Truth truly is stranger than fiction.

(43,890 posts)There's not enough description to assess the size of the piece of landing gear.
Big enough to call 911, but other than that...
Hopefully we'll hear more later.

(62,325 posts)from back then. I like the word 'truth'. Do you have a problem with people thinking for themselves rather than accepting Bush's tin foil theories? Here's my position, anything Bush said was a lie. I can't think of a thing he ever said that turned out to be true.
And at one time, most DUers were aware of that. Now we have DUers who would rather accept Bush's propaganda, and yes he even admitted that this was his job, to spread the propaganda around, than ask questions of their own. I wonder about that.
From my pov, if Bush told us something, we know it was a lie.
Btw, what is a 'truther'? Would you prefer 'liar'? We sure have plenty of them in our government. Sounds like one of those 'talking points' desigend and paid for to stop people from daring to ask questions. Shame to see it here where we generally dismiss those bought and paid for talking points.
It hasn't worked, the more time passes the more people are questioning, and the fewer there are who believe a word told to them by the Bush gang.

(18,672 posts)People on DU these days have to be really careful what they post or put in their comments if it's in any way questioning the "official story", or they're apt to be accused of being of the tinfoil sort. One little deviation and you get jumped on. I've been a DU member for about 10 years, and have been coming to this site longer than I've been a member, but have noticed this trend more and more in the past few years. It's a bit disturbing. I don't like it.

(4,111 posts)I can't tell if some du'ers are accepting bush's lies because Obama is continuing many of his policies or what... Also, do people forget that bush refused to open an investigation or hearings on 9/11 AND when he finally acquiesced he refused to testify unless Cheney was with him - for only an hour? Doesn't that give people pause anymore??!

(14,337 posts)Hmm. Really? NOW of all times? If they found it in the Hudson River 12 years later, I could see that, but this???? There are millions of people walking all around there day by day. It is also a very SMALL area down there. Nobody noticed this until now?
