there's a saying where I come from... it goes something like this:
"call em liar son, before they call you.."
People want this issue to go away, therefor they call anyone whom doesn't believe the government's official story, as crazy...
problem with this is that there are too many people whom don't believe the ""official story" and many are well known celebrities...
I always advocate logic in critical thinking.. it is so easy to con people. the government has done this from the start, and will continue to do it as long as there are willing people to believe their crap.

Probally because they start out alright , just asking questions.
But then many start making totally outrageous claims with no basis in fact.
Like, saying no airplane hit the pentagon, when they have witness's who saw an airplane hit it, not to mention all the air plane wreckage found and photographed.
Notice, i didn't say what kind of airplane hit it, but we know for a fact that some kind of airplane hit the pentagon.
Or people like the poster above "Cantcu" who started out ok, but then went to flat out lies , when he said the Bush Administration cut the VA Budget by 100 billion dollars.
The VA Budget has never even been 100 billion dollars, the highest its ever been in American history is 80 billion dollars, so just how could anyone cut it 100 billion?
Not to even mention the fact that the VA Budget has increased every year of the Bush Administration from 47 billion in 2001 to 80 billion in 2007.
.
But you get my point,
To many people asking legitimate questions, seem to kill their credibility when they go to far and start making false and misleading claims that are easily disputed.
The legitimate questions they ask, are buried under criticism of the false claims they seem to make.

I question them all the time as the do nothing but lie!
I began that after a year in Vietnam, people spitting on us, and then finding out the war was started over the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" based on an event that never happened and happily voted for by the Republicans!
58, 292 dead!
Bush lies about everything., 23,000 wounded in Iraq and he cuts the VA Budget by 100 Billion and gives tax cuts to the rich!
You want to know how many injured the VA Hospitals are currently treating? 105,000 from Iraq!
Duped again eh?

Because it makes you look like a member of the "blame America first" crowd. It's hard for most people to understand why the first place someone wants to lay blame is George Bush when someone flies airplanes into two huge buildings in NYC, then tried to hit the Pentagon and White House. Especially given the history of where those terrorists came from.
It just makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about, and just trying to be chic by ranting and raving about anything, trying to find a cause.

Because people live under the notion that either u r with us of against us, so if u have an unpopular belief other than the masses you become labeled unamerican, unpatriotic, and all the cheap labels others want to throw you into. When did we get to the point of not checking our public officials?, they are obligated to look out for the interest of their people, not to take matters into their own hands and we not say anything. That's crazy!

Every American has the right and obligation to question what they believe to be wrong. The problem occurs when people do so without thoroughly examining and researching the issue in question. Unless you have concrete proof of what you are saying, you are not stating a fact, you are making an assumption.

Because that`s the only answer they can give and not get in trouble for it. If they actually answer the question they look inept or worse--perhaps even complicit?

Anytime there is doubt, there should be questions... Some of the planet went through the Renaissance, some of the planet has some catching up to do...
