I never could stand this guy, but Jesus Christ…

The Forward reports,

Rabbi Michael Lerner, the longtime activist and editor of Tikkun magazine, has published an essay saying he is open to the possibility that the American government may have been behind the September 11 terrorist attacks. “I would not be surprised to learn that some branch of our government conspired either actively to promote or passively to allow the attack on 9/11,� Lerner wrote in an essay published in the new book, “9/11 and American Empire: Christians, Jews, and Muslims Speak Out.� Lerner added that he would also not be surprised if it turned out that the attacks were not the result of a government conspiracy.

“I am agnostic on the question of what happened on 9/11,� he wrote in his essay for the book, which includes articles by other contributors arguing that a government conspiracy was behind the September 11 attacks[…]I salute the people in this collection of articles who are doing an amazing job of examining what may prove to be one of the most perverse conspiracies in the history of democratic governments,� Lerner wrote.

Asked about this passage, Lerner responded, “It says ‘may.’ This is very tentative. It’s not like what I believe to be.� He added: “This is like a bone thrown to them to say, ‘Well, sure, keep up the good work, go and investigate.’ I don’t feel that this investigation is going to lead any place, but it might, and if it does, I don’t think that it’s going to produce a conspiracy of the president and the vice president…. I would be surprised if that turned out to be true. So maybe I shouldn’t say, as I said before, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised.’ I guess I would be a little surprised.�

Yes, maybe you should have thought about what you were writing before you suggested it was perfectly natural for 9/11 to be an inside job, you shmuck.

This guy has ALWAYS been a joke, but if anyone thought he was harmless, let it be clear, this guy is bad news.
