“We’re not necessarily against Duncan Hunter. We’re just here to support Ron Paul,” said Robert Brushaber of Austin.”

Then support Ron Paul at a Ron Paul function. Mail him some money. Leave our threads and rallies alone, please.

Who are you talking about?

Paul had a good weekend in the DFW area it seems........

The single most-successful fundraiser of the Ron Paul 2008 campaign took place last night in Highland Park, Texas (Dallas). The event was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Huffines.

The Huffines family opened their beautiful home and graciously hosted many supporters of Dr. Paul's. The evening ended with $102,000 donated to Dr. Paul's presidential campaign!

The times that I have heard him on Air America the enthusiasm for him is almost 100%.

Here at FR he pulls 6.5% among members, have you seen any poll numbers for him at DemocratUnderground, I would assume his support there might be higher.

“...30 supporters crashed a rally that Rep. Duncan Hunter, a presidential hopeful from California, held outside the Water Gardens. As Hunter spoke to 50 Republicans about supporting the troops, Paul supporters stood just feet away, holding up Ron Paul signs. We’re not necessarily against Duncan Hunter. We’re just here to support Ron Paul,” said Robert Brushaber of Austin. To further cement their friendliness, as Hunter led his audience in a rendition of God Bless America, Paul supporters quickly joined in.” - article

What exactly is the objection here? That Paul supporters with placards appeared at a Hunter rally? IF holding signs in proximity to political opponents is unfair, there are many hundreds of FreeRepublic posts praising and even coordinating “unfair” activities.

My first hand experience with Paul backers is that:

a) most are not republicans

b) most are not conservatives

[free_life]

Paulestinians are as disgusting as their leader.

Then throw your own freakin party you cheap bastards!

According to one of our correspondents, a live monkey could clearly be seen in the window of one of the Ron Paul RVs.

Only one monkey? I guess it was better than a dead monkey. Texas heat can't be too good for an animal locked up in an RV with no A/C running.

Ron Paul himself is a Log Cabin Republican. See this thread for his endorsement:

2004 - Log Cabin Congratulates Our Victorious Candidates (2004)

So he is absolutely no conservative.

I looked further into his endorsements and found he is also backed by the VelvetRevolution.us

Soros has made grants available for Velvet Revolutions oversees and here.

THEY are pretty scary.

Maybe Hunter will convince a few of those Paulites who the LEADER is....

Before the obligatory Paul bashing begin, let me be the first to condemn these actions of Paul's supporters. Very disgraceful on their part.

I don't think it was disgraceful and I won't condemn them. But they should have put down their signs for his speech and given Duncan the respect he deserves. OTOH, these may be some inexperienced RP supporters who didn't think about etiquette. It's one thing to wear a RP T-shirt to another canidate's rally but holding or waving signs is over the line.

Duncan is a good man. We RP folk have no grudge against him.

EEE, you want me to ping the List From Hell for this thread?

Follow the money.

Who gives a fart about you? Where's Ron Paul's condemnation of these scumbags? Your schizoid dorky hero better get control of his campaign. When you court moonbats you have to be answerable for the consequences.
