9/11 SKEPTICS' LUNATIC FRINGE TARGETS VICTIM'S WIDOW

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.

These conspiracy fruitcakes are just vicious jackals. They need to upgrade their tinfoil hats.

Would be too bad if these guys ran into a righteous person or persons, and accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.

The "compassion" of the left on display yet again.

Will there be the same outrage from the Today Show, etc., for these nuts as there was for Coulter over her Jersey Girl comments? Somehow, I’m betting they don’t even cover it.

I’m sure he’d consider it.

It would be appropriate if somehow these brutes had THIER names and addresses plastered on the internet and if this widow had promises from some of the Rolling Thunder guys to be her “protection”.....

The Web site is the work of a Rick Siegel, who hawks DVDs that purport to prove the trade center's destruction was an inside job. He is partners with Nico Haupt, who is known for sending blistering e-mail rants to trade-center survivors.

At one time I debated Nico Haupt on a 9/11 conspiracy web site for a few months until he was thrown off the moon bat web site for being too extreme. I can tell you from first hand experience the guy is a certifiable loon.

I’ll bet this is the same bunch of wacko lunatics who kept whining that Slick Willie blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in OKC. With Fat Rosie as their spokesman, I don’t know why anyone would pay any attention to them.

One reason the political left is so bold, frankly, is that the political right let them get away with so much over the last 40 years. They behave irresponsibly with impunity. They fear no consequences because they have suffered no consequences.

Our side really dropped the ball bigtime in dealing with these guys. I have said many times, the high road serves very little earthly purpose. The losers circle is the losers circle, plain and simple.

There was a time not that long ago that these smirky, self important jackasses would turn the wrong corner and suddenly find themselves in desperate need for $10,000+ in dental work. Kinda hard pulling off that toothy grin with so many gaps in it, you know?

This is horrible but we could only hope they would continue to be so bold. Hopefully this gets picked up by the talk show circuit and fox news. This is the kind of story that resonates.

You’re right: I was a kid in the sixties. My granddad hated hippies. The words p*ssies and pansies came out several times. The words back then (if my recall is worth anything) is that it was just kids being young and stupid. Those young and stupid hippies grew up to run the country.

These people are cowards. Otherwise, if they really did think any of these insane notions had merit, they would be doing a lot more than this. Targeting an old woman. Pathetic.

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!
