I have never been a fan of Bill Clinton, but I have to give him credit for a moment of well-placed righteous anger at 9/11 conspiracy ninnies who heckled him at a recent event.
When hecklers claimed that the September 11 attack was an "inside job," Clinton responded angrily:
"An inside job? How dare you? How dare you?"
Clinton's reaction was refreshingly blunt and appropriate.
The 9/11 conspiracy nuts commit a grievous double sin.
First, they viciously slander innocent fellow Americans, accusing them without any valid evidence of having planned and carried out a deliberate mass murder of their own countrymen.
Second, in slandering their fellow Americans, they outrageously excuse men who deliberately murdered thousands of innocent men, women and children in the name of Allah. They go out of their way to give a pass to Osama Bin Laden, Mohammed Atta, the 9/11 hijacker with dead eyes, and 18 other hijackers whose souls were equally dead.
As I've written before,
It is difficult for me to fathom how deeply myopic or empty of humanity a person must be that they can excuse Mohammed Atta and yet condemn George W. Bush.
Either they don't see the difference in the men or they see it but don't care. They don't care that they are choosing to side with men whose hearts smolder with rage like that pit of hell at 9/11 Ground Zero.
In the process, they commit a horrible crime against these:
These are only the victims of the 9/11 attack who did not survive the day. Many thousands more were critically injured, widowed, orphaned, crushed and bereaved.
When you give a pass to the cold, calculating murderers of your own countrymen -- and ooze malice against the decent leaders of your own nation -- what are you?
Bill Clinton deserves praise for an appropriate reaction to a great wrong.
