Oh, Noes! I'm on more of Kevin Barrett's lists.
Kevin Barrett contacted me after he heard that Kevin Ryan backed out of a debate opportunity with me. Barrett wanted to know if I was interested in debating him on his radio show, or perhaps in a live debate when he is in New York.
In his email to me, he copied a response he had sent to a listener, in which he said that I was complicit in mass murder and a candidate for a war crimes tribunal, with the gallows perhaps in my future. I guess that's his idea of an inducement to debate. I replied,

Let's just stick to the facts people. I'm getting tired of this getting personal.
Ignore the personal issues, critical thinkers should know better than to play the infantile games of these truthers. |

We should start compiling a list of all the people Barrett has directly or indirectly threatened with the gallows once the revolution comes... I know he basically did the same to that local reporter who covered his Madison "conference".
I am reminded of...

That there are people like Barret who hope to someday reshape society is one of the reasons liberals like me are buying firearms.

What is it about kooks and their dang 'lists'. Its like a mark of a particularly emotionally unstable person to run around bragging about making 'lists'. Half the kooks on USENET used to obsess about making 'lists' of one kind or another.
Can't they just remember who they don't like? |

Why is it, whenever I take my "complicit in mass murder and a candidate for a war crimes tribunal" list to the supermarket and leave my shopping list on the fridge, I always forget the cottage cheese?

My brother in law is convinced that all guns have the ability to magically go off for no reason at all.
It's really sad when people get an idea stuck in their head and won't listen to reason... *cough*truthers*cough* |

Yeah, when I joined I wrote them and told them my positions on most things and how a big reason I joined was because they got Limbaugh off. They sent it directly to the ACLU president and I got an awesome return letter.

By the same sort of "logic" these guys use, shouldn't the government be rounding up the "Truthers" and executing them? Aren't they just as guilty in trying to cover up the real guilty parties?
No? Ah, well, at least there's the consolation that I'll be in good company among the folks on Death Row; all the structural engineers, most of the FDNY and NYPD, Larry Silverstein, Mark Roberts and the JREF forum members, James B and Stephen Lemons, the Popular Mechanics guys, the Left Gatekeepers like Chomsky and Cockburn.... They're going to need those Chinese guillotines to get rid of us all! |

Gravy, can you tell if his attaching the earlier e-mail was intentional or an unintentional oversight? |

Intentional. It was a whole discussion, with links to my work (which link to his previous statement that I'll be executed alongside Larry Silverstein).
What a silly goose. |

Well, according to Barrett, journalists who criticize the TM deserve to die "on the scaffold." Since I qualify as a journalist and have written two Letters to the Editor to my local newspaper blasting the TM (and the paper for publishing what I thought was a very supportive piece on them, on the fifth anniversary of 9/11 no less), I guess that means I'm going to be hung someday if he gets his way. Glad to know I'll have plenty of quality company as they slip the noose around my neck!
Kevin Barrett is sick, and frankly, at least potentially dangerous. I don't know if that's considered ad hominem or something, but it's true, and in my view relevant to this thread. |

Though Barrett's comments are reprehensible, the whole situation is indicative of an evident fact- it is very easy to debunk TT implosions, no plane at Shankville, or those such theories. When it comes to the facts about 9/11, such as foreknowledge, the PNAC doc, WTC7, and others, you have nothing to offer, and decline serious debate. In that respect, you are no better than Kevin Ryan, and, if one can do so..., you do share complicity.

Well, Barrett is off my Christmas card list! He is also moved lower in my list of coolest people on Earth, to 4,269,649,798. Right after Jackie Collins, and before that guy who stepped ahead of me in line at the supermarket.

I'm always a little nonplussed when 9-11 Deniers bring up the "foreknowledge" issue. Did the Czech equivalent of the CIA warn the US that the neocons were planning a false-flag attack? The PNAC document? Amazing how our bosses at the NWO always make things so hard for us to cover up by publishing their plans online, isn't it? WTC7? You haven't read Mark's rather exhaustive treatment of that issue, then?
