Up until now I've only encountered the "Truth" here on the internet, but today a real truther walked into my store.

The gentleman was browsing my store and asked about shortwave radios and I showed them where they were. He made a comment about needing to own one if another Republican is elected president.

Then he turned and looked me right in the eye and asked me THE question: "Have you seen Loose Change?"

I was so caught off guard that I stood there speechless until it sank in that I had just been asked about LC.

All I could say was "Loose Change is filled with lies and Dylan Avery is full of crap." Not the most diplomatic way to start off I know, but I was completely unprepared for the situation.

He followed up with the standard "Where's the plane in Pennsylvania?", "The coroner said he didn't see a single drop of blood", "How did an airliner fit through a 16ft hole at the Pentagon?" etc.

He was polite the entire time and even stopped and waited for me to help customers that came in before continuing to preach the truth of LC. I wanted to ask him which version of LC he was getting his info from but I got a big surge of customers and he eventually tired of waiting and left.

Now I'm going to have to study up so I can discuss things properly if he returns.

I would have tried to sell him the special radio that picks up NWO secret messages, it looks exactly like the one for $19.95 but it costs $999.95... ;)
 
I understand your shock. I can recall meeting only one twoofer in my day-to-day life - an uncle who also saw LC and bought into it. That was over a year ago and he hasn't said anything about it since so he might be cured.

This other guy at work took a "just asking questions" approach and seemed embarrassed when I pointed out what rubbish 9/11 twoof is, so I won't count him.

Every single other one I've met has been because I actually went out of my way to find them - GZ in NYC and a couple 11th of the month "rallies" here in Toronto.

Why would he need a radio if another Republican is elected president?

:confused:
 
I would love to meet a CTer in real life.

Debating them on the Internet is one thing. They can more easily derail the discussion and ignore inconvenient questions.

But to debate one face to face?

Fuggedaboutit!

Yes, you need to package up the NWO truth radio special edition. You can make money, do not argue, make money. Sometime you must sacrifice your ideas about 9/11, to make a killing off the truther guy. He will buy anything if he buys LC.

It could be Swing, or Red, or...

That guy is behind the Truther curve. The latest Truther info is it does'nt matter if Obama/Hilary or McCain get elected president, both parties are controlled by the New World Order.

Wal-Mart carries shortwave radios?
