I would love to debate Dr Griffin. It wouldn't be fair on him though.

If you'd like, create a thread offering up what you feel is the single most important piece of evidence that the official account of 9/11 is false.

If DRG is now saying he's ready to debate any debunker maybe Ron should try and approach him again with regards to an appearance on Hardfire.

I'd like to see him debate any debunker, because any debunker can school him.
I'd suggest Mark. And gumboot has some excellent background on his claims, gained from his Griffin debunking work. Heck, anyone from here suits just fine.

Look at the quote a little closer...
From LCF:
went to see Dr. Griffin.
He is very articulate and knowledgeable concerning the events of 911. He and his fellow truthers would like to have a debate with any of the debunkers. I would like to see that as well. Fema would look like a bunch of preschoolers - oops sorry preschoolers I didn't mean to insult any of you.
Like he himself said about his non Engineer degree - "I can read".
He takes personal affront as do I at being considered a conspiracist when, in fact, it is they who have attempted to spread the conspiracy - however ludicrous.
1. I suspect he will not debate one on one. I think he is hinting at a rekindling of the old debate suggestion from last year, team versus team.
2. If they stuck to only issues FEMA had knowledge of, I am sure FEMA could hold their own in a debate. Why they think some FEMA scientist or engineer would have details on "foreknowledge" or UA93, is beyond me...
3. Similarly, I would love to see a debate between DRG and Mark, but I can almost guarantee it will not happen.

Hmmm. Not good.
It seems that DRG is willing to debate any debunker, meaning debating NIST or FEMA. Which, of course, would never happen and is a safe challange.

Tell you what, Mr. Griffin: show us that you can handle, say, a NYC tour guide then maybe you can work your way up to NIST, OK?
It's telling that one of the top minds of Twoofer Land has never debated anyone on 9/11!
Even the average single white male twoofer in the street is willing to debate passersby.

Yooo Hooo! Oh, Pomeroo!
Ron should arrange a hardfire debate between Griffin and Mark.
Griffin will never agree to such a thing:
The rules of twoofer debate:
#1 - Don't debate Mark Roberts
#2 - Quantity, not quality. Say as much as possible, it's not about the quality of the debate, but about how many claims you can make that your opponent doesn't refute.
#3 - Team up. If possible, never go into the debate 1-on-1.
#4 - Any evidence that the debunker presents is faked.
#5 - Laugh at your opponent. It makes you look smarter.
#6 - The debunker is a liar.
-Bermas Correlary - Remind your opponent of this.
#5 - You won. No matter what anyone says, you(the truther) are the winner of the debate. Anyone who says otherwise is a shill.

If it hasn't been stated, Ron, you should invite the inventor of the "voice morphing technology" onto your show to confront DRG face to face about his claims on those airphones.

Agreed...then the voice morphing technology should be used to call the Alex Jones show using the voice of Dylan Avery to see if it fools him. (or vice versa)

I'd like to see Griffin address the points in R. Mackey's paper, in any format. He's probably too busy thinking of ways to reword his previous five books, to come up with another five.

This is the one rule that always makes any debate frustrating. I would love to see a debate between DRG and Mark Roberts. But I would like it to have a very specific topic. It doesn't matter what that topic is, let DRG choose. But the point would be to focus only on the evidence and rebuttals related to that topic because the typical truther tactic is to change subjects when cornered by facts.

One of the twoofers on DW challenged me to a debate, and was unwilling to meet my terms;
1. On a national network
2. Live
3. All expenses paid
4. My customary honorarium
They expected me to debate them for free!
I guess they don't really want to debate anything... ;)

In case anyone's interested, Dr. Griffin e-mailed me the other day, regarding my whitepaper.
No comments on it, though, just wanted the tracked-changes edition.
The paper's been out for almost two months now, and still no errors found (unless I suddenly wake up to find myself in Bizarro World, in which case I might have to take the ravings of Chuck Thurston (http://www.truememes.com/mackey.html) seriously).
If Dr. Griffin can find errors that nobody else has been able to, then I'll be suitably impressed. Somehow I doubt it, though.

Wouldn't it be cool if he issued a reversal? Not that I think it's likely to happen. He seems to have cast his die. But it's possible.

Seems to me that when I hear of an apparently intelligent and well educated person who has bought into "movement" BS, there's about a 99% chance they bought it from Griffin. Apparently, he has a knack for convincing some incautious people that he's thoroughly and carefully researched what he's writing about, and that he wouldn't be writing about it if it weren't solid. IMHO, taking on Griffin would be well worth it.

Absolutely. If you go to the PQ911 site, and look up the "professors" that have "questions" about 9/11, an abundance of them are associates of DRGs, or fellow authors and editors.
