you can always tell whose full of shit by taking a look at the guy who keeps repeating that hes 'right' and 'has balls', 'isnt a coward' and bullshit like that
if you're right you dont need to say it so explicitly and keep on repeating it. someone who truly is courageous never has to utter the word or use it to describe himself.
its as if proclaiming himself as these things is enough in his mind for us to accept him as so.
No, Blumenthal really is a lying bastard. Ziegler comess off in, well, not the best way, but that doesn't make him wrong. Although, I don't know why he'd use his middle name to solicit the interview. Fair enough on that one, but it's still a little unsurprising how many people won't cop to the facts when questioned by John Ziegler. He's very direct, and in one way that's refreshing, but in another it may not work toward his best interests.
@bahdahdoop , why would I defend John Ziegler? Go back and re-read my post. You'll see that I reveal John Ziegler to be nothing more than a Likunik apologist and neo-con pussy.....
@Getsen42 lol, you "revealed" your opinion, Einstein, just as I am. You either know nothing of Max Blumenthal or your bias is so deeply entrenched that you refuse to acknowledge anything bad on the left. Ziegler may be a douchebag, but he has nothing on Blumenthal. It's not even close.
@bahdahdoop , you "revealed" a lot more about yourself in this, your most recent plea for acceptance and attention. You say, "Either (insert stoopid thought) or (insert another stoopid thought)"......see this is called "Black and White Thinking". Similar to many neocon idiots like Bush, Cheney, et al - your limited mental capacity but trek for attention makes you say things like that which have no basis in reality. You like to make up your own reality. You first defend Ziegler, then dismiss.
@Getsen42 Plea for acceptance and attention? What are you talking about dude? You've crossed the threshhold into full-on white noise. Congrats. Also, please research what neoconservatism actually is, and who would qualify to hold that title. Your "Bush, Cheney and all neocons are stupid poo-poo heads" banter sounds like a broken record of ignorance. Nice try at psychoanalysis, but next time you might want to try it on someone you actually know, otherwise you just sound like a little brat.
@Getsen42 Unfortunately, you just illustrated this "Black & White Thinking" quite well but not in the way you probably intended. "Cognitive Distortion" would be a better term btw, however, your term will suffice. Accurate psychoanalysis would require quite a bit more "evidence" than what you seem to be going on. In fact, to come to the conclusion that it's "Black & White Thinking" using such a paltry amount of evidence available to you, would indeed be "Black & White Thinking" :(
@Getsen42 Your reply has very little to do with what I said, why the seemingly instant write-off labeling? (curmudgeon) Are you "trolling" Getsen? :) If not, would you care to elaborate? Although, I'd figure a conversation with someone about all the variations of colors in the sky at any given moment would prove to be quite interesting. Also, I suppose "Anaximander" would be a bit of a curmudgeon if transported to this day and age, lol. If he were to, I wonder how long it'd take him to adapt?
ive heard j z before. hes one of those right wing whackos who cant have an honest a nd nice debate sometimes. he can become a dick head and an asshole and he doesnt really care then
Spengler, you make a valid point: when an audience applauds when one side appears to "win" a particular argument, it's usually due to the biases of the majority of the audience. However, it's the lightning rods of their respective causes/constituencies, the bigmouths, the bullies, the slanderers, that usually draw the biggest responses when they're called out. At least conservatives aren't dangerous; if it was a "liberal" audience, and Ziegler was on the losing end, he'd be in physical danger.
John Ziegler's such a moron. There WAS a "vast right-wing conspiracy" to bring down Clinton. Now, it obviously wasn't ALL conservatives, but a good chunk of influential ones did try to bring the guy down through lies and distortions. It's called THE ARKANSAS PROJECT. In I think 1997 or 98 it was finally exposed by guys like David Brooks (who used to be a conservative who was part of it).
Look it up! It's not that fucking hard to do. Ziegler's intellectually lazy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wow, Blumenthal is a lying little bitch! Its obvious because he scratches his nose at times when he lies which is a big sign that a lie is being told.
Watch when he claims John used a different name as Konrad Ziegler - he scratches his nose to show he is lying to you. Apparently, John Conrad Ziegler is just enough to throw Blumenthal off to where he thinks its a different guy contacting him.
He signed the email KONRAD ZIEGLER. If you he signed John Konrad Ziegler or Konrad "John" Ziegler , you'd be right. But he didn't. It was obvious he was trying to deceive Max into an interview. Furthermore, why did he claim he was a liberal, as his email clearly did?
You're talking as if you either 1) Have seen the actual e-mail or 2) Actually believe that Blumenthal is telling the truth which isn't likely since he is a known liar.
So, which is it?
What probably happened was Ziegler signed it John Conrad Ziegler and Blumenthal lied claiming he signed only Conrad Ziegler.
And of course Blumenthal will lie to you as long as he is able to HIDE the evidence which is the message Ziegler sent him.
I just watched the entire video again and didn't see a "screenshot" of the e-mail in it anywhere. At what point in the video does this screenshot appear?
Also, EVERY TIME Blumenthal claims that Ziegler sent an e-mail signed Konrad Ziegler he touches/scratches his nose which is well known body language that reveals a person is LYING about what they are talking about.
Why do you think BLUMENTHAL's body language is that of a liar at those points in the video?
I was right there and Max had a person filming- apparently, he thinks it was a TKO because he hasn't posted it. Go John go, we are tired of being polite.
Max Blumenthal is an idiot. He's pathetic, its america, learn to deal with free speech, even if its get in your face. The only person he has to blame is himself.
John Ziegler is a pathetic lying shill for Sarah Palin. Oh...poor Sarah. The media gust ganged up on her. Ziegler couldn't carry Max's lunch box. Ziegler hates to be called a "conservative" film maker even though he would more accurately be called a pathetic right wing nut film maker. The real joke is that he and others at CPAC won't Palin to be their leader-along with Bobbi "Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock" Jindal. WHAT A JOKE! Palin is DUMB! She is pathological narcissist DSM IV. look it up!
Max Blumenthal is known to be a liar, so your info is interesting sugarugby, but I have heard stories about him for years. He is being suck a jerk, saying stuff about how Zeigler is going to commit domestic abuse. If he wasn't nice, he would have beat your ass, maxi boy, I would have. " He used his middle nameeee!" What a weinie. I hope he gets the crud beaten out of him.
1:47 "John Ziegler is his name, and he um, had solicited an interview with me,(1:56 touched nose) but I didn't know he solicited an interview with me for a documentary he was making which t I didn't know he was making about the path to 9/11"
Huh???
BTW Maxie Pad your body language gives you away, you shifty eyed little lair @ 1:56 nose touch; People tend to touch their nose and scratch their face when they lie. Follow their eyes, liar then to blink a lot and cannot maintain eye contact. ...
The Path to 9/11 was a JOKE (ABC called it a "drama"), anyone who's ever read the REAL 9/11 Commision Report knows so.
