(PrisonPlanet)-During Professor Jim Fetzer's appearance on The O'Reilly Factor Thursday night, O'Reilly equated the 9/11 Scholars with terrorists and threw his weight behind a move to have them being investigated by the FBI, in a similar vein to a previous case in which his false charges led to the arrest of another professor and charges of supporting terrorism which were later dismissed.
"I'd put the FBI on you and that nutty Barrett and find out what the hell you guys are up to," salivates O'Reilly, making reference to Sammy Al-Arian, a former professor at USF who was charged and later acquitted of helping to lead a Palestinian terrorist group that carried out suicide bombings against Israel.

Fetzer is and has been over his head. I applaud his conviction to his beliefs, whether I agree with them or not, but he really needs to realize he hasn't the qualifications to be the spokesman for his group.
O'Reilly is a McCarthyistic fascist who needs his mic stuck up his pompous backside....at least then we'd have a chance of hearing something interesting.

Dr. Fetzer in contrast is a qualified exponent of the structural engineering at the center of 911 inquiry.

Take it as a complement.
It means you guys are a threat to lies and cover up and are doing a good job. If he has to equate 9/11 truthers with terrorists it only means that things are getting desperate.
We all know their methods by now.
Name calling and ridicule is a sign of weakness.

There are more objective, constructive ways to have a discussion.
Btw, this is not a one-liner.

LOL you got it wrong, it's the government trying to force a 757 into a missile hole...
What experts? Government affiliated don't count.
What about the 'experts' who question the 'official story'? Do you just dismiss them 'cause what they're saying doesn't fit in your hole?
And why so desperate to have ppl not question? You have a problem with ppl questioning their government? And don't say you're tired of the conspiracies, you know where the off switch is...

Jofomu, Dude why so angry?
Anger is the outward expression of fear, insecurity, and sadness...What are you scared of, the truth? Insecure in your convictions? Sad cause your government is lying to you? You should be.
And again you're stereotyping and you don't even know who I am or how I think.
And you expect me to listen to you and take what you say as gospel?
All I ask is you do some real research, with an open mind.
If you want to know my opinion on 9-11 you will have to go and do some reading of previous and current threads. I'm not going to spend hours explaining to you what really happened on 9-11 in a single post. All I can say is look at the physics, and understand it. In other words do your own research, you don't need a conspiracy site to tell you how physics work in the real world.
And having said that the fact that you put more trust in your government than an independent researcher is pretty scary. That's how despot governments get power.

Here's where my problem comes in. You decry O'Reillys' treatment of Fetzer but none of you have commented on Tazadars' post of the attack on William Kristol by some Alex Jones goons. Why is that? He was called a 'scumbag' and 'murderer' several times. It would be refreshing to see fair play advocated by one side or the other. Now is a good time. Agree with their message but post your dismay at the Brownshirt (or O'Reilly) tactics used by the goons.
