CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . Im tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we dont have that in place. IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER NOW WITH THE DEMOCRATS NOW IN CHARGE OF OVERSIGHT. But you know, for top level policy theres not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isnt going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.

My father was a fighter pilot and it was obvious to him right away why the Air Force didn’t intercept the jets. Prior to 9/11, it was STOP for jets to scramble east, over the Atlantic Ocean. Cold War training had them operating under the assumption that any threat would be coming from across the Atlantic. The planes headed to the Atlantic and had to be called back. Also, you have to remember NORAD didn’t know immediately what was going on. Since this was unprecedented, it wasn’t until the second jet hit the towers that they were sure this was an attack. If I recall correctly, I don’t think the jets would have been properly armed at the time either. Yes, many logical explanations. The better question is, what are you suggesting is the alternative? That the goverment LIHOP? It is so funny how, in one breath you take offense that Paul is being lumped in with Truthers and then aPaulogists like you and Maeve imply these very things!
Can you imagine how crude these people are, bragging how much they’d love to slap a baby doctor over the age of seventy on national television?
____________________________________________________________
I can’t imagine a baby doctor that never performed an abortion nor accepted medicaid as payment. Such a physican can not possliby exist. Yet he does. His name is Dr. Ron Paul.
Only a perverted liberal would desire to slap him off a stage.
Incidentally, Georgie Porgie, I’m still waiting for you to explain what you meant in post 185. I find it interesting that you are so indignant that anyone would link Ron Paul with 9/11 conspiracy kooks. Yet you, his number one aPaulogist, are apparently validating what Maeve said.
Y’all are cracking me up on here ;-) Well done!
From truth, to truther, to truthest, to truthness, to truthiness, and on to (so far) Michelle's Trutheriness.
This sort of language-bending out-hilariouses political correctness by three megaguffaws!
Where are Ed Neuman, Bill Buckley, Gordon Liddy, and the rest of the language guardians to show we can handle the trutheriness! (Apologies to Jack Nichols.)
I just wanted to NOW show that quote NOW one more time. LOL
From truth, to truther, to truthest, to truthness, to truthiness, and on to (so far) Michelle's Trutheriness.It does say something when she's trying to be taken seriously and end up inventing phrases even sillier than Colbert's fevered material.
Bulletin:
The offensive post you seemed so enamored with has been removed.
And if you think it was going to be allowed to show up and STAY on every thread on FR, you have no understanding of the rules.
If being a Truther consists of believing the government caused 9/11 directly or that it conspired to cover up the most vital facts about 9/11 from the public, then by any measure Michelle Malkin is a published Truther writer. While not accusing the government of directly causing 9/11, she uses the standard Trutherisms about government coverup and suppression.
Let's examine what she wrote in just one single article on 3/8/2002: Jewish World Review, Michelle Malkin - Just Wondering"What really happened on United Airlines Flight 93? As the Philadelphia Daily News reported back in November, many folks in Shanksville, Pa., where the hijacked Boeing 757 crashed, believe the plane was shot down. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a small, unmarked jet flying overhead immediately after impact; others are convinced they heard the piercing sound of a missile. A federal flight controller told The Telegraph of Nashua, N.H., that an F-16 had indeed been in "hot pursuit" of Flight 93 until it hit the ground. One of the 911calls from a passenger on the flight indicated that there was an explosion aboard the plane. The FBI immediately confiscated the tape."Now we compare to the primary Truther site, flight93crash.com: The Real Story of Flight 93. And we can see clearly that all of Malkin's Flight 93 conspiracy/coverup theory agrees with the Truthers.
Back to JWR where Michelle asks:What really happened on American Airlines Flight 11? Did one of the hijackers have a gun on board? Was it planted before the flight took off, or was it smuggled on? ... FAA officials dismissed the leaked memo as a draft and claimed that the very specific report of gunfire - including the names of the victim, shooter, and their precise seat numbers -- was an editing error. Just a typo, huh?Now to a Truther site, whatreallyhappened.com: American Airlines Flight 11, Reexamined where we find again the same material about Flight 93 from above as well as the same material on the "suppressed" memo and the transcript of the reports of shootings on board Flight 11 which Malkin seems to have copied from these Truthers.
Back to JWR for Michelle's next Truther tidbit:Who murdered Katherine Smith, and why? Smith was the Tennessee state license examiner who had been implicated last month in a phony ID scam involving a group of shady Middle Eastern men from New York City. Investigators say there are "connections" between the ring and the Sept. 11 terrorists; one of them had a repair pass in his possession that gave him access to the lower levels of the World Trade Center basement. It was dated Sept. 5.And we then compare this to one of the biggest Truther sites out there: 911review.org: Katherine Smith 9/11 Encyclopedia where we find the same exact material.
Thanks for posting.
I would love to throw this back into her face and all her nitwit fans too. I wonder why she quit asking those questions she wrote some time ago? I can only speculate the answer but I can probably guess she has made some extra money and gotten on a few shows by not wanting to know these answers are raise them up with her fans.
Reading through these comments and now I see a pattern on the Paul threads.
Issue presented.
Lame attempts at trying to debunk the issue by people who don’t even bother to read the issue, or the link (this quote is not from Malkin, but my all means keep embarrassing yourself by saying it has been debunked already)
Issue represented while correcting the lame attempts.
Deflection — [whine] why are you attacking this true conserervative [/whine], and lots of big government republicans comments.
So Paul makes the comment that it is better the Democrats are now in charge of oversight (something that would never come out of the mouth of a conservative), and we get not even a glimmer of disappointment from his minions.
Oh and the truther accusation? walks like a duck and all that. He specifically said to the called “like you and others”, so one must assume he agrees with the caller, no?
But...but...he denied it! Too funny.
My media player did not have a counter on it when I listened to it.
Explain his quote please in the opening post. You have been dancing around that since you entered this thread.
He denied being a truther (whatever), but please explain for us Paul haters (how silly is that too?) his statement — especially the better Democrats are in charge part.
;)
