Shuttle Cover-up? (kook alert)

While I appreciate the offer, where I am going they don't take bail money. I just hope they don't try to give me one of those keester probes. (or is that the aliens? I am no good at this conspiracy stuff.)

You seem to be learning fast!

I think the Democraps are behind the wreck.  My local paper said that it's possible "disaster may be linked to left wing."

It is odd that the White House chief of staff would watch a shuttle landing. Such a routine event

ROUTINE??? With 10 times the security due to Ilan Ramon?
LeBoutiller is an imbicile.

"Is this true, Dr. Venkman?"
"Yes, it's true...this man has no dick"

We are up to our conservative necks in a**holes.

As someone once noted after one of the many train derailment/terrorism-end of times threads;

"If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport, Free Republic would win the Gold every year."

My favorite was when the "Big Guy's" kid was home from Military School. Music from 'Patton' would always play in the background whenever the kid entered the room, or gazed off into the distance. Still cracks me up.

LOL!

Wasn't this nut once a Congressman?

From New York's sixth district, according to his bio.

He got elected as a Republican in Queens? The same district that elected Floyd Flake?

[aculeus]

He got elected as a Republican in Queens?

Or Nassau? (Plenty of Republicans in Queens, BTW. All those tax-paying home owners.)

Today we pay tribute to seven brave people. These seven people were combat pilots, aeronautical engineers, scientists…astronauts. Many of them had been with the space program for years, for others this was the culmination of their dreams.

Within hours of this terrible disaster there were some on FR claiming that the disaster was the result of NASA’s incompetence, that the disaster was avoidable and that the cover up had already began. They have offered up memo’s, doctored photos and wild rumor as evidence.

In order to be true than we must also assume that the seven astronauts who died were fools or somehow duplicitous in their own deaths. Are we expected to believe that the knowledge of a few rumor mongers on the internet is greater then that of those who flew on Challenger?

Are we to believe that these seven astronauts were not aware of the foam problems on the shuttle program or the effects of budget cuts on the program? Are we to believe that they were foolish enough to fly a platform into space that was doomed from the beginning as some on FR claim?

If we accept their speculation then we must also assume that their fellow astronauts, walking the woodlands of east Texas looking for their remains, will not seek to discover the real cause of their deaths, but will work to cover up for NASA. Do you really believe this?

Is this what we’ve come to on FR? This doesn’t just smear NASA, it smears the seven brave people we honor today.

One would think that if Card was expecting an accident, he would have been watching CNN, and have had a phone-line open to NASA, seeing that NASA-TV had no video.

[Marysecretary]

Aha! And WHEN did he know it?

[DoughtyOne]

I find that you have posted his about ten times across the forum. Evidently embarassing yourself on just one thread wasn't bad enough. Here's what I said to you on the other posts.

I'm just curious if you also think it's an insult to homicide, robbery, or assault victims when their family and friends exercise their God given talents to investigate who
carried out those crimes, when the police are unable to asertain who did it?  In this instance we have an agency that has two vested interests, full disclosure and the
welfare of the agency itself.  Why it would be an insult to the astronauts to make sure they weren't short-changed in the process, is beyond me.

I have seen the product of your logic before.  It's generally interesting, but seldom very sound.  Don't give up.

You find this embarassing? This is the product of your logic? I do feel sorry for you.
