Whats with all the 9/11 junk?

[GoRon2008]

Really really disappointing. All the signs and t-shirts made me sick.

This isn't about your damn 9/11 conspiracy. Grow a brain.

Really?

I didn't notice much at all. There was one loudmouth shouting at the crowd and I figured he was an agent of discord. Why yell at people who are already on board the R3volution? But the only other 9/11 stuff I saw was on a few t-shirts worn by polite people. And an occasional sign. The VAST majority of people that I saw were into the whole Liberty package - shouting for freedom, the Constitution, sound money, and the Good Doctor.

But maybe there was more up by the stage. I was chillin under a tree.

I agree. Whether it's a conspiracy or not,

A) This was not the time or place to express that viewpoint. This was an event to support Ron Paul, the Campaign for Liberty, and continued grassroots efforts to get liberty-minded candidates elected. 9/11 truth doesn't fall into any of the above.

B) Although the truthers probably feel as though this movement best espouses their political beliefs, by pointing out the obviously rampant corruption in our government and vowing to eliminate it....you're not helping your cause by throwing 9/11 truth in people's faces. People don't view it with an open mind. I'm not saying it's right, but that's the way it is. Choose your battles wisely - smaller government, lower taxes, less inflation, less war is a platform that can be very popular and win. Rally for "truth" later.

I'm pissed off at the 9/11 Truth movement for not being able to research their way out of a paper bag, but I'm even more pissed off at the public at large, who trust their government blindly in spite of overwhelming circumstantial evidence of foul play in investigating and explaining 9/11.

Yep, it seemed just that one guy going around yelling. I loved (not really) how he tried to give himself credibility to government covert actions by continuously saying he had recently served in the military.

I agree, but we're probably not gonna convince these people otherwise. Those who use Ron Paul to promote their theory tend to be very stubborn.

I only saw the one guy yelling and a few people with t-shirts. I wasn't bothered by it at all and I don't believe it in any way harms our movement. There is nothing wrong with encouraging people to question the 9/11 story. I think they would reach more people at an Obama or McCain rally though.

hardcore libertarian i see.

Wow, and I thought this march was about freedom.
All is well as long as you're on our side.

I don't think forum guidelines allow me to say what I'm thinking, but it rhymes with schmo schmuck yourself.

It is about freedom; I'm not debating whether or not they had to right to express their viewpoint - of course they did, and I have no problem with them being there.

But my issue with "truthers" who come out to such events has always been: what are you trying to accomplish? Do you think that you can convince people that it was an inside job by being open about it, when they have been conditioned all their lives by the MSM?

Why don't they work in small steps to support their goals? RP gives truthers a great hope to have a fair investigation into the events - so why don't they try actually helping him, by gaining the support of mainstream America on less divisive issues like taxes, the Constitution, or foreign policy?

I've just always thought there were much more effective ways to bring about the change and truth they want to see, than throwing it in people's faces. Learn to crawl before you walk, so to speak.

Amen. It's pretty immature to use this movement as your own. This is especially directed at the 1 guy with the megaphone shouting 9/11 was an inside job over everyone else there.

I was happy the other day to finally see another RP bumper sticker in my neighborhood...then I noticed he also had a "9/11 was an inside job" sticker next to it.

I don't mind so-called "truthers" But I wish they would keep the two separate.

I think what malkusm wrote above is spot on.

 

[nobody's_hero]

I see that I'm gonna have to put my old sig back up:

I don't believe in your 9/11 conspiracy theories. Yet, in the event that they are one day proven true, I still shall loathe the government. I suppose, therefore, that I have nothing to lose.

I believe that 9/11 was carried out by 19 arabs.

What I don't believe in (or support) is being robbed via the tax system to pay to keep troops in a foreign country, thus making people of the world resentful of me simply because of the actions of my government.

What's with all the anti-9/11 truth comments around here? You're the one that needs to grow a brain dude.

Made you sick?

Jeesh - I would hope a member of this movement would be a little more tolerant of freedom than that.

I'm not a 9/11 Truther but I have come to accept the fact that there are a lot of them in this cause of liberty. I'd rather have them - than not have them.
