Does Sanity Matter?

By Robert Parry
October 29, 2010

As satire has done through the ages, Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” has found a comedic way to focus national attention on a serious issue: Will the United States begin acting like a responsible force in the world or will it continue to wander off into its own ghastly dreamscape?

Read on.

Denying the truth that the official story of 9/11 is completely false makes the author of this article as insane as those he criticizes.

Either we learn to admit when we're wrong, or nothing will ever change.

"As we also have seen with some of the conspiracy excesses of the 9/11 truther movement, anti-empiricism is not a monopoly of the Right."

Apparently, your sense of irony knows no bounds, Mr. Parry.

Perfectly sane and reasonably intelligent, and educated people asked a few questions about 911, and what happened to them? You and the rest of the so-called alternative press went right along with the "FCM" and called them all nuts and crazies and fools.

Even the scientifically peer-reviewed conclusions of these "wackoes" have been held up to ridicule, or simply ignored, because you and others like you are afraid of losing what little cache you still have in mainstream journalism.

In future, try to do two things: Face facts, then report them.

To answer your question: Not here, obviously.

If someone want to confirm her on own bias regarding the republicans landslide victory on November 2, no need for the right- wing-propaganda-machine, just read the New york Times.

Many people don't really care about sanity or insanity they just want the democrats out and tea party-republicans in.

So you want truth, but again can't tolerate someone having any truth other than yours: that you bought the whole 911 whitewash from the Bush years. What a mockery!

"As we also have seen with some of the conspiracy excesses of the 9/11 truther movement, anti-empiricism is not a monopoly of the Right."

You deserve to be frustrated by the MSM, Mr. Parry, as you are still a part of them.

Empirical evidence is why I don't believe the official story of the events of September 11. To believe the unbelievable is to be an anti-empiricist.

Probably something very important to Mr. Parry depends for its existence on his reliably repeating that TEENSY little statement about one of the most cataclysmic events in American history.

I am so angry. I have tried to get in touch with you by ordering a new password, it comes and doesn't
work. Then you shift me from one screen to another and not the one I want. It seems like you don't want me to stop my recurring donations. Your commentary does not support my views and I want to discontinue giving. Now it appears that I'm being scammed, and I don't like it! DISCONTINUE REMOVING MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY!
