Ron Paul's Truther brigade

A comment on my "dictionary of liberalism" post said that Ron Paul wasn't a Truther. That's hard to fathom, considering he has been rapidly garnering the support of the most rabid, die-hard Truther groups. The Jawa Report has a video of a bunch of 9/11 Truthers acting like your garden variety, stoner-type 9/11 Truthers. The video is annoying, as are the people who make it. But, eh, what do you expect from people who are trying desperately to hang on to their last remaining brain cell?

Watch, if you can.

Dictionary of Liberalism

Following are the true definitions of many words and phrases. Will be updated occasionally.

Carbon offsets (CAR-bun OFF-sets) n. A way for rich liberals to assuage their guilt about the contributions their SUV's make to "global warming". (See also Ordering a Diet Coke with your Double Whopper and large fries.)

Dhimmi (ZHIM-ee) n. A person who kowtows to Islamists, and encourages others to do the same. They are ususally used by Islamic extremists for political gains against the people they wish to kill. (See also Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter.)

Dinosaur (DI-nuh-sor) n. A big, huge animal that used to rule its environment, but was too slow, stubborn and sluggish to change and adapt, thus ushering in its extinction. (See also New York Times, SeeBS News, Time Magazine.)

Global Warming (glo-BULL WARM-ing) n. The invention of a bunch of "scientists" who want to make you feel guilty for everything you do. One of the latest ploys by the liberal left to bring about the end of western civilization. (See also AlGore, ManBearPig, junk science.)

Liberal (LIB-er-al) n. A person who supports "freedom of speech" as long as they agree with what you're saying. If not, then it's "offensive" and should be outlawed, even though they think that "offensive" speech is protected by the Constitution. (See also Political Correctness.)

New Mexico (NOO MEX-i-co) n. A country bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, Canada, and the Rio Grande River. It was formerly known as the United States of America.

Truther (TROO-ther) n. Someone who clings desperately to a fading hope that President Bush might have known somebody who knew someone else who went to school with someone who once hired one of the 9/11 terrorists to work at his Tastee-Freeze. So, yes, it was Bush's fault. (See also Rosie O'Donnell, Charlie Sheen, Ron Paul.)

Shhh! Don't tell Rosie!!

Psst!! Hey, guess what? Professors at Purdue University (a school that knows a thing or two about engineering) have carefully developed an animation of just what exactly happened when the first jet ripped through the North Tower on 9/11. (h/t: Hot Air)

If you click on the above link to Purdue U., when you get there click the link at the upper-left. And give it a minute for the animation to load (it's 9 MB)

FYI, these are not a bunch of Rove-Bushco-Halliburton knee-jerk neocon Nazis. These are professional engineering instructors at a highly-regarded engineering school (although they can't put a decent football team together. Sorry, had to say it. Go Blue!!) that assessed and examined every aspect of the incident.

Uh, Rosie, before you go spouting off again, you might want to look at what people who actually KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT have to say (And that goes double for your buddy Joy Behar). Unless, of course, you just want to stay ignorant. But, if you really want to know the truth--THE TRUTH--then maybe you ought to listen to the PROFESSIONALS who said:

The simulation depicts how a plane tore through several stories of the World Trade Center north tower within a half-second and found that the weight of the fuel acted like a flash flood of flaming liquid, knocking out essential structural columns within the building and removing fireproofing insulation from other support structures.

[...]

"The crashes and computer models you often see on television are not scientifically accurate," he says. "This provides an alternative that is useful to the nonexpert but is also scientifically accurate, so it provides a more realistic picture of the event."

[...]

As with an earlier simulation developed by this team that examined the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, the World Trade Center simulation showed that it was the weight of the 10,000 gallons of fuel more than anything else that caused the damage.

"It is the weight, the kinetic energy of the fuel that causes much of the damage in these events," Hoffmann says. "If it weren't for the subsequent fire, the structural damage might be almost the same if the planes had been filled with water instead of fuel."

But, but, but...Rosie said that fire can't melt steel!!! She said it, it has to be true!! She knows more about engineering and metallurgy than any stupid university professor!!! She is Rosie O'Donnell, you know!!

"Truthers" admit to making "dubious claims"

Over at The Jawa Report, Good Lt. has posted two videos of a debate between Truthers (see definition at right) and Mark Roberts. The videos are about 25 minutes long, so make sure you have time to view them in full. It really takes you inside the mind of a truther (Be careful, however. If you've ever seen "Event Horizon", you remember what happened to the kid that stepped through the black goo.)

One of the Truthers in the video is Dylan Avery, one of the creators of the goofy "Loose Change" movie. Now, get this: about 7:20 into the first video, he says that this movie is not accurate, there are many mistakes, and many "dubious claims". Yet these people are screaming for "9/11 truth!!!!" Yeah. They might want to actually look up the word "truth" in a dictionary sometime. Because apparently, they wouldn't know it if it came up and slapped them in the face.

FREEDOM EDEN: Ron Paul as Rosie O'Donnell

From FREEDOM EDEN comes this post about what completely silly 9/11 truther-slash-Blame America guy that Ron Paul (R-Trutherland) really is:

“Who did that?” Paul snapped. “Who blamed America?”

“Well, your critics felt that you did.”

“No, I blamed bad policy over 50 years that leads to anti-Americanism,” Paul said. “That’s little bit different from saying ‘blame America.’ Don’t put those words in my mouth.”

“But the policies were bad American policies?”

“We’ve had an interventionist foreign policy for 50 years that has come back to haunt us,” Paul continued. “So that’s not ‘Blame America’ — that’s demagoguing, distorting issues…That’s deceitful to say those kinds of things.”

That's right, folks. This is a guy that wants to run this country. And don't think there aren't people who think he should.

My goodness people, whatever happened to logic and common sense in this country? First the guys says, "Our policies are to blame!!", then he says, "I'm not blaming America!!! When did I say that??!!!" Of course, ya gotta love the smackdown Giuliani laid on him (Yeah, yeah, I'm giving props to Giuliani. Don't get used to it):

"I don't think I've heard that before [that we invited 9/11 because we were bombing Iraq] and I've heard some pretty bizarre explanations for September 11th."

Folk, you haven't heard "bizarre" until you've heard Ron Paul and his buddies Rosie O'Donnell and Charlie Sheen.

Of all the things Rosie misses...

Nah, I really don't think she misses her mind. Or her sanity. Or any ability she might have ever had to put together a coherent thought. Case in point (via Hot Air):

On ABC’s “The View” this morning, host Rosie O’Donnell once again brought up her kooky 9/11 conspiracy theory about WTC #7, this time involving then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. According to Big Ro, Giuliani ordered steel from WTC #7 be moved to China before any testing could be done. Pregnant co-host and conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn’t help but laugh.

Later in the segment co-host Joy Behar tries to dismiss Giuliani’s heroic role in the aftermath of 9/11, saying he didn’t remove Command Control from the World Trade Center. And guess which building that was in? WTC #7! The building, according to Rosie, that “mysteriously collapsed.” This gave Ro yet another chance to explain Trutherism to the audience.

When is she going to just give it up and come back and join the rest of us in our cozy little community we like to call "reality"? Is she, and the rest of the conspiracy theory-driven, "Bushco-Halliburton-Neocon"-hating left that unhinged that they can't do anything other than come up with these half-baked conspiracies?

Ron Paul for President...of Trutherland

He's not a serious candidate. He thinks he is, the truthers who support him think he is, but...nah, not so much. He's kooky, cranky, and sits on the same side of the 9/11 aisle as RosieO, that goofy guy on Hannity and Colmes, Sean Penn, etc.

Check out this from Ace of Spades (if you're offended by language, skip the comments section). He pretty much nails the guy.
