He encouraged fans to check out 9/11 truth websites, specifically <a href="http://www.911weknow.com" target="_blank">911weknow.com</a>, and talked about his suspicions on <em>The View</em>. But this week, his credability took ten steps back when he got on New Haven's WPLR radio, and got DJs and listeners quite peeved.</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">He was there for promoting his new flick &quot;The Hunting Party,&quot; but opened the interview with a tone that had nothing to do with the movie and everything to do with offending people to make a statement:</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">&quot;Right, oh yeah, Happy 9/11!&quot; he told the DJ's, after they mentioned it was the anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy.</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">&quot;Well, that's kind of a weird thing to say,&quot; DJ Chazz said. &quot;We're right outside of New York, and I know people who lost family members, so...we don't say 'Happy 9/11' around here.&quot;</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">To that, Brolin replied, &quot;Celebrate the day, right?&quot;</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">Uh...what?</font></P> <P><font size="2" face="Verdana">He went on then about how tragic 9/11 was, to make up for his comment, but really, why would someone say that? It doesn't seem supportive of his cause. And the rest of the day was full of calls from angry listeners. So...yeah, we're not supportive of this dry offensive wit as a method of conveying skepticism.
