Title: Marco Rubio is OWNED by the Faggots! Prominent D's and R's Find Common Ground

On Feb. 24, the Citizens Committee for New York City, a civic group founded in 1975 at the apex of the city’s fiscal crisis, honored the legal giants David Boies and Ted Olson. Paul Singer, the CEO of Elliott Management, presented them with the New Yorker for New York Award. Below are Mr. Singer’s remarks.

It is my honor to present tonight’s New Yorker for New York Award to Ted Olson and David Boies. Ted and David are receiving this award for their tireless work on behalf of marriage equality—the right of gay and lesbian couples to participate equally with straight couples in the institution of marriage.

They are two of the top lawyers in the country, a Republican and a Democrat, but on this issue, there is no division between them. They are united for a cause whose time has come. They had a busy year last year. Among the highlights was their successful advocacy at the Supreme Court in the case of Hollingsworth vs. Perry, which cleared the way for marriage equality in California.

But that wasn’t the only highlight: This dynamic duo was also featured in a star- studded play about the Perry case here on Broadway and in Hollywood. David was played by George Clooney, and Ted was played by Martin Sheen, because Brad Pitt wasn’t available. Actually—true story—Brad Pitt played the judge.

Far from resting on their laurels, Ted and David have continued their work in 2014. Just a few weeks ago, they won the first round in the fight for marriage equality in the state of Virginia—a decision that was handed down, appropriately, on Valentine’s Day.

Most of Ted and David’s recent work has been about marriage equality in other states, not New York. Nevertheless, it is right and fitting that the Citizens Committee has chosen to honor them with this year’s New Yorker for New York Award.

The Citizens Committee is all about supporting ideas that strengthen our neighborhoods and our communities, making them better places to live. And the building block of every community is the family.

New Yorkers understand on a fundamental level that marriage equality—securing for gays and lesbians the basic right to have their relationships and families recognized as a part of a community—makes all of our communities stronger.

The writer Jonathan Rauch summed it up this way: “America needs more marriages, not fewer, and the best way to encourage marriage is to encourage marriage, which is what society does by bringing gay couples inside the tent. I believe a generation from now, gay marriage will be seen as a profoundly traditionalizing act. It will have channeled love into the most powerful social institution on Earth: marriage itself.”

There is a lot of work that still needs to be done, but the wind is at our back, public opinion is increasingly on our side, and the law is opening doors of opportunity that used to be nailed shut. Ted and David’s passionate and eloquent commitment to this cause is a big part of the reason that America is in the midst of a sea change when it comes to gay rights and gay marriage. And it’s a change for the better.

Looks like you are saying that Ted had inside knowledge about the events that were to transpire on 9/11/01 and made sure that his wife would be on American Airlines Flight 77.

That would explain a lot, actually - especially concerning the "alleged" phone calls from her.

The Reported Phone Calls from Barbara Olson

One problem is that, although Ted Olson went back and forth on whether his wife had used an onboard phone or a cell phone, she evidently could not have used either:

  • With regard to the possibility that Barbara Olson had used a cell phone, the FBI ruled this out in 2004, saying: “All of the calls from Flight 77 were made via the onboard airphone system.” 

  • There is also evidence that Barbara Olson could not have made the calls attributed to her in The 9/11 Commission Report: This is the evidence, cited in the Burnett section of Point PC-4: “Cell Phone Calls from the Planes: The Second Official Account”, that the cell phone technology available in 2001 would not have allowed cell phone calls from this airliner. [9]

  • Further evidence that Barbara Olson could not have used an onboard phone to call from AA 77 is provided by a page in the Boeing 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (757 AMM), dated January 28, 2001. The first sentence of this page states: “The passenger telephone system was deactivated by ECO FO878.” (ECO F1463 and F1532 were later orders to remove the phones.) This page indicates, in other words, that by January 28, 2001, the passenger phone system for the AA 757 fleet had been deactivated. [10]

  • The impossibility of Olson’s having used an onboard phone is further supported by a pilot and a flight attendant:

    • After being a fighter pilot, and having attended the US Navy Fighter Weapons School, Captain Ralph Kolstad served as an airline pilot for 27 years, during 13 of which he flew Boeing 757s and 767s for American Airlines. He wrote: “[T]he ‘air phones,’ as they were called, were … deactivated in early or mid 2001. They had been deactivated for quite some time prior to Sep 2001.” [12]

  • There is one more reason to be skeptical about the claim that Barbara and Ted Olson talked that morning by telephone: Neither the telephone company records, nor the Department of Justice phone call records, nor Barbara Olson’s cell phone call records have ever been made public, in spite of the fact that there has been much discussion of the authenticity of the reported phone calls from her. [13]

It's no surprise to see you jump on the "homosexual conspiracy to shoot down a jetliner because it is lighter than their loafers" bandwagon.

Plenty of evidence to support the claim that GW is a homosexual, but that's a different story.

The fact remains that the phone calls could NOT have been made from AA 77 at the time Barbara Olson died.

ALL that means is the reporter who "reported" it told a lie to pump up the public interest angle on his story so it would get more attention and bring more advertising revenue to his bosses,and more money in his pay check.

THAT was and is the conspiracy related to those phone calls. The media knowingly publishes lies as truth to build up their own fame and fortune,and the truth is nothing more than an inconvenience to them.

You're sticking to that line of BS?

The media knowingly publishes lies as truth to build up their own fame and fortune,and the truth is nothing more than an inconvenience to them.

Yet apparently you believe the numerous lies of the media concerning the false narrative of 9/11.

Is it your contention that what was stated in the Boeing 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual was not factual?

Huh? What? I'm sticking up for the media?

How many mainstream media sources have reported the facts that these phone calls could not have been made?

Apparently, this is what you believe.

Ted Olson reported, according to CNN, that his wife had “called him twice on a cell phone from American Airlines Flight 77,” saying that “all passengers and flight personnel, including the pilots, were herded to the back of the plane by armed hijackers,” who had “knives and cardboard cutters.”

Oh I get it, you think the reporter in the article I linked to is a member of the MSM.

Yeah I understand your confusion now - you see there are what is called "mainstream media" sources like CNN, and then there are journalists who work for what we like to call "alternative media" sites which report the truth that the MSM ignores.

You and your ilk probably refer to them as "crackpot conspiracy theory" sites.

I hate to keep pointing this out to you, however you still have not explained how the Boeing 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual was not factual.

Oh, and while you are at it - please tell us all why a flight attendant would make the assertion as well that the phones were inoperative or completely missing.

Flight attendant Ginger Gainer, after reporting that the Boeing 757s prepared for international flights had stickers on the seatback phones “indicating that they were inoperative,” added: “I asked several current and former Flight Attendants for American … who flew domestic … and they all said that they recalled the phones as having been disabled at the time, or gone.” [12]

Maybe you can explain this as well.

A second more serious problem is that the Olson story was contradicted in the FBI’s 2006 report to the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui.

In its report about phone calls from AA 77, the FBI stated that there was one call from Barbara Olson (not two), and that this call was “unconnected,” so that it lasted “0 seconds.” [14] This report thereby contradicted Ted Olson’s report that his wife had made two calls to him, one that lasted “about one minute” and another that lasted “two or three or four minutes.” [15]

i already explained it. Your paranoid mindset won't allow you to accept a simple explanation that a reporter lied to pump up his story to sell more copy,something which they do every day of their lives and you even point out yourself on occasion.

There are NEVER any simple explanations for you. Everything has to be a part of a massive conspiracy,or you just can't get wood.

Uh - no you really didn't.

Instead of trying to come up with an actual rebuttal you decided to double down on your absurd claim that the reporter is "only in it for the money"

Your paranoid mindset won't allow you to accept a simple explanation that a reporter lied to pump up his story to sell more copy....

Geesh - which reporter would that be?

I have three different sources (the Boeing Manual, a flight attendant's admission and the FBI) which show that the PHONES WERE EITHER INOPERABLE OR MISSING at the time of the alleged calls.

And yet you remain adamant in your falsely held belief that the author is just "making shit up" to collect more ad revenue.

Maybe it would interest you to know (if you had actually clicked on the links you would have realized this) that the site does not run ads and accepts donations.

In other words no one is profiting from the site.

This may be hard for you to understand, but there actually ARE journalists who have not sold out to the highest bidder.

Once again the three points that have been already documented as facts.

1. The Boeing 757 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (757 AMM), dated January 28, 2001 states:

“The passenger telephone system was deactivated by ECO FO878.”

This page indicates, in other words, that by January 28, 2001, the passenger phone system for the AA 757 fleet had been deactivated.

2. Flight attendant Ginger Gainer, after reporting that the Boeing 757s prepared for international flights had stickers on the seatback phones “indicating that they were inoperative,” added: “I asked several current and former Flight Attendants for American … who flew domestic … and they all said that they recalled the phones as having been disabled at the time, or gone.” [12]

You really are a cretin,ain't ya?

I claimed THE REPORTERS KNOWINGLY REPORTED THE PHONE CALLS,YOU FUCKING IDIOT!

Never once did I claim the author of this report was lying.

Now,maybe you would like to claim once again that reporters never make anything up,and that neither then nor the editors or owners of media outlets like money?

Maybe it is just time for you to change the lenses on your conspiracy goggles?
