Everyone who thinks this list comes close to being complete is a moran.
All the things Bush did to set up the destruction of the WTC is scary.
The facts that they prepared in advance are laughable as well.
Know how fire got hot enough to burn metal? It didn't.
Research and science proves the buildings were imploded.
All three fell right into their own footprint.
For every claim made that it happened, there is valid counter-proof.
Think that a plane could hit the Pentagon and disappear!?!
Can you really believe that it wasn't a missle?
How anyone looking at the facts could conclude otherwise is wrong.
Except for Neocon sheeple, the truth about Bush is obvious to all.
Everyone should be screaming for arrests and prosecution.
Scientific tests, like the one posted above, prove that it was an inside job.
Even the price of oil has dropped: Bush = WTC = Iraq War = profits.

Lemme guess: Giuliani wrote it.

You forgot to mention the fake moon landings. And the black helicopters.

I'm pretty sure we know everything there is to know and should not under any circumstances ask any questions or be suspicious of anything.

That list is embarrassing to me as an American. I'm embarrassed for the people who wrote it, and I'm embarrassed for the people who believe it.

No, wait, that's not right. I meant to say "shut up, you conspiracy theorist moonbat toolbox."

I didn't make it to the 3rd page of that nonsense.

How much more of my tax money was wasted to produce that drivel?

Thing reads like any other government propaganda. Replace "Bush" with "Stalin" or "Mao" or "Kim Jong-Il" and it would pass in a heartbeat.

what_now [TotalFark] 2009-01-07 12:53:42 PM  
You know what honestly upsets me the most about the Bush admin? The staffing of the Justice Department and the Military.

It would be bad if the Generals and Judges were all hired/promoted for political reasons as opposed to competence, but it goes deeper than that. People were hired at all levels of the Justice Department based on religion and politics. Any senior military officer with ANY competence, honor, or decency has basically been sacked. The Air Force academy is run like Jesus Camp. And that's just what we KNOW about. You think there WASN'T a Monica Goodling in other departments?

I have no idea how we'll be able to flush the disease out of the government.

Now, here's the weird thing. I live in Los Angeles and I've seen a black helicopter. I'm not saying it's part of some vast conspiracy, I just assumed it was either police or military. But it was an all black helicopter with no markings.

Mordant: I'm pretty sure we know everything there is to know and should not under any circumstances ask any questions or be suspicious of anything.

i agree, and also using words like "transformed" and "retooled" you can make anything sound rosier than "ruined" and "broke"

Monkey boy just (yeah just, like, today), spent half a million dollars on dishes "for The White House".

Mean while, people are all up in arms that they spent 20 grand to replace carpets at the New York state governors mansion.

Your tax dollars at work, both in the doing and the listing.

For more than seven years after September 11, 2001, prevented another • attack on our homeland.


By this logic you can say that he also prevented a measels epidemic, alien invasion of the continental US and Gordon Ramsay from getting upset during any one of his TV shows.

This is their lead off point.

mofomisfit 2009-01-07 03:41:27 PM  
Whenever I see a post where I'm dubious as to the poster's intentions, I like to analyze it a little. Dr. Fey's post is, by and large, free of the kind of "watch-words" that would immediately label it as satire, but let's take a closer look.

Everyone who thinks this list comes close to being complete is a moran.
All the things Bush did to set up the destruction of the WTC is scary.
The facts that they prepared in advance are laughable as well.
Know how fire got hot enough to burn metal? It didn't.
Research and science proves the buildings were imploded.
All three fell right into their own footprint.
For every claim made that it happened, there is valid counter-proof.
Think that a plane could hit the Pentagon and disappear!?!
Can you really believe that it wasn't a missle?
How anyone looking at the facts could conclude otherwise is wrong.


All of this is pretty much the standard "Truther" fare. Stylistically it is not quite "over the top" enough to immediately brand it as satire, it's reasonable to believe someone who held those beliefs may communicate that poorly.

Except for Neocon sheeple, the truth about Bush is obvious to all.
Everyone should be screaming for arrests and prosecution.


This is a dubious sentence. First, most people understand not everyone who believes the WTC was brought down by jihadists must be conservative. A smaller segment (but still by and large the majority of politically aware people) understand that not every conservative is a neocon. And the use of the word "sheeple" is sometimes an indication of over the top satire, but again, it is plausible that it would be used in a forthright manner. The second sentence has no indication it should be taken at anything other than face value.

Scientific tests, like the one posted above, prove that it was an inside job.
Even the price of oil has dropped: Bush = WTC = Iraq War = profits.


Ah, now here is the gold. The chicken wire & concrete block test has been widely panned as worthless for the last several years. Yes, a "Truther" may bring it up in earnest, but to me it seems much more likely that a normal person would bring it up in jest. But the last sentence, that beautiful last sentence, to me, is the key. How has the price of oil DROPPING increased oil profits? It seems to me the poster is taking the old trope about the high costs of oil over the last several years, standing it on its head and repeating the same "whargarbbl" for comedic effect.

The final test is the profile click. Dr. Fey has this in his profile: I'm the asshat that submitted the first two headlines that included the phrase "Your dog wants steak." Even I want to beat myself to death. Now since the "Your dog wants steak" meme is profoundly unfunny, perhaps he is a "Truther" after all. But he has learned his lesson, and wants to beat himself to death, proving he is intelligent.

Conclusion: SATIRICAL POST, NON-TRUTHER
