“Jew Hating 9/11 kooks”

Jew hating…. First I have not found ANY such people in the libertarian movement, the RP R3volution, or even among old time conservatives. Second I have not found any of those RED STATE FASCIST Pro-Bush supporters to be Jew Hating. So WHERE is the Jew Hating? Second, I have been around hundreds of these 9/11 truthers and JBS conspiracy types, in the throws of DEBUNKING their ‘evidence’, but NOT ONE was “Jew Hating”. GO to Daily Paul and read my threads on Debunking all such Conspiracies. So Scott, why the unfair Kick? Really? Its so ….so O’Riely or Hannity of you. You are not a pundit like that are you? So take it back. You are YES 100% right that those Red State fascist Conservatives have been fully hypocritical…as in if Clinton invades Bosnia its bad, Bush invades Iraq its good. But as frustrating as it is to speak or write emails to these RED STATE FASCISTS, and I do, they are also not Jew Hating. If anything these Red State fascists are Mexican Hating and Arab/Muslim Hating…more like “Brown People Hating. Furthermore, the emotional source of this “brown hating” comes from the feeling of being invaded, or will be invaded; hence they search for a ‘Top Dog” masculine leader. So Scott, what these Red State fascists really are is Sociopath Sycophants. And I believe this a REAL psychological disposition, a disposition that takes first place in their minds well above ideas, goals, solutions, or ideology. Their initial reaction to Ron Paul and others of our persuasion is one of NOT LIKING WEAKNESS. Its as if they want a super tough ‘Top Dog’ to lead them. Jesse Ventura is just the kind of person that really messes with Red State Fascist Minds. 9/11 Truthers are not Red State Facists. Truthers are those who tend to have personalities that lean on the DSMV scale towards Paranoia and Obsessive Compulsive behaviors.

Knowing this about truthers may help you reason with them. Knowing this about Red State fascists Conservatives may help you reason with them as well. Name calling will not get you anywhere.

In Peace & Liberty,

Scott you are absolutely the right person for antiwar: balanced, informed, intelligent etc.
The “911 kooks” have really – no pun intended – unintentionally hurt the Ron Paul campaign (in NH etc.) as some in the media wanted to equate Ron Paul with them and all their conspiracy theories. Dr. Paul has handled and it still handling this the right way as a libertarian, e.g. allow for their 1st Amendment right. The ineptness with 911 should really be researched, as Dr. Paul pointed out.

One should also say those that attacked Iraq under the disguise of WMD also have a certain kookiness…e.g. it is really a kooky idea to think Iraq is going to destroy the US..

You are probably aware of Keith Olbermann’s partisan shill and Glenn Greenwald’s article about it. Olbermann is so one sided and with his betrayal of principle has shown that he is becoming irrelevant and unbelievable.

The violation of privacy was de-criminalized and those
who broke the law were not pardoned, but released
ex post facto. This is in violation of the constitution Article 1.
Greenwald’s input would be very interesting.
Maybe it was a “pardon,” but then I haven’t read the
bill. And besides, if it was a “pardon” then this establishes guilt
and implies
guilt by the President as well since he authorized it.
Does he need a pardon?
The passing of the ex post facto law removes any decision
in this regard. No guilt will ever be established since the
new law removes any guilt, ex post facto.
Get my drift?
This needs to be expounded upon.

I wonder about that. They can’t even let people off the hook after the fact? I always thought that was only about criminalizing things. Like, for example, retroactive tax cuts are okay, retroactive tax increases are the Devil.

Scott, in the interview you didn’t bring up the fact that the FISA
bill also violates Article 1 of the Constitution which prohibits
ex post facto legislation.
The complicit comm companies violated the law and are being
granted immunity ex post facto.
This is not “merely” a violation of the Bill of Rights but a violation
of the very CORE intent of legislative power oulined in the
Constitution.

Ry, what do you think about the work of Ralph Schoenman (he’s on WBAI)? I consider his work some of the best.
