Defend! (or divert the argument with name-calling and finger-pointing)

Umm...what argument? =\

1st) Not all, but a vast majority of the well-known Republican pundits are indeed A-holes. I think A-hole is actually a rather un-fulfilling term for those such as Glenn Beck, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, et al. On this count, I believe Van Jones should have been given a reward for finally speaking up against the conservative BS. Republicans regularly throw mud, they make a pasttime of being the pissy sore loser and whine and play victim, even during the years they were in total control of the houses and the presidency. Here's someone finally stepping up and saying "By the way, you guys are actually totally fuckwads". I'm ok with this.

2nd) What's wrong with the truther movement? I won't argue if you bring up examples from the serious nutcases that are about some reptilian overlord or some BS, but if you want to discuss what actually hit the Pentagon (look up the amazing pentalawn video) or the clean collapse of world trade center towers 1 & 2, and even more misteriously Tower 7, only a very short time after the owner of the world trade center was denied an extreme insurance policy he was trying to take out, well, please, fill me in on these events. I'm a truther. I'm a truther in the respect that I don't believe that the actual truth has come out. What hit the pentagon was NOT a passenger plane. Tower 7 is the only steel-girdered structure in the entire history of mankind to have to be demolished because it caught fire. Look up what was housed in tower 7 and it gets even more mysterious. Towers 1 & 2 fell because the jet fuel caused the structural steel to collapse? Jet fuel can't attain the melting point requirement for that steel. Now I know I'm not some whizzbang genius like Glenn Beck, but I'm pretty sure if the oven doesn't get hot enough to bake a pie, I'm not going to be enjoying warm apple pie.
In relevency, Van Jones being part of a movement that was concerned with freedom of information is something that I believe to be a good thing for a public official. 9/11 truth to most means just finding out the whole story. It's not finding out that aliens were responsible like a few nutjobs say, it's just "hey, this aint true, that story is BS, what's the real truth? " For Van Jones to have been part of that movement doesn't bug me. Especially considering he's the F-in green czar, not the war secretary or something.


And muff, I'm ashamed, still

Regardless of who may or may not be an A--hole, he should have kept his counsel to himself. He was a drag on the administration team and now he's gone. Hopefully, he'll be replaced with someone more attuned to politics. You don't get anything done in government by calling the opposition names.
