Editor’s note: The corporate media is desperate to slam Ron Paul, so desperate they had one of their scivners write the story here. It does not matter that Ron Paul has said repeatedly he does not believe 9/11 was an inside job, the media will make him look like a truther anyway.
ST. PAUL, MN — Get your facts straight.

That’s what the dozens of Ron Paul supporters shouting outside of the Xcel Energy Center yesterday afternoon were telling Americans to do. They said the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were an inside job.
“The Trade Center was never even hit by a plane. It was a 47-story skyscraper that would’ve dominated the St. Paul skyline,” one of the protesters screamed into a megaphone. When a bystander shouted back that the Twin Towers were more than 100 stories tall, the protester insisted: “I don’t have the exact numbers. I’m sorry I’m not an Encyclopedia Britannica.” (In fact, 7 World Trade Center, which was near the Twin Towers, was 47 stories tall.)
Then the protester got back on message: “Where’s the footage of the Pentagon being hit? Why’s the government hiding that from us? America wake up!”
The crowd — carrying signs saying “Reinvestigate 9/11,” “Bush: Liar. Murderer. Terrorist” and “Ron Paul” — broke into cheer: “9/11 was an inside job! 9/11 was an inside job!”
“I don’t believe Osama bin Laden did the attacks,” said 21-year-old Geoff Dittberner, of South St. Paul. “I think the American government was behind it. Did you hear about the meeting Dick Cheney had … [where he] discussed 12 different ways to incite a war with Iran? Sy Hearse reported that, and he’s a pretty renowned journalist,” he noted, referring to the New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh.

Protesters handed out literature with “11 Remarkable Facts About 9/11,” including claims that “some of the alleged 9/11 ‘’suicide hijackers’ are still alive and well” and “the sudden, vertical, explosive, and total collapse of the Twin Towers at near freefall speed can only be explained by controlled demolition.”
