1. Explaining
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 02:01 AM by Chomskyite
I think Bush and his crew were just plain incompetent. Not to be trusted to replace the toilet paper roll much less ensure the safety of buildings in New York.

On EDIT: Oh, I guess it was the first one then, for me.

2. Why the fuck is MIHOP leading?
Are the Freeps/CUnts hitting this poll, or are most of the MIHOP people insomniacs?

4. What do you think MIHOP means?
It doesn't require a missile striking the Pentagon instead of a plane, or controlled demolitions.

To me, it simply means doing more than nothing. And that's where the evidence directs me.

5. I'm uncomfortable about seeing so many MIHOP votes
Since Boortz and Pigboy quote this site so often, and now we have that stupid anti-DU soapbox for Freepers (aka Conservative Underground).

9. MIHOP because
MIPHOP = LIHOP. What's the difference? I really don't think that Bush and Cheney sat around plotting anything explicitly, but if you believe that...
A: the PNACers were waiting for a "new Pearl Harbor"
B: they knew something was going to happen and they let it happen and
C: the Bush family has ties to the Saudis and the Bin Laden family
...then there really is no difference between LIHOP and MIHOP.

I don't care if it wasn't a specific plan outlined in a memo. In this instance the effects of making something happen vs "letting it happen" are equivalent as are the underlying intentions.

13. Well, if it bothers you so much
maybe you shouldn't post this kind of poll.

By the way, if this had happened under Clinton how many of them do you think would be talking MIHOP? I mean their still trying to drag out that Vince Foster thing .

The fact is that a. they are more wacko than we are by far, and b. they're going to think we're wacko no matter what we say. They think we're wacko just because we don't like Bush.

I think we should spend less time worrying about what they think of us, and find some way to get out to the media some of the extremely wacko things that they say and write.

11. Been around awhile.
Why MIHOP? Because the monkey princes' evil uncles (Powell, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al) have been around the hill since the Nixon administration and I find that suspect. Bastards just won't quit, gotta wonder what drives them.

3. Why MIHOP over LIHOP?
For me, a few things.

First, great benefit to bush and his "associates."

Second, the way the towers fell - obviously a controlled demolition. And the smaller tower that went down, in the same manner, I believe, that wasn't even hit.

Third, Atta's passport that miraculously survived the tower-toppling inferno.

Fourth, the almost immediate announcement of who the hijackers were - names and all. (Some of those later found to be alive and well, if I'm not mistaken).

So many other bits of fact that can only make sense in a MIHOP circumstance.

And I'll add the anthrax letters as circumstantial indicator of MIHOP as well. The great benefit of those letter attacks went to bush and his agenda in cowing the Congress, pushing thru patriot, etc. And they were written to indicate an Arab source, tho the endless investigation has focused on domestic sources. Last I read about this, it had been determined the anthrax had come from a US military lab. And if that was an effort on the part of those who stole the WH to further some secret agenda, why not 9*11 as a part of that plan?

The tin foil hat is becoming all the fashion rage, no?

8. What does "LIHOAOBCFI" stand for exactly?
I can guess what the general GIST of that abbreviation is, but what words does it stand for?

10. LIHOAOBCFI definition:
Let It Happen On Account Of Being Crazy Fucking Idiots.

That's pretty much where I'm leaning.

14. MIHOPer's are coo-koo for cocoa puffs, end of story.
Edited on Sat Apr-10-04 06:17 AM by EDT
I have a running list I cut and past everytime I read someone screaming MIHOP frantically here.

Whenever I read an interesting post unrelated to MIHOP, before I quote it in an argument with someone, I check my MIHOP list and don't bother if the originator is on it. MIHOP is a good litmus test of anger with sanity vs. anger with coo-koo-ity taking over.
