'Bush knocked down the towers': Is Macklemore a 9/11 truther?

Now that rapper Macklemore has won a Grammy for Best New Artist, it seems he’s less shy giving his opinion. We didn’t have him pegged as a 9/11 truther, but the above tweet (posted in 2009) and his lyrics certainly suggest otherwise.

Where’s Dick Cheney at? Probably off in Iraq
Finding some oil to tap, tell ’em I got up on that
And y’all still think it was Bin Laden
When it was us and the Masons, plotting on oil profits

Hopefully Macklemore will go the way of so many Best New Artists before him and fade away quickly.
