ron on alex jones today, a reminder.
also stop all the negativity, the campaign is on track.
despite media blackout, ron got 10 % in Iowa
might be trolls as was suspected, im sure there is lots disinformation, also as ron inspires so much passion, there are lots of feelings, but calm down, easier to think then..
btw its very suspicious there is no total count yet, especially since the counting is secret with computers...
keep up the good mood, and stay calm and ignore the troll posts..
good luck
====================
Alex is pleased to welcome US Representative and presidential hopeful Dr. Ron Paul to discuss his run for the White House, the Iowa Caucuses and other upcoming primary elections, and his exclusion from upcoming GOP primary debates
Kent Snyder
Alex is also joined by Ron Paul's presidential campaign manager Kent Snyder to discuss his candidate's incredible performance in the Iowa Caucuses
Trevor Lyman
Alex also speaks with the man behind some of Ron Paul's most impressive fundraising efforts, Trevor Lyman, about his methods and future fundraing plans.
“Any sort of conspiracy theory strikes me as odd, and the anti-semitic stuff especially so,...”
Well Ford did have his own newspaper at one time, the Dearborn Independent and he even published a multi-volume bookset called The International Jew.
“Weren’t the two mutually congratulatory at least at one point?”
Good question. I am certainly going to have to look into it. I would be curious to see what Ford thought of National Socialism in the 30’s. Was he like Charles Lindbergh? Did he have contact with the Germans and the party? Damn you for making me more curious. I have better things to do, but it will gnaw at me until I know. LOL!
I guess in the end, regarding Ford & Hitler, does it really matter? At least in the U.S. the number of people holding such views is small. I will tell you one thing, I find posts and posters like that really tend to creep me out. I am sure he is unique and NOT representative of typical Ron Paul supporters.....at least I hope not. Most of them seem nutty enough without being anti-semites as well.
My own usual, but not very informative, answer to such a question generally runs "Well, whatever his supposed ideology, Hitler was a homicidal maniac, sometimes raving, and whoever else we're talking about probably wasn't -- probably just some degree of resentful and confused."
“Hitler was a homicidal maniac, sometimes raving, and whoever else we’re talking about probably wasn’t — probably just some degree of resentful and confused.”
Probably the only differance between Hitler and some of the home grown variety, Like Aryan Nation and other is that Hitler could kill large groups, and our own, if they thought they could get away with it, one or a few at a time. Fortunatly most of the homegrown clowns just keep it all behind their closed doors. Or play on the internet with anonymity.
There's no blame, Paul's campaign knew it would get 4th or 5th. Actually, he was a few percentage points away from a three-way tie for 3rd with McCain and Thompson.
Plus Paul carried a county and got 2 delegates. He also spanked Rudy. I'd say it was a pretty satisfactory night.
Alex Jones is a nationally-syndicated radio show host. From a media standpoint, it's no different than Paul going on Rush's show.
You weren't going to vote for him anyway, just like the majority of the usual suspects on this thread who endlessly piss and moan about a candidate who has a slim chance of winning the nomination.
To give any acknowledgement to a wing-nut like alex jones is insanity.
Alex Jones is a radio show host. Who gives a feces what his personal views are? If Hillary went on Rush's show, does that make her a conservative?
Ron Paul makes his political position clear on 9/11 Truth

Ron Paul on Glen Beck (denounces Truthers and conspiracy theorists)
What amazes me is how totally committed he is to the false world he’s mistakenly created. I’ve never seen anyone so completely fooled by their own misinterpretation of reality. The poor guy, you can tell he’s a good soul and a true patriot, but he is truly living in a parallel world. I wish he’d snap out of it because he’s poisoning a lot of people’s minds, most of them conservatives.
Except that Jones has a fraction of Rush's audience, and the vast majority of the listeners he does have all tend to have the same taste in hats - shiny, silvery, crinkly ones, to be precise.
