about the 911 and thinks it is not a conspiracy? He gets very angry when someone brings it up.

1. That's very curious, just heard it and have heard it before...
He really FREAKS about any 9/11 truth material... But, don't forget, he's a former Repuke and his show is owned by Product First, a company owned by Eddie and two of the slimiest former Clear Channel execs... Clear Channel is a BushCo ally.

3. He seems to get so angry...
and you can tell he is holding back from what he really wants to say. He wanted to curse at the last guy I heard...

2. Excellent question.
For which I believe I already have an answer.

But who am I to impugn the motives of a Great American?

4. you don't have to impugn his motives ...
give your thoughts good or bad...I am asking because everytime the subject comes up he seems as if he is about to explode,and tries to maintain his composure...

5. If I had to venture a guess -
I'd say that Big Eddie is looking out for Big Eddy and nobody else and he strikes me as "Limbaugh in Drag" so to speak.

I've heard him sneak in so many subtle right-wing talking points that I no longer believe a word he says.

So it doesn't surprise me at all that he goes into Yosemite Sam mode when a little truth is revealed.


Is that thought good or bad?


:)

8. The great thing about Eddie
is that we hear the D's talk on his show. That is what I enjoy most. If he has to keep it in the middle to give the D's in congress some positive airtime, then so be it.

If he didn't get them on, then that would give more space for the R's and their talkingheads.

6. I feel the same as he at times
He has issues with it, but doesn't think it is the best use of the time. I am not listening now, but know what you guys are talking about. I believe he is trying to stay in the middle and not let either extreme get too much air time.

Many people are tired of the conspiracy theories and tune out. He is trying to keep it in the middle.

Not that I agree, but if I were trying to grow my radio show, I would keep it in the middle too.

7. Maybe it makes him mad because he doesn't believe it
was a conspiracy?

Maybe it makes him mad because deep down inside he does believe it was a conspiracy but he can't accept it?

9. I think he wants to be THE voice for the democrats
and doesn't want to be grouped with the move-on, Micheal Moore "far left".

I think he wants to be the mainstream voice for the democratic party.

11. As a former freep, his basic need for authoritarianism and blind
trust of the government blinds him....hasn't been completely healed yet.

12. since he has never bothered to study any of the evidence (it seems)
he is afraid he will look stupid when someone tries to bring up an anomaly and he won't know whether it's true or not. He will be at the mercy of the rad fringe, and being a centrist, he will go all "oh, nobody but a conspiracu theorist could believe that"

Unfortunately, the idea that 19 Arabs highjacked our airliners and flew them into history is alos a conspiracy theory. It's merely one proposed by The Establishment, which Ed finds a very nice foundation to hide behind.
