At the Freedom Walk in Washington DC on September 11, the Fred Phelps Ghoul Squad turned out to harass the families of victims; LGF reader ciaospirit has video of these bizarre organisms: ciaospirit video gallery.

New York also had its share of freaks: 9-11 Conspiracists Invade Ground Zero.

“These people weren’t killed by Arab terrorists. You’ve been lied to!” shouted a woman who looked vaguely like Joey Ramone, holding up one end of a banner that read, “9-11 World Trade Center: Controlled Demolition.” Her name was Lisa Giuliani and she broadcasts her theories though a Pennsylvania grassroots video collective called Wing TV.

She lectured about how only a series of controlled explosions could have so rapidly pancaked the twin towers. “There’s no way jet fuel could have melted all that steel. It was a freefall. The concrete was so thoroughly pulverized, Manhattan was blanketed in dust. Think about it,” she urged. “Do your homework, please!”

Her message played about as badly as could be expected. “I was there, so shut the f*ck up. You don’t know what you’re talking about,” snapped an enraged firefighter in fatigues, stalking off into the crowd.

“You shouldn’t be here. Have some respect,” another firefighter shouted.

“It’s a crime scene,” Lisa Giuliani shot back. “We honor them with the truth. Al Qaeda is a concept. This is state-sponsored terrorism.”

The clamor was all too much for a passing tourist. “God bless America, you bitch!” he screamed in a thick accent.

“Go back to where you came from, you foreigner,” groused a fellow conspiracist.

“But I am French,” the tourist responded indignantly.
