Strange Happening at Mackinac   [David Freddoso]

I'm glad I stayed on the island Friday night, but here's an episode I missed, from the Detroit Free Press:

...[Ron] Paul's supporters taunted former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani for alleged complicity in the attacks..

...According to one eyewitness, [Rudy] Giuliani was beset by dozens of Paul enthusiasts as he was leaving the island, some of whom shouted taunts about 9/11, including: “9/11 was an inside job” and “Rudy, Rudy, what did you do with the gold?” — an apparent reference to rumors about $200 million in gold alleged to have disappeared in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers.

Ed Wyszynski, a longtime party activist from Eagle, said the Paul supporters threatened to throw Giuliani overboard and harrassed him as he took shelter in the ferry’s pilothouse for the 15-minute journey back to Mackinaw City.

“It was awful,” said Wyszynski, who supports Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination.

“I was embarrassed to be a Republican. Never, ever, have I seen such a disgraceful performance.”

The Paul campaign denies any involvement, and insists that Paul does not believe 9/11 was an inside job. There is a video of what happened here. Certainly no indications of anyone planning to throw him overboard, but the tape doesn't include the entire ride either.

At the end, upon learning that Giuliani exits at the front of the boat, away from everyone else, one of the Paulites remarks, "Chickens—-!."
