Turner Channels Ran 9/11 Conspiracy Ad on September 11

Thank you Josh for the tip on this one:
Last Sunday, September 11, at 7:50 PM, leftist kook Ted Turner's TNT cable channel commemorated the 9/11 attacks by airing a commercial created by the tinfoil hat brigade at Reopen 911.org. At least, the commercial ran in NYC. Evidently the ad was also aired on CNN's Headline News, another Turner creation. The point of the commercial: to convince the gullible that it was not passenger jets hijacked by al Qaeda that brought down the World Trade Center, despite what your lying eyes might have told you. It was explosives placed within the building. This belief supports various paranoid conspiracy theories, mainly having to do with President Bush, the CIA, and/or the Mossad.
Before you break out in guffaws, I have personally encountered people dim enough to believe this sort of nonsense. Seeing these ads will add credibility to the schizophrenic fantasies of rabidly anti-American Michael Moore types, who have a disturbingly large audience of intellectually subnormal moonbats who will buy into absolutely anything so long as it makes our country look bad.
But don't look down on the Reopen 911.org folks. As they point out, "Stopping the real terrorists is patriotic." Kind of reminds you of O.J. finding the real killers, doesn't it? Of course, moonbats didn't cause 9/11. But they will do whatever they can to prevent us from preventing it from happening again.
