Why does Charlie Sheen hate America???

March 25, 2006 9:36 PM

Charlie Sheen does a radio interview with fringe journalist Alex Jones questioning the official story of 9/11, whether the US Government was involved in the attacks. Interesting.

Apparently, A.J. Hammer, host of CNN's Showbiz Tonight shares an interest in the "9/11 truth" phenomenon, at least enough so to cover the Sheen story (transcript)

Mirrored videos of the segment are here (windows media), here (windows media), here, (rm) and here. (mov) This is where it gets even more interesting... CNN is running a poll asking the question: "Do you agree with Charlie Sheen that the U.S. government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks?" Out of the 43,000 or so to respond so far, 84% say yes...

As if that's a scientific poll, rather than one for entertainment purposes only? Who cares?

"Actor Charlie Sheen has joined a growing army of other highly credible public figures" (second link)

Actors? Credible? I'm not saying he's wrong... or right really... but... "credible"?

Well, Americans have long distrusted their government:

So what ?

Even if a majority of Americans believe in a US government conspiracy around 9-11, that consensus will not easily translate to any clear political effect : such beliefs are distributed all along the political spectrum.
