Counterpunch is not liberal it is Left-wing, liberals are those guys Phil Ochs sang about

[S2Cents]

Pronounced co-burn. He's Irish.

30,000 viewers on US military bases! I am surprised, but also somewhat relieved that at least 30,000 troops can possibly think for themselves.

Funny how Bush fought an investigation into 911 for 411days-well over a year-WHY?

Didn't he want the TRUTH to get out about how many US Citizens were killed on 911?

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HUNG FOR FUCKING TREASON.

Why wouldn't BUsh testify Himself-under Oath?guilt? Fear he'd fuck up the story like he usually does? Why did BushAND CHENEY have to appear together-not under oath-behind closed doors with no recording of the meeting?GUILT & COVER-UP IS FUCKING OBVIOUS YOU LYING SHILLS.

@S2Cents Counterpunch-"911 conspiracy nuts"have no knowledge of military matters,no conception of evidence,&no grasp of the real world.

Members such as,Col.Robert Bowman-HeadofStarWars-AndreasV­onBulow,Gen.LeonidIvashov,CIA Analyst Ray McGovern,Col.George Nelson,Col.RonRay,RobertDavidS­teele-CIA,Capt.RussWittenberg,­Col.AnthonySchaffer,&hundreds of engineers-architects-scientist­s-Government Whistlblowers-TopSecretFBI translators-SibelEdmonds-MI-5,­MI-6 He's a MORON to come out with such statements.

[cadu1995]

@S2Cents Nothing like disagreeing when you know NOTHING of the FACTS.He didn't read 1 book on 911 Truth movement but just spoke out his ass about 911 when he didn't know anything about it. I love EXPERTS who think they know everything about everything- with no RESEARCH. lol Must be nice to be god.

At the time he came out with that ridiculous statement HE DIDN'T DO ANY HOMEWORK.

The New Pearl Harbor Revisited-DavidRayGriffin page18 Introduction

Read it yourself & see what a fool he was.

[S2Cents]

@cadu1995

He disagrees. Cockburn is not a moron. He disagrees. A lot of people across the political spectrum and of varying degrees of intelligence do not believe there was a plot by the government. Maybe they are wrong. But you are certainly wrong to claim Cockburn hasn't done homework.

[cadu1995]

@S2Cents Irish?iT'S cock-burn THEN lol

sCOTTISH actually.

[cadu1995]

COUNTERPUNCH? This asshole is a fucking LIAR who denies there were EXPLOSIONS in the Towers on 911.And ALL involved in 911 truth knew nothing about Military Affairs when many people are Active Or Retired Air Force with 35 years as Commercial Airline Pilots & Government whistleblowers. What an IGNORANT ASSHOLE to come out with that with NO RESEARCH.

CIA analyst Ray McGovern-Col.RonRay,RobertDavi­dSteele,Capt.RussWittenburg with hundreds of other professional SCHOLARS.This guy is a fucking MORON.

[flimpkin4]

This guy's articles (each Friday in CounterPunch) are freakin literature. Some people are obviously born writers.

[Superputazo23]

why does this man have a burned down cock?

[pilkingtonphil]

Forest-Cock? Why on earth would you choose a name like Forest-Cock...

For shame, my friend, for shame!
