[Grateful for Hope]

1. Thanks for posting this, SLaD

Very good news.

:patriot:

[wildbilln864]

2. I'll second that "thank you".

:yourock:

[Flatulo]

3. The video is down...

[wildbilln864]

4. It works now. nt

[Bassman66]

5. Fair play to the Lady

She wants real answers without obstruction from the White House.

Who doesn't?

[wildbilln864]

6. She is a very courageous lady.

She deserves a lot of support. I hope she gets it.

[Mist]

7. Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't know if any pols were interested in pursuing

the truth of 911. Thanks for posting that link.

[SDuderstadt]

8. Well, I'm sure an obscure state legislator from Arizone...

will rocket the "truth movement" forward. Did any of you happen to count all the egregious errors in her little speech?

[Twist_U_Up]

9. spin baby spin......

and baby can you spin.

[SDuderstadt]

11. Are you seriously claiming she's not obscure? n/t

[Twist_U_Up]

12. actually I was thinking that of you

[SDuderstadt]

13. No more so than you are....

and wtf you think that has to do with debate about this matter is beyond me. Simple question: Where are all the high-profile people aligning themseelves with the "truth movement"?

[Twist_U_Up]

14. why? looking to spit on someone else ?

[SDuderstadt]

15. Are you claiming Karen Johnson is "high profile"?

Are you interested in serious debate?

[Twist_U_Up]

21. appearently we havent crossed paths before or you would know,

I dont waste very much time on the obvious.

Bye

[seemslikeadream]

16. spell check

It's a good thing


Of course I actually never would point that out to anyone else but for you I'll make an exception, since you always are such a fanatic about insignificant stuff like that, let's keep it real

[Grateful for Hope]

18. You are not debating the "matter"

You are maligning the Senator by calling her "obscure". What makes one senator more obscure than another? I have always thought that the "Will of the People" in terms of electing their senators makes each one as important as another.

[SDuderstadt]

19. Obscure means hardly anyone knows who she is.....

which is absolutely true. Sorry. I am hardly "maligning" her.

[seemslikeadream]

20. 6,166,318

hardley give or take a few million

[Grateful for Hope]

22. Yes you are. n/t

[Grateful for Hope]

23. You don't know who she is?

ROFL!

[SDuderstadt]

24. Hope...it's real simple....

before you watched the video or saw her name in connection woth the 9/11 "truth" movement, had you ever even heard of her? I'm willing to bet the answer is no, unless you happen to live in Arizona. This is silly. She is an obscure part-time state legislator and is hardly a heavy-weight. In fact, I would be willing to bet that the average american probably does not even know the name of their state senator or state house member. That's obscure.

[AZCat]

26. Why would anyone outside of Arizona know who she is?

It's not like she's a U.S. Senator - she's in the state legislature. I'd be hard-pressed to think of a reason why anyone else would have heard of her.

[SDuderstadt]

27. I'm willing to bet that even a large number of people in AZ...

have no idea who she is.

[AZCat]

29. Probably not.

If she's the state senator I'm thinking of, then more people are aware of her than would normally be. The senator I'm thinking of is fond of promoting idiotic ideas and therefore gets more press than she would otherwise.

[Grateful for Hope]

31. Sad that you malign not only a Senator from AZ

but, also it's citizens. People I have met in person and online from AZ (this includes AZCat) strike me as fairly intelligent and well-informed.

BTW, one DOES NOT have to be well-known in order to be taken seriously. Your attempts to dismiss this Senator from AZ because she is "obscure" are pretty feeble.

[Bolo Boffin]

32. State Senator from AZ. State Senator from AZ. State Senator from AZ. n/t

[AZCat]

33. It's hard to keep track of them all, even for those of us who try to stay informed.

Not all of us are good at remembering names, either. Unfortunately for me, one of the easier to remember members, Jake Flake from Snowflake, just died a week ago of a heart attack. His nephew is a U.S. Representative (Jeff Flake).

[Grateful for Hope]

35. That is understood, AZ.

I guess my point here is that whether or not one considers another "obscure" does not, in any way, mean that what that person has to say should be taken any less seriously than something a more high-profile person might say.

If, on the other hand, there is reason to think that a person is "full of it", based on past experience with that person, then, there might be good reason to discount that person. Ironically, one needs to know of a person before he or she can discount that person.

[AZCat]

36. That's one of the reasons (at least as I understand it)...

why we stereotype people so easily, because judging someone on a few facts allows a person to determine various things (like credibility and trustworthiness) about that person without having to get to know them first. I do it. I imagine we all do to some degree. In fact, I just did it when I read Senator Johnson's profile - I saw she was a Mormon, and thought, "dammit, why do they have to have all those kids?"

[Grateful for Hope]

37. I do my own stereotyping

I am ashamed to admit. But, of course, stereotyping never guarantees an accurate assessment of another.

[AZCat]

38. I came to terms with it a few years ago.

I realized I couldn't stop the initial response, but that I could be aware of this tendency. When I catch myself stereotyping, I try to take a step back and re-evaluate both the target of my stereotype and my approach to that person. It has helped (at least I think).

[Grateful for Hope]

39. Good to hear, AZ

I try also, but, I am not always successful. Being aware of the tendency definitely helps!

[SDuderstadt]

34. For the love of God, Hope....

how is noting that she is obscure "maligning" her? I am simply pointing out a fact. Nor am I, in any way, "maligning" the people of Arizone as I said most people (from ANY state) probably don't even know who their state senator or member of the state house is. And, I'm hardly trying to dismiss her. I am dismissing the "truth movement" for its inability to attract high-profile support. You're making a mountain out of a molehill here.

[seemslikeadream]

25. high-profile people aligning

Cynthia McKinney maybe you've heard of her?

17. Thank you

yes it is interesting

[balantz]

28. No matter who she is or who knows who she is

it's good that the issue is being raised in the halls of government.

[SDuderstadt]

30. 1 down...

49 to go. At the rate the "truth movement" is going, all states will have addressed it by 2354.
