Alexander Cockburn: "Leftgatekeeping for Dummies"

[reprehensor]

Have you ever wanted to write a 9/11 hit piece, but you just weren't quite sure HOW? Well, put that lack of confidence in the DUSTBIN, because with this handy list of catch-phrases, YOU TOO can can keep your head firmly tucked up your rectum, and STILL smear people that have VALID 9/11 questions for fun and profit!

"You trip over one fundamental idiocy of the 9/11 conspiracy nuts in the first paragraph of the book by one of their high priests, David Ray Griffin ... One central characteristic of the nuts is that they have a devout, albeit preposterous, belief in American efficiency, and hence many of them start with the racist premise that "Arabs in caves" weren't capable of the mission ... My in-box overflows each day with fresh "proofs" of how the towers were demolished. I meet people who start quietly, asking me what I think about 9/11. What they are actually trying to find out is whether I'm part of the coven ... It's the same pattern with the 9/11 nuts. There are photos of the impact of the "object" that hit the Pentagon ... People inside who survived the collapse didn't hear a series of explosions ... Instead, the conspiracy nuts have combined to produce a ludicrous distraction." - Alex Cockburn, "The 9/11 Conspiracy Nuts" - The Nation, 9/7/206.

Wow! Thanks, Alex! Drop Noam a line, would you? He's still using Smear 1.5" - - time to upgrade to the new template.



(DISCLAIMER: There is no "Leftgatekeeping for Dummies" book. That is satire! Ho-ho!)

1. On how many forums are you on?

I think some links are missing and the money is probably to low

4. Wow! William Casey (the dead one?) is controlling 'The Nation'.

Or is it the other way around? There's no arrow on that part of the diagram.

2. Well there ought to be a book, some of the gatekeeping I've been

observing lately isn't up to par.

The 9/11 truth movement hasn't gone away yet and it's bothering some folks.

3. El Ron's cult even gets favorable PR on "Counterpunch"

Most of the articles on CP aren't disinformation for Cockburn's "sponsors" at the FORD Foundation, but ALL of the 9/11 and Scientology articles are about as objective as Popular Mechanics or the OCTers here at DU.

5. Hypocritical...

ah yes because objectivity is show throughout the Ct 9/11 Truth movement. I vote your statement as one of the most "Hypocritical" statements of the year.

Cool posters by the way. I like them actually.
