Shock: today’s Murdoch owned highly conservative New York Post features an opinion piece backing Michael Moore’s Bush-Saudi claims from “Fahrenheit 911.” It’s the main story on the Post’s website with a huge photo and prominent placement. The story is also featured in a color block headline on the front page of today’s paper.

Moore must get a lot of satisfaction out of this. It’s only taken a decade for a conservative pundit writing in a conservative newspaper to endorse his movie.

Indeed, Paul Sperry’s editorial is a direct echo of a 2003 Vanity Fair story by Craig Unger, author of the book that was the underlying information for the Oscar winning movie. That book was called “House of Bush, House of Saud” and it still available for Kindle. The Vanity Fair article was called Saving the Saudis, publishing ten years ago. Here’s the link: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2003/10/saving-the-saudis-200310

Today’s piece by Sperry is shocking first because he is a conservative. But second, Sperry’s piece questions why huge portions of a Congressional report about 9/11 remain redacted– blacked out–in his piece called “Inside the Saudi Cover Up.”

UPDATE- Paul Sperry responds: “Unger and Moore have their own agendas. mine aligns with the FBI WFO case agents and FCPD* detectives who say they’ll never forgive the Bush admin for throttling their investigation of leads back to Saudi Embassy and Bandar himself in McLean. they view the former POTUS as a traitor.”

1. When the Official "Bush/PNAC Glee Club" accepts the basic tenant of 9/11 LIHOP....

...it might be time to apologize to all the "DU Truthers" sent to the Dungeon over the past 12 years.

5. Free the Truthers from the DUngeon !

2. Why do some people refer to specific columnists by the name of their newspapers?

If Eugene Robinson and George Will say something good and bad about Obama, in that order? what title should I use in an internet post?

"Washington Post' praises and slams President Obama?

I would probably stick with mentioning the specific columnist (in this case, Paul Sperry of the New York Post) instead of pretending his parents named him "NY Post".

It is very likely that many New York Post columnists disagree with Moore's view.

So implying that the NY Post and Michael Moore share the same views on 9-11 is highly misleading.

3. I tried to copy most of how Michael Moore posted it on Facebook.

9. When a paper with a dedicated agenda such as the NY Post publishes something,

it is serving as a filter. The medium is at least as important as the messenger in such a case.

6. once it's too late they can admit it--when would we have learned about Iran-Contra

had Hasenfus not been shot down? they confess, and then their flacks say "see! it's impossible to keep up a coverup! all the plots being revealed means there's no more plots to be revealed! YOU WOO-SLINGING RACISTS"

8. Too many people act like none of that stuff is possible because God wouldn't allow it.

7. To my memory,

...Michael Moore is the only private American citizen to be attacked by a sitting President from the podium during a State of the Union Address.

THAT is how much they fear Micheal Moore.


This is a difficult claim to Fact Check without reading every State of the Union Address every delivered,
so I added the disclaimer above "To My Memory".

I remember how pathetic it was for a President to attack a private citizen during a SOTU.

12. I'm not aware of such incident. Can you provide details or a link? Thanks.

10. Lady Gaga is so hot

The Post is just blowing with the political winds to sell newspapers

From olive oil to whale blubber to coal to petroleum to wind and solar

There is an economic and financial elite making money from energy

because the whole world runs on it

Saddam had a lot of oil and gold and money

He doesn't have it anymore

[Berlum]

11. Repubicon Occultist Crony Cabalniks are so cold...

...to do what they do.

13. Fastest way to dicredit someone/something: Have nutjobs and known liars endorse it.

14. Hmm, reading in "Dirty Wars", by Jeremy Scahill, sheds a differing light on Anwar al-Awlaki ...>

No doubt was murdered by a U.S. drone attack in Yemen. Although he was an American citizen, never got due process .. I am still scratching my head as to what role he really did play in assisting the hijackers. Scahill purports that Awlaki's involvement with these hijackers was coincidental if not circumstantial.

15. But I want to know

What went wrong with/for Lady Gaga?

[Berlum]

16. She failed to 'get it' about the Republicon cabal and 9/11?

17. NYT musta missed it.
