Paul Campos has outdone himself with his recent column “The Cult of 9/11". He states; because only .01% of Americans may have known anyone killed in the 9/11 attack that killed 3,000 innocent Americans and other nationalities who went to work or were visiting the WTC on that day, it is only a very disturbing thing. I guess in his mind because less than .01% of Americans knew anyone killed in the Holocaust, Cambodia, or any of the other mass killings perpetrated on innocent people they also are only very disturbing things. Like more times than not he loads his column with innuendo’s posing as facts, e.g. indiscriminate spying on Americans, torture and other immoral actions continuing to be done in the name of 9/11. Please, Mr. Campos provide us facts if you know them otherwise keep your innuendo’s to yourself. To end his column with a statement that 9/11 is becoming the most overblown and shamelessly exploited event in American history is not only very disturbing it demonstrates his absolute inability to be outraged at any action against Americans that doesn’t fit his politically correct blueprint of what constitutes acceptable behavior.

The man is a fool. He must work for free for the Rocky to keep him on staff. Either that or he's convinced the editorial staff that he's a genius beyond their intellectual capacity and they feel that they're exhibiting the work to benefit society.

I refuse to even look at his sub intellectual drivel.

A good point! Campo's ignorance about the war is apparent, as you aptly suggest.

Paul Campos made the legitimate point that the Bush administration has shamelessly politicized 9/11 and used fearmongering to further its grab for power. Isn't it strange that we were able to defeat Hitler's Thousand Year Reich and Imperial Japan without surrendering our civil liberties? But a bunch of terrorists in caves now scares us into giving Bush an unprecedented amount of power.

We defeated Hitler & Japan without surrendering our civil liberties? The thousands of Japanese-Americans that were tossed into relocation camps would beg to differ. Docjay, drive down east of Lamar to a place called Ameche and learn some history. Maybe Campos and Docjay didn't personally know any Japanese-Americans who had their rights trampled on during WW2 so it didn't really matter. Or is it acceptable for Democrats to violate civil rights like they have so many times?

How many Americans knew someone killed at the Alamo, or at Pearl Harbor.
Never forget
Never forgive

For people like Campos, 9-11 is nothing but an inconvenient truth. It is no more than a "bumper sticker" slogan and TV-event that doesn't fit into his liberal, hate-America agenda.

I expect this sorry socialist Moonbat to soon author a piece on how 9-11 was staged somewhere in Hollywood and, like the moon landing, never reallty happened.

Who gives a damn about what Campos says?. Does it really effect anyone at all, or is it just another minor issue that is blown up into epic proportions by political zealots which insures that Compos achieves the exact opposite of what they want, giving him the opportunity to make a nice pile of cash from the fame they gave him.

>> "Isn't it strange that we were able to defeat Hitler's Thousand Year Reich and Imperial Japan without surrendering our civil liberties? "

Well, except for detention and travel restrictions of American citizens of Japanese, German and Italian ancentry, consumption restrictions, curfews, seizure of private enterprise ...

Hey, let’s all give Docjay a break. He’s simply ignorant.

Docjay,
What civil liberties have you personally lost? Do you know anybody who has personlly lost their civil liberties?

Paul Campos, like Vincent Carroll, who actually believes Popular Mechanics, are just doing what their masters pay them to do, which is to buy the Governments official 9/11 conspiracy fairytale 9/11 story about 19 guys with boxcutters. These guys are not allowed to wite any thing that would suggest otherwise and so they support the media monopoly's 'Code of Silence'
