Charlie Sheen's 9/11 Rant is Pure Ego
The Telegraph ^ | 9/11/09 | Michael Deacon

Posted on 09/11/2009 11:47:58 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen says the official story of September 11 is “a fiction, and not a very good one”. An area of which Sheen has no little experience, having starred in such films as Scary Movie 3 and Major League II.

Sheen, in a move that I’d hate to think will prompt cynics to suggest he’s got a screw loose, has also written a script of an imaginary conversation between himself and Barack Obama.

Disappointingly Sheen is yet to confirm that Osama Bin Laden recorded his anti-West videos on the same film set the Americans used to fake the Moon landings. Perhaps Sheen can also supply us with proof that Bush faked 7/7. Should Sheen fail to do so, however, I fear I shall be unable to shake off a prejudice I have against 9/11 conspiracy theorists: that they’re all raving egomaniacs. Faith in conspiracy theories generally, it seems to me, is a powerful indicator of low self-esteem. Conspiracy theorists desperately want to believe the worst because it makes them feel that they know best, that they have special information to which the rest of us, the gullible unthinking herd, are not privy.

I suspect that the reason 9/11 is particularly attractive to conspiracy theorists is that it happened while President Bush was in power. Most conspiracy theorists that I’ve come across despise Bush, although their ideas about him are somewhat confused:on the one hand they think he’s thick, but on the other they think he’s clever enough to oversee a plot as complicated as the faking of the biggest terrorist attack in American history. At any rate, believing in outlandish conspiracies is exciting. It makes you feel smart and superior and important. It gives a thrilling boost to the ego.

A bit like being a Hollywood star.

If Charlie met with GWB and Cheney, it would be “Two and a Half Men”. If he met with Barry and Slow-Joe, it would be “Three Stooges”.

Sadly, now that there actually ARE conspiracies a-foot with the current administration...stealing our money and redistributing wealth, stealing our freedoms, weakening our military, cramming socialism down our throats, etc. no one will believe us, thanks to clowns like Sheen.

In his defense, he DID star in "Navy Seals".

That makes him more qualified for high office than our current president.

I don’t think he was even necessarily good at that.

I've always opined that you can always tell when a celebrity's star is on the wane when they start sharing their ridiculous, high-school logic political opinions with us.

Oh well, that kid that co-stars with him on Two and a Half Men is outgrowing the cute stage, maybe Charlie's about to be demoted from sitcom hunk has-been to doing commercials for Hanes full time...

Charlie forgot about the first attack with a bomb at the base of the towers - it simply taught them to get a bigger bomb.

Agree — and Charlie was a major client of Heidi Fleiss, the fallen ‘madam’ of Hollywood some years ago. I seem to recall all sorts of data about him and his tastes, and it wasn’t pretty. The guy has ZERO credibility.

Sounds burnt out. Way too many drugs. Just call him Coma, because that’s the state his brain is in. Sad.

YES, I was going to make a similar comment — the TV show is not so funny now that cutie pie ‘son’ is a big hulking high schooler. The kid MADE the show though a couple of others were good too, like the mother figure.

I sure hope he keeps this up, and drags Obama into his little fantasy tent along with the other kooks. Makes them all look like refugees from the nuthouse.

Charlie has done a lot of EVERYTHING. Frankly, I’m surprised he’s still walking and talking.

Have you actually read the script he wrote? And, if so what points would you dispute? Link to his script, which includes hyperlinks to supporting documents.

Charlie Sheen’s 9/11 rant isn’t ego. It’s cocaine. Dead brain cells are hard to utilize.

I don't know, I am waiting for the real intellectual brain trust in Hollywood to weigh in on the matter. Maybe Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake or Miley Cyrus have a opinion on this.....Charlie....Whoa dude! You know, like if you stare at your hand long enough sometimes it's like some big mysterious thing.

Most of the people who spread these crazy conspiracy theories don’t actually believe them themselves. They just use them to understand various administrations they don’t like (unlike the present). It’s KGB-style commie propaganda.

This is the real reason the 9-11 memorial is playing those martyrdom videos. How else do we dispel this idiocy that they didn’t do it? They admitted it!

It’s easy to shut down 9/11 conspiracy types:

Simply ask them about Pres. Clinton’s role in it. The 9/11 attack was planned and the attackers came to America and started training on his watch. Also during his watch were 9 other attacks on US buildings, ships, military and other American-populated protectorates abroad.

How could Clinton NOT have any involvement when he had multiple chances to capture the one involved and did nothing?

The attacks stopped after 9/11 by the actions of Pres. Bush.

They usually have nothing to say afterwards (I actually tried this at a “Truther” stand at Santa Monica, CA on the 3rd Street mall.

Good points, but I wouldn’t have mined if you added my typo correction to the quote.
