Not a huge fan of the "truther" message, but these young Minneapolis kids strolling around liberal land posting these signs (on police cars too) is encouraging.

Littering the city with stupid propaganda and continuing this conspiracy theory about 911 Is just some stupid kids trying to get some attention. Brass ones? Really View from the Peak , this does not take courage. If these kids are sincere about their concerns about our government this is not very constructive. They are just stupid little brats with too much time on their hands. If this were my son he would be in deep doo doo.

Actually, if it were my son, I would look at it from a half full point of view. He's taken an interest in politics, and sees beyond the smoke and mirrors that is the Obama/Bush team pretending to be pitted against each other. The littering? C'mon now. Those signs are easily taken off and thrown in the trash. Littering is dropping trash on the ground.

Also, that $1000 he might win could go towards his college education. Win-win!

How sad that you would force your 16 year old not to have his/her own thoughts....

The very behavior our Government uses to quiet us you would use on your kids? No maybe it is not the most constructive way to go about their distrust of Government but they are only 16 years old. I am happy to see they do not follow the leader blindly like many do.

This is what you call "having a thought?" I do not even believe he knows what propaganda he is handing out and littering the street with. I think young people have many avenues to express their political views that do not involve plastering junk mail all over town. I WOULD FORCE HIM TO GO PICK UP HIS TRASH AND TAKE PRIDE IN HIS COMMUNITY.

I think infowars offers some good information for people who want to explore these theories. Think about this, he was 9 years old when 911 occurred. What kind of perspective do you think he has? In all the years he has been old enough to pay attention we have been at war over a terrorist attack in a country that had nothing to do with it.

AS THE ORIGINAL POSTER BOASTED HE HAS BRASS ONES-I STRONGLY DISAGREE.

He is questioning authority by posting those signs. Young people would surprise you nowadays with what they make themselves aware of. Well, not the 20 something Obamatrons and neo-cons. They're quite boring and predictable.

Young people were passing out The Obama Deception DVDs in grocery stores around Raleigh. Not bothering anyone, just putting them out near the kiosks and such. People put up stray cat/dog flyers all the time. This isn't any different IMHO.

Well View we see things differently. I think somebody offered to pay him a couple of bucks to do this and he did it without a thought or question. They gave him some lines to say and he said them. He and many other people are exploited this way and YOU call it courage.....sad, very sad.
