What is behind this Alinsky-style pattern of attack?
We suggest one possible answer to this riddle is Ron Paul's principle political benefactor, globalist financier and libertarian activist for the homosexual agenda, Peter Thiel [edit: reportedly, at least former steering committee member of the Bilderberger globalist manipulators].
As has been noted:
Never forget to follow the money.Levin noted last night that Ron Paul is helping Romney by attacking full throttle Santorum like he did Bachmann and Perry, but won’t spend any significant money attacking Romney. So Levin wants to know what Romney is promising Ron Paul in return:

He’ll be in bed with Obama for the general.(If he can get between Obama and Brian Williams).
Surely, the Paulbots have to feel betrayed by this. Or, are they too deluded, and will make up some twisted excuses for their guy.
I think a Rand Paul VP spot is the deal.
At first glance it doesn’t sound terrible but I haven’t forgotten Rand Paul skipping out on the Bibi address to congress.
Willard the Lib and Uncle Nutjob actually think they are fooling grassroots conservatives with their plan?
The clueless twosome need to know one thing: Romney will never ever EVER be POTUS.
this is disgusting. I despise Romney and Paul BOTH.
Pay attention to the article, please. Click the links. Scrutinize.
Are there still Freepers out there stupid enough to not realize Ron Paul has been a stooge for Romney all along and that when they gave money to Ron Paul they were actually financing Romney's campaign?
Interesting indeed, because a pretty fair case can be made that Santorum was himself a tool of the Romney Campaign to destroy Newt and then - shazam!!!! - Santorum was in the lead. Ruh Roh!
Daffy indeed.
PERFECT!
Which is it folks in Arizona and Michigan ? Romney and Paul ? or Rick Santorum ?
bump
If Romney can stop Paul from running third party , more power to him.
I am reposting this for a good explanation. Pay close attention to #8 and #20:
RON PAUL SUPPORTER PRIMER:
(credit goes to RaceBannon)
#1. Be Arrogant
#2. Be Condescending
#3. Be self-important
#4. Be self-righteous
#5. Tout your superior intellect to help overcome your lack of self-confidence (see numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 then go straight to #15).
#6. Give slippery rhetorical answers to straight questions
#7. Hide/Ignore or spin Ron Paul’s congressional record of 23 Years in Congress, creating 620 bills of which 4 made it to the floor and only one became law.
#8. When cornered and have no truthful or direct response, spout angry, non-topic rhetoric as an answer, then see #19.
#9. Hide your democrat voting status from the public & pretend you’re a republican.
#10. Blame everyone else, never take credit for a problems like Barrack Obama because we are closet Ultra-Liberals
#11. Berate and/or belittle your opponent whenever losing an argument, then see #19
#12. Blame America for the world hating the US and act like an Arab Psychiatrist/Pathologist when promoting the 9/11 Jihad conspiracy.
#13. Be courteous and direct others to their local cable or satellite channel that carries reruns of Conspiracy theory with Jesse “You deserve to lose a few” Ventura.
#14. Copy and paste data from whatever unreliable source you can find to try and validate your argument.
#15. Avoid/ignore any or all valid retort or facts that invalidate your agenda at all costs or whenever possible. (Go back to #6)
#16. Create a fictitious Facebook persona to hide your true identity like our Anarchist/OWS cousins.
#17. Make cowardly drive-by hit and run comment and/or “like” a fellow Paulbot’s hit and run comment.
#18. Bait adversaries by commenting/posting irrelevant points and/or points you were making during your last debate with someone totally different on another topic all together without looking like you are arguing with yourself. Try to avoid looking foolish at all costs.
#19. Scurry over to your nearest Ron Paul thread and alert other bots to join you and that you require assistance because you’re losing your delusional Liberal arguments. Then medicate, repeat, put on your drool bib and go back to marching in the paper slipper brigade.
#20. Follow #18 and 19 to the letter, then surround your opponent and take cheap pot-shots from your behind your fictitious Facebook persona (See #9 and #16).
#21. Before debating, avoid getting fecal matter in or behind your ears when removing your head from your rectum. This will be particularly useful when listening to CD’s of “Dr” Paul in your Toyota Prius.
#22. When casting your ballot for “Dr” Paul during online polls, remember to clear your cookies then repeat. Do this as many times as your fingers will allow or until the next episode of Colbert Reports, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, or your Mother calls down to the basement stairs to tell you that “dinner is ready”.
I’m a Santorum vote fer sure.
Yep, people tend to forget all the crap little Ricky was pulling in the debates and with his ads back when he was low in the polls. He was as nasty and petty as anyone including Bachmann - but no one remembers because he was on the end in the debate and his ad budget was small.
But the vest was nasty as hell. And it was 95% aimed at one person, and that person was not Mitt nor was it Obama. Just sayin.....
Romney doesn’t care about anybody but himself.
He will throw Rue and his other brother, Rand, under the bus before they know what hit’em.
And as for stopping the Nutcase from running third party, who cares if he does? He’d get three votes; his wife, himself and his son.
Yet it is a miracle that Rick is so competitive in the state where Willard was born, raised, and father governed.
THAT was not suppose to happen, hence the TOTAL FREAK-OUT by libs, moderates, and the Establishment now against Santorum.
Doesn’t matter at his point, Oh Angry One.
A vote for Santorum in Michigan on Tuesday is a vote against Romnuts and that’s the goal.
how about the CPAC vote, last year ron paul stuffed the ballot box with his supporters. This year obamney stuffed the box and not a peep from ron paul.
If Paul runs third-party he’ll siphon off more Democrat votes than Republican votes.
“Which is it folks in Arizona and Michigan ? Romney and Paul ? or Rick Santorum ?”
This Arizonan is voting for Newt!
My goal is to save America, and I’m not sure you can figure out how to do that. In fact, I think we are on the verge of the biggest friggin case of buyers remorse in GOP history. And you will be one of the remorseful buyers.
Sadly, I’ll have to suffer the consequences along with you, but at least I can say “told you so.”
Angry? Maybe. But anger and intelligence and being right are not mutually exclusive.
The Santorum folks should be plastering that stadium picture all over the Michigan airwaves and on billboards between now and Tuesday, asking voters if they want to support a LOSER who can’t even get enough players on the field to play the game. LOL.
Now that’s sayin... THE TRUTH.
Except for the establishment Democrats, who are thrilled at Santorum’s rise. And don’t even go there with Reagan. Rick Santorum is NO Ronald Reagan. He insulted all of us with that self righteous comparison last week. We were nauseaus.
I’ve listened to the clips, and I just don’t know what to make of it. Mark Levin is brilliant and I don’t doubt what he says, but just last week I heard a sound bite from Rand Paul himself saying “it’s a secret to me” with regard to a Paul-Romney deal for the VP spot. Now Dad might be making a deal without Son’s approval, but wouldn’t it look pretty bad if they did and Rand then had to be confronted with those comments? He could have slipped by with the usual “keeping all options open” sort of non-answer just as well.
Romney and Paul do make strange bedfellows. I just don’t believe in conspiracies, mainly because human nature is such that most people simply cannot keep their mouths shut and once the word leaks out, the conspiracy is over. This wasn’t leaked - it’s evidently an open secret. Conservatives have advocated an alliance between Gingrich and Santorum, so there’s certainly no reason Romney and Paul can’t form one to.
But have they? Or are we just drawing an inference that isn’t really there...? I sure can’t predict or justify why Ron Paul says and does most of the things he says and does...
Good post...makes a person think.
I remember his petty, snarky BS tactics. And now we’re being exhorted to forget this and go all-in for Santorum now because he’s fortuitously the leading non-Romney candidate at the moment. Pfft.
It seems people are forgetting that Newt is still in this thing.
And the fiddler prince plays on....
Semper Watching!
*****
Read the comments at the link. Paulbots are out in force.
My goal is to save America
And you will be one of the remorseful buyers.
WOW, Angry One.
I didn’t know you had that much power! And that’s for telling me that I’ll be remorseful. I didn’t know that would be how I’m going to feel.
Exactly. I'm a Newt supporter and we are going to vote for Santorum here, and am sending an anti-Romney email out today to all my fellow MI friends hoping to get them to do the same. Newt has no hope here, derailing Romney so Newt can have a chance on super Tuesday is my goal and it's a tactical vote.
Good Job! Much appreciated!!!!
“I’m a Newt supporter and we are going to vote for Santorum here, and am sending an anti-Romney email out today to all my fellow MI friends hoping to get them to do the same.”
Please keep in mind that all the primaries held before April 1st are proportional primaries. If you are a Newt supporter please vote for Newt. You’ll sleep better voting for the guy you want.
I think a Rand Paul VP spot is the deal.
*****************
I agree with you on this. I caught something on FNC a few days ago that hinted at the same thing.
Paulbots are 0bamanite clones.
Einstein,
The Establishment of BOTH parties want Willard over Santorum.
Okay.... now you might wanna chill a bit while making some phone calls into Michigan on Rick’s (and the grassroots) behalf.
Are you obtuse? Or just not very intelligent? Pick one, because you’ve painted yourself in that corner.
You said your goal was to defeat Mitt. I said mine was to save America - which meant to beat Obama. I did not say I had the power to do so, I am engaging in what is known as political debate on a forum. If you are not smart enough to figure that out, go to an entertainment forum.
Oh ignorant one...
Thank you Lakeshark for not just sitting on your hands but taking action to contact your friends.
What’s the Michigan aura right now in Ground Zero Michigan?
We already know about the phone calls and ad blitz from the Bishop. But what about Santorum volunteers on street corners, phone banks, yard signs, and the like? ie Is the mood optimistic,,and do you get a sense that they are mobilized and organized?
Anyone who calls themselves a “Cain Conservative” and supports Rick Santorum is clueless and should be appropriately humble. Because your man cannot stand your boi.
Now, the GOP establishment clearly wants Mitt. The Dim establishment? Oh, they’d take Mitt but they lust for Rick. The fear Newt. They actually feared Cain too.
You’ve been a problem since day one with your bitter, angry attacks. Why don’t you take your vitriol and go somewhere else, troll? You’re not welcome here.
