129. What amazes me is the ferocity with which people who claim to be
liberals, Democrats or "one of us" defend the party line. The fact is WE DON'T KNOW WHY PAUL WELLSTONE'S PLANE CRASHED.

It could have been pilot error. It could have been bad weather. It could have been an assassination. All are valid theories. Bad weather and piliot error are more likely causes when you consider the rarity of political assassinations. On the other hand, the extraordinary circumstances of the crash and the media conspiracy that followed point a big finger at foul play.

But people can't even SPECULATE about assassination without being attacked and compared to creationists by idiots who are CONVINCED that whatever the government and the media reported is the truth. Then they start throwing around terms like "logical fallacies" in an attempt to make themselves look like powerful thinkers when they're really overpowering fools.

This raises some interesting questions. Has any U.S. citizen ever been killed as the result of a conspiracy involving the federal government? Can any rational person believe the federal government's explanation of 9/11? Do people who have blind faith in the government and media have all their marbles?
