Hilarious. The person complains about your use of labels and then 
proceeds to call you a liberal neocon.

I called Tony Snow in a chat message today by a local 9/11 conspiracy 
zealot. I blocked messages from him and then he proceeded to create 3 
new profiles which he used to insult me. After he threatened to continue 
calling me names using chat for the rest of the day, I just turned 
Trillian off.

I had the misfortune today to hear something called "Pacifica Radio 
News" with some woman named Avery Brown. This news piece was supposed to 
be some kind of news update, but this afternoon's installment devoted a 
minute to replaying audio from the Loose Change video that was aired on 
Democracy Now this morning.

So I switched stations to 96.5 The Buzz. I was getting tired of the 
white liberal hippy music anyway.

Is the 9/11 crap popular on other Pacifica affiliates as well? Doug has 
talked about stations using 9/11 conspiracy videos to raise money during 
pledge drives.

I hope that this 9/11 stuff fades into the woodwork after this week. 
It's really sad to see so many intelligent comrades get suckered into 
believing this nonsense. It's like watching a bunch of your atheist 
friends start going to the local Southern Baptist church.
