Andrew Napolitano is a so-called “truther.”<\/p>\n

He believes the 9\/11 attacks were somehow concocted by the federal government.<\/p>\n

According to Media Matters, a left-wing journalism watchdog organization, Napolitano — a Fox New contributor and former judge — said this: “Napolitano has made numerous appearances on (radio talk show host Alex) Jones’ show. During a 2010 i<\/a>nterview, Napolitano told Jones, ‘It’s hard for me to believe that [World Trade Center building 7] came down by itself,’ adding, ‘I think twenty years from now, people will look at 9-11 the way we look at the assassination of JFK today. It couldn’t possibly have been done the way the government told us.’ After his appearance, families of 9-11 victims criticized<\/a>\u00a0Napolitano for being “willfully ignorant of the facts surrounding the collapse of WTC 7.”<\/p>\n

Why bring this up?<\/p>\n

A potential candidate for president in 2016 has written a foreword in Napolitano’s new book, “Suicide Pact: The Radical Expansion of Presidential Powers and the Assault on Civil Liberties.” The possible candidate is U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who now\u00a0is associated with someone who has some truly nutty ideas.<\/p>\n

His new book also chastises President Lincoln for provoking the Civil War when, according to Napolitano, slavery was dying a natural death anyway.<\/p>\n

Let’s not forget as well that he believes President Obama is usurping our liberties and freedom.<\/p>\n

But this post is about truthers and the idiocy surrounding the notion that the 9\/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington were an inside job.<\/p>\n

Andrew Napolitano is one of them. And for the life of me I cannot understand a sitting member of the Senate contributing to this guy’s literary career. To think we call these people “truthers.”<\/p>\n

Be sure to keep this bit of intelligence in mind the moment Sen. Paul declares his presidential candidacy.<\/p>\n
