Wonkette
PBS stations need tons of money these days, what with the present economic hardships and all, so Colorado’s KBDI affiliate rented out a long segment of its annual pledge drive to some 9/11 Truth group talkin’ ’bout “AMERICA: Freedom to Fascism.” The KBDI lady looks very uncomfortable! And later, on KBDI’s website, a “coincidental notice” appeared: “Digital Update: KBDI’s analog broadcast has been discontinued due to antenna damage. You can view the KBDI digital signal at low power now on frequency 38.” BLAME LIKUD. [Slog]
Yeah Earl, cause engineering investigations done by non engineer amateurs always works out.
To be fair, they needed an alternative to the Celtic Women concert infomercial that they run 24/7. Channel 12 is a really crappy station.
Can you make your pledge in Ameros?
Did thestranger.com just get Wonkdotted? Anyway skip everything up to 5:30, where you get to see the comically unprepared truther react to an actual critical question asked by the presenter.
Earl, you’re a fucktard.
How’d you like to be the host of that crap? She has the look on her face that says: “I slept with the producer for this?”
@Yes You Can Own A Piece of History: Maybe the Celtic Women were behind 9-11?
How much to pledge for the announcer? Bet that would raise some money.
This and that “Cutie” Miami priest and his girlfriend “Buni” is too much for one day. Truly funny stuff. It makes the Onion News seem lame and serious by comparison.
Gee, could they find anyone a little more dynamic to be their spokesman? What, was Ben Stein not available?
Ironically, the 9/11 Truthers believe that KBDI’s digital antenna failed because it was struck by a hijacked commercial airplane.
DUH, JUST WATCH THE YOUTUBE OF THE WAY THE TWIN TOWERS FELL!!!!
I remember Gore Vidal saying something similar to what this guy says at the end regarding stand-down orders. It’s not hard to imagine, until you realize that leaks happen every week from the government, and this information would have been leaked from somebody involved who didn’t appreciate being made complicit in mass murder. Then, Bush and Cheney would have had to die, and the Republican Party would be finished forever. Really, I would have more respect for Bush and Cheney if they’d had the balls to do this, instead of just being opportunistic about tragedy.
But the twin towers falling in a controlled demolition would be even infinitely harder to cover up, and anyone who thinks this way is crazy.
ManchuCandidate: Hey! You don’t know if the World Trade Center was made out of chicken wire and cinder blocks! You just don’t know! And of all the people who called in sick, 7% were JOOOOZ! It’s no coincidence that this is the same percentage of JOOOOOOOZ in New York City, but that’s how they WANT IT TO LOOK! Not to mention that then state senator Barack Obama FedEx’ed his birth certificate to Building Seven JUST ONE DAY before the attacks. AND the fact that Ron Paul was in Bay City, TX on 9/11. Normally this would not be shocking, but he was at a fundraiser on “TRADE ST.” when it happened? Coincidence? I think not. Also, the attacks occurred approximately five years, 27 days, and 6 hours after the Pentavirate had met in their secret country mansion known only as “The Meadows.” This timespan in itself means nothing, BUT, BUT, it was the VERY SAME span of time between Hitler’s last visit to Fucking, Austria, and his approximately time of death.
So don’t discount the people questioning your precious engineers, Sonny Jim!
Thank God they didn’t run ads for male enhancement products and Coors Lite.
This reminds of the good old days of Sasquatch Truthers on access TV. Then the Yeti “truthers” ruined everything.
“And if you give a donation of 300 dollars, we’ll tell you the fate of Flight 93.”
Texan Bulldoggette: Nahh, he’s busy hawking eyedrops and “intelligent design.”
lizard scum: DUH, JUST WATCH THE YOUTUBE OF THE WAY THE TWIN TOWERS FELL!!!!
Watch the version where they speed up the footage and play “Yakity Sax.” I dare you to watch it and not laugh.

The Founding Fathers were an inside job!!!!!!!
It was those fucking schoolchildren on the flight that hit the Pentagon, from which they shot a missile smuggled aboard in their book bags. When they ever find those kids, trust me there will be hell to pay.
If that was an ad for Masterpiece Theatre, then where’s the bit about the randy country girl who goes to London in search of truth and sex.
I don’t know…PBS strives to let all voices be heard–they let the liberal nuts babble on about spirituality and self help on California PBS. And how much money does a half hour of rambling conspiracy theorism really bring in? Colorado isn’t like Texas is it?
I’ve had antenna damage before. It hurts like hell.
NoWireHangers: Uhhh, better skiing, but outside of Denver and Boulder, plenty of red staters.
“You can’t fool me, I listen to public radio!” — Squidward Tentacles
FunkyPalmettoBug: I knew they were IRA sleepers. Up the Provos!
You should’ve seen the group that bought the time after that guy… something about how to fuck on a yoga ball while smoking salvia.
So, we live in a world where America tortures, Arnold Schwarzenegger is Governor of California, and PBS is showing far right propaganda.
We are through the looking glass people.
Announcer: “Join us next hour when we talk to Alan Johnson, a homeless man who believes that Adolph Hitler escaped –”
Johnson: “Shicklegruber! The one-testicled half-Jew homosexual!”
Announcer: “Uh, right. Escaped Nazi Germany in a u-boat and is now living with Johnson’s mother in Coral Gables, Florida.”
Their web site offers tickets to ‘Yanni Voices’ and a John Denver tribute. That is terrorism, plain and simple.
Obama’s Islamo-space-alien- saboteurs done it.
With the Denver antenna down, this means that the great wilderness comprising Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma is without a PBS signal. Anyone there notice yet?
That woman must have got her hair styled with a weed whacker.
Scrodd: You win. I laughed really really hard.

mrsixinch:
Boulder’s pretty much the only pure blue city, Like Austin is to TX. The big difference is that the rest of the state is fairly well mixed.
A good rule of thumb is if you start in the east and move west, you will see a steady increase in TEH LIBTARDZ
Girl: I especially want to thank Fran, the paranoid schizophrenic urine swilling sociapathic producer of this segment, for finding the biggest barrel in the world and scraping the very bottom of it to come up with our next guest.
Earl: Thank you, m’ame.
The Truthers are kind of like their generation’s “don’t trust anyone over 30.” Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t at least question the gubmint’s role in 911. It’s a guaranteed generation-splitter, sows doubt in Truthers’ minds about anyone who doesn’t believe and guarantees that non-believers will think you’re crazy (and possibly dangerous.) Now if they could only have chosen a belief not so easily debunked.
FunkyPalmettoBug: No, Roy Orbison planned it on his Black and White Night (which is what plays on public TV in my town 24/7).
mrsixinch: Colorado Springs has that special mix of military and Focus on the Family nuts that make it so interesting. It’s why I rarely leave Denver.
I’m pretty sure Nancy Reagan’s psychic knew something about 911…….ever since then the repube’s heirarchy has been trying to find Ronnie’s incarnate….Fred Thompson, Chuck Norris, Jon Voight…is Chuck Heston too old for the job?
If I sponsor them will they air a special feature for me? I’ve got documentation that proves my wife is the devil.
I was in lower Manhattan on September 11th and there’s something very very VERY offensive to me about 9/11 “truthers”. They’re almost as bad as holocaust deniers in my view.
Scrodd’s Yakkety Sax video, on the other hand, is hilarious.
Hey, these guys are lamers, but a lot of freepers believe Cheney was behind 9/11. There’s no way that’s not plausible. Srsly!
Damn. I’d better write my PBS affiliate a check, before they rent out some local telethon time to the “Elvis is still alive!” constituency.
Min: That’s peanuts…when the Anti-Flouridation crowd get a foot in the door, that’s when things go all Chinua Achebe.
is Chuck Heston too old for the job?
Maybe not, but the commute might be a problem - what with him being buried and shit.
Had to do it. Dead you know.
JEWS DID KBDI
Joshua Norton: oops, my bad….I really liked Chuck…I can’t let Airport kill what he did with Soylent Green
Godot: I’m in the same boat. In fact, I was (kinda) chastised for telling a “truther” on here to go fuck himself after he spouted his controlled demolition bullshit in two threads. Sigh.
Lets compile some of the 9-11 bat-shittery here for teh lulz, shall we?
These are actual theories being bandied about by the basement dwelling mouth-breathers:
1. Controlled demolition. (For those tough jobs where 2 fuel-laden Boeings just aren’t enough!)
2. Missile(!) being shot from plane a nanosecond before striking WTC tower 2.
3. Empty and remotely-controlled planes strike WTC towers. (Passengers shuttled away to unknown location.)
4. Cruise missile strikes Pentagon.
5. F-16 strikes Pentagon.
6. Flight 93 shot down by military. (Maybe so, WHO KNOWS?!)
7. Silverstein the Jew-bag wanted insurance moneys, so he made it happen.
8. Mossad did it!
9. CIA and NSA allowed it to happen as pretext to war. (As if we couldn’t just bullshit a reason ala WMD.)
10. Face of the devil appearing in WTC smoke indicates SATAN did it!
Sadly, a lot of these are mutually exclusive.
WadISay: Those are next season’s sponsors of Home Time.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: KPFA/Pacifica has also played host fellow truther fruitcakes. WTF happened to Benny Hill marathons?
Mull_Man: I can see Pacifica doing it. They’re supposed to air everything nobody else will, short of Alex Jones-style wingnuttery.
But I prefer they run Alan Watts marathons. That’s more my type of wingnuttery.
Goodbye, Earl, as the poor Dixie Chicks used to sing.
For our pledge drives, we get lots of Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is some new age self-help shaman. Also some flamenco guitarist named Penise. But people who are into that petit-middlebrow schlock might have some jack they can spare for the PBS channel. Truthers, I’m thinking, not so much.
If I sponsor them will they let me read Wonkette out loud? My backdrop will be the sign that says, “Get a BRAIN! Morans.”
toooldtocare: Joshua Norton: Well, to be fair, Chuck Heston is about as mentally sharp now as Raygun was when he took office. And he will always be a better actor.
The Danish did find nano-thermite in the WTC dust. Thats all i will say about that.
too much?
sati demise: You’re kidding, right?
The samples that the scientist used were given to him by a resident *six years* after the attacks. Do you think they were kept in a sterile environment during that time?
In fact, his own report states: “The resulting spectrum, shown in Fig. (14), produced the expected peaks for Fe, Si, Al, O, and C. Other peaks included calcium, sul-fur, zinc, chromium and potassium. The occurrence of these elements could be attributed to surface contamination….”
Nice to know that the results of the test “could be attributed to surface contamination,” eh?
Not to mention the fact that the report never states what they found was thermite, or nano-thermite, instead, it states:
“These observations reminded us of nano-thermite fabricated at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and elsewhere.”
REMINDED US OF NANO-THERMITE ≠ NANO-THERMITE
But please, don’t let basic critical thinking and reading skills cloud your reality. It’s much more exciting to blame to the Illuminati.
I suggest everyone here read “Debunking 9/11 Debunking of the Debunking” by the Mormon guy, what’s his ass… Fetzer something, and the other guy (James Earl Ray Griffin).
Alex Jones will sell you a copy for a few bucks if you get INFOPLANET tattooed on your forehead and sacrifice your future sex life to the Passion of the Paultards.
Anyone with a brain knows that Sasquatch was launched into the towers by the Illuminati, fed a steady diet of beans so he would fart out a Transformers Thermos, which exploded, causing Area 51’s invisible army to drop Phony Peak Oil lasers on Building 7.
What part of “What about Building 7?!?!?!” do you people not understand.
President Obama is a closet 9/11 Truther.
Loose Change
Change We Can Believe In
You don’t have to be a Bilderberg Mason at the Bohemian Grove to read through the lines.
Fox n Fiends: True dat yo.
Democrat softies, also known as Creampies, are also an “inside job.”
But that is another story altogether,
Of the three major attacks, in the US, the UK and Spain- Spain was the only one not running a ‘drill’ the same day of the attack.
The Spaniards are clean at least, haha.
Kablooey!
The Federal Reserve & AIPAC?
The truth is so overrated!
The truth is so yesterday!
Maxwell jump ~
Trolls galore doin’ the 911 dance:
Shala la la la
A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America
Shala la la la
365 days of Falsers but when they want some bucks they devote 1 day to Truthers.
Given that everything else produced by the Bush Admin was self serving lies to justify mass murder, that the 9-11 report was based on incortoverible evidence and arrived at the truth makes me blah blah blah to be an American.
BTW, it’s not serious until they show the Troof behind the Federal Reserve type documentaries hosted by the Libertarian party, and a 1 oz gold donation gets you an invite to “An evening with Ron Paul”.
