likely scenario, and the reason for all the unanswered questions about 9-11, is that they were dangerously incompetent and blinded by ideology in the months prior to 9-11, and providing a full account of the event would expose the complete failure of the Administration. Such gross negligence would by itself serve as the grounds for impeachment. But there is so much more I want to know about THEM. Did they wiretap all their political opponents and the media, and blackmail them? Are they not just data-mining, but actually listening to us? Did the order to torture prisoners issue from their office? Did they out a CIA agent? Who mailed out the anthrax? Did Cheney get drunk and shoot a friend in the face? As you say . . . just the tip of the iceberg. |

| That is alright M.I.C. I am not a part of any group! I am a rouge liberal! But, I just have this feeling about this administration . . . and it ain't good. O'Reilly and Limbaugh are going to keep calling us whatever they want (been doing it all along). the opinions of these Psychopaths matters not (and Ann Coulter is a major whack- O). ALL THOSE DEAD AMERICANS . . . it is a very touchy issue . . . needs resolving

| Update on Al Queda !!! According to Fox News, Al Queda may be responsible for the San Diego brush fires. Therefore we are now "fighting them here", which means the entire rationale for the Iraqi occupation is a failure!!! |

| Yet wealthy Saudis remain the chief financiers of worldwide terror networks. “If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia,” said Stuart Levey, the US Treasury official in charge of tracking terror financing. Extremist clerics provide a stream of recruits to some of the world’s nastiest trouble spots. An analysis by NBC News suggested that the Saudis make up 55% of foreign fighters in Iraq. They are also among the most uncompromising and militant. Half the foreign fighters held by the US at Camp Cropper near Baghdad are Saudis. They are kept in yellow jumpsuits in a separate, windowless compound after they attempted to impose sharia on the other detainees and preached an extreme form of Wahhabist Islam. In recent months, Saudi religious scholars have caused consternation in Iraq and Iran by issuing fatwas calling for the destruction of the great Shi’ite shrines in Najaf and Karbala in Iraq, some of which have already been bombed. And while prominent members of the ruling al-Saud dynasty regularly express their abhorrence of terrorism, leading figures within the kingdom who advocate extremism are tolerated. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2801017.ece
Don't forget about Bu$h's Saudi Oil buddies and the country where 15 of the highjackers came from, Oh, and there is that Osama guy, from Saudi Arabia too..... |
