Colorado Democrats Go Nutter

They've included a 9-11 "Truth" plank in their party platform:

“Whereas many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future.”


Note this background:
The citizens who presented arguments for a new investigation at their precinct caucuses are signatories to the Architect and Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization (www.ae911truth.org) which calls for a new investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.


Crackpots with Box Boy Gage's group, in other words.

Democrats are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for votes.

If I'm reading the right hand columns correctly, this was a proposed plank that was rejected. The fact that 36 percent of those voting thought it had merit was very unfortunate and speaks to the ideology of some of the participants but it isn't correct to say it was "adopted."

My bad, the plank before it mentioned 9/11 was rejected. The one Pat mentions was adopted. Ugh! State party platforms are often ignored by candidats as this one apparently was, but it doesn't speak well of the activists who sat on the committee that buy the pathetic "evidence" brought forth by the twoofers.

So advocating a new investigation is "going nutter"? It's hard to state in words how foolish you guys look.

What fallacious appeals? The dishonesty of the 9/11 Commission is obvious--the Executive Director had major conflicts of interest, maintained contact with Rove and Rice during the investigation, and pushed a politicized agenda against Iraq until he couldn't make it stick any more. It was obviously a bipartisan cover-up: "We won't talk about this if you won't walk about that."

The reports on the twin towers are dishonest, incomplete, and unbelievable. Because they stop at the moment of collapse initiation, they don't deal with any of the baffling aspects of the destruction of the towers: symmetry, totality, speed, pulverization of the concrete, and molten iron in the basement.

It seems like state party platforms is where you can find all sorts of loony planks adopted. I think the Texas GOP adopted one calling for the outright criminalization of homosexuality.

Still, as a registered Democrat, I find this embarrassing and disturbing.

Brian, you also think that "rake-on-rake" and "meatball on a fork" are "obvious". The only thing obvious is that you need professional psychiatric care.

How many times are you going to repeat this absurd nonsense before you understand that nobody cares what you think about the NIST report? Ignorant lunatic sex stalkers don't have a seat at the table of professional engineers. Deal with it.

Ian, "rake on rake" and "meatball on a fork" are obvious to anyone with half a brain. I'm sorry they confuse you, but it's not my fault. They tried to warn you not to huff that hairspray but you wouldn't stop.

Rather than address the points, you attack me. It's not my opinion alone that the reports are inadequate. It's also the opinion of 1350 architects and engineers. Youse guys have failed utterly to provide the names of independent engineers who validate the NIST report. All of the names you provide are tainted by contracts with, work with, or awards from NIST.

There is nothing hysterical about demanding complete and plausible reports.

What "points"?

It's not my opinion alone that the reports are inadequate. It's also the opinion of 1350 architects and engineers.

And nobody cares.

Youse guys have failed utterly to provide the names of independent engineers who validate the NIST report.

"Youse"? Also, this statement is a total lie.

All of the names you provide are tainted by contracts with, work with, or awards from NIST.

And all of your "1350" are tainted by their association with Richard Gage...

There is nothing hysterical about demanding complete and plausible reports.

It's a good thing we've already got complete and plausible reports, huh?

Now go babble about your love for Willie Rodriguez.

Ian, you blatant lies are an embarrassment to your own claims. I must suppose you get some perverse thrill out of lying.

Brian, you're in no way capable of making such judgments. Please just stick to what you know, like mopping floors.

Brian, everyone knows you are petgoat. Pretending otherwise just makes you look like an even bigger lunatic. And your "rake on rake" model is hilarious in its insanity.

Ian, you blatant lies are an embarrassment to your own claims. I must suppose you get some perverse thrill out of lying.

I've never lied, Brian. You, however, would do well to stop lying about being petgoat or your motivations for stalking Willie Rodriguez.

So Brian, are you going to watch the Giants tonight? They're one win away from their first world championship since moving to San Francisco!

The dude pitching for SF tonight is a pothead. You'd do well to emulate him, Brian. Smoking a bit of grass would probably help you calm down a bit and not be such an obsessed lunatic.

Those who generalize "conspiracy theories/theorists" clearly have significantly less reasoning/intelligence than the rest of society.

The fun part of having a new investigation is that we can count on two things:

1. The new report will look much like the first one, only more expensive yet with the same conclusions.

2. The Twoofers will continue to cry cover-up and inside jobby job.

So advocating a new investigation is "going nutter"?

It is if is done on the basis of the "evidence" put forth by the twoofers. As for Gage's 1,350, no one knows if they all have the credentials they claim or if the even exist. However, even if they did, of the millions in those professions, only a tiny fraction have endorsed the twoofer claims. I don't doubt there are 1,000 plus people in those professions who have such a vitriolic hatred for this country so their ideology would drive them to endorse twoof "science" but it doesn't make their assertions any more true. No credible objective body has endorsed twoof claims, what some activist group says is basically immaterial.

Hey Brian, do you hear people celebrating outside your window? Yeah, the Giants won the world series. Why not go out and join in the fun and celebrate? You'll get some fresh air and you may just meet someone to make you forget Willie Rodriguez.

ConsDemo, despite repeated challenges to those on this board and elsewhere, I am unable to find any names to put on a list of "Architects and Engineers for the NIST Report" who are independent of those reports.

Can you help? The names that get trotted out are all people who worked on the official reports, or whose firms had contracts with NIST, or who received awards from NIST.

Can you name one independent engineer?

So what? I've asked you many times to name an independent engineer who endorses the theory of gravity and you haven't done it.

He's a member of Gage's group, therefore, he is neither independent nor does he endorse the laws of physics.

So you can't find an independent engineer who endorses the theory of gravity. Well, I guess we need a new investigation into whether gravity exists, huh?

Snuggy, that's a really stupid argument. Government agencies don't form advocacy groups.

If a significant number of legitimate architects and engineers believe what you believe, given the magnitude of the crime if it were true, AE911twoof would have millions of members.

What they should do, if they think Gage is full of it, is go to one of his presentations and ask him questions that will reveal his ignorance and irrationality. They don't. GuitarBill, for all his internet bluster, doesn't. They can't. He can't.

Your "experience"? What, are you calling them and/or e-mailing them? You know, they might just be ignoring you because they have more important things to do than address the paranoid concerns of crazy people....

What they should do, if they think Gage is full of it, is go to one of his presentations and ask him questions that will reveal his ignorance and irrationality.

None of these people are going to bother wasting time on someone so irrelevant. They have more important things to do that address the nonsensical claims of a charlatan like Gage.

They don't. GuitarBill, for all his internet bluster, doesn't. They can't. He can't.

Brian, I met a guy in Union Square who claimed to be the illegitimate child of an affair between Tsar Nicholas II and Liza Minnelli. He demanded the geneticists at NYU Medical Center test him to disprove his claim. They ignored him. It's obvious most of them are afraid to talk about it and afraid to think about it. They just don't want to know, right?

People have tried. All they get is excuses, evasive answers, nonsense, assertions that a new investigation is needed, demands for donations, and lies, lies, lies. The world has learned not to bother.

What? Brian, you like to babble about metaphors and analogies, but you're too dumb to understand an obvious one: The crazy guy in Union Square shouldn't expect geneticists to take him seriously because his claims are nonsense. Likewise, you and Richard Gage should expect engineers to take AE911truth seriously because their claims are nonsense.
