Above all, Dr Ron Paul is a truth-teller.

Another term for “Truther”.

I'm familiar with the PNAC. It is a think tank that Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Bolton, Bill Bennett, and many other highly respected individuals have all been members. Unfortunately, people like Ron Paul and his supporters believe it is a secret Jewish cabal, along with the Elders of Zion.

Between his anti-semitism and his newsletters saying things like “95 percent of the black males in Washington, D.C. are semi-criminal or entirely criminal”, it's no wonder he's built up such a fervent following of Neo-Nazis.

Ron Paul is the Lyndon Larouche of the 2008 Republican primary.
His supporters are a scourge on society with their blackshirt antics, crashing campaign events, disingenuously passing themselves off as legitimate concerned Republicans, and clogging our forum and polls with their filth.
I really wish they would go away, every last one of them.
They are no different than DUmmies and Kossacks, and most of the time are one and the same.
They are the natural enemies of FreeRepublic, and should be treated as such.
It is time we take the forum back. We didn't put up with it from Deaniacs, so why must we put up with it now that they've returned in the name of Ron Paul?

Most of the members of PNAC have stated their positions in books and other writings. They believe in a Machiavellian foreign policy. Boggles my mind that freepers would support a Machiavellian foreign policy.

The source of that newsletter is well known, but the Paul haters continue to bring it up.

I have never seen or heard of any RP supporters saying the equivalent of freep this poll.

As I have said before, I was a long time poster on Townhall which I still consider the best (and a very conservative) forum ever on the Internet. For several years, it was almost completely a self policing forum. If some idiot came on the forum, he was either ignored or defeated by reasoned arguments. It is hard for me to imagine that a forum that advocates free speech would bar almost any type of discussion. However, this is a private forum, so it can do whatever it wants. When TH was in the process of shutting down, a lot of the TH posters went to the Democratic forum. Most, if not all, (including myself) were barred for life from the demo forum.

From what I have seen on this forum over the last few weeks is that the RP supporters have been very reasoned in their arguments. It is the anti RP people who have resorted to name calling and derogatory comments, which has never been a very good or effective debating tactic.
