Bill Clinton Shouts Down 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists

Former President Bill Clinton responded aggressively on Tuesday when his speech at a fundraiser for his wife's campaign was interrupted by 9/11 conspiracy protesters.

"A fraud? No, it wasn't a fraud," Clinton said, responding to one of the hecklers as the audience cheered. "I'll be glad to talk to you if you shut up and let me talk." Another protester yelled that the attacks were an "inside job."

"An inside job? How dare you. How dare you. It was not an inside job," Clinton said. "You guys have got to be careful, you're going to give Minnesota a bad reputation."

Minnesota?

I think maybe those freaks have spent too much ice fishing and have some brain damage from the cold.

[rh654]

Dear Lord - these nuts are from the same tree that still believes there were are still are WMD's in Iraq - that Iraq had a nuke, and that Iraq was part of 9/11.

It is a bit scary that these people are out in public - driving on the freeways and in our stores.

[coyote4]

Have you read my thesis: if it was not conspiracy it then was the overriding incompetence of America and Americans.

That's YOU, son: incompetent and useless.

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

it is a good thesis. the puppet can't tie his shoes, but the masters are pure evil, PNAC style.

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

Actually I do not believe these people think Iraq had anything to do with 9/11, that they had a nuke, or useable WMD's. Some Senators still partially think so however.

[Yasmine]

rg654 You do not make sense.....­......heck­lers do not believe the existence of WMD in Iraq , and know it was a pretext.
THE RIGHT WING FOLKS DID AND DO.

[bluescat47]

Good for Bill. It is hard to deal with these deluded types, who thrive on the irrational and the inconceivable. The roots are largely psychological I suspect (combined with a large dose of plain stupidity) of why some people will believe absolutely anything that comes down the crackpot highway, any absurd concoction that is on the Net or Youtube.

The attacks on 9/11 were part of a conspiracy, in fact a criminal conspiracy at the CIA. The CIA knew about Mihdhar and Hazmi for 21 months prior to 9/11 and deliberately did not give this information to the FBI criminal investigation teams. The 9/11 Commission said they could never understand why the CIA did this or why the they never connected these two terrorists to the huge attack the CIA had been warned about from April 2001. But a new book "Prior Knowledge on 9/11" found information in the governments own files that says the CIA knew these two terrorists were connected to the warnings of this huge attack. In fact email between CIA managers on July 23, 2001 says that the CIA was aware that Mihdhar and Hazmi were going to take part in this huge attack. On August 22, 2001 when the CIA finds out that both of these terrorists are inside of the US, they know these terrorists will be part of this huge attack inside of the US that will kill thousands of Americans and they continue to hide this information from the FBI, knowing this will make it impossible for the FBI to prevent this attack.

These Halloween bedtime tales, really put me to sleep quickly. zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzz­z

Some of the "suspected high-jackers," suddenly known to the CIA and the FBI on the evening of 9/11, were pilots for small firms that flew around the likes of Jerry Falwell and Jack Abramoff.

How convenient.

[reigndog]

Bill's reaction only reinforces the truth...

His tone sounds very familiar.. as in "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman"... turns out he did.

Truther Seekers = 1, Bill Clinton = 0

America = 1000, BushCo = 0.

[PeteChrisman]

How dare you question the government? How dare you question the honesty of the Bush administration? I did not have sex with that woman. You people need to shut up. Hillary is good. Everything that the government does is for your own good. You're crazy all of you scholars and engineers and scientists and ex-Intelligence and ex-government officials and ex-military and honest citizen journalists. All of you are nutcases and how dare you?

I'm convinced--we should all shut up just like Glenn Beck and Bill Maher and Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and Bill Clinton and George Bush say.

[YellowPanties]

snore!

[PeteChrisman]

there, there--go back to sleep--everything is just the way you think it is--sleep little one, sleep

Snicker, giggle, tee hee. Oh right, all those internet scholars and scientists. Yah, the ones with degress from Hollywood Upstairs Engineering School?

yes, I can see, you're very well informed--and intelligent too

Love that! Great comment.

[Marmann]

I used to get angry at neocon posts that accused Bill Clinton of letting Osama bin Laden get away, too, but now I'm honestly starting to wonder about it all, in view of Bill's cozy relationship with and "adoption" by Papa Bush since Dubya "took" office.

I wonder how Hillary feels about this. In fact, I wonder just how BOTH of them feel about the PNAC and a "New World Order."

I wish someone would ask EVERY CANDIDATE that question.

Remember the movie "Trading Places" where two old geezers bet ONE DOLLAR on the outcome of their manipulation of someone else's lives. Sometimes it feels like two old geezers (one Republican and one Democrat, maybe the Bushes and the Clintons) have a similar bet, only involving every citizen in the USA.

Something is terribly wrong with these two American political "dynasties" being so chummy, especially with Hillary adopting Bush's "sticks and stones" diplomacy by being the only Democratic candidate to vote in favor of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment. Is Hillary nothing more than just another Dumbya in drag?

[Stretchumall]

Makes you wonder if there is more to why Bill didn't stump for Al.


Got Rope?

[punkingale]

Bob Shrum advised Al Gore to distance himself from Bill. Even though Bill Clinton left office with a 70% approval rating.

[DatelessNerd]

Geez, if you're gonna confront Bill Clinton about anything, confront him about his decision to campaign for Joe Lieberman in Connecticut last year.

I'd like Bill to explain how Lieberman is "a good man" and "a good Democrat" who "will do [Connecticut] proud."

[shockmagog]

At least we know that for a fact.

[Marmann]

And Hillary supports Leiberman's amendment regarding Iran.

[NoContest]

hecklers are a threat to free speech and public discourse....

they should be SHOT.....


!@$#

[Alvin4NY]

I am sure Cheney is drafting a bill as we type...

[Marmann]

LOL! Isn't he hunting this weekend?

[racom]

Hey 'NoContest', go cheney your self! Be glad that some one is courageous enough to stand up and question these lying SOBs. Anyone who believes the 'official report' about 9/11 has his head up his derriere. Clinton is full of mud, all evidence says that 9/11 had a lot of help from inside this country. By the way, if jet fuel melted the steel and caused the collapse of the towers why do they use it to build jet engines and what brought down building 7?

[OneVoiceInACrowd]

pictures of plane debris at the Pentagon and in Penn are also hard to come by. Shouldn't there be a picture like this:

The govt has the ability to explain all of this, why do they not? Why have they not released the survellance cameras on the buildings around the pentagon?

[TLV]

FREE SPEECH! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL AMERICAN!

[BushSunkOurShip]

How dare Bush, Cheney, the republicans, the democrats, Bill Myer, or the Clintons tell Americans what they can or can not believe or say. Hell, we don't like a hell of a lot of what is coming out of their mouths, much less the actions and lack of actions from our elected officials.
Just how, when and where did we lose our ability to think for our selves, talk and discuss what we wish and how we feel? I am tired of the government, the news media and now democrats censoring us and telling us what we can say.
Seems like not only Bush and Cheney thinks our constitution is a G. Damn piece of paper and they have to answer to no one, but our Senators and House of Representatives are starting to think the same thing.
We need to purge the arrogant , self centered, corrupted elite out of the control & running of our government. This nation was never meant to be run by the elite, but by the wishes and welfare of the people in this country.
Where in the hell do they get off telling us they will start a war with whom ever they wish for their own person reason, destroy our freedom and rights and tell us they know best.
If we open our mouth to complain about their deceit, then WE are the terrorist and the enemy.
When are the war hawks going to get the feet wet, join our soldiers on the front line to get their heads blown off, as they have sent our brave soldiers to, instead having their parties, bragging about their patriotism, while people like Bush in his republican party, bend his head down looking under a table, put his hand to shealter his eyes, saying there are no WMD over there and laugh about it.

What about the FREE SPEACH of Bill Clinton AND those who came to hear him? What happened to THEIR free speach rights? YOU only want free speach for YOU and what YOU believe. THAT IS NOT FREE SPEACH! GET A CLUE.

[coyote4]

What? a brief interruption of a handful of seconds causes this much emotion in you? So angry that the voiceless gained a muffled voice of several seconds?

And this is what you want your America to be?

And you have not read my thesis and responded to it as yet?

another incompetent and useless American.

[Yasmine]

come on AVERAGE......A FEW MINUTES OR SECONDS OF PROTEST IS NOT A BIG DEAL FOR A STRONG DEMOCRACY.
OTHERWISE IT IS FASCISM.
GET A LIFE. AVERAGE

[GarsLuber]

Republicans sharing in sacrifice?

What kind of country do you think this is? chicken hawks are cheerleaders only

[RustyNeverSleeps]

It WAS an inside job. And many Democrats knew it beforehand, just as many Republicans. That is a FACT. It is just another funny riddle that can not be proven in a court of law, that's all.

American foreign policy has fomented Arab aggression for decades. Throughout the 70's, how many times did we hear, "WWIII will be over oil in the Middle East." And NOTHING was done to stop it.

Clinton is a pandering ass who believes it is okay to lie, just to get in the White House. He and the DLC justify their right-wing pandering this way for two decades, and that has resulted in two indistinguishable parties.

[YellowPanties]

Being warned of an imminent attack is not the same as it being an "inside" job. Saying it is an "inside job" means that you believe hundreds of persons within our own government willingly allowed, in fact, planned, the deaths of approximately 40,000 people. That was the number who could have died had the towers collapsed immediately or fallen over and started fires.

So you really believe that a few dozen/hundred gov't workers would allow 40,000 Americans to die?

You, and everyone else who believes this, are almost not worth responding to because you have LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY. Do yourself a favor and think about what you're saying.

[Marmann]

Earlier this week, Bush tried to sneak in $88 million for "bunker busters" that have no use or need in Iraq or Afghanistan. They're obviously intended for Iran.

Last week, a new Homeland Security "directive" went into effect on October 18, 2007, the same week that Bush smiled, giggled, laughed and drooled in enthusiasm at the mere mention of World War III. It details a plan in case of "bioterrorism" or "catastrophic illnesses" or other events that threaten "national security. It even mentions massive numbers of dead American bodies. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/10/print/20071018-10.html

I'm sure such an "event" would create so much chaos that Bush's martial law plan would "need" to be implemented.

If that happens, who may win a future presidential election becomes a moot point.

Scott Ritter has some very intelligent insight on what will happen to us in retaliation when we strike Iran. You owe it to yourself to watch it and then see if you can connect the dots I've provided above.

WHY NOT, INDEED.

[BillLumbergh]

Good Job by Clinton. These obnoxious, simple-minded fools are growing tiresome. Just because they lack the brainpower and proper brain chemistry to see how wrong they are doesn't mean the rest of us have to tolerate their mouth-breathing antics.
This is the brainless reactionary wing of the left that I never knew existed until now. You make me ashamed to be a progressive.

I hate to say this, but his "how dare you?" sounded like someone caught in a lie. It reminds of when he shook his finger and uttered those words..."I did not have sex with that woman.." Same tone, same inflection, same false indignation. What a revelation...

[AxelDC]

Why has American politics devolved into telling people to shut up? I don't believe the 9/11 conspiracies, but they do raise valid questions.

By refusing to answer those questions, the government, including Pres. Clinton, lend more credence to those "nutcases".

Clinton seemed more interested in impressing Fox News than delving into an important event in American History.
