How do they do it? Kevin Barrett was a guest on Mancow's Morning Madhouse radio show and repeated all the dubious claims of CT. Everything all over again. Is there an echo or something that repeats all the claims over and over again.

At 1:54:00 mark he comes on
http://www.mancow.com/livestream?dispid=305&headerDest=L3BnL2pzcC9tZWRpYS9mbGFzaHdlbGNvbWUuanN wP3BpZD0zMDQ3JnBsYXlsaXN0PXRydWUmY2hhcnR0eXBlPWNoY XJ0JmNoYXJ0SUQ9MzAxJnBsYXlsaXN0U2l6ZT0xMg==

He gets only a few minutes and here is what he has to say in this short time:

"NY Times poll shows only 16% of Americans buy the official story. If you are among that 16% you are in a very small minority.

Proven beyond reasonable doubt that the three WTC buildings were taken down in controlled demolitions with explosives."

"Especially building 7 which was never hit by a plane, had only two small fires (show him the new Steve Spak video), yet collapsed in its own footprint."

"And the landlord who was overinsured made many billions of dollars on his six week investment, confessed on national TV that he pulled it."

"Thats why 85% of people are on my side and only 16% believe the official story."

"Official story about flight 77 supposedly piloted by a guy who couldn't fly a Cessna is complitely ridicilous."

"Operation Northwoods."

Why are they allowed to lie so much! Mancow was good though, he didn't buy ANY of it.

Barrett doesn't care, at least based on his email to Gravy re: the Silverstein quote. He presumably believes it's okay to twist things if they fit in with what he wants to believe, a "the ends justify the means" thing.

Agree with you Mike.

There's also a clear pattern with the polls. Barrett repeated those percentages at least three or four times. It's a tell tale sign of a tactic to make the truth movement seem much bigger than it actually is. And to make those not believing them to feel awkward by making them believe they are only a small minority. Barrett twisted those percentages so much. First it was 85% who didn't buy everything the government was saying. And in the end it developed to 85% of people are on his side. That would be controlled demolition, Silverstein confessing etc. What a lie that claim is.

Yes... That was the only good thing about the host, though. Although he admitted he couldn't argue the case with Barrett, at least he got it right with the percentages.

It can't be said that Barrett isn't smart enough to know he is grossly misleading with the poll figures so he is a liar. And he knows it What drives someone to do that?
A few bucks he can make at seminars? 15 minutes of fame? Mental illness? Hate for Bush or the government in general clouds his thinking?

Barrett converted to Islam (he just didn't change his name), his views are likely based on denial that his religious brethren could do such a thing.

85 + 16 = 101%

Is there a single member of thier movement that perform even basic, grade school addition and subtraction?

After seeing their work here, um, (looks at posted examples) the answer is no.
