Vote Ron Paul 2008!

"On the food chain of vile and disgusting behavior, 9/11 Conspiracists are one step above the Westboro Baptist Church. They comprise a collection of loons, who are the meeting place where the far-right and the far-left meet."

Westboro Phelps Love Cult is NOT FAR RIGHT!!! Phelps is just another bigoted Democrat politician (and he has run for office several times).

[ClearCase_guy]

Incorrect formulation. The Far-right has nothing to do with Nazism, holocaust denial, or hatred of Israel. Those are all attributes of the various flavors of Socialism. The Left is the problem here.

[weegee]

“The far right has dedicated enormous efforts to Holocaust denial.”

Uh, no.

[live+let_live]

I always thought the left-right line is actually a circle.

If you go too far right, you find yourself on the left.

[weegee]

9/11 denial is not a reasoned process. I live in Lower Manhattan and I saw the first posters blaming the US government and claiming Muslim terrorists weren't at fault mere days after the attacks when downtown itself had been shut down. Their first reaction even while the rescue efforts went on was to defend their ideological allies in Afghanistan.

Within days, Michael Moore and the LaRouchians were both soliciting ANY evidence/accounts that it was REALLY "Timothy McVeigh" types who hijacked the planes and other conspiracy theories.

I no longer have the LaRouchian email that was forwarded to me.

PS. Three days ago, I learned from someone at ABC News that ABC had videotape -- an angle of the second plane crashing into the tower -- that showed an F-16 fighter jet trailing the plane at a distance.

I have not shared this with you as I had not personally witnessed that tape myself and did not want to contribute to all the unsubstantiated rumors. It just came across on the TV that the government admitted they did dispatch fighter jets when they knew the planes were off course.

From this point, I will pass on any censored information to those of you in the mainstream media who are being blocked from reporting.

Is it becoming more clear now that the plane that went down in Pennsylvania was shot down to prevent it from attacking its destination?

The truth is harrowing, unbearable -- but it must be told to us. A free people cannot make an informed decision if they are kept in the dark. Let's hear ALL the truth NOW.

(emphasis is mine) Denial ain't a river.

[jmc813]

By now these forms of 9/11 denial have gone mainstream as the rhetoric of Noam Chomsky gives way to Newsweek editorials and the stump speeches of Ron Paul.

This is the second time this week this Daniel Greenfield douche has posted nonsense. Ron Paul never gave a "stump speech" denying terrorism on 9-11.

Besides the fact, I haven't heard this "far left meets far right" business here on FR since the ol' liberal enema of '07.

ping for later

[jmc813]

I must admit, for such a retarded original article, this thread turned out to be a pretty intelligent intellectual discussion. Well done, all.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

The author errors, substantially and throughout the article, by repeating the leftist-created propaganda that the Nazis and their like were/are on the “right”, when factually, in their genesis and their program they come from the left and have their closest political cousins in the Communists.

[fr_freak]

"Right" and "Left" are relative terms, and I don't think this author's use of the term applies to the US. "Right" or conservative in the USSR was totalitarian communist, while "left" would have been calssical liberalism. However, "right" in the USA is classic liberalism, meaning that it is in favor of the supremacy of the individual, or of the people in general, rather than the state. When regarded in those terms, extreme right-wing in the US is not Naziism, it's libertarianism, whereas extreme left in the USA is totalitarianism/socialism.

I think the whole "circle" model of right and left is merely a lie perpetrated by the left to justify the brutal and totalitarian tendencies of socialism. That way, leftists can say "We may have had Stalin, but the right had Hitler, so we are morally equal." However, the truth is that Hitler was a leftist, by American standards.

[SuziQ]

Islamic terrorist attacks forces governments to adopt security measures that radical movements can then use as ammunition to argue that we are living under a tyranny and radicalize their more moderate cousins.

Oh my, is this ever true!

[Blood of Tyrants]

What he calls the “Far Left” is actually the base, core, and heart of the Democrat Party.
