		<description>Dear criticalthinker,

I am not one to cling on to any conspiracy theory, but you forgot the biggest smoking gun of all...

Absolutely no investigations done on the biggest attack on our country. 

Instead we sent all the rubble to china to build more crappy children&#039;s toys filled with lead to kill our babies... Nice!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And our own government is NOT the enemy, regardless of how much the kook left would like to think it is.

O. Bigfoot&lt;/blockquote&gt;

O Dear... O Bigfoot...

Of course it does not take much to strike terror in the US. Just look what good &#039;ol Conservative Timmy McVey did with cow turd.

But comparing all the data on the 911 terrorists that was available to this administration to a 4 year old document extracted by a detainee, that does not even &quot;match&quot; what even happened, is hillarious. 

First off... stop labeling us as Liberals like some racist. We are &quot;We the People of this United States&quot;. And No... we never say that our Government is our enemy, that is a Republican saying that started with good ol Reagan.... remember? 

We love Government. It is this lying administration that the majority of the population of &quot;We the people&quot; despise. Maybe if they would stop lying to us on a daily basis, and destroying our economy on a daily basis, and spreading fear on a daily basis... maybe then we could actually take this propoganda for a grain of salt.</description>

		<description>republicans hate facts,

Nice post.  I&#039;m a life long Democrat.  I oppose the President and have put my time in marching against the war in Iraq.  The point is, if you don&#039;t the intellect to argue a point with facts you are doing a disservice to the overall message of the party.  You, and apparently many others, have somehow confused verbally abusing people with holding strong to your convictions.  Yes, the right is famous for this.  Be better than what you oppose or just become it.

Thanks.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;I wonder how much the insurance company paid them to say that. It doesn&#039;t take a genius to see that it&#039;s all about the $$$s. They not going to cover anyone now because it was not a fire but a terroist attack, an act of war and that is not insurable.

Sad, sad country we are living in.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>The main problem is that Katrina sucked the moisture from other areas.  California is just one of them.  So the place got so dry, that fires were inevitable.  Every hurricane makes California more combustible.  A few more like Katrina, and I&#039;m sure some of the inactive volcanoes in California will come back to life spewing lava.</description>

		<description>Well, if Al-Qaeda didn&#039;t mention California as a potential target of their arson, that&#039;s good enough for me.  So far, they&#039;ve been keeping to their word very well.  I&#039;m sure they wouldn&#039;t do anything in California without at the very least getting the name of the state right.</description>

		<description>The essence of terrorism is that it causes damage and people will KNOW that the damage was intentional.  If Al Qaeda started a wildfire, and people thought that the wildfire was an act of nature, then by definition it would not be terrorism.   As it is, people feel a sense of loss and perhaps of fear, but it doesn&#039;t cause that frisson of &quot;They have struck again -- when and where will they strike next?&quot;</description>

		<description>O. Bigfoot, I hate to burst your bubble about the Fox News ratings, but...

While&#039;s it&#039;s true that Fox posts higher ratings, Fox ACTUALLY has fewer viewers than CNN.

You see, Nielsen calculates a couple of different types of ratings and one of those -- probably the most important, but a bit more complicated and, as such, less reported -- is the CUME rating.  

The cume rating is based on the numbers of people who actually tune into a channel, even if only for a couple brief minutes to catch up on the news, while the ratings share is merely a daily average, geared toward those who spend more time planted in front of a specific channel --

-- Like, for example, Fox News watchers, who have so much time on their hands that they have nothing better to do than sit mesmerized by the bright shiny moving things on their TV screen.

I know I&#039;ve probably lost you already, because this post requires you to think just a bit, but CNN REGULARLY posts about 20% MORE ACTUAL VIEWERS than Fox.

You see, when you live in a color world, black and white just doesn&#039;t cut it anymore.</description>

		<description>&gt;No one has rescinded our habeas corpus rights.

Gosh will you forgive us if we dont take our legal advice from someone who thinks theres any basis in the costitution for giving constitutional rights only to citizens? Do you recall the last time anybody was required to produce proof of citizenship before they were allowed to plead the 5th?

&gt;There is no reason to immediately denounce any theory as
&gt; to the start of these fires.

Good so you wont mind if newscasters give some time to the &quot;blackwater started the fires to distract from reports of the civilians they execute for not moving out of the way of thier vehicles fast enough&quot; theory, right?

&gt; And our own government is NOT the enemy, regardless of how much the &gt;kook left would like to think it is.

Remind me where they determined the anthrax originated from again? Remind me of the political affilitation of every senator who was sent anthrax?
 
 
&gt;And howâ€™s that conversion to Islam coming? Looking forward to your &gt;virgins?

Bigfoot where do the turks about to bomb iraq and the kurds who shelter their terrorist targets fit on your black and white &quot;with us or against us&quot; chart?</description>

		<description>America Wake up.  Haven&#039;t you learned that Al-Qaeda and terrorism has been designed to put fear into the American people and to dissolve our liberties.  You must not pay attention to what really goes on here.  Ever heard of the Patriot Act, Real ID cards, the North American Union.  You better wake up.  If these fires are done by a organization it is for controlling the American Citizens.  Who would want to do that?  hmmmm  Punch &quot;Zeigeist the movie&quot; into your search engine and watch it or watch clips on you tube about the &quot;Real ID Act&quot;, and the &quot;North American Union&quot;.

You must not pay attention to what really goes on here.  Ever heard of the Patriot Act, Real ID cards, the North American Union.  You better wake up.  If these fires are done by a organization it is for controlling the American Citizens.  Who would want to do that?  hmmmm  Punch &#8220;Zeigeist the movie&#8221; into your search engine and watch it or watch clips on you tube about the &#8220;Real ID Act&#8221;, and the &#8220;North American Union&#8221;.   Like America?  It won&#8217;t be here for long.  Get educated.  Al-Qaeda is a spoof, its really the man behind the curtain.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4131983', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Wow.  It&#039;s truly sad to see that the Left has been reduced to the same level of name calling and bullying as the Right.  I don&#039;t think the term &quot;Progressive&quot; fits when your rhetoric hits this level.  The country keeps getting more partisan and the level of discourse continues to deteriorate.  What the heck happened to us?</description>

		<description>It matters a lot if the fires are classified as an act of terrorism.  

There is an option when buying insurance to accept or reject coverage for acts of terrorism.  It costs more money to get the coverage.

If these fires are classified as terrorism, a lot of people will not have insurance coverage.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Sure, Iâ€™ll cite ratings. You folks are so fond of citing your polls in your attempts to justify your hatred of George Bush and the United States, then I will cite my polls which show how wrong you are.

Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” October 24, 2007 @ 10:56 am&lt;/em&gt;

I hate the United States?  Bite me.  No, I hate what you and every other idiot who blindly follows their leaders without questioning anything are doing to this country.  A president with unlimited powers and unanswerable to any law?  Fine and f----g dandy with you.  Invading a country that was not a threat to us?  Fine and dandy with you.  Having the option of claiming Executive Priviledge and National Security are the two best friends the Bush administration could ever have dreamed of.  And you can just STFU about &quot;Bush haters&quot; as the Left had to put up with more than their share of Clinton haters in the 1990s.   Within the first few months of his first term people were ready to kick him out of office, with a few Republicans mumbling about impeaching him and how to accomplish it.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;It seems that if it were up to liberal/progressives, the whole possibility of terrorist arson would be ignored.

Are you folks really sure whoâ€™s side your on?

Comment by O. Bigfoot â€” October 24, 2007 @ 10:09 am&lt;/em&gt;

I thought the terrorists hated us for our freedoms and wanted to kill as many people as possible to make a statement.

So how is starting a fire going to embolden terrorists and let them claim victory over America?  How many people do you expect to die and why aren&#039;t the terrorist going after big numbers?  Are the terrorists ignorant enough to think that they could catch over 900,000 people (the # evacuated as of this morning) off-guard by setting a fire and hoping no one would notice? 

Quick, Bigfoot, call the White House and tell them to investigate the fires as a possible act of terrorism, because after watching anything other than Fox Noise, I haven&#039;t seen anyone in the government suggest terrorism is behind this.</description>

		<description>Santa Anna winds?  Yep...al Qaeda.

It has been raining in Northeast TN and Southwest VA for the past 12 hours.  We haven&#039;t seen the likes of that in 4 months.  Must be terrorist activities.  I think I saw a plane circling overhead seeding the clouds, hoping for a flood.</description>
