Democrat Congressman Induces Perfect Storm Of Left-Wing Conspiracy Theories
Not only does Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison imply that 9/11 was a government conspiracy aimed at fomenting war in the middle east, he also manages to compare the Bush administration to Hitler while doing it by using the Reichstag fire as a metaphor for the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
On comparing Sept. 11 to the burning of the Reichstag building in Nazi Germany: “It’s almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted. The fact is that I’m not saying [Sept. 11] was a [U.S.] plan, or anything like that because, you know, that’s how they put you in the nut-ball box — dismiss you.”
With this Ellison joins the ranks of more nationally-known Democrats with “truther moments” like John Edwards and John Kerry. Two instances might be isolated events, but three’s a trend.
Here’s a thought for discussion: At the GOP primary debate the Presidential candidates were asked tough questions about their beliefs with regard to evolution. With Democrats apparently taking these “truthers” and their conspiracy theories seriously, maybe some enterprising reporters should go around asking the Democrat Presidential candidates about their feelings with regard to 9/11 conspiracy theories.
I’d sure like to hear their answers and see if they’re capable of answering directly given how anxious the Democrats are to placate this far-left base.
The question could be very simple: Yes or no, was 9/11 a government plot?
Given how influential 9/11 has been in shaping this nation’s policies over the last several years, I think it’s important to get our national leaders on record about whether or not 9/11 was a conspiracy. In fact, I think we should get a movement going. I’d encourage all readers of this blog to contacted their elected leaders and ask them whether or not they feel 9/11 was the act of Islamic extremists or a government plot. It’s obvious the media isn’t going to do it, so maybe it’s time for we citizens to take this matter into our own hands and settle it once and for all.
If you call your legislators, put the results if your call in the comments. Or email them to rob@sayanythingblog.com. I’ll keep a running tally of who has been contacted and who hasn’t here on the blog.
Update: Here’s a call script you can use if you’re not sure how to broach the subject:
In recent months more than one prominent national politician has made comments alluding to the possibility that the 9/11 attacks were the result of some sort of government or corporate conspiracy rather than the acts of Islamic extremists. I am calling to determine whether or not (insert name of Senator or Representative) feels that 9/11 was a conspiracy rather than a terrorist attack.
