ON Feb. 7, 2005, I became a member of the Bush/Halliburton/Zionist/CIA/New World Order/Illuminati conspiracy for world domination. That day, Popular Mechanics, the magazine I edit, hit newsstands with a story debunking 9/11 conspiracy theories. Within hours, the online community of 9/11 conspiracy buffs - which calls itself the "9/11 Truth Movement" - was aflame with wild fantasies about me, my staff and the article we had published. Conspiracy Web sites labeled Popular Mechanics a "CIA front organization" and compared us to Nazis and war criminals.
For a 104-year-old magazine about science, technology, home improvement and car maintenance, this was pretty extreme stuff. What had we done to provoke such outrage?
Research.

I do this little exercise with my Lefty family memebers.
I get in a conversation about 9/11, draw them in with a couple small criticisms of Bush. Then I drop the hammer. I sincerely suggest that Bush was possibly "in on" the 9/11 attacks. To a person, they agree that it's very possible that he was. And, these are not what we'd consider "hard" Lefties, they're your run-of-the-mill Democrats...or so I thought.
Exactly!
Unless of course they are a conspiracy moonbat!
Is that for real? I am doing an article comparing WWII to now, and this would be great info.
This stuff only survives because these <IYFWH>[1] are comfortably insulated from reality. For a few brief moments in 2001, reality burst upon them with scant welcome, but now they've got it stuffed safely back in the box.
And they are ignoring it.
[1] Words fail me. That's rare enough.
It would have been a better experiment of some of them had gotten in the cage then lit it.
Now THAT is a quotable quote!
THAT'S what makes my blood boil. It seems like even those Democrats that don't beleive in the conspriacy theories still lead credibility to it by saying that since there are questions, it should be investigated.
I saw the chicken wire experiment thread on DU. Perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen online in years.
"WELCOME BROTHER!!! You do remember the secret handshake, right?? :-)"
I would have joined too,...but that "wiggling middle finger" in the palm hand shake just creeps me out!
