Jesse Ventura skewers Hannity
Jesse Ventura appeared on FoxNews' Hannity and Colmes this past week to plug his new book Don't Start the Revolution Without Me.
The six minute clip is hilarious and enlightening.
I do not profess to be a Ventura fan, although I am more of one now. He has one of the most interesting resumes of anyone I can think of: Navy SEAL, professional wrestler, Hollywood actor, Governor of Minnesota, bestselling author and pundit.
What I found most telling about the clip is not how Ventura seems to be convinced of many of the same things as I am, particularly involving 9/11 truth, but how Hannity shapes the rhetoric of the interview.
When Ventura poses the question how do 2 planes bring down 3 buildings, Hannity quips they were big planes...there was lots of fire and destruction.
When Ventura answers questions posed by Hannity about 9/11, Hannity turns to the camera and compares Ventura to Rosie O'Donnell.
When Ventura talks about the Towers falling at the speed of gravity, Hannity flippantly responds But if it were true, a lot of engineers would have come out before that.
On the first two points, Hannity comes across as looking plain foolish, like the shill that he is for his masters at Murdoch Inc.
On the third point, however, I am afraid a lot of people might nod their heads and agree.
Let's not stress this enough: people are still afraid to bring this up. A large majority of Americans does NOT believe the official story, statistics show, but think of what would happen to an engineer or scientist or architect if he came out publicly: humiliation? unemployment? destruction of his career? Most people are not yet willing to risk that.
The key is this: we must stop ridiculing 9/11 truth talk. Most of us in this movement are simply seeking answers: we want to know what really happened because the truth does not add up.
The most hilarious part of the clip is when Ventura, based on his short stint with MSNBC, suggests that all news show topics are dictated by management, not by the hosts.
At that point, Hannity asks: are you calling me a liar?
LOL. Yes, Sean, we all know you're a liar.
