Ron Paul on Alex Jones 9/11 Truther Show Today (Have at it, Ministry of Silly Explanations)

[conimbricenses]

I had a couple of high school friends who graduated a year ahead of me and went into the military. I drove down to Fort Hood in Kileen to hang out with them a couple weekends. It was in range of Jones' home station and all the guys on the base were addicted to it - not because they believed him because it was so funny.

We used to tune in for humor and I'd LMAO at his stuff. This was about a year pre 9/11 too, so he didn't even have the mother of all conspiracy theories yet. He was still ranting about the UN black helicopters back then.

I moved here to the Austin area in early 01'. One of the first people I met was the cousin of my wife's maid of honor from back home in Louisiana from where we originated.

He was/is an Alex Jones fan and was the first thing he showed me when we started hanging out. I saw a nice looking gentleman speaking very articulately and passionately, but spewing the kookiest conspiracy crap I had ever heard. Everything from the symbols on the dollar bill, the layout of Washington DC, the Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County, CA was a HUGE threat to you and I.

Then 9/11 happened and Alex Jones did what comes natural to him.

[Ditter]

As Ron Paul continues to descend into madness do I see a decline in freeper support for him, or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

[lormand]

You are not seeing things. Many of the hard core surrender monkeys have been booted from the forum permanently. Some of them had accounts pre-9/11, but all were justified.

The few remaining Prawn Paul fans here have demeaned themselves into infesting FR with threads that do not highlight his anti-war suicide pact with Al Qaeda. Although they are smart enough to fly just below the radar of inflaming the entire FR community, they do not possess the courage to come out fighting for Prawn's #1 cause, i.e., surrendering to Al Qaeda in Iraq.

I thought all the RP supporters had been rounded up and put into camps.

"I thought all the RP supporters had been rounded up and put into camps."

I'm sure that is what Alex Jones is propagating right now.

[Iwo Jima]

Neither. We Ron Paul supporters have in effect been told that any positive discussion of his candidacy is not allowed. Negative discussion is not only allowed but encouraged.

Censorship on a private website is certainly acceptable. However, you cannot then claim that the absence (support for Ron Paul) of what you have censored is proof that the thing does not exist.

Wow, my BS meter is pegged out to 12 out of 10.

Where is this nonsense codified on this forum?

I wish it were like you said, because 99.9% of us Freepers prefer that anti-war nutballs leave Freerepublic since we prefer to enjoy each other's like-minded company.

Pro Ron Paul threads should continue to be treated as enemy propaganda here on Freerepublic, just as pro Cindy Sheehan threads would be.

"I thought all the RP supporters had been rounded up and put into camps."...I'm sure that is what Alex Jones is propagating right now.

Paul's not in disagreement that the groundwork for domestic concentration camps has been set. Nor that the President is worthy of impeachment for that matter.

Just remember, Paul doesn't go on his show because he agrees with him.

Two of my keyword suggestions

11. Paul States George Bush is an un-Constitutional President and Should Be Removed from Office

"I'd be surprised if they win both - I think they're going to win one body and if they win the House right now they do not say they would have an impeachment but I think the way that place operates I think they probably will make every effort," said Paul.

"If they happened to have a ten or fifteen vote margin that would be a political thing - it would be payback time."

"I would have trouble arguing that he's been a Constitutional President and once you violate the Constitution and be proven to do that I think these people should be removed from office."

12-Paul Accuses George Bush of Advocating Domestic Concentration Camps

Right now we don't have concentration camps, but like you have pointed out, the authority has been given so that concentration camps can come without Habeas Corpus. I have heard the argument that there is nothing else left in the Bill of Rights. If they can lock you up, what good is freedom of speech or what good is a gun? That is now part of the books, part of the law."

[ariamne]

Rats. I always liked Megadeth and Dave Mustaine—I hate finding out that bands or actors I like are flaming truthers or worse.

[Ditter]

From my point of view, Jimrob is keeping you Paulettes from making even bigger fools of yourselves that you already have. Dr Paul, even though he is a fine doctor and a nice man, is not worthy to be the Republican candidate because he is not willing to defend America from the terrorist who have vowed to defeat us. He aligns himself with 9/11 truthers and needs to be ignored as we ignore them.

[steamroller]

i used to think ron paul made sense on a lot of issues-but alex jones is so far off the edge that paul invalidates his credentials by showing up on that haven for psychotics-i decided tancredo and/or duncan hunter had the best take on the issues-the top tier candidates all suck except maybe thompson,but he seems to lack energy

[lormand]

I saw one of the most stupid Youtube videos ever yesterday.

It was some college kid interviewing Ron Paul in is dorm room. The guy has become a caricature of himself.

[Iconoclast2]

Ever listen to Air America?

[Badeye]

Given the huge negative response to Ron Paul showing up on Alex Jone’s show, its surprising he’s dumb enough to show up on it a third time.

I don’t think Ron Paul is stupid, far from it.

But it seems to me he’s taken ‘contraryism’ to a new extreme.

If he had been criticised for going to Dunkin Donuts, he’d make it a point to stop by each and every day, with an entourage. Its just the kind of person he is, and I think most of us have known somebody like this over the course of their lives.

Its a horrific trait to contemplate inside the Whitehouse when you consider the long term implications.

[lormand]

I used to tune into Air America when Rush would break for a commercial just to get a laugh. It would be Al Franken practically snoring on the mic.

[ironweed]

Agreed.

I think Ron Paul’s political instincts are lousy—akin to Pres. Bush’s appearance at Bob Jones U—it just looks bad.

I’ve never understood the conspiracy mind either and tend to run when someone starts on CFR/TLC, bankers, Opus Dei, etc. Oddly, I think some folks get a real psychic boost from believing they are the first to know the “truth” or they’re the only ones with the “courage” to accept the truth.

Of course, some Americans believe the earth and all the life on it is the result of millions of years of evolutionary process—the rest of us take comfort in the truth of 6 days of Creation.

Indeed.
