Ron Paul is still mad as hell over America's killing of U.S.-born terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki - and he's warning that members of the media could be next on the government's target list.
The Republican presidential hopeful told an audience at the National Press Club on Wednesday that if citizens do not protest al-Awlaki's death, the country could start broadening its threat list to include reporters.
"Can you imagine being put on a list because you're a threat? What's going to happen when they come to the media? What if the media becomes a threat? ... This is the way this works. It's incrementalism," the 76-year-old Texas congressman said.
"It's slipping and sliding, let me tell you," Paul added.

If those of you who post here candidly don’t think you are on some kind of a threat or watch list against the establishment for being even remotely politically active, you need to wake up. Having political beliefs has become a threat.
This isn’t the same USA where patriots once defended our rights to speak our mind. Your rights are at risk just by speaking your mind on a public forum. Each and every one of you have had a dossier established on your politics and psyche.
You think establishment shills on talk radio or in the media are ever going to defend you? Since I’m older I don’t give a crap and I will say exactly what is on my mind which is our right.
