I personally love P & T but given their Libertarian stance on most things, you'll find a sizeable number of freepers who will be offended by them. Probably the same group of freepers who also hate South Park...

I have a photo taken with them after one of their shows many years ago.

It IS a well-done and entertaining debunking.

Well, for the time-length, it's okay, but it seems long on ad hominem and strawman, and short on actual factual rebuttal. Check out this video and see that there are many points the conspiracy folks point to (e.g., the mysterious plane flying over the Pentagon when virtually all flights were grounded*) that are not addressed in this rebuttal.

I'm kinda disappointed in P&T for this one, but I guess they had to get their quota of four-letter words in there.


*I'm guessing--without any evidence--that it was AWACS support for fighters.

Doesn't seem there something wrong with people that would listen Penn and Teller over President Bush, Building Engineers and demolition experts? I hope some left wing nuts listen to them, but isn't that strange.

What is even stranger is this coming from somebody (me) who thinks one of the best presidents we every had was a former movie actor, union president and from California.

I suggest better tinfoil.
Contact Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, Kennedy, McCain and demand that new Government Regulations be immediately installed to ensure that your tinfoil is adequate, you are not qualified nor capable of choosing your own tinfoil.

Sorry

Re-read your post

I see now what you were saying (and not promoting)

The Video link ticked me off and I responded.

My apologies

They reference JFK in the clip; any people here have anything conclusive about JFK? I have read so much about it, but nothing conclusive.

A co-worker of mine has some "mis-directed" relatives that this is perfect for.



My wife's 94-year old father has a new wife since 10 years and she probably about 60 by now!
She is a true disciple of alex jones and his conspiracy theories!!
I have some very heated and entertaining discussions with her. Yet, she is very devout "Christian"!!!

"I personally love P & T but given their Libertarian stance on most things, you'll find a sizeable number of freepers who will be offended by them. Probably the same group of freepers who also hate South Park."

I went searching for more of their videos; found one on the War on Drugs. The video starts with the web site host's embedded commercial for a pot-head store unfortunately, but you should be able to fast forward past it and the program comes right after. *warning - like the 9/11 video, it contains strong language*

I don't see much rebuttal in this video.

I'm not familiar with these guys but this video is more of a comedy sketch making fun of DUmmies than an actual documentary.

Sometimes savage mockery is needed, when dispassionate reason isn't working.

I used to enjoy P&T but the past few years they've kinda left me cold. This excerpt from a recent story sorta says it all for me.

________________________________________

Penn Jillette's wife Emily gave birth to son Zolten Penn Monday

Jillette is a nightly performer at the Rio casino-hotel. He says Zolten is a common Hungarian name.

It's also his wife's maiden name and the name of Dracula's dog.

The 51-year-old magician/comedian left in the middle of his daily radio show to be at his wife's side in a Las Vegas hospital this afternoon.

Last June, the couple named their first child, a girl, Moxie CrimeFighter.

Back when I was a DUmmie, one of the things that got me questioning DUmmie ideas was Fahrenhype 9/11. That was a very good factual documentary.
