RW talk host compares WI prof questioning 9-11 story to holocaust denial

[bobbieinok]

I don't know which one it was; I was searching the dial for something reasonable to listen to.

He was discussing the instructor at WI and said letting this guy teach a course was the same as letting a holocaust denier teach a course. (I was told by a student some years ago that a friend at the U of CO had a prof who told the class that there would be no discussion/mention of the holocaust in class b/c 'everyone knows it's a made-up story.')

1. this winger made a mistake--he doesn't want righties getting curious

about this stuff.

A lot of otherwise very conservative people get way into the JFK assassination stuff, and it's not hard to imagine this catching on with them since there is a lot more evidence to work with. At the very least, the warnings, changes to intercept procedures, and the collapse of WTC 7 should give righties pause.

2. They Have to Protect Their Worldview...

and keep their heads firmly in the sand, otherwise the cognitive dissonance (which would be truly great since the difference between their worldview and reality is enormous) would be too painful to endure. Actually, they're so sensitive to such things... just the idea that someone else might have a different understanding of reality would scare them so much they'd desperately seek to stop the pain (by their standard technique of destroying whatever causes them pain).
