Reply #22: The biggest straw man used by Truthers is "the official story." [View All]

Whenever a Truther refers to the "official story," you should be suspicious. Truthers love to create bogus, strawman versions of the official story and knock them down. When a Truther refers to the official story, it's anyone's guess as to what he means.

I already cited the "guy in a cave meme" as a whopping big straw man argument. The same goes for the oft-heard "never in history have steel-frame buildings been brought down by fire."

Again, no one ever claimed the Towers, or WTC7, were brought down by fire. The Towers were hit by planes, and WTC7 was hit by a huge chunk of falling building.

The problem, of course, is that there is no document entitled "The Official Story." When a Truther refers to the"official story," it is essential to pin him down and find out what he's talking about, i.e., how does he know this is the official story, what are his sources, etc.
