Doris Lessing: 9/11 "Wasn't That Terrible"

Posted by Dave Blount at October 24, 2007 6:59 AM

Al Gore isn't the only new Nobel laureate who can garner attention by spewing moonbattery. This year's Literature winner Doris Lessing says of 9/11 that "what happened to the Americans wasn't that terrible" compared to the relatively low-key antics of the IRA.

Here she goes:

Some Americans will think I'm crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor as extraordinary as they think. They're a very naive people, or they pretend to be.
Do you know what people forget? That the IRA attacked with bombs against our Government.

Unlike al-Qaeda, which flew a jet airliner into the Pentagon and had another headed toward D.C., almost certainly to destroy another high-profile government target.

But as Rigoberta Menchu and Harold Pinter have proven, you don't have to be a genius to win the Nobel Prize for Literature; you just have to be an obnoxious moonbat.
