9/11 Kool-Aid Movement

So let me just say for the record that a thing called the 9/11 Truth Movement is the main (practical) reason why I am Not a Libertarian, why I did not and could not support Ron Paul, and why I think a large part of the Libertarian Party needs to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and come down off the roof.

Stephen Spruiell blogged today from the Ron Paul festivities in Minneapolis-St. Paul.  He reported that after eloquently defending the 2nd Amendment (well worth defending), Jesse Ventura broached a controversial topic — “something that when I discuss it, I get attacked,” he said. “Something called 9/11.”

From all accounts, at every Ron Paul event this year, there have been a lot of people from this so-called 9/11 Truth movement.  Apparently today was no different. When Ventura brought up 9/11, these folks starting cheering and clapping. “ Why is it that when you ask questions about 9/11, it’s out-of-bounds?” he asked. “Why has the U.S. Department of Justice not charged Osama Bin Laden for 9/11?”

As Ventura continued to “ask questions” about what “really” happened on 9/11, Spruiell said the crowd started chanting, “9/11 was an inside job.” At one point, Stephen said it got so loud that Ventura had to pause for a few moments before going on. Many in the crowd were applauding Ventura throughout his talk on 9/11 (and to be fair some were looking on with dismay).

9/11 was an “inside job”………..?   Does any sane, rational person really believe that?  Are they all off their meds?  Or are they so paranoid and delusional that they are simply beyond the reach of modern psychiatry?

Message to 9/11 Truthers:  Put. The. Crack. Pipes. Down.

If Ron Paul actually believes this nonsense, or even if he just allows it preached at his parties for Effect and to please the lunatic fringe, I must say I have very little use for him.  Or for Jesse Ventura, either.  There is no place in our national dialogue for such Complete and Utter Nonsense.

(What a bunch of Noodles.)

    This is one more reason why the Sarah Palin pick was brilliant. It allows those of us who followed Ron Paul in the early primaries to find a new home. The Spruiell piece has Ventura saying the north Vietnamese were just farmers. Was it farmers who shot down McCain, or Soviet missiles? Does a farmer know how to fire a missile? I disagree that the 9/11 truthers have no place though. The best thing about free speech is it allows for idiot identification.

    While I agree that it’s nonsense, there is a place in our national dialogue for Complete and Utter Nonsense. (Usually, that place is filled by Progressives discussing economics.) Also, in this case I fail to follow the logic. Just because the Justice Department has not yet charged Osama bin Laden, doesn’t lead me to think that 9/11 might have been an “inside job”. Quite the contrary, if it were an inside job, wouldn’t the Justice Department be using any smoke screen it could think of, including charges against bin Laden?

    I agree with you in your criticism of the 9/11 conspiracy theories. However, these crazy ideas are accepted by only a small portion of the Ron Paul movement. And Ron Paul himself has repeatedly stated that he does not accept the conspiracy theories.
