'High Quality' Responses to Charlie Sheen's 9/11 Comments

Gee, with all the responses with high journalistic integrity from the media and blogs about Charlie Sheen's 9/11 comments, I wonder why celebrities haven't come out sooner to voice their opinions about Sept. 11?

(PS - My hat's off to Mr. Sheen for having the guts to come out and put his career on the line by expressing his thoughts about what really happened on 9/11.)

Charlie Sheen Comes Out of the Closet in His Tinfoil Hat

"Charlie Sheen, coke-fiend sitcom star, son of an equally obnoxious left-wing kook, and a "scumbag" even by the standards of Heidi Fleiss, has come forward with his doubts that what the whole world saw happen at the World Trade Center on September 11 really occurred.
Evidently the planes flying into the towers were just our imagination; Sheen applied the considerable engineering skill that he developed while telling lame jokes for the laugh track machine on bubblegum programs like Spin City and Two and a Half Men to reach the conclusion that the WTC fell in a controlled demolition.
Tinseltown moonbattery and our acceptance of it have come a long way in the last half century. Imagine an actor in the early 1940s proclaiming that it was not the Japanese but Franklin Roosevelt who attacked Pearl Harbor. Imagine WWII America putting up with lowlife like Charlie Sheen." - Moonbattery (March 20, 2006)

Charlie Sheen! Just How Stupid Are You?

Posted by Bill Nienhuis

"Stupid enough to question the events of September 11th, 2001. Try this on for size:
Sheen described his immediate skepticism regarding the official reason for the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on the day of 9/11.
And he goes on and on and on.
This is serious tin foil hat stuff. Sheen, a former drug and alcohol abuser, is obviously hitting the sauce again. What’s next Charlie? Holocaust denial?
He should be ashamed of himself for pushing this crap. It’s disgusting." - PunditGuy (March 20, 2006)

Charlie Sheen Talks 9-11 Conspiracy

"Yesterday, Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen appeared on the Alex Jones radio show to join "a growing army of other highly credible public figures in questioning the official story of 9/11." Even more surprising than discovering that anchoring CBS's Monday night sitcom lineup makes someone a "credible public figure" (Doogie, apparently, was too busy running lines about his magic shirt on the How I Met Your Mother set to share his thoughts) was Sheen's discussion of conspiracy theories about the terror attacks, recounted at InfoWars.com:

We assume that the brother Sheen called is noted actor, writer, and director Emilio Estevez (after all, who cares what Ramon thinks?), whose response to his post-attack skepticism was not noted in the interview, robbing us of the two-Sheen consensus that would precipitate the widespread acceptance of the Charlie-endorsed theory. Where are you, Emilio, when we need a voice of sanity to make sense of an increasingly complex world?" - Defamer (March 21, 2006)

Charlie Sheen Says 9/11 is a fraud so it must be so

"It appears that some in the left are so upset about the war on terror being a Republican issue that instead of making the Dems strong on domestic defense, they would like the entire issue to go just away. What better way to do that than to say that 9/11 never really happened? However the only way for that to be true would be for it to have been the result of a massive Bush conspiracy. And this is exactly what some in the lunatic fringe are charging.
“Red Dawn” star Charlie Sheen is the latest celebrity to question the veracity of the attacks. Sheen questions the “official story” the attack was carried out by Islamic terrorists, who presumably were similarly framed in the two embassy bombings in Africa as well as other attacks around the world.
Of course Sheen isn’t alone. There are a whole cadre of otherwise unknowns trying to eek out some fame with their lunatic theories. Steve Jones (not the Sex Pistol) is leading the pack.
Sheen is correct in one thing only. We have a right to question anything and everything in this country. It’s part of our ‘checks and balances.’ But we also have a right to tweak pictures in Photoshop when those doing the questioning makes asses of themselves."

Escort-Loving Sitcom Actors Lend Credibility to 9/11 Doubters

"New York had nine pages this week on 9/11 conspiracy theories, and, truth be told, a lot of them sounded not entirely ridiculous. (The temperature of a jet-fuel fire is lower that the temp at which steel melts? Not even the experts can explain why 7 WTC fell? Bush’s black-sheep brother Marvin worked at the security company that protected the World Trade Center and United and American airlines? Interesting.) But, still, it also seemed to be coming from the usual, if well-intentioned, wackos — you know, overearnest Starbucks-bashing punks and overearnest Birks-wearing old hippies and that East Village priest with a soul patch — and so it was easy, as you sat reading Mark Jacobson’s piece, to assume that these people were just a little nuts.
But then we were emailed this news report:

Actor Charlie Sheen Ponders Ultimate Hollywood Conspiracy Theory

"If you think this year's Academy Awards were the ultimate example of Hollywood being out of touch with America -- if not with reality -- you haven’t yet heard actor Charlie Sheen's interview with radio host Alex Jones.
Sheen usually does comedy on TV, where he currently stars on NBC's "Two and a half Men." But last week on Jones's radio show he turned in a hysterical performance discussing whether the U.S. government is conspiring to cover up what happened on 9/11.

Here are some excerpts from an interview Michael Moore would be hard-pressed to surpass." - Human Events Online (Mar 22, 2006)

Insane Hollywood Left Blames Bush For 9/11
By: Cepan - Mat Toenniessen

"I have often written in this blog that the liberals are insane in this country and going deeper off the cliff.
This should show you that I am correct.
Actor Charlie Sheen has said on a left wing radio interview that 9/11 was a plot by President Bush to allow us to go to war.
Charlie Sheen has just shown America what the Democrat party is becoming.
A party of lunatics.
Sheen then goes on about how Bush KNEW of the attack coming because he stayed at the school he was at when the attacks happened and was not worried.
Then, unbelievably, Sheen states that Bush REHEARSED the 911 attack before hand.
Have the liberals no shame?
This is the outrageous insanity right out of Pacifica Radio and Michael Moore. It is quickly becoming the norm in the liberal wing of Democrat party.
Sheen goes on to say that the witnesses who saw the plane hit the Pentagon were wrong. He suggests that NO PLANE hit the Pentagon.
This is the ultimate in proving the uncaring evilness of the left.
Funny how these conspiracy nuts leave out the plane crash in Pennsylvania.
That crash killed many people, including TV pundit Barbara Olsen, wife of Solicitor General Ted Olsen. I want Sheen and these evil liberals crackpots to look Ted Olsen in the eye and tell him his wife did not die in that crash. They can't because that crash destroys their theory of a massive plot.
Sheen thinks HE is part of a new chance at attacking Bush by saying how his thinking is becoming the norm in his group of loons he hangs out with.
Sheen described the climate of acceptance for serious discussion about 9/11 as being far more fertile than it was a couple of years ago.
The sad thing is, he is right. This sort of thinking is becoming the norm in liberal crackpot circles, and is creeping into the mainstream Democrat party. They can't stand the fact that Bush has finally put us at war against terrorism after years of neglect by Clinton. They think that by making up insane plot stories about 9/11 they can ignore reality.
In Matworld the kooks on the left are ostracized and made to pay a real price when they say things like Sheen did.
President Bush is the hero of 9/11 and the left can't stand it." - Red State (March 22, 2006)

Charlie Sheen, Meet Your New Comrades!
(9/11 Conspiracy Freaks Edition)

Posted by Nick Gillespie

"Via Arts & Letters Daily comes this New York mag article that makes it clear that Charlie Sheen--clearly the Lionel Barrymore of the Estevez acting dynasty--has lots of company in questioning whether 9/11 ever happened (in fact, did the World Trade Center even ever exist before it was supposedly destroyed? look at old maps of Manhattan and you won't even see the Twin Towers listed!).
New York's "The Ground Zero Grassy Knoll" helps you determine your "HOP level"--do you think the feds "let it happen on purpose" or "made it happen on purpose"--and introduces you to Father Frank Morales, a whackjob Catholic priest who makes child-molesting clergy seem normal and who is fond of repeating the dark truth that "Bush and bin Laden have the same banker."
Whole story--including a handy-dandy summary of the major conspiracy theories (e.g. Mossad did it; oilmen did it; Bush and Cheney did it; shrinks did it)--here." - Hit and Run (March 22, 2006)

Hot Shots Part III: Charlie Sheen Gets Fitted For A Tin-Foil Hat

Posted by Randy

"Alright, I don't want to give this much attention because the 9/11 conspiracy theories have been debunked if you simply seek the information. Not to mention that common sense tells you that there is no way to have kept it under wraps considering there would need to be hundreds if not thousands of people "in on it" (right down to eye-witness civilians)
Anyway, Charlie Sheen has joined the tinfoil hat club and is now a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Perhaps he's upset because someone just told him that his dad was just a TV President, and that his show was cancelled. Anyway, he's joined the ranks of all the other internet loonies who think that there is some kind of big conspiracy behind 9/11 and that it was possibly and "inside job", etc.
Again, I don't want to waste to much time on such idiocy, but I have to tell you my first thought on this when I clicked the link from Michelle Malkin's blog. The first thing I saw when I got to the "article", was the headline and subheadline:

Anything strange about that to you? First of all who are these "prominent credible whistleblowers", and why is Sheen one of them? What makes him "credible"? Because his nutcase views are aligned with the nutcase views of the writers of the article? Or is it because he's a celebrity, so these conspiracy theorists who lurk around in the shadows think that they've somehow captured mainstream attention? Anyway, the first paragraph begins the same way:

Am I just misunderstanding something? Seriously, explain to me why Charlie Sheen of all people is "highly credible" in this area? Is he some sort of specialist in building demolition of forensic video analysis or something? I just don't get why he's "highly credible". Someone please explain this to me.

Here's a little about Mr. Credibility (via wikipedia) for those of you who aren't familiar:

Sheen has been dogged by trouble, including drugs and a shooting, and he has frequently had problems with the police. Though he was involved with a number of Hollywood personalities, his long-term relationship with adult actress Ginger Lynn in the late 1990s garnered the most media attention. In 1993, his name was found among Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss' list of her most frequent customers, and it was revealed that Sheen hired top-class prostitutes and spent huge amounts on escort agencies. During this time, he also had a serious cocaine addiction.
Sheen was married to Donna Peele from September 3, 1995 to November 19, 1996. He then married another actress, Denise Richards, on June 15, 2002. They had two daughters, Sam J. Estevez (born March 9, 2004), and Lola Rose Estevez (born June 1, 2005). In March 2005, Richards filed for divorce, but the couple were able to reconcile briefly afterwards. In January 2006, Richards continued with the divorce.
Sheen also has a daughter by former girlfriend Paula Profit, Cassandra Estevez (born 1985).

Now if those don't all make him an authority on the real story of 9/11, I don't know what does!
Anyway, after seeing the headline and opening sentence I realized I couldn't be on a legit news site so I glanced up to see that I was at GlobalResearch.ca or the Centre For Research On Globalization. Then I looked at the writer's names, Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson. I haven't heard of Paul Watson, but Alex Jones is by far the God among American conspiracy theorists, 9/11 and otherwise. This guy is just beyond crazy. Actually my own little conspiracy theory about him is that he knows what he talks about is crazy, but is making money doing it. Anyway, I don't want to promote him, so I'm not going to link to all his other pages (though I'm sure many of you have heard of them).

Predictably, it would seem the KOS kids (among many other tin-foil hat bloggers) think Sheen is a pile of credibility and they are overjoined at this insanity. By the way, don't let your self get dragged in to being a "believer". I almost did once, but quickly remembered to be a skeptic, did a little research and realized that anyone who is actually "credible" has debunked this nonsense time and time again. Just have your google handy, and you'll remain on the same planet as the rest of us." - RightWinged.com (March 22, 2006)

Charlie Sheen's 9/11 Conspiracy

John Hawkins

"A lot of liberals buy into flakey ideas and conspiracy theories, but they usually try to hide what they believe from the general public. However, there are two times when they tend to blurt out the truth.
There's a radio show run by a nutcase named Alex Jones. It's paranoid, "Look out for the global conspiracy that runs America, Bush is a dictator, the Illuminati are going to sacrifice your baby to Satan," gaga that no intelligent person would buy into for 5 seconds.
Which brings us to Charlie Sheen.
Apparently, Sheen has given an interview to Alex Jones' show about the 9/11 attacks, and it turns out that big melon on top of Charlie's head is emptier than one might think.

If you want to see a nice debunking of these sorts of claims, you can go here, but personally I'm not going to waste time refuting this nonsense.
Yet, the variations on these sort of wacky beliefs are widespread on the left. Isn't there a single politician on the left courageous enough to have a "Sister Souljah" moment with these kooks and set them straight?" - Right Wing News (March 22, 2006)

Charlie Sheen Joins Conspiracy Chorus on 9/11 Attacks

By Jim Roberts

"It appears that actor Charlie Sheen has joined the chorus of conspiracy theorists that believe the attacks on 9/11 are not exactly as America watched unfold on live TV.

For the record I like Charlie Sheen as an actor. But I live in Manhattan and frankly - his assertions are insulting. And it would be simple to rip Sheen as a nut - he's already asked to be called insane - but to suggest that the attacks were planned, and the president had already watched 'similar images' in a 'rehearsal' is just nonsense.
And he doesn't believe a plane crashed into the Pentagon? Wow.
Whatever cause he is trying to promote with such foolishness cannot be helped with such outrageous statements. Sheen - with this one interview - risks painting himself as one of the tin-foil hat types of folks he so often lampoons in his movies." - National Ledger (Mar 22, 2006)

Does the Charlie Sheen Radio Rant on 9/11 Help Denise Richards?

By Cathy Beers

"In what can easily be described as a radio rant - Sheen gets lost in the moment and runs off ridiculous conspiracy theories - one after the other - until it gets painful.

Jon slams actor Charlie Sheen for his theories on 9/11

Keller At Large

[Audio]

"Alleged actor Charlie Sheen has taken a break from high-stakes gambling and adultery to do some serious thinking about 9/11 and he's come up with some conclusions that have excited cashew and macadamia nuts everywhere.

Already, Sheen's fellow pecans on the internet are furious about how the mainstream media is ignoring his insightful analysis, but we are sharing it with you as an object lesson in the power of conspiracy theories -- the make-believe chalking that plugs gaps in the thought process of so many.

Does the government ever lie to us? Of course it does. And the complete truth is sometimes elusive, but the fact is there is a mountain of documented evidence linking the 9/11 attacks to Al Qaeda and no evidence to support Sheen's tipsy Hollywood theories. But it's no surprise that Sheen's foolishness finds an audience. Conspiracy theories are daily bread to ideological extremists of the right and left and to the intellectual stunted among us. Never mind that they almost never pan out. They give hope to nuts that just maybe they're right on and it's everybody else who's nuts." - WBZ News Radio 1030 (March 23, 2006)

Wackier than Dad?
By TrevorBothwell

"Well, when you can't defeat a U.S. president by incessantly accusing him of lying a country into war, I suppose the next best thing is to accuse him of orchestrating the attacks of 9/11 that prefaced it in the first place.
Lefty moonbat Charlie Sheen, who believes the Twin Towers were deliberately imploded by the government on that fateful day, is convinced that "19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners" is the true conspiracy, and he is calling for a "truly independent investigation" of the attacks.
Insane is an understatement." - Townhall.com (Mar 23 2006)

Charlie Sheen: Stupider Than Tom Cruise?

Osama bin Laden and his cohorts planned this terrorist operation, see, and they killed a bunch of people just like you and me (well, like me, anyway…). It’s the most photographed and recorded incident in human history. If we have conclusive proof of ANYTHING in this world, it’s the identity, motives, and means of the 9/11 hijackers.

Charlie Sheen doesn’t buy 9/11 spin
By Inside Track

"Charlie Sheen, following in the footsteps of his politically outspoken father, Martin Sheen, has joined the chorus of conspiracy theorists who don’t believe the official version of events surrounding 9/11.
The estranged husband of Denise Richards, who is better known for his affinity for prostitutes and gambling than his Homeland Security credentials, told the GCN Radio Network he doesn’t buy the government’s explanation that “19 amateurs with box cutters (took) over four commercial airliners and (hit) 75 percent of their targets.”

Lord of the Fleiss: Charlie Sheen the New Leader of 9/11 Conspiracists
Doug Powers

"Up until recently, I was beginning to think that Charlie Sheen wasn’t the son of Martin Sheen. The first clue was that he had the same last name, and what child of Martin Sheen has the last name “Sheen”? Not many.
The second clue was that Charlie seemed to have confined his exploits to prostitutes and general debauchery like booze and cocaine. Chuck’s arrests weren’t like his dad’s, such as when Martin was busted in 1995 for his five-decade-late protest of the dropping of **Fat Man and Little Boy on Japan.
(**note to liberal youngsters: when we say “Fat Man and Little Boy” we’re not talking about Michael Moore and George Stephanopoulos
But all good things must end. Charlie can’t fight the Martin Sheen genes anymore, as he’s now saying that 9/11 couldn’t have happened the way the government tells it. The collapse of the World Trade Centers looked like a “controlled demolition” to him, and he doubts a plane actually hit the Pentagon.
Of course, Charlie was baked on Acapulco red and had a whore sitting on his face at the time, but dammit, he knows what he saw!
And just when I thought a Sheen had risen ‘high’ enough to escape the moonbat vacuum…
Et tu, Chuck?
For the other side, click on the “comments” tab and hear from those who are defending Charlie’s take. Questions for those who are pro-conspiracy: What did the government, or whoever was responsible, do with all the people who were ticketed on the plane that didn’t hit the Pentagon? Was it shot down over the water? Are they being held captive in the same hangar where the moon landing was faked? (theories abound, but most I’ve heard about are quickly shaved by Occam’s Razor)" - Mens News Daily (March 23, 2006)

Charlie Sheen Joins Chorus Of 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists
by Jack Ryan

"Actor Charlie Sheen has joined the chorus of conspiracy theorists that bang the drum loudly in their belief that the attacks on 9/11 are not exactly as America watched them unfold on live TV.

Charlie is a good actor and I appreciate "Two and a Half Men" but these entertainers need to do what they do and leave the political ideologies at home. It only makes some of us begin to question why we like someone in the first place.

Please feel free to watch the latest propaganda film available from Google Video. It's a slick cut & paste/ slant the truth - Michael Moore-esque production. If you truly believe the lies of propaganda like this then you deserve the outcome.

For more propaganda from self-loathing anti-american types, please visit: www.wtc7.net

Charlie Sheen Isn't the Only 9/11 Conspiracy Nut Out There
by Jim Brogan

"Oh brother, Never in a thousand years did I think after penning my 'gossip' article about Sheen and his conspiracy theory that I would be writing another one, let alone one in the same day. In fact, this is not a gossip column but an opinion piece.
However, the sheer lunacy of this fiasco needs to be addressed in more detail.

Again, I reiterate that it is not un-American to question your government but to suggest that your government would murder 3000 people in a staged attack is treason.
If you truly equate the two as the same or believe our Government would destroy 3000 lives for some sort-of sick, twisted capitalistic gain then you need to move to France.
If what you conspiracy clowns spout were even remotely true.. there would be no hope for humanity because the USA is the last bastion of true freedom in the world.
Besides, if what you conspiracy wackos believe was true, the Liberal left in this country would be banging the drum for you. If you cannot garner the support of the liberal media, then your theories must not even be remotely tangible.
Get your heads out of your collective theories people and rally around your president who is attempting to keep you safe from the very people who want to kill you.
Conspiracy theories are meant to generate money and those behind it are the real pimps. Don't be fooled! Get on your knees and PRAY for your President rather than curse him... It is after all, the Christian thing to do.
Oh and BTW, when that new Oliver Stone movie is announced you'll understand why this has been blown up to cartoon-like charade." - The Post Chronicle (Mar 23, 2006)

Titanic Sank By Explosives!, Hindenburg Downed by Death-Ray!
by Satirist Jim Brogan

"Since it's all the rage right now to spout on and on about conspiracies like those being perpetuated by Charlie Sheen and ilk that believe the US government is responsible for 911, we'd like to take the opportunity to offer a few of our own.
Titanic sank by explosives!

The ice berg was a cover. "Berg" is the key word here and is the obvious giveaway concealing a Zionist plot to defame the queen of england.

This conspiracy is further illustrated by the fact that there were no Jews on board during the ships maiden voyage.

Hindenburg downed by death-ray!
Adlantians, who are really lizard creatures from Zeta reticuli, aimed a powerful beam of their deadly psychic thought particles at the dirigible from their secret alien base in the Bermuda triangle.

Once again, an apparent Jewish plot, obvious by the inclusion by the Nazis of Hinden"burg", is evident because there weren't any Jews on board the airship when it crashed.

Time to Wake Up
By Juliet Huddy

"And finally, some passionate missives:
Charlie Sheen, you know, the actor who reportedly can't keep his hands off other women while married... Real upstanding guy ... He's the latest vocal conspiracy theorist with regard to 9/11. He called the hijackers "a bunch of amateurs with box cutters" and questioned how these dopes could pull off such a deadly feat. He also suggested the crumbling of the towers was some sort of "controlled" demolition. Wow, those degrees in architecture, engineering, and chemistry are really coming in handy. What college did he go to again?
Some of you are sickened by his comments. And some aren't. One group seems to think there's some sort of conspiracy by “DaySide” to avoid talking about this. I mentioned we'd be discussing this on Thursday's show. We had breaking news and it cut into that segment. We re-scheduled the topic for Friday, but not before some highly suspicious folks out went off at me, Mike and our producers...
Please put your name and town. It's a lot easier to debate someone when we know who they are. And by the way, we're not "afraid" of big, scary Charlie Sheen, we’ve asked him to come on the show, but maybe he’s “afraid” of us since he hasn’t gotten back to us. We'll try again Friday.

He's a right Charlie
Mr Sheen is the latest celebrity to confuse fact and fiction
Marina Hyde

"Pay attention, civilians. Actor Charlie Sheen has been focusing his mind on the official explanation for 9/11. And you know what? He's not buying it. ..."and then when the buildings came down later on that day, I said to my brother 'call me insane', but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition?"
You're insane. Next.
But it is George Bush's assertion that he saw the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Centre before any footage of it had been released that tells Charlie he's on to something. "I guess one of the perks of being president is that you get access to TV channels that don't exist in the known universe," he continued in a manner which in no way suggests he once had a monstrous coke problem. "It might lead you to believe that he'd seen similar images in some type of rehearsal as it were, I don't know."
Mmm. For many celebrities, conspiracy theories are the VIP rooms of history." - Guardian Unlimited (March 25, 2006)

Charlie's conspiracy angels

Doug Powers

"OK, Chuck. Fair enough. Bring on another investigation, and another, and another – and keep doing it until it turns out the way you want it to. Then you can go back to your "Two and a Half Men," I'll go back to my two sons and a daughter, and we can move on. Deal?

When I heard about Charlie's comments, my first thought was that this was an isolated rant from a mad tinfoil hatter. It wasn't surprising. After all, Charlie is the son of Martin Sheen, and, like the old saying goes, the fruit doesn't fall far from the fruitier. After writing on this issue, however, I quickly discovered that Charlie is far from alone.

After posting a brief quip on my blog regarding Charlie's comments, I was hit with a good many responses to the post I titled "Lord of the Fleiss." Most of these responses praised Sheen for having the "courage" to "speak the truth" and chastised me for not taking seriously an actor with a past of hard boozing, frequenting prostitutes, and so many self-confessed run-ins with coke that he was starting to look like he rear-ended a Gold Medal Flour delivery truck.

True, all these personal flaws don't change the substance, if you'll pardon the expression, of Charlie's point, but it is worth noting that a major side-effect of cocaine abuse is imaginary-fly-swatting paranoia.

As I've frequently and loudly discovered, theories abound, and oddities in the government explanation of 9-11 don't offer much satisfaction to Charlie and his conspiracy angels.
Lastly, the most important question: Why am I arguing logic with Charlie Sheen?

Sorry, Charlie ... I don't buy it, but if you want to call for another investigation, be my guest." - WorldNetDaily (March 27, 2006)

Charlie Sheen? That's the best the conspiracy buffs can do?
By DOUG THOMPSON

"It is a sad commentary on the desperation of the 9-11 conspiracy movement when their latest rallying point is Charlie Sheen, bad actor, high school dropout and admitted abuser of women.

Sheen, son of the equally pompous Martin Sheen, who thinks playing the President on West Wing is, somehow, qualifications to issue sweeping pronouncements on government policy and claim these opinions as truth, is a sad spokesman for the conspiracy fantasies.
Kicked out of Santa Monica High School for bad grades and poor attendance, Sheen's career is a long litany of misbehavior and disregard for the law.
In 1990, Sheen "accidentally" shot then fiancée Kelly Preston in the arm. Preston said at the time that Sheen, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, was "out of control" and "raving like a madman."
In 1995, he admitted paying nearly $50,000 for the services of 27 of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss's $2,500- a-night prostitutes.
In 1996, ex-girlfriend Brittany Ashland filed battery charges against Sheen. He copped a no-contest plea in exchange for a year's suspended sentence, two years probation and a $2,800 fine. Two years later, a near-fatal drug overdose sent Sheen into drug rehab in Thousand Oaks, California, but he left after one day and it took a judge to order him to return.
Four years ago, Sheen married actress Denise Richards but she filed for divorce last year even though she was six months pregnant, citing the usual "irreconcilable differences," but telling friends she feared for her safety. Stories surrounding the divorce suggest Sheen is drinking again and back to using cocaine.
So this is the new poster child for the 9-11 conspiracy buffs? They are pinning their credibility on a known drug user, admitted purchaser of the services of prostitutes and an intellectually-challenged misfit who couldn't even graduate from high school?
Think about that the next time some conspiracy freak tells you the U.S. Government blew up the World Trade Center and sent a guided missile into the Pentagon. Consider the kinds of sources these people believe to be credible.
And the sad fact that they now base their claims on the ravings of a known drunk and drug user who beats up women only confirms the madness." - Capitol Hill Blue (April 2, 2006 )
