The 9/11 movement has pretty much taken over The Daily Paul
http://www.dailypaul.com/forum/177 and a lot of the members are working to get everyone off of the site who doesn't agree that screaming '9/11 is an Inside Job' is the best plan to win.
Here is the message I posted there and was then called a troll/shill/whatever-it-was for doing so. I thought my post was pretty reasonable.
In summary, Ron Paul's approach works at least 1,000% better at gaining us allies than screaming '9/11 is an inside job!'
Full message:
Carl Cameron: "Sir, would you ask them to cease that rhetoric, tonight, on your behalf." [On the issue of 9/11 truthers]
Ron Paul: "Well, it doesn't do me any good, so, if they care about me they should .........."
Enough said.
Sadly, and it's a minority, these people just don't care. There are tons of 9/11 Truthers who have the sense to keep the two movements separate. A small minority though think it is worth it to destroy the Campaign for Liberty just to increase their group by a tiny percentage.
I have no problem with 9/11 Truth(ers) in general, but I do have a problem with those who attempt to selfishly hijack another movement because they have no faith in their own being successful. As usual, it's a selfish minority who become a thorn in the side for both movements.
It has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. Even if truthers are 100% right, it is still unethical to attack Ron Paul's movement. There are only two specific groups I've seen Ron Paul ask not to hijack his campaign, and the 9/11 movement was one of them. I *know* there are a ton of people who are in the 9/11 movement who support Paul but leave 9/11 out of it while at his events. These are the decent and ethical members of the 9/11 movement.
If you haven't noticed, Ron Paul attracts people to his movement with a POSITIVE message. A pro-American and pro-Constitution message. And it works when people have a chance to hear him. We've seen that. Right or wrong, the negative message that 9/11 is an inside job scares people away and makes people depressed, and turns them away from even considering listening to Ron Paul.
My main question is if the 9/11 movement is so popular and successful, why do they feel a need to try and hijack the liberty movement in the first place? Once again, I'm addressing the minority. The majority are ethical people who don't try to do this. Why doesn't the 9/11 have its own campaign and its own rallies? And if it already does, there is no reason to try and hijack this one.
In closing:
Carl Cameron: "Sir, would you ask them to cease that rhetoric, tonight, on your behalf." [On the issue of 9/11 truthers]
Ron Paul: "Well, it doesn't do me any good, so, if they care about me they should .........."
[Note: I never said the 9/11 movement in general was wrong nor did I imply anything of that nature. So, please keep all lying and smearing to yourself. It only does disservice to your cause. Thank you.]
