You've proven the hysterical part, Ebbie, hence the naming of one of the categories of denial after you. As I recall, you and I last interacted when I mentioned Jeb Bush put Florida under martial law (for no reason and for the first time in its history) just days before 9-11, 2001. So, on 9-11, GWBush was in a safe state on maximum alert, while another of his other brothers, Marvin, was running security at the World Trade Centers. For some reason you questioned the veracity of the martial law statement, I directed you to the order itself, posted on the internet, and you exited the discussion. Hysterical deniability. Sad, but maybe the most excusable form of deniability out there. Just a glandular thing, perhaps. Something physical. But I'm not sure of causes on the deniability, I'm just trying to identify the different types. As far as your defense of a man who praises mass-murderer Mao Tse Tung, that gets into the realm of brainwashing. Whole different ballgame.
