9/11 SKEPTICS' LUNATIC FRINGE TARGETS VICTIM'S WIDOW
by Andrea Peyser
July 16, 2007 -- THIS time, they've gone too far. A group of 9/11 conspiracy theorists - whackos who deny that jumbo jets brought down the World Trade Center - is on the attack. But their latest target isn't the government, which they claim destroyed the buildings with explosives.
They're using a vicious Internet assault to pick on an elderly widow.
"They're dirty sons of bastards! They are not real men," feisty Ellen Mariani, 69, told me. Ellen lost her husband aboard United 175 on Sept. 11, 2001.
"They have no respect for women, no respect for the dead and no respect for little children who now have been orphaned."
Ellen is the subject of a blistering battering on the Web site of an outfit that calls itself "9/11 Researchers." While conspiracy theories are nothing new - Rosie O'Donnell gave voice on "The View" to the belief the government was involved - these bozos blast fellow conspiracy groups for not going far enough.
On their Web site, Ellen's current, private home address is listed for every whack job to see. There also is "evidence" that her husband helped plan the attacks.
How could a retired, 58-year-old deliveryman help plan the destruction of the Twin Towers? The proof, presented as a kind of "gotcha!" smoking gun, is strikingly shallow.
Linked to the Web site is a copy of a deed transferring her husband's real property to Ellen. He took it out on July 26, 2001, 47 days before the trade center was destroyed.

Your tag line is awful -— but I love it!
The irony is, she has been critical of the government —just not a loon. You’d think these clowns would want to try to win her over, rather than tick her off. Not very bright of them. Regardless of Mariani’s political views, it is pretty darn impressive that she hasn’t taken any money for his death (though I assume she took his life insurance.) Sounds like a tough gal!

Are we sure that she is NOT one of the CTs and that this is not a ruse to get publicity for their “theory”? Sounds to me that she blames the same people as they do.
True.
Sad - but true
Are there no longer harassment laws?
I wonder if these guys might be open to a harassment lawsuit. Remember when somr anti-abortion zealots published home addresses of those judges in Oregon?

Karma's a bitch sometimes, ain't it?
Sorry, I do not have sympathy for Mariani. She lived in New Hampshire at the time of 9/11 and her diatribes (reported by local NH media at first) started before the fire was out at Ground Zero.

I suppose anything is possible, but that would mean she would eventually have to conclude her own hubby was in on the conspiracy. Or, perhaps it is a stunt to make the Rosie-types look rational, compared to these guys. But my gut tells me she is just a grieving widow who watched too many Michael Moore flicks and now the lunatic left is turning on her, just as they turned on Sheehan.
LOL
Well now, I’ve learned my new word for today...
I agree! See link at post #30.
I agree. Bad news.
I have sympathy for anyone who lost a loved one on 9/11. I can understand how a grieving widow could be easily duped by Michael Moore, etc. I hope this experience helps open her eyes.
Is 69 "elderly"? I know people older than that who don't seem elderly.
Someone needs their a** kicked!
This is what the kook looks like in case anyone gets a chance:
To better serve you the main web site for Rick Siegel has moved. The new address for the Web Site is http://www.ricksiegel.com/web/ The new address for the Blog is http://www.ricksiegel.com/plog
The Discovery Channel should have a new series:
“When MIHOPS turn on LIHOPS!”
Scholars for 911 Truth,
Steven Jones has fried Rick Siegel.
Rick Siegel for the Scholars for 911 Truth is no longer a member and no
longer in good standing.
Rick just made a new video clip that clearly shows how 9/11 Mysteries (watch) altered the audio on his original footage by editing in explosions, sirens, and a police call operator. The helicopter flying from the right to left seems to have been temporarily obscured also:
