Penn Jilette.... Joining the Land of Wooville?

[Homeland Insurgency]

SOmetimes, and sometimes I do think Penn is guilty of allowing his Libertarian views to color his show. I am convinced that his GW scepticism is based more on his opposition to Government Regulation of any kind rather then a careful examination of this evidence.
A number of skeptics are concerned about the route that "Bull----" has been taking lately.
But I agree to accuse Penn of Trutherism is ridiculous.

Well just like you as far as 9/11 goes Penn doesn't know what happened. Maybe he can now stop pretending like he does by making fun of others. How about you?

 

[boloboffin]

Penn in this regard is a lot like most atheists. We can't say for sure that there is no God...

...but it sure as ain't that One!

We do and we'll continue to make fun of the people who think we don't.

Penn is an idiot!
He makes his money by deceiving people.
His word and a dollar may get you a burger from the value menu.

An idiot who sees 9/11 truth as pure junk! Are you trying to be the next Younger Bears?

Surely you guys have at least Doubts about 911 Cmon?

Man, it is really hard for you to fathom that huh?

Sad.

and BTW, Penn is a smart dude. To say otherwise is shocking.

That's a pretty broad question...

Whilst he is innocent in this case, I cannot understand how Penn is seen as an asset to the skeptic community. As charming as he is, his show -which often scores good on the paranormal- often fails to live up to its declaration of skepticism. The episode on the enviroment is a prime example.

However, it may be that my disagreement with almost every single political position BS takes (Prostitution, Gun rights, Disabled access, take your pick) is clouding my judgement.

[Penn] makes his money by deceiving people.

Are you honestly claiming that magicians can't be trusted because of thier stage acts? Seriously? You understand that magic isn't real, correct? They never claim that thier act is anything but tricks.

A magician is using tricks to fool a willing audience. There is no deceit there. Unless you consider anything that is designed to fool an audience deceit, which would include ventriloquists, special-effects creators, actors (like Alex Jones), and just about anyone and everyone in the entertainment field.

Tweeter is stealing from classic woowoo Randi-bashers who always complain that 'Randi is a magician!!! Magicians sneak and cheat and deceive!!!! Therefore we can't trust Randi!! Wah!' and therefore they are justified (in their own avoidance of the MDC.

Stupid troofers, can't even come up with their own playbook.

Penn obviously has doubts and is willing to show his uncertainty.

Global warming. Although his doubts are doubts about his own doubts.

So you are claiming a magician isn't using tricks to fool his audience?

Also, the bolded part? That is supposed to be two words. But I'm sure you knew that.
