Scholars in the Crosshairs

I've listened to most of the Colmes/Fetzer show now, and I'm angry. Fetzer is a complete jerk. Loose Change is quiet right now, so I'm going to spend some time taking a closer look at the Scholars for 9-11 Truth. Anybody who can help out in any way would find their efforts greatly appreciated. Especially helpful would be transcriptions of Fetzer's appearances on radio shows; the nuttier the better. I am working on his appearance on Colmes yesterday; that's turning out to be a gold mine of disinformation.

Part of the reason the "Scholars" have been getting a reasonably free ride in the press is because of the innate credentialism of journalists. I'll admit, I thought they were mostly concentrating on the CD claims about 9-11, but Fetzer's a full-bore nut who even believes that Barbara Olson is alive.

What I find intersting Joan is the belief that you apparently hold that not ONE of the thousands upon thousands of people involved in a conspiracy of this magnitude would come forward.

Hell, we got whistleblowers with the Valerie Plame deal and that's small potatoes next to 9/11. Imagine the book deals and Lifetime movies to be thrust upon the person blowing the 9/11 cover-up wide open.

Yet they all remain mysteriously silent....

Its sort of like the theory here that there would have to be so many people involved in a government conspiracy and someone would have to talk.

No, believing in the conspiracy theories is like a religion. There's no evidence for them, you have to take them on blind faith. EVERY time you morons get it backwards.

Man, Orwell would hate to be alive and see you nuts.

Apathoid, James has linked that piece before. I'm a little uncomfortable with knocking work based on religion; I have several friends who are Mormons.

I have to give BG some credit, he is polite, if somewhat unresponsive to argument. At least he is honest enough to recognize Fetzer's behavior for what it is.

If you read the comments on 9/11 blogger, they are actually quite hostile. Fetzer even responded in his defense.

"Jim Fetzer, has PROVEN himself incapable of intelligent discussion. I hope he doesnt do anymore mainstream media interviews to represent 9/11 truth, and they get somebody more competent."

"We are experts." What a tool.

Does he not hear himself? We got lucky that they only let him on for a second on TV.

Fetzer=the real "controlled demolition"


Crap- now we're back from commercial and talking about the bloody Pentagon!

I pray that 9/11 truthers are smart enough to abort this bozo.

Damn. Fetzer is too hysterical. He's rabid right now. too "authorititive" and "bossy" to the callers.

this is a blown opportunity.


Funny, I never have to worry about what subject Pat, or any other conspiracy skeptics will come up with.

The day the "truthers" do something smart is the day I eat my hat.
