I happened to be channel surfing tonite and caught Bill Maher’s show. For the record, I am not a fan of Bill Maher, or his show, but I was tempted
tonite because there was nothing else on and his guests were Michael Moore (live via satellite from Goldman Sachs) and Sean Penn.
Well I was surprised when during his opening monologue he blamed the Pentagon shooting on “9/11 truthers” in particular and “conspiracy
theorists” in general. Even the MSM has backed away from this guilt-by-association tactic.
Michelle Malkin wrote an article today titled: “About the Pentagon shooter; Update: Stop playing games, MSM. John Patrick Bedell was a registered
Democrat”. He was also a Californian!
In the article Malkin quoted Zombie:
”I’m not going to say that Bedell’s actions at the Pentagon epitomize the leftist worldview. Rather, he was just crazy, as clearly indicated by
his belief in the craziest of modern crazy conspiracy theories, 9/11 Truthism.
Are most Truthers leftists? Yes. But that doesn’t mean that all left-leaning Americans are thereby just as crazy as the most extreme among them; it
simply indicates that when a leftist goes crazy in the post-9/11 era, he often gloms onto Truthism as his paranoia of choice.”
I think Bill Maher is fearful that democrats will be accused of being somehow culpable for this senseless violence which would reflect badly on him
and his worldview. He so enjoys poking fun at the Tea Partiers and various wingnut groups. Most of all Bill Maher doesn’t want to be un-cool. So
his solution was to insinuate that the 9/11 truth movement is a dangerous insane group responsible for the pentagon attack.
This monologue was a petty and vindictive swipe at the group which dared to disrupt his show awhile back. He recalled how he himself physically
removed them from the audience.
I was pleasantly surprised by the audience reaction which was silence. It was a sour note Bill!
For myself I believe this was suicide by cop. John Patrick Bedell was mentally ill and wanted to die.
I will post the video as soon as it is available.
