9/11 denialist on "Hannity and Colmes"

This guy is thick. Accusing Fox, on the air, of spouting venim to the world.

What a **ick.
 
He thinks the attacks in Madrid, London, Bali and all the suicide bombings in Iraq are all false flags too. What a surprise! (Not)

I cant say I disagree with that. Fox News is the worst cable news network in America.

Hannity ripped that guy a new one. Im one his side for once.
 
Hannity has a tendency to bring lightweights on his show to make himself look good. During the Cal governor recall, he had Gary Coleman on, and proceeded to hit him with all these big political issues (Coleman was on the ballot).

Of course, no one legitimate took Gary Coleman seriously in the first place and wouldn't waste their time. But Hannity really showed him! Great, Sean, you are so clever. Be sure to put it on your resume ("More politically savvy than Gary Coleman")

He's like the 6th grader who likes to prove how tough he is by beating up 3rd graders. But when the 8th graders show up...

FOX news is bad for one reason, its known to be verry biased from a conservative viewpoint... which makes networks like NBC seem more credible to the general public

peoples distrust for FOX may lead to them believing something false reported by a rival network
 
Here's a link to the Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hIe8YUw300

The guy is U. of Wisconsin instructor Kevin Barrett. He converted to Islam in 1992. Here are some choice quotes from that clip. I've bolded a couple of interesting words.

1:05 I am convinced that 9/11 was, in fact, an inside job...I'm interested in training people how to use critical thinking skills to look at the evidence in any area and come to their own conclusions.

2:10 In the classroom I always present things in a fair and balanced manner. Outside of the classroom, when I'm an activist or a satirist, I'll tell it like it is.

2:45 I do know--I don't believe--that 9/11 was an inside job.

3:44 It's a question of science...You think it was 19 guys with boxcutters led by a guy on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan? That's ridiculous. That's the craziest conspiracy theory of all of them.

To revise an old saying, a nut can use the words "critical thinking" and "science" for his own purposes.

Jim Fetzer TEACHES critical thinking. :jaw-dropp
 
This guy's creepy. Way more lucid than Fetzer or the Loose Changers.

And Hannity doesn't bother to ask him for evidence, or challenge him on anything. He just sits there and lamely insults him! Pathetic.

There was the residue of thermite- I'm not a 9/11 conspiracy buff, could someone who knows more than I do let me know how that's debunked, or whether the finding was questionable in the first place?
 
The "thermite residue" conclusion is just based on the presence of sulphur in the steel. It's suspect because there wasn't the corresponding aluminum oxide or pure iron you'd expect to accompany the sulfur, and the sulphur is much more easily explained by the huge amount of gypsum sheetrock in the towers.

At least that's what I've heard.
 
Not to mention thermite is a really dumb way of demolishing a building...

Especially a building as big as the WTC. I would think that would take a hell of a lot of thermite.

Also, there are no explosions with thermite. So someone rambling about squibs and loud booms that day can't also ramble about thermite.

Isn't failure of internal logic a beautiful thing?

I think the same person was discussed on O'Relilly last night as well.

Minor derail as to Fox News Bashing: All news outlets are staffed by humans and are therefore biased. As the news consumer you have to make up your own mind. The news outlets are there to sell advertising not deliver same sacred unbiased truth.

Of course you as the viewer are human and therefore also biased in your interpratation of what is presented.

Just to add to the explanations already given, only 3% of thermate is composed of sulphur (with none in thermite). And, contrary to assertions, the sulphur is not an enhancer. There's a barium compund (barium nitrate, IIRC) that's the actual enhancer, and makes up about 20 to 30% of thermate. You'd also expect to see residue from this.
 
Unfortunately, none of the students who attend this class will be presented with the overwhelming evidence which completely debunks 9/11 conspiracy theories.

But Barrett promised to give them both sides of the story.

I can't for the life of me understand why you don't believe him ;)
