Incorrect. In fact, you're helping me prove my point since, as I predicted, you would not state a percentage. (And if you had, you would not produce any evidence for your claim.) You babble about a "high" percentage, but can't tell us how high that is.
BTW, since "more or less than half of you liars are Jew-haters" is identically the set of {
any percentage such that "you liars are Jew-haters"} - {
exactly 50% such that "you liars are Jew-haters"}, that means that you have no idea how many "liars" are "Jew-haters", except that it's not exactly 50%. (And, of course, you really don't know whether or not it's exactly 50%, either.)
Which
is my point. Your 'arguments' below
taken literally, proves nothing to me about the 911 Truth movement, as a whole. We've all gotten emails from some dudes claiming that they have a can't lose business proposition in Nigeria, but only require X dollars to realize their riches. Just what are we supposed to conclude from such emails - that all Nigerians are charlatans? That a "high percentage" of Nigerians are charlatans? Or that any percentage ( except possibly 50%
) could be charlatans?
Tell me, has it ever occurred to you that the person sending such an email might not be a native of Nigeria, at all? This would be analogous to emails being sent by a shill, deliberately smearing Jews, for purposes of disinformation. The ultimate purpose being to allow people like yourself to turn around and smear the 911 Truth Movement.
No, actually, it'd be very difficult to demonstrate. In fact, since the same sort of
real research that could show, quantitatively, that anti-Semitism is rife in the 911 Truth Movement could also show that it is not, asserting this with real confidence is just as hard as asserting it's opposite. Your standards of proof, though, are so flimsy, that if I was willing to similarly adopt some cheesy criteria, it should be relatively easy to determine this.
E.g., I could request that the next newsletter to the membership of the Scholars for 911 Truth and Justice include a questionairre, asking
1) "Are you anti-Semitic?"
and, borrowing from your ludicrous statement earlier
2) "If you believe that the collapse of WTC 7 was via CD, and if you were then informed that Silverstein was not Jewish, would you then reverse your opinion and believe that the WTC 7 collapse was not via CD?"
The results of such a survey* are easy to predict, since even if there
was anti-Semitism above 'normal', most people would not want to admit to it.
However, for the shallow of mind, that might find great significance regarding the character of the Nigerian people based upon the crap in their email box, such considerations are besides the point. The bonanza-in-Nigeria emails keep on a-comin', and what further proof could a "rationalist", indeed, a "triumphant rationalist", require? Apparently, for some "triumphant rationalists", no further proof at all.
I have a much better suggestion. Since you must be getting tired bashing all of us "loons" all the time, why don't you write to the Anti-Defamation League, and ask them to sponsor some real research into the CT community, to see if there is some statistically improbable spike in anti-Semitism? Since somebody taking ADL money would probably be prejudiced to deliver what they thought the ADL wanted, extra care would have to be taken to find honest and reputable researchers.
Of course, since science depends upon independent verification, most scientists would chose to wait as the 911 Truther/Anti-Semitism body of research began to accumulate, until a picture might emerge that one could confidently point to and say "the 911 Truth Community is X% more likely to be anti-Semitic than non-Truthers".
If X > 0, that should make you happy, though if X is also less than 5, say, your joy would be greatly diminished.
Although I'm sure that a "triumphant rationalist" like yourself can't imagine this, if the 911 Truth Community was less likely to be anti-Semitic than non-Truthers, you may have to find yourself another hobby.
Funny, but I don't feel embarrassed, at all. How about you?
* Of course, such a survey lacks a control group. Finding a control group for 2) is probably difficult, but finding a control group for 1) should be relatively easy. I don't think most of the population knows about the collapse of WTC 7.
