While Dick Tuck was renowned as a Democratic campaign ‘trickster’, the nick name was not applied to him, as he came along too late.

I was not including you in “us”.
I was referring to “all of us” on the right who are not mean spirited.

There is no point.
I am just having fun.

I got my tin foil hat on and……oohhhh…. it feels soooooo goood.

Outing your ass was just a bonus.

That you did not notice that I switched to a conservative framing in my second post is truly funny.

“I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, ‘We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.’ And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.”

–Larry Silverstein

Let’s examine this, shall we?

“I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire”
I doubt that the fire department commander would say something like that about a “small, insubstantial fire…” like you conspiracy wackjobs like to claim.

“and I said, ‘We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it”

Let’s be honest now and apply Occram’s Razor. What makes more sense? DId Silverstein say

“We’ve had such terrible loss of life that it would be wise to blow up my building”

or was he saying

“We’ve had such terrible loss of life that it would be wise to withdraw firefighters to prevent further loss of life”

Be honest now, we are watching…

“…And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse…”

Who made that decision? Look very closely. “They”. The FDNY made the decision. Does the FDNY demolish buildings with explosives? No. “Pull” to a fireman means to “pull out” of a situation too dangerous to be near.

Here’s a clue for you. Silverstein used the term “Pull” to describe a decision made. Conspiracy theorists say “Pull” is a term used by demolition experts. This is one of those many half truths conspiracy theorists use to convince the ignorant. “Pull” is used when they “Pull” a building away from another with cables during demolition. So, what brought down WTC7? Most likely getting hit by the perimeter columns during the Tower Collapse and it’s eventual conflaguration.

“We had to be very careful about how we demolished building 6. We were worried about building 6 coming down and damaging the slurry walls, so we wanted that particular building to fall within a certain area.”

Interesting. They needed to be sure that building 6 came down in a “controlled” way. But wait a second: the video clip that Alex Jones presents – the clip that’s shown on all the conspiracist websites –ends abruptly at this point. Huh? Where’s the money shot? Why’d they cut it there?

Here’s why:

Because the very next scene scene shows how building 6 was “pulled”: with cables attached to the hydraulic arms of four excavators, not with explosive charges.

“We’ve got the cables attached in four different locations going up. Now they’re pulling the building to the north. It’s not every day you try to pull down a eight story building with cables.”

Narrator Kevin Spacey: “The use of explosives to demolish World Trade Centers 4, 5 and 6 was rejected for fear workers would risk their lives entering buildings to set the charges.”

Why do they pull that part of the documentary out of the conspiracy story? This is yet another example of outright deception by the so called “truth” movement and it’s leaders like Alex Jones. They draw their stories around the truth like a child drawing around their hand.

Stay where you are, Dougger. Don’t try to run…

Kudos to Mike and Buzz for tolerance, humor, and willingness to engage without insult.

Livermoron - you are mean spirited. That is exactly the stereotype that the “progressives” hang on all of us because of people like you.

It is far easier to sell a coup as a revolution by paying off the citizenry.

“This government is taking pretty good care of us, no terrorist attacks here since 9-11, booming economy, lots of pork coming my way, so why not keep it?”

“New congress same as the old congress; Democracy has failed with these last elections; The New Bush Socialism will take care of us.”

Bush doesn’t have to take power, the nation is ready to give it to him.
As planned.

The above statements are for the purposes of humor and are not to be construed as anything other than sophmoric and juvenile. [ ha ha! my tinfoil hat has defeated your black-helicopter beamed control waves, you secret-martial law loving, Bu$hCo Halliburton led Army-of-the-undead!!][hey, you can read my thoughts!!! Nooooooooo! Tinfoil…..hat…..defeated…..must….escape……………………………………………………………..]

Because the voices in your head told you to? Just a guess.

(It’s probably your neighbors beaming microwaves at you. Tinfoil, dude, tinfoil!)
