The first line of defense I most often see employed when a logical argument for 911 Truth is made to sheeple (or shills), is ad-hom ridicule - smear the messenger as whacked-out paranoid tin foil hat off meds lunatic fringe nut-job CTist yada yada. Of course this is an appeal to base emotion, the charge being that the Truther's mental faculties are lacking, and who doesn't fear that about themselves, whether the Truther or any observers of the dialog?

So I was happy when videos like this started being produced by Truthers,

... which, rather than taking the usual logic/reason/evidence/science approach to 9/11 Truth, it takes the 9/11 Truth opponents' tact: ridicule of those who believe the Official 9/11 CT.
