Ron and that Conspiracy Bug!

One of the parroted criticisms of Ron Paul is his perceived association, by choice, with group such as “Students Scholars For 9/11 Truth.” In a video readily available on Youtube, Congressman Paul is seen giving individuals from the aforementioned group a brief moment of his time. I wont take the time to go into detail as to what was said in the conversation, other than to say that without researching further, many anti-Ron Paul individuals take completely out of context Ron Paul’s assertions of re-investigating 9/11.

For the short of it, Ron Paul in no way, shape or form believes that 9/11 “was an inside job.” In a reason.com article David Weigel approaches Congressman Paul on this issue and it is clear that taken in the proper context Ron Paul made no allusions to 9/11 being an inside job, in fact quite to the contrary.

In the Reason.com article Congressman Paul unequivocally denies any belief in the notion that the United States government was the mastermind’s behind the 9/11 attacks. His clearly stated opinion is that government policy, government ineptitude and the fact that clear evidence of terrorist activities were ignored or overlooked contributed to the terrorist successfully implementing their horrendous attack.

It is clear that one of two things is happening in the constant parroting of “Ron Paul is conspiracy Nut,” and that is either willful ignorance on the part of many people, or the pure need to slander Congressman Paul. It is a shame that in this political age, that with the truth staring them right in the face many voters will overlook Ron Paul for the simple fact of guilt by association. No, not Ron Paul has associated with these conspiracy types by speaking at events sponsored by them, or that he even agrees with them, but that as a generous and kind statesman he gives these individuals a moment of his time and hears what they have to say, although clearly he does not agree with them. Heaven help us that a kind old soul such as Ron Paul is the butt of unjust criticism simply because he is a kind person.
