Honest Question about 9/11 Films
Why is it that we can litter GD up with discussions about a BULLSHIT propaganda film put out by ABC, but as soon as someone posts ANY FORM of comment about Loose Change 2E, even if it's just to comment about its popularity on Google video (now at 877,777 views), the thread is sent to the 9/11 dungeon?

If this site is to be consistent in its dealings with 9/11 conspiracy theories, should not ALL discussions on the topic be treated equally. Am I missing something here?

3. It's like mentioning the mythology of religion
It gets the thread buried.

I, like most people, only visit GD, so, when a thread gets moved, it's pretty much dead.

4. probably a few reasons
1 is the absolute kookiness of some of the crap. The Naudet brothers' film was staged and the firefighters killed their own chaplin? Give me a break. There were no planes? Some of that stuff is so far off the wall it would suck in people in GD like a blackhole into the depths of flame wars that could last years. Something so sensitive deserves it's own forum where that is the main topic.

2 - WE at DU are trying to move the ABC film to the TV dungeon for the same reason (IE - get them not to show it).

3 - F9/11 and Loose change are seen as just as biased as this film is seen as being. Look at who was behind each, the message each one promotes, etc (regardless of actors or not there is a slant and a little playing with facts)

4 - this is not really about 9/11, it is about a propoganda film being pushed near an election.That film uses 9/11 but in the end the film is a political commercial.
