Michael Moriarity has lost his marbles...
Yet Not-Too-Breitbart lets him blather. :eyes:

A frequent contributor to Andrew Breitbart's websites said he believes that the September 11 attacks and the Oklahoma City bombing were inside jobs, and suggested he'll feel "comfort" when President Obama is killed.

Appearing on the radio program Deadline Live in February 2007, Michael Moriarty, who played assistant district attorney Ben Stone on Law and Order, was asked by host Jack Blood if he believes "that 9-11 had fingerprints of inside job." Moriarty responded with his "theory" that before 9-11, President "Bush talked to the Bin Laden family in Riyadh" and said he needed "probable cause" to invade Iraq; the "Bin Ladens," in turn, told Bush that "we'll give you probable cause." When asked if he had any doubt that the Oklahoma City bombing was an "inside job," Moriarty replied: "None! There were two seismic reports of explosions, there were no federal -- there were no children of federal employees in the building at the time in the daycare center, and the ATF were nowhere to be found."

Moriarty's 9-11 and Oklahoma City views aren't the Breitbart contributor's only controversial remarks. On Deadline Live, Moriarty said he believes as "fact" that Presidents Clinton and George H.W. Bush were running illegal guns and drugs, and laundering money out of Arkansas. Moriarty has also castigated Islam as "evil" and a "Gestapo."

2. The party's over, Breit-barf -- You're a dead pundit walking.

7. playing a part written by someone else really shouldn't be used as an example
Years ago he did a horror movie called "Q" (it was about a flying serpent plaguing NY, IIRC) and he was doing the talk show circuit to push the movie. And he started spouting all sorts of *conspiracy* theory nonsense back then. The studio stopped his press junket - and he didn't work in mainstream movies for quite some time after that.

He *is* a good actor -- but seems to be quite the nutter in real life. :shrug:

5. What a shame.
He was such a talented actor and he's obviously very sick. I wonder when it all started and what caused it.

6. No wonder why he was replaced by Sam Waterston. Sam also
endorses "The Nation."

11. I vividly remember the first time I saw both actors
It was in an outstanding television production of The Glass Menagerie, starring Katherine Hepburn, Joanna Miles and those two men when they were fresh and full of idealism.

Moriarty's professional and personal decline sadden me when I think back to my initial introduction to him.

12. Let's refresh what's left of that liar's mind (if it has one...)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing

The victims ranged in age from three months to seventy-three, in addition to the fetuses of three pregnant women.
Of the dead, 99 worked for the federal government.
Nineteen of the victims were children, fifteen of whom were in the America's Kids Day Care Center.
The bodies of the 168 victims were identified at a temporary morgue set up at the scene.
A team of 24 identified the victims using full-body X-rays, dental examinations, fingerprinting, blood tests, and DNA testing.
More than 680 people were injured. The majority of the injuries were abrasions, severe burns, and bone fractures.

McVeigh later justified his killing of children in the bombing: "I didn't define the rules of engagement in this conflict. The rules, if not written down, are defined by the aggressor. It was brutal, no holds barred. Women and kids were killed at Waco and Ruby Ridge. You put back in faces exactly what they're giving out."

Now lets see what that liar will say, if anything...

13. He lost his marbles ages ago
He claims he gave up Law and Order because Dick Wolf wouldn't stand up to Janet Reno's censorship of network TV. He blames a lot of people for his problems.
