MICHELE MALKIN WAS ON FOX NEWS YESTERDAY going after the 9/11 conspiracy theorists and Ron Paul's association with them.Michele Malkin was much tougher on Ron Paul than I am, appearing on since I DO NOT THINK THAT APPEARING ON A RADIO SHOW where the host has kooky ideas NECESSARILY MEANS THAT RON PAUL AGREES WITH the radio host. So I reserve judgment.

Dear Editor: Ron Paul revealed only a glimpse of his 9/11 problem at the Republican Presidentialdebates in South Carolina. I don't know if Paul has actually made accusationsthat the U.S. government or Mossad were behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks while appearing on conspiracy-oriented radio shows. But the 9/11 Kook Squad believes that Paul is their spokesman and has eagerly adopted him. As a result, liberal democrats, anti-war activists, and so-called "9/11 Truthers" are crossingParty lines to swamp call-in shows for Ron Paul. If Congressman Paul intends to stay in the race or even maintain his credibility,he needs to quickly dissociate himself from irresposible accusations that the governmentis guilty of 3,000 counts of mass murder. Not only are such ideas offensive, butthey are being used around the world to bash America and organize terrorist cellsagainst us. American's lives are endangered by such irresponsible anti-Americanpropaganda. For those who have not gone slumming on the internet, the 9/11 Kook Squad saysthat no airplanes hit the Pentagon or the World Trade Center, even though hundredsof thousands of eyes watched the planes hit live, in person. They refuse to acceptOsama Bin Laden's proud claims of responsibility for 9/11, instead "outing"Bin Laden as a paid CIA agent (?). (Where is Joe Wilson when you really need him?)They claim that 30 tons of burning jet fuel could not melt steel, even though steelloses 80% of its strength at 1000 degrees, and melting is totally irrelevant. A110 foot steel girder expands by 15 inches at 1000 degrees, causing a structure to twist or shatter. More than a dozen steel buildingns have failed from fire alone.Last month, a burning fuel truck caused the steel in a San Francisco highway overpassto melt and fail. These people are not interested in "answers" or "truth"but only in bashing America with falsehoods. It's the same old story. When liberals thought that 'Maverick'John McCain was useful for undermining George Bush and Republicans, McCain was thedarling of the news media and liberals pretending to be Republican voters. Now that McCain is supporting Bush's position on the dominant issue of the day, the mainstream news media has shunned McCain like an old mistress once the affairis over.

Ron Paul needs to separate himself from the kooks -- and fast. He has a long,proud record of independent thinking, that could be dragged under fast.
