Sorry to those offended, but all the whacked conspiracy theories come from lefties.

Answer 1

They have nothing better to go on. The are sheep in the herd. Hillary is the shepherd. She's going to lead them all over the cliff.

Answer 2

Whether cell phones work on airplanes depends entirely on where the airplane is and how high it is.

The area between Boston and NYC is heavily populated so there is good cell coverage. I also suspect the planes in questions were low enough for cell phones to work on 9/11.

As far a embracing debunked conspiracy, many on the right wing still cling to some BIG ones.

1) Many right wingers still believe that Bil Clinton killed Vince Foster even though at least 3 investigations (including on by that crazy liberal Ken Starr) says Clinton had nothing to do with it.

2) and don't get me started on WMD in Iraq.

Answer 3

the actual Illuminati existed from might a million, 1776-1785 in Bavaria. They have been advocates of freethought, secularism, liberalism, republicanism and gender equality. regardless of if, the King of Bavaria did not like this too a lot and suppressed the business enterprise (and all different secret societies). The conspiracy concept form of developed. It began interior the late 18th century, wherein John Robison and Augustin Barruel made the conspiracy concept. The stated that they've been beginning revolutions throughout Europe with right here charateristics: anti-clericalism, anti-monarchism, anti-patriarchalism and the form of a international noocracy (aristocracy of the sensible). This conspiracy concept wasn't heavily picked up back till the era in between WWI and WWII. 3 communities are in charge for the fashionable conspiracy: Nazis and Nazi-like events, some individuals interior the fundamentalist Christian pass, and a few superb suited-wing populists. the thought proposed with the aid of superb suited-wing populists (such by using fact the bathroom Birch Society) is the only Illuminati conspiracy concept prevalent immediately and it rather is not even consistent with the unique one, to not incorporate the mere hypothesis in touch.

Answer 4

is that yalls' favorite one? the cell phones don't work on airplanes theory? i've gotten really deep into the whole 9/11 conspiricy literature, and i don't think ive ever seen someone try to use that as proof of the cover-up/inside job (whatever you want to call it). maybe i'm just reading stuff that's too logical.

ive seen people try to use the manner in which the buildings collapsed to support the theory of a controlled demolition.

ive seen people use the standard policies of the FAA and NORAD to support the theory that the system that is in place to handle such a situation completely broke down for no concievable reason

ive seen pictures of the pentagon that lacked any commercial airline wreckage

i've seen simulations of the manuever that the "hijacker" that was reported as being a poor flight school student would have had to have completed in a commercial airliner (which most top fighter pilots couldn't have executed) in order to hit the pentagon

i've seen the evidence of the surveilence equiptment in the airports convieniently malfunctioning

i know that members of the bin laden family were airlifted out of the country during the national grounding of all aircraft

i've seen and read lots of stuff about this particular subject over the last five years, and i've never really noticed anyone trying to prove that 9/11 was an inside job by saying that cell phones don't work on airplanes as their main piece of evidence. that's just a stupid thing to say...
you folks love that popular mechanics article, don't you?

Answer 5

Hmmmm
CELL PHONES DON'T WORK ON AIRPLANES!

Is that some kind of code to your Islomofascists co conspirators to find a new detonating device???

All of you terrorists have the same rhetoric. Until you learn to blend in to American culture your posts will stick out like balls on a dog.

Go big Red Go

Answer 6

First of all, these are crazy people, not liberals. Just because you dislike (or irrationally despise) people does not mean that everyone who is wrong is one of those whom you dislike.

Belief that the government is evil stems from both conservative viewpoints (government, especially big government is evil -- decisions, money, responsibility, etc. should be left to the people) and liberal viewpoints (this government is bought by big corporations, not responsive to the will of the people, and lying to us). Just because you think that mainstream liberalism accepts these ideas doesn't make it true. In fact, it makes you an idiot.

Also, please notice that it's conservatives who routinely ignore scientific findings. If it challenges their traditional views on anything, the science must be wrong.

Answer 7

Because those are the ones that make the Bush admin. look bad, and the facts don't......simple enough....some cell phones may not have....but the main fact is that most say they were on the air phones, you know, those funny handsets on the back of the seat?.....which had been on the planes, and used for a decade........and very expensive......

Answer 8

Why are right wing nuts still hanging to the Iraq WMD conspiracy when they have the North Korean and Iranian WMD conspiracies to fantasize about.

Answer 9

Participating in a 'Circle Jerk' while typing your question tends to skew your thoughts John Skerry... It obviously turns on guys like Greg who cannot think straight either... He probably thinks 'Best Answer' means he gets to eat the cracker... Go Republicon Bonner Brains!

Answer 10

It's what they want to believe, because we say they are wrong and to admit them right would be a terrible thing. PS I hope hillary leads them off that previously mentioned cliff.
