I just ran across an amazing opinion poll...

[SDuderstadt]

it appears that fully 80% of the American public believe that JFK was murdered as a result of a conspiracy. The remaining 20% were, of course, actually part of the conspiracy.

[whatchamacallit]

1. Really?

Was the bit about the remaining 20% actually reflected in the poll, or was that some garbage you puked up to feel better about being in the minority? For people who depend on the safety and support of the status quo, I can see how such a poll would make them uncomfortable...

[SDuderstadt]

2. It's a joke, dude...

I should have known it would go over your head.

Have you ever thought about anger management classes?

[whatchamacallit]

3. Not angry at all

I figured it was a bit of pointless, uncreative, Sdude theater...




... oh yeah, fail. :hi:

[SDuderstadt]

4. A joke doesn't "fail"...

simply because it goes over your head, dude. Let me know if I have to explain the punchline to you.

[whatchamacallit]

5. Yes, please explain

It's obvious your magnificent wit is beyond my comprehension.

[SDuderstadt]

6. Dude...

The part about the other 20% being part of the plot is parodying the JFK assassination conspiracy theory "community" and their inability after nearly 50 years to converge on a person or group of people other than Oswald and show how they did it.

I bet you read the "Onion" and that goes over your head , too.

7. How CBS screwed Orville Nix

Funny coincidence that just a few hours after seeing your post here, I came across this article about how CBS went about interviewing Orville Nix.

I don´t believe CBS was part of a conspiracy to twist the words of the witnesses. It´s just interesting that even so, that is what they did. They twisted the statements of Orville Nix.

------------

"When interviewed by CBS about what he witnessed, Nix stated he heard shots coming from the direction of the grassy knoll. They would then say to him “Cut!” each time he answered. Finally, they asked him what the Warren Commission said about the shots. Nix stated, the schoolbook depository building. When they edited the tape for broadcast Nix is saying he heard the shots coming from the schoolbook depository building. His original statement had been cut out! Nix always maintained he heard shots coming from the grassy knoll.

What CBS did here is completely unethical and outrageous. When there was only three networks this type of deception was a piece of cake. CBS producer Bernard Birnbaum, who worked on the documentary, denies any of this happened to Nix. As he said, "We never tried to put any words in anybody's mouth, absolutely not." I believe Birnbaum is a liar. After all, somebody edited the tape, right? If we could see the unedited version the lie would be exposed, thus modifying Nix’s original testimony as to what happened. Nix always maintained he heard shots coming from the knoll. His honesty in this is assured.

(...)

There would be a replay of this in the early 1980’s when Jim Garrison was interviewed for Speak Up America TV program. Executive Producer George Schlatter made sure the tape was edited to have Garrison saying there were “32 shooters” in Dealey Plaza. Originally he had been asked how many people were involved in conspiracy. Garrison answered thirty-two. Supervising producer John Barbour (see his excellent documentary interviewing Jim Garrison HERE.) asked Schlatter why he did this and he replied, “Garrison is a nut.” "

8. Dude...

simple question: did you bother to fact-check this or are you just uncritically buying what this blogger is selling?

[whatchamacallit]

9. Fill in the blank

Anyone who uncritically buys the government account of everything is _________.

[SDuderstadt]

10. Nowhere around here, dude.

Another one of your stupid strawman arguments.

Try sticking to debating the facts. That puts you at a big enough disadvantage as it is.

[whatchamacallit]

11. What facts?

The fact that your "jokes" are drivel?

[zappaman]

13. soooo?

did you bother to fact-check this?

[SDuderstadt]

14. Prove that anyone here...

just uncritically buys the government account.

[whatchamacallit]

15. Easy

What part of the government account of 9/11 do you feel is untrue? Not in error, untrue.

[zappaman]

16. easy

that they "never could have imagined" what went down that day.
they ignored many warnings.
now, your turn.
do you believe passenger planes impacted the WTC, the Pentagon, and a field in PA on 9/11?

[SDuderstadt]

17. I don't believe much of what...

Bush said about our inability to prepare for such an event, nor do I believe the administration reacted with anywhere near the degree of competence Bush like to pretend.

Your strawman argument that anyone here just uncritically buys the government story is one of your dumber allegations, dude. Your either/or argument isn't working.

[whatchamacallit]

18. Uh huh

That's it, you disagree with a few general Bush statements about readiness? Any official theories, evidence, or facts you'd like to dispute?



Didn't think so.

[SDuderstadt]

19. Y'know, dude...

I'm not going to waste time uplaying games with you and your stupid strawman arguments.

Maybe Spooked is available to play pattycake with you.

[zappaman]

20. I answered your question

now, your turn.
do you believe passenger planes impacted the WTC, the Pentagon, and a field in PA on 9/11?

[whatchamacallit]

21. Well

WTC: pretty sure. Pentagon: not so much. PA: plane crashed, but not as advertised.
