The fact the the 9-11 truth crowd is draw to Paul does not invalidate Paul’s ideas. Many groups that have become disenfranchised by the current system are looking at Paul as the person most likely to allow peaceful dissent without the censorship that has become the standard for both parties. The fact that he is know for speaking honestly also gives the conspiracy theorists hope that if elected Paul would reveal the hidden secrets the believe exist.

The fact that the current front runners for the presidential nominations of both parties supported the invasion of Iraq causing the deaths of thousands of Americans, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis while wasting what will be trillions of dollars creates the perfect conditions for conspiracy theories to flourish. I mean, if the powers that be from both parties were willing to invade Iraq with all of it’s consequences knocking down a couple buildings in New York doesn’t seem so ridiculous, no matter if it isn’t true.

The US government is a 9/11 conspiracy type, they have a theory that Al Qaeda did it. Then they had the conspiracy theory that Al Qaeda was in Iraq with weapons of mass destruction. If you are going to use labels and name-calling, then it would be only fair to describe all 9/11 conspiracy types in exactly the same way.

Hey, I saw that movie! It’s based on a comic book.

It’s kind of funny, because celebration of Guy Fawkes day in England is based on the notion that “using a bomb to blow up the government” has is “bad thing”–and capturing the guy who tried to do it (before he could do it) was a “good thing.”

But apparently the kind of person who supports Ron Paul now believes that “blowing up the legislature” might be a “good thing.” Personally, I don’t see much future in such a platform. We’re looking for people who can pull the government out of its seven year tailspin without starting another civil war here at home. But you can’t stop these “Turner Diaries” types from dreaming, I guess…
