MSNBC Features 9/11 Truther to Blame Hurricane Irene on Global Warming…

How fitting.

Via Newsbusters:

On Friday’s Dylan Ratigan Show, MSNBC contributor Touré, who is also a 9/11 truther, wondered if Hurricane Irene is an example of global warming. He speculated, “When you talk about an unusual weather event happening in New York and this sort of thing, is this really evidence of global warming to see this sort of a massive storm happening here?”

Touré is routinely featured on MSNBC, despite his tendency to tweet in support of 9/11 conspiracy theories.

    Another fine journalistic scoop from the mental midgets at MSNBC. MSNBC needs to follow up with Farrakhan to tell their 12 viewers that Irene was caused by the Bush/Cheney/Haliburton Weather Machine that caused Katrina.

    That makes so much sense! I get it. And since George W. Bush flew the planes into the towers that created the pollution which let to Hurrican Irene. So it’s George Bush’s fault.

    @ Gimme..
    It’s as important as “scoops” about Obama’s ice cream cones
    (that come in waves by the MSM). By the way, he seems to stay away from chocolate…and that’s pissing off the CBC and the NAACP.
    I wonder if he EVER eats Oreos…….in front of a camera.

    Well IMO global warming is a result of hell moving closer to America because we have the gory one and the pos and all the sheetheads here. And Jesus in not welcome anywhere! What kind of god would want his devotees to ‘moon’ him….I know the Moon god :)

    Liz is right! It was Cheney and Bush that straddled the
    missile that went into the Pentagon….(ala Slim Pickins)
    and their impersonators are what we see now. The
    question IS….WHO is impersonating B. O. Bama?
    This guy is certainly not the Olympic “10″ that was
    sold to America in 2007-8?

    Toure,

    The plane did appear on video. It left a lot of traces. But see, idiot when a fuel filled aluminum tube hits concrete at 500 miles per hour there isn’t any big metal parts left. Get a clue please.

    It’s all Bush’s fault!

    Yup, a hurricane in NY surely proves that man-made global warming is a reality –
    and since the history of hurricanes in NY goes back over 300 years, the problem obviously started with all those injuns and their smoking wigwams.

    I would take long for the wolf cryers to blame this on GLOBAL WARMING the same way they blammed HURRICANE KATRINA on GLOBAL WARMING and AL GORE is a blabbering nincompoop psycopath

    How is MSNBC putting some idiot like this out there any sort of news?
    Having said that, Im not a truther myself, BUT….

    …if you go look at the pics of the pentagon RIGHT after the explosion, there are no plane parts of any kind, anywhere.
    In ANY plane crash there are some parts thrown here or there. They dont just fall into a neat little pile and burn up, leaving no trace. Not all of the plane is aluminum, and certainly wouldnt desintegrate when it hit the building, either. They recovered part of the planes that hit the twin towers, yet no parts can be found from the pentagon…. and that doesnt sound fishy to anyone??

    And it was NOT caught on film. Anyone with the film footage showing a PLANE actually going into the Pentagon, can feel free to link it. Ive yet to see it.

    A commercial airliner also is going to make a hole bigger than 12 feet across.

    I think theres alot of 9/11 we dont know, and for anyone to completely trust that the GOVERNMENT is going to give us the absolute truth, is not only moronic, but hypocritical, when you figure that most of us spend our days in here bashing the govt and talking about how they LIE to us.

    I think 90+% of what the truthers say is BS, but there are a few things that havent added up by any account and are still unanswered.

    To further prove my point, the GOVERNMENT is trying to convince us global warming is real.
    What more do you need to know about how much not to trust them? I think the whole thing is a rabbit hole, and it just goes deeper and deeper the more you look.

    kansas: 3 things I noted that throw out your little video.
    1. If youll notice she not only says “the wingtips survived”, but you can SEE the wingtips cutting into the concrete wall. If you look at the pictures of the Pentagon, there are NO wing marks of any kind. its as if the wings of the “plane” were removed right before it hit. The wings on a airliner also just happen to have giant ENGINES on them, which would also make an impact of their own. Yet this wasnt evident.
    2. She says “the wall, *designed to move and absorb impact*, had clearly done its job.” It was designed to absorb impact. The Pentagon wasnt.
    Last I checked, the Pentagon wasnt designed to have airplanes hitting it. Its a f*cking office building. Thats all. Noone expects airplanes to be hitting buildings when they design them. Not even the govt.
    3. There is also a tremendous difference between a small fighter, and a huge commercial airliner. Lets fly an airliner full of people and fuel into that wall they made and youd see totally different results. MUCH more weight, more speed, velocity, etc. The Pentagon also has windows, doors, etc. its not 8 feet thick, solid. If it worked like that, then the planes that hit the WTC wouldnt have done the damage they did.
    AND she says it “totally desintegrated”, but thats a lie. watch carefully and youll see the plane come out the backside of the wall, at least part of it.
    Just had to point these out.
    As I said Im not a truther, but I do see things which have not had any rational explanation.

    pfff, at one point in the video they’re standing at the exit hole and right there on the ground is a piece of aircraft wreckage with the distinct polished aluminum of AA and the light green anti -corrosion paint on the other side.

    Anyone ever check out the global warming fear mongering list on yahoo news?
    http://old.news.yahoo.com/topics/climate-change-and-global-warming

    With such fine news as:
    London, August 27 : Researchers have warned that a third of all flora and fauna will become extinct if global warming continues unchecked.

    There are some real gems.

    The weather patterns we have this year are very similar to 1954 in regards to currents, temps, droughts in the southern plains, etc. There were three hurricanes that went up the East coast that year. I wonder if Chris Christy believes this crap too?

  22. Libra says:

    Hurricanes are not caused by global warming. Everyone really knows it’s mad cow disease.

    kansas: 3 things I noted that throw out your little video.

    My “little” video. You fuckstick. I came up with a video of a plane completely disintegrating and you call it “little”? How about this?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mte-YMTelI&NR=1
    And Barb Olsen was on that plane talking to her husband. So where did it go? Seems like you people can write a lot of crap that makes no sense.

    @kansas
    @piglet

    THANKS for the youtube link, VERY informative

    @shadow,
    get your eyes checked pardner, they seem to be out of sync communicating with your brain

    FYI, the Pentagon was built COMPLETELY OUT OF POURED IN PLACE CONCRETE, you idiot, not steel frame with veneer systems like the office buildings today

    the designers were RESTRICTED from using steel because of the shortage during the war

    Also, because of the time frame (18 months, 6.5 million Square Feet) the design was going ON during the entire construction phase. Formed in place Concrete was the only way to be able to Work(mold as you go) the building together as the design was completed(ongoing with the construction)

    do a little research before you come up with this nonsense

    I watched both videos (from kansas and piglet) and SOMEHOW came to very different conclusions

    Weren’t you the same asshole running your mouth about marijuana smokers the other day?

    Maybe you ought to layoff your own drugs when spouting your Truther bullshit.

    “Im not a truther myself, BUT….”

    Bullshit. You’re a Truther.

    So tell me, Truther. Just what DID happen to American Airlines Flight #77?

    Did it just disappear into a wisp of magic fairyland dust? Huh?
    What happened to it?

  29. IXLR8 says:
    August 28, 2011 at 7:10 pm

    If a missle hit the Pentagon, what happened to the fourth hi-jacked plane?

    Where is it?

  30. Herbork says:

    Some ambitious and useful videographer might travel around the country, contacting relatives and friends of all the travelers booked on AAF #77, and ask one simple on-camera question: “Where is (so-and-so)?”
