This of course so Halliburton could get control of the Iraqi oil and to prevent the real story of his father's involvement in the Kennedy assassination from coming to light. Excuse me while I don my tin foil hat, the black UN helicopters are coming for me now that I have verified these truths.

Scott, you're buying into the whole notion that planes crashed into the Towers at all. Everyone knows those were actually holograms generated by satellites, and the few plane parts that were found were planted at the same time the explosives were placed.

And, yes, some people actually believe this.
I don't remember where I read it but someone pointed out that..."You mean to tell me that an administration that is widely regarded as incapable of tying its own shoes has somehow magically gotten its act together and pulled off the greatest conspiracy and cover up of all time?". You can't have it both ways. Think of Napalitano and the current ATF scandal or Reagan and Iran-Contra. They just aren't that good at that kind of stuff.

Why am I not surprised that righties would fall for this, they swallow every other lie they are told whole.

Once in a bar I had an old guy who claimed to be ex-CIA tell me that after the 1993 bombing, the twin towers were rigged so they could be safely collapsed if necessary. He seemed to believe it, I was just enjoying an interesting story with me beer. :cheers2:

While there is probably a fringe group on the Left who would applaud those statements (were they true), I believe Liberals as a whole love America just as much as Conservatives do. They just have a different vision of how America should look.
:iagree:

Very well stated, Kythas. I wish everyone who has a tendancy to believe the worst about those they strongly dislike would take this same pragmatic approach. If they did, I wouldn't have to be looking up snopes.com EVERY TIME someone in my family forwards me an email :grumble

There is SO much legitimate, verifiable material to fuel legitimate criticism - or outright condemnation - of BHO for, we don't need to use fabrications.

Why is it that when we read something negative about someone we dislike, the more we dislike them the more we are inclined to believe it. Truth has nothing to do with it. It is as if we lost our ability to think.

The behavior you observe comes from the recesses of the reptilian part of the brain and is a relic of our evolution. We wouldn't be human without this flaw.

Note; its the behavior that Spock was lacking. He wasn't human...I rest my case. Don't let it bother you. :mrgreen:

I wasn't aware of that. I'll go over to the Wikileaks site and see if its been leaked yet.
