Ann Althouse has the rundown of 9/11 denier Kevin Barrett, the UW-Madison lecturer, and his interview on Hannity and Colmes. After watching the video of this guy, I don’t see how any reasonable person could possibly conclude that Kevin Barrett is anything other than a complete nutcase.
Be sure to read Ann’s detailed account of the interview.
Yup, hundreds of Iraqi citizens killed every week and the nation spinning into all-out Civil War.
That’s an improvement.
If you believe that, you might as well believe 9/11 was an inside job.
Really, what’s the difference?
“Yup, hundreds of Iraqi citizens killed every week and the nation spinning into all-out Civil War.
That’s an improvement.”
Actually, yes, it is, even though your “spinning towards a civil war” bit is just flat wrong.
Even at “hundreds” per week , it’s a fraction of the number who were killed or died needlessly at the hands of Hussein’s henchmen in the same time period.
By the way – a lot of the people being killed nowadays are the folks who used to be doing the killing in the Baathist days. Meanwhile, things in the Kurdish north are pretty damned “stable,” and improved incredibly from the days when Hussein was doing that little “genocide” thing you don’t seem to care much about…
Only hundreds a week killed in iraq? I guess they are more stable then the U.S. because theres way more then that murdered everyweek here and they mostly occur in the Liberally ran big cities.. Go figure?
I “don’t care so much about”?
Why would you say that? How would you know?
Back to the point of my post.
You’d have to be a fool to believe Barrett about the 9/11 “inside job” and you’d have to be a fool to think Iraq is going well.
virgo1, compare homicide RATES in Iraq and the U.S.
Comparing total numbers is unhelpful insofar as you were attempting to contribute a meaningful point.
Robert, why the non sequitur?
Oh I get it, this is your attempt to brush all those who believe Iraq is going well as whackos!!
How creative. A more apt comparison would be finding people who believe Saddam and Bush are in cohorts and planned the Iraq war together and then compare them (if they exist) to this 9/11 idiot.
Yeah right totally Matt! The point is ridiculously apparent to anybody but the Shamestream media? The point is our Country is very violent! So if you are going to obsess on it? at least give it a proper perspective in the grand scheme of things?
No J.R.
Comparing one pie in the sky fantasy to another makes total sense.
Maybe Barrett is one of them “irrational Bush haters” so it makes him feel better that he “knows” the REAL story about 9/11.
His REAL story “could” be true, but our eyes and common sense tell us different.
Maybe those who think Iraq is better today than it was a year ago are “irrational Bush supporters” so it makes them feel better that they “know” the REAL story about what is happening in Iraq.
It “could” be true, but our eyes and common sense tell us different.
I dont see one person here with one single shred of anything to refute the findings of not only steven jones but a butt load of highly qualified experts who have given us MORE than proof that 911 was a controlled demolition! Give me one single solid form of proof to debunk anything these guys have discovered, other than the 911 commission. All you guys are saying here, is that they are nut cases… YOU are the nut cases!!!! http://www.myspace.com/911omissionscommission
I love how some people are so stupid they can see the exact opposite of the truth. To the guy who thought that Barrett was interrupting Hannity and going “LA LA LA LA LA”, if you back up and look objectively you’ll actually see that it is Hannity that is talking over Barrett and going “LA LA LA LA LA”. Barrett has good things to say, and although you don’t agree with him, he should have the chance to say them. Hannity’s “job” is to keep Barrett from saying anything useful and to spin everything he can to the FOX News Neo-Con viewpoint. Hannity clearly lost. Hannity looked like the nutjob who doesn’t have his facts straight.
