So Charlie Sheen recently penned a fictitious conversation between himself and President Obama – one in which he questions our Commander-in-chief on the big 9/11 cover up. Yes, the star of Scary Movie 3 – and Scary Movie 4 – believes that the Bush/Cheney regime were behind the attack, and feels that our current President should investigate immediately, in an effort to answer a “bottomless warren of unanswered questions surrounding that day…”
Now, never mind how insulting this is to anyone personally affected by the tragedy – or who saw it firsthand. Sheen is just awesome for illustrating the three key components to being a conspiracy theorist/loser:
- The egomania. In this “open letter,” Sheen actually uses Obama’s made up words to compliment himself. Yes, the President admits to enjoying “Two and a Half Men,” writes Charlie. And here I thought Martin was the delusional one in the family.

- The mental masturbation. When it comes to truther obsession, the questioning will always be – as Sheen confesses – “bottomless.” See, that`s the joy of conspiracy – it`s like an endless bag of Doritos, except instead of chips you get comebacks like “that`s what they want you to think,” and “open your eyes dude.” It`s so funny how people like Sheen can dismiss all beliefs but their own. Maybe it’s not that funny.
- The inherent contradiction found in accusations of a cover-up. Sheen claims that “9/11 has been the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our constitution and Bill of Rights”. He says this without realizing that since 9/11, not a single person has stopped him from babbling this nonsense. By spewing relentlessly about crap, he`s done more than anyone to prove there is no cover-up! Christ, I wish the government would silence him, or at least get him a haircut better suited for a middle-aged man.
But look, I love Sheen simply being Sheen. He is a man unencumbered by self-awareness. Think about it: The world’s most famous clueless druggie, gambling-addicted whore-banger thinks he’s uncovered a conspiracy – and we should all believe him.
How cute is that?

Ratings falling Charlie?
September 11, 2009 - 11:53 ET by BKeyserRatings falling Charlie? Short on dates lately? I hear Janeane Garafalo is looking for someone to hang out with.
I think a new poll should be commissioned, given to all Truthers:
One question, yes or no answer. Are you currently, or have you ever been addicted to mind-altering substances? My guess is there will be a majority of "yes" answers (followed by incessant giggling). Margin of error, +-0.0.

One thing I will say I miss, "Greg Draws The News", Greg would draw something up, & the viewers were encouraged to send in a title for the drawing. I tried more then a few times, came up empty. Oh well...

Remember that commercial
September 11, 2009 - 12:05 ET by deerjerkydaveRemember that commercial with the egg, "this is your brain on drugs?"
This is Charlie Sheen after years of hard drugs, mixed in with a heavy dose of Hollywood liberalism. They try so hard to find a way to blame America instead of terrorist Muslims. This type of thinking just is not the result of a healthy mind.
How true...
September 11, 2009 - 14:48 ET by boomerconThe way they act, you'd think the middle east was a hotbed of rabid cinema fans who flock to the theater 3-5 times per day to bow down and worship the ignorant images represented on the silver screen.
Maybe...just maybe, Charlie thinks that's what they're doing...all kneeling in a row, shoes off, little nap time rugs laid out...yeah, that's it. They're your FANS!

September 11, 2009 - 12:06 ET by Airforce_5_OMany an Hour has been dedicated to the proof that truthers are full of crap. So many of the theories have been debunked and shown to be false. Still there are those who spout this dung from coast to coast.
The events of 9/11/01 were the result of Muslims extremist attacking innocent and defenseless people.
So shut Charlie and go back to something your okay at. Comedy.

September 11, 2009 - 12:07 ET by okiehawk44On the way to work this morning, I listened to some wacko on the radio touting his new book about the vast conspiracy and how Cheney was in charge of pulling off all our fighters to Iceland for war games and on and on. He obviously saw no delineation between before 9/11 and after and often confused information regarding the before and the after.
If these folks really believed all their conspiracy talk, they could no longer live in America or leave the confines of their mother's basement.
BTW. How did Charlie escape?
Charlie's escape
September 11, 2009 - 12:21 ET by BuzzyCharlie had no mother's basement to escape from. Someone told his dad to go F himself, which he did, and produced Charlie, the first a$$hole baby.

September 11, 2009 - 14:54 ET by stratmanGood catch.
From his IMDB page, Charlie plays Charlie in:
An example of Hollywood using the KISS principle?
I am little bothered by Charlie's kooky talk. Unless you lent him money, had sex with him or he is attempting to have sex with someone you care about, or he's driving while under the influence of who knows what, do his personal opinions matter?
Does anyone take this guy seriously? Anyone?
Like I said in a previous thread on good time Charlie, I'd have a beer with him but I wouldn't drink from his beer.

September 11, 2009 - 16:36 ET by danybhoyCharlie Sheen was funny as Ricky Vaughn in "Major League". Which also featured major league tax cheat Wesley Snipes as Willie May Hayes. Very funny movie.

September 11, 2009 - 22:17 ET by stratmanMajor League was major fun. (Bad pun)
About a fictional Cleveland Indians team filmed in a fictional Cleveland ballpark. Sheesh!
They could have used actual crappy Cleveland players back then except for the fact that the fictional team improves and becomes contenders in one season. Only in Hollywood!
I say this as a Tribe fan, and only a Tribe fan, since birth.

September 12, 2009 - 05:40 ET by danybhoyAnother funny fact is that it was'nt filmed in Cleveland. They filmed much of it in Milwaukee's County Stadium, it was a great place to watch an event. It was a great place to tailgate as well, so many people grilling brats, burgers, dogs, & drinking beer, or in my case pop(I'm alergic to beer). It is a beautiful thing. That was back when I cared about Major League Baseball, but that's another story for another time.

These conspiracy twits and their
September 11, 2009 - 12:42 ET by WhoIsJohnGaltclose cousins, the "logic never lands on MY head" crowd are like small children when faced with a rational argument to which they are either lost, completely missed the point, or have no clue how to respond. They just say, "yeah...but still...". As if the mere utterence of that ONE word, "still", magically negates any coherent argument or irrefutable proof which may have been presented.
But there WAS a conspiracy . . . I swear!
September 11, 2009 - 12:42 ET by GalvanicI believe that, in sort of a Vonnegut-esque kind of way, a group of folks, including Charlie Sheen, Jeanene Garofalo, and Cynthia McKinney, conspired with al Qaeda to execute the 9-11 Attacks so that celebrities -- their drug-damaged, paranoid minds sensing threats about everywhere -- could continue to concoct Bush-Cheney conspiracy theories in order to rationalize their paranoia.
Sheen was born too late to participate in the Hollywood Ten, so he's created his own fantasy world in which he's being persecuted -- a world in which the absence of any evidence of a govenment conspiracy is merely further evidence that such a conspiracy existed.

Satire is the best way to deal with these people
September 11, 2009 - 13:19 ET by ironchefofmunchiesFrom the best episode of South Park ever:
Mr. Hardly:
That all the 9/11 conspiracy Web sites are run by the government. The 9/11
conspiracy... is a government conspiracy.
Stan:
Aw Jesus...
Kyle:
Why would the government want people to believe they caused 9/11?
Mr. Hardly:
For a government to have power, they must appear to have complete control.
What better way to make people fear them than to convince them they are capable
of the most elaborate plan on earth?
Bush:
[off-screen] That's quite enough, Hardly! [the camera shows him
entering with his staff] Don't believe what he says, boys; we caused 9/11.
[brings forth a manila folder] It's all right here in these secret
documents, [hugs the folder tight] but you'll never get them.
[turns around as he yawns, dropping the folder to the floor behind him. No
one picks them up]
Kyle:
I knew it! You didn't plan 9/11 and you really didn't shoot that
guy!
Bush:
Boys, you don't understand. People need to think we are all-powerful. That
we control the world. If they know we weren't in charge of 9/11 then... we
appear to control nothing.
Kyle:
Well why don't you just tell people the truth?!
Bush:
We do that too. And most people believe the truth. But one fourth of the
population is retarded. If they wanna believe we control everything with
intricate plans, why not let them?
Mr. Hardly:
Just one thing, Mr. President: How the devil did you know we were all here?
[a close-up of Kyle. A gun appears next to his left temple. The camera moves
clockwise as it refocuses on Stan, who's got the gun aimed at Kyle. Staan must
have told the President]
Stan:
How come you couldn't just go home, dude? That's all we had to do!
Kyle:
Stan! What the f*ck?!
Stan:
It was all planned out!
Kyle:
You knew this whole time? Why?
Stan:
Because it was me. I'm the one who took a dump in the urinal.
Kyle:
[backs away a bit] What??
Stan:
The stalls were full and I didn't wanna miss recess! I didn't think it would
turn into such a big deal!
Kyle:
So you blamed the government?!
Mr. Hardly:
And the government was more than willing to take the blame, so long as it
made them look responsible for 9/11!
Stan:
[lowers his pistol] Oh man, now everyone's gonna know. Why did the
stupid Hardly Boys have to be so good at solving mysteries?
Kyle:
So wait, wait: Stan took a dump in the urinal and he contacted the
conspiracy Web site? But the conspiracy site was run by the government?
Stan:
Yuh.
Kyle:
So then, who was responsible for 9/11?
Stan:
Whattaya mean? A bunch of pissed-off Muslims.
Frank:
[giggles] Yeah. What are you, retarded? [The President and his
staff laugh heartily]
Bravo, Greg, BRAVO!
September 11, 2009 - 13:18 ET by PrairieSkyI love this! Greg Gutfeld has hit the nail on the head here. Charlie Sheen, maybe as a result of all of his years of drinking and drugging, or maybe just because he's a pathetic, moronic horse's ass, is so beneath contempt as an American, let alone a human being, is barely worth commenting on. That said, Sheen's latest foray into deluded paranoia requires a response, and Greg's article addresses Sheen perfectly.
Reasonable Americans dismissed Sheen and his insane rantings long ago...What I'd like to see, though I seriously doubt I will, is for the Hollywood community to shun him and his ludicrous beliefs. Stop casting him in projects...Stop producing his movies. Lunatics like him need to be sent the message that his type of deranged and irresponsible proclamations won't be tolerated or listened to any longer and there is no audience for their demented ravings.

September 11, 2009 - 13:22 ET by rammingspeedIt breaks my heart whenever a well-known but disinformed person opens their yap and pukes their chunks. Charlie: Shut up and act. I know you're emboldened by getting a 3 year extension on your TV show - so if people stop watching, so what? - but you damage your reputation beyond your ability to comprehend. Maybe you've done too much damage to your organs through your dissolute lifestyle. Whatever, you alienate yourself even from fellow liberals by being a Truther.

September 11, 2009 - 21:06 ET by RR GOPI've considered the 9-11 'hoax' or 'truth' thing or whatever they call it...for about 5 seconds.
Those towers were just right for this kind of attack. Hitting the Empire State or Chrysler buildings or Sears Tower would not have resulted in one floor collapsing upon another. The superstructure of the towers were on the outside with the floors suspended from the exostructure. An ingenious design to be sure.
Had to be in order to achieve their great open volume within and their height given their total size in order to decrease the weight.

If You Ask Me, It's More Of A Symptom Of Mental Stress...
September 11, 2009 - 22:54 ET by The7SticksI don't really look at 9/11 turthers in such a loathsome light, but rather pity because I realize what most of them are: mentally distressed. I've gone to group therapy ever since I was seventeen (no, it wasn't for 9/11 Truth Disorder, it was unrelated that's too complicated to explain right now), and in one session, one of my groupmates talked about how 9/11 was an inside job and that he watched movies like Loose Change and such to prove it. I didn't yell at or ridicule him because I realized that he was schizophrenic and came to this group for treatment of his schizophrenia. I just raised my hand and asked him "How did you come to this conclusion?" He explained the sort of myths that have been made like an improvised explosion inTower seven and whatnot, and I explained to him "I'm sorry, but your just wrong about it." I explained how, like in the game Jenga, if you remove a structural support that holds together the building, it collapse on itself. The hijacked airplane striking the towers was like a finger pulling out the block in a Jenga tower that keeps it up. That's as simple as it can be. I told him it happened and that over 3,000 innocent souls died in one of the most horrific ways. I ended with that it was NOT an illusion.
Some times, you have to talk sternly to these people, but keep it gentle because, for the most part, these people are sick in the head and need mental therapy to cure them of their disease.
