An opening salvo is fired at the left (blog-based) gatekeeper of record, from a member of the 9/11 Truth community!

Markos gets off on hearing his name spoken by CNN or by spineless politicians. he has no interest in being honest with his readers. too many cocktail parties to be invited to. hes fine just spinning away. goddamn shill if ever there was one........

For instance...this response to some thread about Moyers mentioning 911 Truth related issues...

Define "hammered"... (0 / 0)

It didn't happen to us...it was allowed and facilitated, if not engineered to "happen" to us. If by hammered, you mean stifled by the right wing noise machine...yes, he did get hammered. Check out this list of scholars who question the official "tale" - http://patriotsquestion911.com/... . Critical mass is around the corner, and BushCo will go down.

What is wrong with this site? Is Kos in the back pocket of the Neocons? I have written him directly about this and received no response. Blocking discussion of this topic is really putting the head in the sand, or acting like a little kid, putting hands over the ears.

... to the five or seven-sided free-for-alls that result whenever the topic is raised. Since no new evidence seemed to be forthcoming (whether because it is/was being suppressed or because it simply doesn't exist), there was nothing for the level-headed, moderating voices in the community to examine in trying to resolve the points of disagreement dispassionately. Things always devolved into a shouting match where basically people either believe the official version or they don't.

or this, where I used very oblique language...notice the eight recommends!!

Class action suit to seek redress for scarring~~ (8+ / 0-)

War on Terror = War on America...brilliant!!

Excellent post, and I had a thought over the weekend about the emotional/psychological scars that millions of Americans still suffer from the events of 9-11. Your piece is very insightful about the injuries we all suffer as result of the destruction of the country we love.

I proposed that class action lawsuits be launched seeking redress for the US Government's "handling" of the events of 9-11 for the massive, and in many cases, debilitating psychological scarring that resulted from the horrors of that day. The discovery process integral to civil lawsuits will yield, despite the myriad "state secrets/executive privilege" bullshit that will stand in the way, information critical for the American public to heal some of the wounds from those "terrorist" attacks..

Perhaps a similar litigation strategy, seeking redress on the broader scale considered in your piece, would have similar potential for beneficial results??!!

"Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest." - Benjamin Franklin

Well done, Michael. You put Daily Kos in a bag and shipped it straight to Sellout Ville. Daily Kos is a great progressive blog. But Kos, like Crooks and Liars and others are simple hypocrites and sellouts (Advertisers controlling content). They care more for their own ego, poketbook, and their new found popularity with celebrity politicians more than they care about honest open-minded discussion or America or real Freedom. It gives me the creeps when blogs like KOS have blanket censorship of the most important topic in modern American history. Seriously, forget about who might have conspired to carry out the 9/11 attacks, just the infamous day alone and what lead to that day and what has followed that day, well, there is nothing bigger or more important for America than a full understanding 9/11. Not since the Civil War have we experienced as much death and destruction on native soil as we did on 9/11. Imagine Daily Kos banning any discussion about the Civil War. To ban any 9/11 discussion amongst intelligent and studied individuals is in line with policies of China and other Totalitarian ruled nations, it also serves as a primer for clamping down on Freedom of Speech; it get's people used to the idea that they cannot speak their mind freely. And for that, Daily Kos gets no more love (or daily clicks). May they shrivel up next to Bill O'Reilly and !

Ok here it is;

Poll: Is helping to expose the 9/11 dust scandal the least Daily Kos could be doing?

Please go vote in the poll guys! And if you've got an account show some support in the comments because there's bound to be a few assholes turning up, also vote the blog up if you know how, I haven’t worked that out yet lol.
