Rosie O’Donnell is still spreading 9-11 conspiracy theories on her new Sirius/XM radio show. On Friday, she welcomed Broadway star (and one-season Saturday Night Live cast member) Christine Ebersole. The two entertainers agreed that something was fishy in Washington (just as they did on ABC's The View in 2007):
EBERSOLE: I don't need to know what happened [on 9/11], because I don't, and that's why we need another investigation...I do know that the official government story is a complete and total lie.
O'DONNELL: Yes, and that's what I've been saying, too.
Story Continues Below Ad ↓EBERSOLE: When you're a truth-seeker...you're called a conspiracy theorist...What is a more outrageous conspiracy theory than 19 guys taking orders from somebody on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan, with box-cutters, overcoming a trillion-dollar defense industry?...Come on. Really...You could be a ten-year-old and know that that's...a Santa Claus story.
Ebersole also declared that governments use foreigners to scare the ignorant common people: "Goebbels said it in the '30s in Nazi Germany: all you've got to do to get people to do your bidding is to say that there's a foreign enemy...that's coming to get you...Osama bin Laden, former CIA operative, I don't know if most people know that, friends of the Bush family for many, many...decades."
Rosie recounted how she was frightened in an airport by what turned out to be a Homeland Security exercise: " I'm walking through [the airport], going, 'Now, does anyone else think that this is some sort of totalitarian nightmare?'
Ebersole replied: "I think America is one of the most brainwashed countries, really, in the world, through school...It's like, 'Under your desks, darlings, the Communists are coming'...We're taught to believe that we're the good guys."
O'Donnell also repeated her line that the movie Avatar was a crystal-clear examination of our government’s policies: "Did you see Avatar?...Here it is, about [this] white totalitarian government that is exploiting these indigenous people for their resources...killing them...in order to take the resources out...and [the] American audience [is] cheering for the blue guys. I'm going, 'Do they not see the parallel?'"
Ebersole even went after Obama, "flying over Afghanistan to get the Nobel Peace Prize as those 60,000 troops go in to murder how many...women and children?...War is war."
O’Donnell added: "And it's wrong on every level, always."

In maths, we call that a contradiction. Reductio ad absurdum.

Tue, 02/09/2010 - 19:34 ET by TexndocAnother idiotic Broadway actress who of course would say to an audience she "supports our troops!" (even though they are nothing but child and women murderers) and thinks all an islamic militant needs is to hear her screech a little "New York New York" ditty and they'd join hands and sing along (before heading back to the cave to beat their 15 year old wife with a chain for reading a book).

Tue, 02/09/2010 - 19:45 ET by UpNorth"women" are so upset about the "60,000" troops going to Afghanistan, I've got a solution for them, and all the other anti-troop wingnuts out there. Volunteer to go over there and become human shields. That's right, go "shield" those women and children. And, be surprised when the Taliban put your heads on stakes by the roadside. Or throw acid in your face.
Because we're the problem, not the "freedom fighters" over there, right Rosie?
I'd like to say that reading that transcript is like . . .

Tue, 02/09/2010 - 20:06 ET by Gary HallWell. Tancredo may have nailed Christine Ebersole - on illiteracy.
Goodness get a load of this sentence structure here:
Interesting. She doesn't need to know - because she don't know.. and because she don't know.. "we need another investigation?"
But she do know:
I guess she knows that because "she don't know."
..and here:
I don't know "what is more outrageous than that and.. and .. and.. oh, wait a minute here - she didn't finish her sentence.. and what?
One thing is for sure, Ms Ebersole. There is little in the world more outrageous than your line of thinking (if one can associate that with thinking.)

And She Votes
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 20:35 ET by rammingspeedGary, Ms Ebersole thinksa and talks like that because, being a liberal, she can. No one has ever challenged her in a meaningful way, because he's down with the proper talking points. The only REAL problem with her is that she votes. That's why we have to stay vigilant and work to inform as many voters as we can.
Ebersole - another fine

Wed, 02/10/2010 - 06:18 ET by vaboxrboyI have no idea why any time is given to this pay station radio show on Newsbusters. It's not mainstream and if no one wrote about it no one would have to vent about it. I have XM and have only come across the show once and found it a rambling mess.
Leave Rosie alone and she will go away.

Tue, 02/09/2010 - 22:02 ET by mostlymoderateI despise O'Donnell. I despise Obama. If you go over my past posts you will realize that I am an adamant conservative stuck with the name "mostlymoderate", a name that refers to a who I was about four years ago. That being said, I am one of those people that still don't think we know everything about 9-11.

Shared ignorance
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 22:17 ET by Pilgrim1949They once had a single thought come up between them....
...but, alas, it died of loneliness.
When I was in the military we used to refer to some of the "bull sessions" we'd overhear among some of our more empty-headed friends as merely a group of people "sharing their ignorance" with one another in a desparate attempt at stumbling across some scintilla of original throught or truth.
This, of course, was usually a futile exercise.
"Ye canne change the laws of physics....." but some politicians believe that with the right legislation you can pretend they don't really apply to your own pet projects...

Truth
Wed, 02/10/2010 - 03:35 ET by JPPThese people have to be stopped. They are geting to close to the truth, that being that it was Elvis that with his twin brother Levis that crashed their planes in to the World Trade Center towers. Oh but I have said to much.....
Wed, 02/10/2010 - 10:39 ET by jessieHThese two must be smoking crack. The American soldiers are American citizens. How dare these two witches bad-mouth the most compasionate people in the world. They can take their liberal drivel and put it where the sun never shines.

Ebersole replied: "I think America is one of the most brainwashed countries, really, in the world, through school...It's like, 'Under your desks, darlings, the Communists are coming'...We're taught to believe that we're the good guys."
Amazing how the rest of the world has that view of us. We have always been seen as the City on a Hill that the world looked up to for hope and decency. It wasn't until atheistic liberalism moved in and polluted our country that we began to lose that reputation.

A Logical Analysis of the Rosie O'Donnell Conspiracy Argument
Sat, 03/13/2010 - 13:51 ET by Punditorious- Bush Administration officials were planning on attacking Iraq prior to 9/11/2001. Let's assume it's true.
- 9-11 occurred. We have reason to believe it did.
- We attacked Iraq. We have reason to believe we did.
- Therefore, the Bush Administration planned 9/11.
Let's apply this same reasoning to a different argument:
- I purchased for my daughter a pair of Adidas running shoes on Friday.
- The following day a new state record was set in the girl's 100-meter dash.
- The winner of the girl's state dash record was wearing a pair of Adidas shoes.
- Therefore, my daughter set the state record in the 100-meter dash.
