9/11 "Big Lie" Author coming to America (Liberal idiot alert)

NEW YORK (Dec. 3) - A French author who suggests that the Sept. 11 attacks were devised by a faction of the U.S. military is planning to promote his book on a tour that will begin in New York City.

Thierry Meyssan's book, ``9-11, The Big Lie,'' also suggests that the Pentagon was hit by an American missile, and not a hijacked airliner.

USA Books, a subsidiary of the book's French publisher, said he could launch the tour as early as this month. The dates have not been set, according to Asad Lalljee of USA Books, but the publicity blitz is likely to include interviews with several major TV news shows that have expressed interest.

In the book, the left-wing author suggests that the attacks were plotted to promote a U.S. military agenda that included waging war in Afghanistan.

The French press ridiculed the book, but it became a best seller in France for three months. The English version has not seen the same success, but Lalljee said 5,000 copies have sold without any marketing in the past six weeks since it was made available.

The Pentagon has called the allegations in the book ``more than insulting.''

Lt. Col. Ken McClellan, a Defense Department spokesman, said Monday he was appalled that Meyssan is planning a U.S. visit.

``Certainly there's a market for any sort of trivialization of history,'' McClellan said. ``That doesn't make it less of a tragedy.''

Sometimes I wonder why we ever helped the French in WW1 and WW2.

This idiot needs to be freeped BAD.

This idiot needs to be freeped BAD.

And not just in NYC, but in every town he even tries to come to...

[ctnoell]

I anyone knows where he will be conducting his "book tour", please post it on here. We Americans need to give the French author a "warm" welcome! We should not be too surprised of the French leeches and their hot/cold attitude toward the U.S. They did collaborate with Germany during WWII, by the way.

I hope the FBI/CIA have cameras at any book signings.....

[Johnny Gage]

This cheese-eating, wine-sipping, beret-wearing, surrender monkey needs MASSIVE freeping at EVERY place he goes.

I'm hoping he comes to Minnesota.

[demosthenes the elder]

as I stated on an earlier thread on this topic, the best response id a rancid mayonnaise pie in the distinguished author's face.

I'm bookmarking this thread. This guy's itinerary needs to be posted and tracked. This guy needs to be hounded across the nation if he shows up, along with any goofy TV show or media outlet that supports him.

I slept through one year of French class, but I think the English translation for this name is Micheal Rivero?

;-)

[Ground0]

This guy's barking up the wrong publicity tree by "promoting" his "book" in NYC.

Out of curiosity, does he offer an explination as to the whereabouts of the persons on the plane that struck the Pentagon if, ideed, it WAS a missile?

[hellinahandcart]

Oh, we're on it. Just waiting to learn to date and location.

[hellinahandcart]

Looky:

USA Books, a subsidiary of the book's French publisher, said he could launch the tour as early as this month.

Guess they don't want to wait until January.

"I slept through one year of French class, but I think the English translation for this name is Micheal Rivero?"

Yes, you obviously missed that class. It's French for "Lew Rockwell".

[fone]

Un écrou par tout autre nom . . .

Oh I HATE THE FRENCH.....I HATE THE FRENCH.....I HATE THE FRENCH.....I HATE THE FRENCH.....I HATE THE FRENCH

[Search4Truth]

Amazon seems like a good place to start the Freeping. The book has 3 -5 star reviews.

[KSCITYBOY]

This french moron is risking his life peddling this crap so close to the WTC site. Only the most left wing wack job would buy this crap.

[freedumb2003]

I do not advocate violence. That being said, I would not so much as lift a fingernail should an angry mob of people who lost loved ones in the WTC rip this bloody frog into litle tiny vichiswaus vichisaues pieces.

[ohioman]

This idiot needs to have his ass kicked. Then he can leave the country.

"the left-wing author"

Gosh, I didn't know there was such a thing as a "left-wing" author. I thought there were just right-wing wackos and, on the other side, normal folks like Al Gore and Noam Chomsky.
