Redstate.com bans new Ron Paul supporters

What is it about him that scares the “conservatives”?

I've often wondered the same thing, especially here at FR. The man is trying to keep his oath to defend the constitution and all he gets are the ad hominem attacks. The other candidates can embrace eveything from abortion to amnesty and remain top tier (snort) candidates, single digit also ran's but never nutcases.

Very understandable treatment in the case of MANY (but not all) Paulestinians. Whether they are dishonest, delusional, dense or PUI (Posting Under the Influence) they are deadenders existing beyond the realm of reason.

[McGruff]

Good for Redstate.org. Jim R. is a more patient host than I would be. Whack!

[Kitanis]

I too would never vote for McCain

[mnehring]

You mind if I quote you over and over and over and over?

Antiwar activism is no more welcome on FR than is abortion activism, gay rights activism, gun control activism or any other leftist/socialist cause.

I doubt people are scared of the Paul fellar..... many just don’t agree with his approach on some major issues I suspect.

It is not fear, it is concern that enough people will drink his koolaid (even 1%-2%) that it could split Conservative votes enough to hand Rudy the nomination for our party. The last thing that I want to do is hand the Stormfront/Anti-War/Anti-Israel/Truther/Bircher/Buchananites any sort of victory, even a symbolic one where they can claim to have 'made a difference' (ie, by effecting the vote away from Conservatives.) I believe that there are just enough good Conservatives who have bought into Paul's shtick that it may actually affect the primaries.

[SJackson]

Gosh, can’t imagine why.

[MrB]

It’s actually not possible for leftists (”liberals”) to “add to the discussion”.

Their ideology is indefensible at a logical/issue based level, so they must trot out their victims to whine, or hide their agenda behind something else, usually equally flimsy (ie, global socialism hiding behind global warming).

Once you discount the “hate Bush” motive, there’s nothing left.

[trisham]

Excellent.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Spam Happy Paul supporters brought it on themselves.

[lormand]

You know that sooner or later, the Paultards will abuse and misuse anything they can to promote their new religion.

[B Knotts]

Wolf writes he is tired of “responding to the same idiotic arguments from a bunch of liberals pretending to be Republicans.”

Wouldn't he therefore ban Giuliani supporters?

[reagan_fanatic]

[mnehring]

You hit the nail on the head. OnTheIssues.org has rated Ron Paul a 'Moderate Libertarian'

The American Conservative Union rated Ron Paul only 76 last year and his lifetime rating was never above 82

[trisham]

Bump!

[Allegra]

I wish, I wish, I wish FR would do the same.

So do I. We have enough Ron Paul anti-war spam monkeys as it is. And they all say pretty much the same thing.

[Allegra]

“responding to the same idiotic arguments from a bunch of liberals pretending to be Republicans.”

Nailed it on the head, didn't he?

[elhombrelibre]

I saw where a US Moslem group was endorsing Ron Paul on its website. I wish his supporters would go there instead of here since they’ve more in common with those types of people. If not there, there are plenty of Nazi websites that share the great Guru’s views. FREEPERs who support Run Paul should enjoy the company of their fellow travelers.

[lormand]

"But to call his supporters Nuts only disenfranchise people."

To make believe that Ron Paul 08' is not a refuge for America's kookiest nutballs is colossal stupidity.

Thank God for Freepers because they call it as they see it.
