colbert-dsouza.jpgColbert was in top form last night when conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza came on the show to promote his new book, The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11. In his latest screed, D'Souza, according to Publishers Weekly's review, "roots the blame for the 9/11 attacks in the left wing's 'aggressive global campaign to undermine the traditional patriarchal family'." (emphasis mine) D'Souza's logical (and factual) inconsistencies are too numerous to list so have at it in comments.

While I was watching this, I couldn't help but think of the beatdown both Stewart and Colbert gave Ramesh Ponnuru when he was promoting his new book, The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life. Since we never hosted Ponnuru's appearance on the Colbert Report, here it is in all its satirical glory:

UPDATE: This is Nicole. The site team wanted me to remind our readers that this thread deals ONLY with Colbert's interview with D'Souza and that any and all 9/11 alternative theories brought up in response will be deleted in their entirety. Please respect John's wish to not have 9/11 discussions on his site and please don't make more work for the site team. Thanks.

I posted a comment that was deleted immediately. It makes me sick to read through the comments section of crooksandliars.com.

Yup. That's their favorite. I don't deny the Holocaust happened, and the Nazi Regime murdered 6,000,000 Jews. Just as I don't deny 9/11 happened, and 2,973+ people were murdered. The difference is, I don't think Osama Bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and 19 "radical islamists" were solely responsible, if responsible at all for the attacks.

By the way, 20,000,000 Russians died at Germany's hands. Why is that never brought up?

Ding ding ding!

What I don't understand is, why these people get totally bent over the fact that some people don't believe the "official" version of the events of 911. There is nothing unreasonable in not believing the official story.

After 5+ years of watching this Administration fight against investigating the attacks, and limiting the scope of the investigations, and classifying information, and withholding information, and putting people in charge of the investigations that shouldn't be there, and ignoring whistle-blower testimony, and on and on and on... no, it's not unreasonable to not believe the official story.

Then take into account all of the incriminating information that has come out that was never included in their "investigations."

No, it's not unreasonable at all.

They called them Bolshiveks and gypsies to lessen the blow...it sounds nicer...LOL

20,000,000 is actually a very conservative number. Some go as high as 35,000,000.
