Paul Thompson was profiled in Esquire Magazine 2004

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x86331

And there were parties all 'round the country where DU members celebrated his success and his patriotic fervor to document the events of 9/11.

And he's still a DU member! Fifteen years now!

8. You are being very insulting to a man who is a real icon here at DU. Richard Clark praised Paul's

work. His timeline is a documentation of all the FACTS from 9/11, compiled together; and it is quite fascinating. Have you ever even bothered to read it, or do you just call people "truthers" if they do some research on 9/11? One shouldn't look too closely at the facts of that day, I suppose, should they?

When did researchers become something to smear and mock and call names on this site? We are all very proud to be able to associate (even if it is through an anonymous board) with a man of Paul's integrity and stature.

What have YOU done other than recently show up and be consistently divisive? You don't have an ounce of the integrity of Paul Thompson!!

So very very rude.

I call em like I see em, and when some is a 9-11 truther, like the quote at that link, then I call em a 9-11 truther.

Those were scary times for all of us and his determination to find out the truth and document the facts made all he shared with us a must read.

The week after is the day of doom...so if they wait that long, it's probably limbo until something weird happens

Wow. So many with tens of jury hidden posters still on DU, and another great voice of the Left gets censored?

Maybe some people are right to be worried they are next? Will any Left be left?

The Cave Trolls are already sharpening their knives and checking their lists.

*laughs* I'm surprised I lasted as long as I have on this site, actually. I used to get hides from the mods for protesting Bush Admin torture near the end of their term. I guess I didn't get the memo that all was forgiven as long as the Bush Admin let us have the WH.
