sounds like this bart sibrel guy deserved what he got

[ManaByte]

Oh god Bart Sibrel needs to fall into a woodchipper.

Ian Punnent foolishly had him on Coast to Coast back in March, and holy fucking shit was the guy a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. He was owned on air by callers, including one who personally saw every single original photo from the Apollo missions for a book he wrote. Sibrel was so fucking distinguished mentally-challenged he disregarded all evidence that showed him to be such an idiot. One of his biggest stupid comments was that Neil Armstrong never appeared on camera for a NASA production for an interview, despite the fact that Armstrong was interviewed for NASA's "When We Left Earth" mini-series on the Discovery channel LAST YEAR.

This video is too awesome. And Buzz should've just tossed Sibrel into a woodchipper right then.

What a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. Out of the popular conspiracy theories, this or 9/11 have to be the two stupidest. I believe in UFO's, there's a lot of accounts out there, but this stuff has pretty much nothing to go on.

[cool breeze]

You can tell that guy had this entire scene planned to go and expose the "truth".  It's a good thing Buzz and his man fist was there to save the day.

[Great Rumbler]

Help me out here, guys:

On the one side you've got an amateur filmmaker.

On the other you've got an Air Force pilot who flew 66 combat missions in Korea, flew F-100 Super Sabres as a flight commander in Germany, earned a doctorate in astronautics at MIT, served as a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base, and who flew the last Gemini mission and proved the viability of working outside of a spacecraft.

I just don't know who to believe here.

ahaha what a fucking dick.. if someone came up to me and called me a "coward, a liar, and a theif" i would not stop fuckin them up til the ambulance came.

Californian authorities have decided against prosecuting former astronaut Buzz Aldrin after he punched a documentary maker who claimed his moon missions were faked.

Mr Aldrin, famous for his participation in the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, hit Bart Sibrel after he approached the former astronaut outside a hotel in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles and demanded he swear on a Bible that the landing was not staged.

Mr Aldrin responded by punching Mr Sibrel, but said he merely struck out to defend himself and his stepdaughter, who was with him at the time.

Beverly Hills police investigated the incident, which occurred 9 September, but said that the charges were dropped after witnesses came forward to say that Mr Sibrel had aggressively poked Mr Aldrin with the Bible before he was punched.

'False pretences'

Witnesses also told police that Mr Sibrel had lured Mr Aldrin to the hotel under false pretences in order to interview him.

Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Ratinoff told Reuters news agency that a videotape shot by a cameraman hired by Mr Sibrel had shown the film-maker follow Mr Aldrin, calling him a "thief, liar and coward".

Mr Sibrel handed over the tape to police investigators, but as Mr Sibrel sustained no visible injury and did not seek medical attention, and Mr Aldrin had no previous criminal record, no charges were filed.

Mr Sibrel says his new documentary proves the Apollo 11 landings were faked by the Nasa space agency in order to fool the then-Soviet Union into thinking the US had beaten them in the space race.

The two countries had been embroiled in a desperate race to reach the moon, with the US initially trailing after the Soviets became the first to send a man into space and orbit the earth.

Moon walk

Mr Aldrin, the second man after Neil Armstrong to set foot on the moon in the Apollo 11 mission, is one of America's most famous space pioneers.

A former US Air Force pilot who flew in the Korean war, Mr Aldrin joined Nasa space agency in 1963.

Since his retirement from Nasa, Mr Aldrin has dedicated much of his time to publicising space travel for civilians.

That's pretty much Sibrel's MO from what I've read. He either ambushes Apollo astronauts and tries to get answers out of them or poses as a reporter from a reputable outfit [like Discovery Channel] and then launches into a tirade once they show up.

[ManaByte]

Sibrel's followers were calling into Coast to Coast open lines again tonight.  They still disregard all evidence showing that they are wrong.

That Ali G clip is gold. I love Buzz' explanation of what comedy is at the end of the piece. Cohen achieves something sublime there.
