"On this upcoming September 11th, I am putting together a group of people to go down to Ground Zero and hand out pamphlets titled "The Truth About 9/11". Inside the pamphlet will be the actual truth about 9/11 (19 Muslim men flew planes into our buildings, etc.)." More background here.Please come if you can. Countering the Truthers is a great way to honor those who died that day.This Tuesday, 9/11, at 5pm, we will meet at Liberty Park on the corner of Liberty Broadway. I will have materials for hand out. Please join us. Let me know, in the comment section or via email, if you will be attending.
Thanks to Karol for arranging the counter-protest.
Update: For Kevin McCullough listeners joining is here at the blog or at Ground Zero tomorrow, here's a bit of a Truther primer.
Here's a column I wrote last year: "Beware the Truthers. Don't Ignore Them."
Avery and his cohorts’ research, theories, and “evidence” are so laughable that it can be easy to laugh off the movement itself. That was my reaction to this crowd until I took the time to watch “Screw Loose Change,” this weekend. “Screw Loose Change” is an extensive, three-hour-long debunking of Avery’s claims, which allows you to view Avery’s film along with a powerful presentation of all the evidence he distorts and omits.
Until I watched it and really let the Avery crowd’s accusations sink in, my reaction to the 9/11 Truthers was to say, “wow, they’re crazy. Moving on.” But I shouldn’t have moved on. I should have stopped and looked at the Truthers and listened to them a lot sooner.
It’s important for those of us who know what took the lives of 3,000 Americans five years ago today—four commercial planes with full loads of jet fuel and passengers driven by 19 murderous maniacs—to understand that there is a disturbingly large and vocal segment of the American population that doesn’t believe that.
Here's the Popular Mechanics page on "Debunking 9/11 Myths."
Allah at Hot Air also does a fabulous job of tracking Truther garbage. Here's the link to a compilation of his posts on the subject.
The latest? 42 percent of Democrats think Bush either caused 9/11 or let it happen, according to a Zogby poll.
Come out and fight Trutherism with us.
