Would you vote with Charlie Sheen just because he says the government covered-up what really happened on 9/11? I sure wouldn't and I doubt there are
many who would. If anything, I can imagine him skewing the poll in the opposite direction. Look at the responses to Jesse Ventura. People have no
problem expressing their opposition to an independent former Navy SEAL/governor, let alone an actor who's widely perceived as a left-wing
"conspiracy theorist." I've even heard "shut up and sing" responses to ultra-patriot Bruce Springsteen.
In any case, I didn't cite that poll to prove or even suggest anything scientific. I posted it in conjunction with a scientifically valid poll that
says 62% of the American public believes the government had specific warnings of the terrorist attacks, but chose to ignore those warnings -- in
response to a poster who claimed there were only "a few hundred people who don't believe the official story."
Now you can play with semantics and cite all the legal boilerplate you want. The fact is, a significant portion of the public has serious concerns
about the validity and honesty of the government's official 9/11 story. After the USS Maine, Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, Operation Northwoods, JFK, RFK,
MLK, Gulf of Tonkin, USS Liberty, Lockerbie, TWA 800, Oklahoma City and "WMDs" in Iraq to name but a few, they've got good reason to be
suspicious.
If the government doesn't want to be the prime suspect for every terrorist incident, war or tragic event, maybe they should try telling the truth
every once in a while.
