Moore Goes Troofer?
Dave Weigel found an incredibly long and tedious video posted by moronic Troofers from infowars.com, in which they pester Michael Moore at a screening of his film “Sicko” until he finally talks to them.
I’m sure you’ll be as surprised as I am to find out that Moore’s leaning toward Trooferism himself.
TROOFER: And we know that 9/11 was an inside job.
MOORE: Right.
TROOFER: So we want to get your comments on that.
MOORE: Well, I’ve had a number of firefighters tell me over the years, and since Fahrenheit 9/11, that they heard these explosions, that they believe there is much more to the story then we’ve been told. I don’t think the official investigations have told us the complete truth. They haven’t even told us half the truth. And so I support, and I hope, you know, if there’s a new administration or somebody could open up a new investigation of this before we get too far away from it, to find out the whole truth. Let me just give you one thing that has—I’ve asked for for a long time. I’ve filmed before, down at the Pentagon, before 9/11. There’s got to be at least 100 video cameras ringing that building, in the trees, everywhere. They’ve got that plane coming in with 100 angles. How come we haven’t seen the straight—I’m not talking about stop-action photos, I’m talking about the video. I want to see the video, I want to see 100 videos that exist of this. Why don’t they want us to see that plane coming into the building? Because, you know, if you know anything about flying a plane, if you’re going 500 mph, if you’re off by that much, you’re in the river. To hit a building that’s only 5 stories high that expertly, I believe that there will be answers in that video tape and you should demand that that tape is released.
TROOFER: The idea that the hole is about 8 feet wide…
MOORE: See, I’m not very good at the physics and all that. But believe me, the questions need to be asked.
TROOFER: So you have a lot of unanswered questions.
MOORE: Oh, and I intend in my own way to find some answers. So, thank you for whatever you’re doing.
It always comes down to that blasted, impossible-to-understand physics, doesn’t it? But that question has already been answered.

The Daily Kos Kidz are all over this breaking news; they have a poll up in which 87% want a new investigation into 9/11: Daily Kos: Michael Moore Calls For New 9/11 Investigation. (Hat tip: Killgore.)
