KSFO's Sussman offers to bet that "Obama believes [9-11] was an inside job," but Obama has said it was Al Qaeda

Summary: San Francisco radio host Brian Sussman suggested that "[Sen. Barack] Obama believes" the September 11 attacks were "an inside job." In fact, Obama has repeatedly noted that Osama bin Laden and other members of Al Qaeda were responsible for the September 11 attacks and are still at large.

Ah yes, more reading of people's minds again and as to what they're really saying.

Sussman, I can't believe you're smart enough to remember to breathe on a daily basis. Why? You know what he was saying when Obama was talking about the terrorists being responsible for this are still at large, as in Osama Bin Laden, you know, the guy that planned these attacks? You want to catch him right? I have another thing for you. The people most closely responsible for this were nowhere near Iraq. The people that funded this attack on 9/11/01 are probably living snug and safe in Saudi Arabia. Obama never said anything about this being an inside job. Things like that are for nutters like yourself.

Haven't we heard enough from these morons to realize that expecting to hold them to reasonable journalistic standards is akin to considering the Creation Museum for a Nobel prize?

SUSSMAN: -- a lot of the people who are supporting this guy are the types who are saying: "The blood is on their hands; 9-11's an inside job. It's them."

This is a very special kind of stupid by Sussman. People who think that the US Gov't was behind the attacks on 9/11 simply don't vote.

Judging from the past 8 years this administration would never be competent enough to do 9/11.

Posted by zamfir273114 in reply to wookie

I can agree to that.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to wookie

True enough. And even if they were able to pull off 9/11 as an inside job, don't you think they're definitely not competent enough to not keep it a secret.

Actually I wouldn't trust them to mop the floors at a 7-Eleven. I've worked there. I know what it takes. They don't have it.

I don't know if it was an "inside job" but I DO believe they are not telling us everything.

I'm willing to bet that McCain thinks black people shouldn't be President.   Surely there are people who believe that who are supporting him, right?

Good analogy.

Unlike your jest, I do think Whoopie was serious when she asked her super-smart slave question on the View today.

Posted by friedbergboy1422 in reply to dexteritas0071418

Dex,

I saw that, but I think Whoopi said the slavery comment when McCain was saying how he would like the Constitution to be interpreted the way it was when the Founding Fathers wrote it.  As you know, slavery was legal then.  I think that's why she included that statement.

Fried, you are precisely right. Dex, as usual,tries to make a joke about topics he does not understand.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gramps was buddies with Evan Mecham...

Those Bastards!

Posted by mefirst

the bush administration's complete inattention to the issue of counterterrorism was the reason.

I've never believed that 9/11 was an inside US Government job. If it was, why in the hell would Dubya' sit there like a scared rabbit... reading My Pet Goat... instead of hitting his marks and making stirring pronouncements about 'bringing the evil doers to justice'? Why would he then up and flee from one part of the nation to another in Air Force One, leaving the American people without a leader to rally around? Why would he reveal himself to be a coward in the moment of his nation's greatest need?

Inside job my ass.

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to mescal

I don't think it was an inside job, but I'd disagree that w's pants-pissing paralysis on 9/11 is proof of that. I've never really thought W was in the loop with most of the grown-up business. I think that's more Cheney & Rove and the other thugs, Bush is just the goofy likable spokesmodel with the phony cowboy accent.

That's also why I think Grampy has become such a shell of his former self, he's being prepared for the role of Republo-puppet.All of the "man" is being knocked out of him in case the GOP wins.They don't want some Mavrick asking a bunch of questions, and even McCain's gotta realize that he could be "disappeared" pretty easily if they've got that piece of Play-Dough from Alaska next in line.

SUSSMAN: And when he makes this ridiculous statement -- "Let us remember that the terrorists responsible for 9-11 are still at large" -- what is he really saying there? I've got news for you. The terrorists that were in the planes are dead.

Huh. So that whole Afghanistan thing and the little Iraq deal.... those had nothing to do with the terrorists responsible for 9-11? Wow. Sussman sounds like some kind of far-out liberal.
