Now They Have A Conspiracy Theory Of Their Own

See, it's not just the "right-wing" whackos. Democrats.com is claiming that Flight 93 was shot down, and that Bush and Cheney are lying about it.

It's obvious what really happened - there is a secret Democratic conclave within the Defense Department that shot down Flight 93 in an attempt to embarrass President Bush!

But it may be even worse than that - maybe there's a covert Democratic organization within the FAA and the major airlines that staged the September 11 attacks to discredit the Republicans!

In fact, given some Democrats' predilection for phrases such as "the Taliban wing of the Republican Party," maybe the Taliban itself is a DNC front, created specifically to provide a fresh cliche - "racists," "fascists," and "Nazis" having become trite through hysterical overuse.

No, Occam's Razor forces me to conclude that the entire September 11 episode was the work of one man - Ralph Nader. Think about it - are we supposed to believe that right after the attacks, he just happened to admit he had a secret plan which would have prevented them had he been President? You remember, the cunning "Well, I would have made them lock the cockpit doors" gambit?

Unless, of course, it was Michael Moore, who was suspiciously quick out the gate with his column bemoaning the fact that this was because of the Kyoto Treaty, and the real tragedy was that people who hadn't voted for Bush were killed. It's almost as if he had the answers ready to go before the questions were even asked...

I could go on, but I'm overdue for my Elizabeth Wurzel cocktail.

'The plane was now 60 miles out. "Should we engage?" Cheney was asked.

"Yes," he replied again.'

Assuming '60 miles out' meant from Washington, how did Flight 93 get shot down in southwestern Pennsylvania, nearly 200 air miles from D.C.? The Dems must invoke either planes flying backwards or time travel to make their schedule work.

Criminy, would you just lay off with the bullshit "facts" and "logic" crap? You're either operating from false consciousness, or you're part of the conspiracy.

It doesn't matter what evidence you find or how you array it, conspiracists are incapable of NOT fitting every occurance and suspicion into their edifice. Once you swallow the basic premise, you have to keep adding to it. Nothing happens in a vacuum, coincidences do not exist, and everybody but yourself is reading from the same ubiquitous script.

Why the massive conspiracy always has a blind spot where these courageous seekers of truth live is never explained. You'd think that the ZOG or whomever you finger for the mass murder of three thousand people would have no trouble silencing some crank running a website from his parents' basement, but they always miss getting the conspiracists in their net.
