So the un-Truthers get to speak, and the protesters are "far-right wingers."

Our institutions of higher learning.

Yeah, right.

Amazing! There does seem to be some intelligence in Michigan.

The Sith did it! I knew Cheney was a Sith Lord! I knew it!

(Man, I bet the Truthers whined :-)

Actually I thought that the B'nai Brith did it on orders of the Mossad.

The truth just gets truther.

I just looked around and discovered that I am a far right-winger.

I like it.

Young Americans for Freedom, a far-right group that protested the event.

So if you protest against these nuts, they call you far-right?

Good lord.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Young Americans for Freedom, a far-right group that protested the event.

Compared to the so-far-to-the-left-they-almost-wrap-around-to-the- right nutjobs at UMich, I guess the could be "far-right".

Far right?

Do they teach history in the US?

I'm being serious.

Is it not a requirement?

Bush Killed Kenny! : SouthPark still rules.

Good to see some right minded protestors at the U of M. A2 is a repository of moonbats, unfortunately, right down the road from me........(yikes)

Proud on ya Michiganders.....you rock!

Nominees for next year's Anti-Idiotarians?

At any rate, I applaud these young folks for actually getting noticed and being quite cool about it. "Bush killed Kenny" had me rolling on the floor.

Stock Tip of the Day:

Invest in tinfoil!

mama winger,

You do know LGF is a far right wing site right?

“Bush Killed Kenny.”

I want that on a T-shirt.

Way to go, YAF! Ridicule is my favorite weapon against LLL's like the Truthers, and you guys nailed them. Let's hope this is the beginning of a campus trend.

I love it. Put those kids on the honor roll for not being idiots.

(And the girl is not bad looking to boot.)

Now can we give Michigan to Canada?

"Far-right" my ass. My parents don't believe this pap, and they're not right-wingers by any stretch.

These guys HAVE to get together with Protest Warriors.

love the labeling bias -- a "far right-wing" group protests! Will you see "far left-wing" as a label for the truthers? And what the hell does "far right" mean anyway? Libertarian? Who determines what "far right" is? Oh, our lovely liberal media is just so truthy!

Far out, I'm far-right.

/mixed metaphor

"Bush killed Kenny"

Kyle: "Really?"

/truther episode

College kids are doing this? And people say I'm crazy for home-schooling my kids. There's got to be a 9-11 equivalent of Bill Shatner to get up in front of these nimrods and tell them to "get a life".

Perhaps these kids might have something better/harmless to focus their attention on if there were more Star Trek movies and shows.

What is this cult thing I'm hearing about in the HOLY CITY of Najaf?

How would you distinguish?

Anyone?

Why does the World's Oldest Person keep dying, over and over again? I mean, week after week . . . . .

Oh I'm sorry, how stupid of me. Bush is killing them off to take our focus off the quagmire in Iraq.

Anyone that has seen those buildings that are leveled by controlled explosions knows how much preparation has to go into setting all of the explosives, all of the wiring. Some of what we've seen exploded on the evening news took a month or two to prepare. They'd (9/11'ers) would lead you to believe that an effort of setting charges and wiring to bring down two one-hundred ten story buildings was all accomplished out of the site of the thousands of people that went into and out of those two buildings everyday. Wow, Bush, Cheney and Halliburton, they're good.

All your tinfoil are belong to us!

"Truthers" are so concerned about truth, yet ignore the numerous lies of the MSM. They believe government spouts lies as a matter of course, yet they celebrate big government. They diss Christians, yet welcome Islam in the name of tolerance and multiculturalism. They want to take their country back, while simultaneously throwing out marriage, God, and the founding concept of freedom from tyranny. Truly, a form of psychosis - a separation of mind from reality.

a far-right group

What exactly makes them far-right?

I hope we have a Hillary Clinton thread soon. I am soooo ready.

OT, but speaking of truthness, is it true that on tonight's epispode of "24", Jack Bauer slaps the socialist snot out of the editor of the LA Times for not running the story of the nuking of Valencia? Purportedly the whining LAT editor begs for Bauer to read the article they ran yesterday: "Was 9/11 really that bad?
The attacks were a horrible act of mass murder, but history says we're overreacting."

Your assignment for today: compare and contrast the behavior of the YAF protesters with the protesters against the Minutemen who tried to speak at Columbia University last fall. Blue books open...now.

At least they weren't Ultra Conservative!

My gosh that sort of thinking is unf'ingbelievable!

We do not have a hope of winning the war on terrorism.

The Truthers are stupid.

The World Trade Center towers went down because, and only because, islamic sons-a-bitches flew planes into them.

The proximate cause was the loss of lateral support to the outer columns, as the lighter bar joists of the floors gave way from the impact and fires.

The outer columns buckled under the loads of the floors above when their slenderness ratio was too much, and they need not have been hot to fail because steel is ductile at room temperature.

Signed, Ojoe the architect.

I'm actually surprised that none of the truthers has brought up the notion that the WTC towers are actually still standing, but are being hidden by a cloaking device.

Yes, ridicule is the best way to deal with these morons...it makes the steam come out of their ears and causes their tin foil hats to heat up.

This reminds me of Blame Bush! (Because Bush is to blame for everything):

[Link: blamebush.typepad.com...]

My favorite postings of "Liberal Larry" are "Bush Kicks Pluto out of the Solar System" and "Exploding Bus Kills Muslim Male."

Judging by the hate mail Larry gets, this site really makes the nutroots angry.

#3: Iron Fist

He is depicted as such.

We have a Saturday morning show on WPRO in Providence run by Matt Allen - a conservative guy that I think has his act together. He has open mike the last hour 11-12 and there is a nutjob that constantly calls in to spout this tripe and boy does he lay it on thick. I have to bite my tongue repeatedly to prevent me from calling in and telling this guy that he is full of "just poop" and that he knows what to do with it.

I would suppose this guy is otherwise rational and maybe even a nice person but, when his nutjob ideas start to ferment it has nasty results.

Need more pictures of Sarah Ledford (the blond in the picture).

Can we put some Lizardoids on that?

Humor is a potent weapon to kill off lunacy. Remember that. The left is afraid.

I don't know if this is the girl in the picture, but she's cute! Another reason to fight for freedom ;)

YankInTheEU : (And the girl is not bad looking to boot.)

The girl is living proof of P.J. O'Rourke's theory that beautiful women are found supporting the important causes of the world. As opposed to the frightening things you see at anti-war marches.

Charles, you might want to run a thread on that L.A. Times Article THX-42 links to in Post #32.

(LostNV, I saw that article in a local coffee shop out here the other day; yes, unfrickinbelievable! Do a thread, Charles! Us West Coast Lizards are just dying to pitch into the Times again!)

to take a building down in to one neat pile takes planning.

to take a building down when you do not care about how it falls doesnt take all that much time.

an no, i am NOT suggesting that it was a setup, just that there are better arguemnts to refute the "truther" assholes.

And just how the hell did these modern-day Holocaust-deniers (I refuse to call them "Truthers") get an invitation to speak at the U. Michigan Student Union, anyway? That's absolutely obscene.

They vote Republican? On any American university campus, that IS "far-right".

Don't forget that evil Bush ordered Cheney to shoot Kyle & Stan in the same episode, "Damn, missed again".

The girl is living proof of P.J. O'Rourke's theory that beautiful women are found supporting the important causes of the world. As opposed to the frightening things you see at anti-war marches.

Much as I hate to admit it, I've actually seen a fair number of cuties at the idiotarian gatherings here in DC. These things tend to attract lots of mildy hippie-ish college and grad school girls, and relatively few of them are the freakshow sort featured in the zombietime pictorial essays.

I just left a comment at Michigan Daily in response to their article and the security key that came up for me to retype so they knew it wasn't spam was ....... WMD I guess I'm surprised it wasn't "truther" or "inside job"

Hey truther-scum! Google up "Julius Streicher." Follow his path, share his fate.
(I suppose the Nuremberg Tribunal was "far right" too)

BTW, has anyone else noticed an upsurge in Ufoolery in recent weeks? The whole sub-culture was nearly extinct a couple of years ago, thanks to the internet giving skeptics an equal voice. It appears to be coming back from the dead, however: There has been a spate of ufo stories in local media outlets recently. To a greater degree than in the past, these appear to be originated by local news types themselves rather than by UFO enthusiasts.

That idiotic article from the LAT well deserves its own thread.

As if a system that produces suicide bombers is not a threat to the basic human cooperation that is necessary for our survival. islam is an existential threat all right.

It will be too late to fight it when even idiots like David Bell are aware of its true natrure.

I prefer to think I'm Überconservative, but you can call me far-right if you wish.

I've always thought of myself as a classical liberal, but if they want to call me far right, I'll wear the label proudly.

#30 rabidsqurrel

What makes them far right?

Well, you see "Young Americans for Freedom" is far right because the left and far left would be "Young Americans for Totalitarianism"

Ahh, UFO's are harmless fun, and I only wish that those with a fascination for UFOs would keep far away from politics.

Yes! I love it. Fight the absurd with absurdity! It totally pisses them off to! Another good tactic is to tell them, "Really, I didn't know that" at first they try to "educate" you. but if you keep saying "Really, I didn't know that" enough times, they go nuts!

"The group plans to have what they bill as three former terrorists speak at Rackham Auditorium Tuesday night about the roots of terrorism and what prompted them to stop committing acts of terror."

Let's hope for some coverage of this event on LGF.

Maybe the far-left will protest in some some fashion or another as well.

#49 wargammer2005

to take a building down in to one neat pile takes planning.

I disagree. Gravity is what makes them fall straight down. What takes careful planning is to make one go anywhere other than straight down. If you look at failures in that business most of them are when someone tries to tip something over.

#38 "I'm actually surprised that none of the truthers has brought up the notion that the WTC towers are actually still standing, but are being hidden by a cloaking device."

They thought about it, but Capt. Picard reminded them just how much power would be required to run a cloak of that magnitude and they figured it wasn't really possible with current technology.

Although Rove would do it if he could.

Therefore they are actually lying on their sides in the East River, hidden from view by the murky water. That is what caught the USS Intrepid up when they tried to move it. Silt!?! HA!

#64 FlyingTigress

Actually, the Truth is that GWB is, in reality, Lamont Cranston and he "Has the power to cloud mens' minds"

The only place he could have gotten that ability is the Zionist entity. The Carlysle group is really a front for the Mossad, and the Saudi royal family is working for....umm.....how does that work again?

“Quite simple to pull off really. All I had to do was have explosives planted in the base of the towers, then on 9/11 we pretended like four planes were being hijacked when really we just re-routed them to Pennsylvania then flew two military jets into the World Trade Center filled with more explosives and then shot down all the witnesses on Flight 93 with an F-15 after blowing up the Pentagon with a cruise missile. It was only the world’s most intricate and flawlessly executed plan ever… ever.”

I think UFOolery goes in cycles, but one significant fact is that even Art Bell thinks the truthers are nuts. That ought to tell you something.

Is one of those reich wingers SMOKING? Killing innocent bystanders with his second hand smoke (not to mention the effect on the climate)?

THE BASTID!

Absolutely they're far-right...they are, by far, right about 9/11 when compared with the asshats holding the truther meeting.

Trust me when I say Michigan throws out enough of these wackos to make anyone sane look "right-wing".

#55 Shiplord Kirel

BTW, has anyone else noticed an upsurge in Ufoolery in recent weeks?

A "sighting" at O'Hare was the top front-page story in the Chicago Tribune on Jan 1. That was some sort of sign that they'd be taken seriously again...

You know as time passes and history rolls on, I'm waiting for some nut-job to claim Abu Gharib as a reason for the 9-11 attacks. It will happen, if it hasn't already.

Singing Kumbaya takes the cake.

I urge any and all of you who detect UFOs to immediately report them to SHADO.

UFOs!?! There just a distraction from the real issue - Bigfoot attacks. We're through the looking glass here, people.

I was afraid when I first saw the photo and the tin hats, that the blonde was a left wing truther, and thought to myself, she is too hot to be a leftie nut! Boy was I glad to see she wasn't! That blonde is beyond hot! More photos please! ;)

#79 BeerDrinking_VictoryMonkey

Bigfoot wouldn't be attacking if we humans didn't insist on expanding into his natural habitat. Those people just got what was coming to them.

fight the absurd with absurdity! It pisses the LLL off!

The building's engineer said the "building structure would remain intact" in the event of a direct plane crash, Bowman said.

There are no experts in tall building fire collapse, because it doesn't happen," Bowman said.

Huh? There's plenty of evidence that a building will collapse when you drop a bomb on it, Bowman, you fucking idiot. That's what those planes were: flying bombs.

ALL THEIR BONG ARE BELONG TO US!

Notice how that far right group protested an event without rushing the stage and pummeling the speakers they disagreed with?

Maybe that's why we can't get no respect - we aren't disresepctful enough...

There are some sane people left in Michigan. We won't be giving up my home state without a fight.

Cost of Tinfoil Per Hat - about 15 cents
Picture of YAF'ers Dissing the "Truthers" - Priceless.

-S-

just... no.
No.

Bush didn't kill Kenny, stupid people with foil hats did.
I think. :X

Bowman described what he called inconsistencies in initial investigations into the Sept. 11 attacks. He said the construction engineer of the World Trade Center buildings considered the impact of plane crashes while designing the building. The building's engineer said the "building structure would remain intact" in the event of a direct plane crash, Bowman said.

And the structure did stay intact until the fire eventually weakened it to collapse. What this moron isn't telling you is:

1. The buildings were designed to take the impact of a 707 (roughly 250,000 lb). They were hit by 767s (roughly 400,000 lb).

2. Due to environmental regulations being prematurely implimented, the structural fireproofing on the upper floors was made with an asbestos-free formulation that failed.

3. The original engineer considered (read above quote) "the impact of plane crashes". He never talked about the fire that would ensue from the fuel load.

Bowman, stick to whatever it is that you do, and leave the engineering to the engineers. Oh. Stirring up shiite is what you do. Nevermind.

Man if we're going to send our far-right soldiers into the fray, couldn't we pick some that looked a little more threatening. These kids look absolutely harmless. I know, I know they're all volunteers but comeon...... who put this together?

"There are no experts in tall building fire collapse, because it doesn't happen," Bowman said.

Gotta love that circular logic. I should try that sometime. There are no experts on global warming because it doesn't happen. Cool!

Well, History Channel for the last coupla years or more has been running a fascinating show called "UFO Files" every Monday night at 8pm ET. Each show, they focus on one particular UFO incident and tell everything that is known about it, or they focus on one aspect of the UFO world... such as all the UFOs that have ever been seen by airline pilots (with the actual recordings of the radio conversations with the tower and the other pilots). Most of the time, the stuff comes across as highly scientific and erudite... not moonbatty at all.

This show might be one reason the "Ufoolery" stuff has had an upsurge: UFOlogy is becoming respectable again... :-D

Foolish Truthers! You think you have it all figured out, but you grasp only a tiny fragment of the TRUE conspiracy.

Consider:
1. Ever notice that the Towers were "completed" and "opened" in 1970, during...the Nixon administration!?! Bush and Nixon both needed a way to distract the country from the illuminating savoir-faire of John Kerry. Coincidence?(?)

2. Ever wonder why there were two Towers? Well, here are some other things related to the number two: Gerald Ford was the number two vice president during Nixon's second term - and appointed the first of two men named George Bush as his CIA director! And the man who was rejected as Bush I's first choice for Defense Secretary was none other than John Tower!

3. Nixon taped stuff in the Oval Office. Airplanes use flight data recorders in the cockpit. Eerie.

The obvious conclusion: the Towers never existed!

Their appearance on the New York skyline was a conspiracy - a visual hoax perpetrated by Nixon's tricksters as a way to prove that John Kerry was hallucinating from bad Cambodian Thai-stick laced with LSD when he testified before Congress.

Nixon’s covert “Construction Crew” intended to “disappear” the illusion shortly thereafter, but soon too many people had started to believe in the Towers. By the time GHW Bush became Head Spook, he had devised a diabolical plan to maintain the Tower illusion until a time of extreme need for the VRWC. That day came when Bush II was up for re-election...against John Kerry.

Early one morning, Pappy shut down the illusion, and billions of people worldwide, in psychotic reaction to the severe cognitive dissonance caused by the subconscious realization that their eyes had been made “the fools o’ th’ other senses” for 30+ years, conjured an immediate and communally shared false memory of their destruction based on a story subliminally broadcast over the Internets saying that Islamic terrorists had flown jetliners into the buildings. Bush II went on to take the Oath a second time – all thanks to the patient, evil scheming of the super-secretive Nixon-Kissinger-Pinochet-Skull-and-Bones-Haig-Chen ey-Heston-Kirkpatrick-Bush-Vargas Llosa-Bush-Dole (E.)-Limbaugh-Hayek-McCarthy-Armstrong (L.)-Armstrong (N.)-Nugent-WSJ Editors cabal.

So, that’s the Truth: there never were any Towers. It was all Republican mind control.

On a completely unrelated note...I went back to the article just now to check to see if any more comments had been added. On the right-hand side there's a poll for readers of the Michigan Daily, asking them to vote for the best album of the year.

UFO Files is pure propaganda thinly disguised to seem scientific and objective. Has any show in the series ever concluded that ETs were not involved in the featured sightings?
Ufoolery is a lying power cult, and a breeding ground for more sinister conspiracists.
