Huh, that's odd. The Paulites keep reassuring us that Dr. Paul wants nothing to do with Troofers. Yet he keeps going back on the radio show of the king of 9/11 conspiracies. Can't wait to see their latest excuse for this one... *snicker*

[Schnucki]

I'm guessing that there are a lot of truthers out there.

Aren't most truthers democrats, though? The rest are probably not even from the USA.

Paul is just “old dogging it”. He has been a protest candidate forever. He does not deny anything, even his Paul Newsletter stuff. Ever noticed that Paul’s supporters are the one’s denying and defending their own platforms. The ones they believe that Paul supports.

The more of these “interviews” he does, the more he gets his minions to defend him. As an “old dog”, he is just keeping quiet, spending the money, and letting the “protest candidates” do his protesting and oftentimes making fools of themselves. All the while knowing full well he has no chance, won’t run again, and can go out a little more loudly than he thought.

Would you have been upset about the matter if the 'troofers' had supported Fred McRomneyani?

No, probably said what this Ron Paul supporter says: A vote is a vote.

Got hypocracy?

Paul is a personal friend of Jones. He has stated repeatedly that he doesn't share his views. Jones' show is just another media outlet for Paul to get his views out.

Yes, Ron appears on the Alex Jones radio program. But you know who else talks to Alex Jones? People like Judge Anthony Napolitano. Guess who hosts Alex Jones? FOX’s John Gibson and National Public Radio. Dr. Paul has said time and again that he does not believe 9/11 was an inside job. He does, however, think we should always question authority. When, by the way, were conservatives supposed to become trusting of big government?

Why do you care who Paul courts? You're not going to vote for him anyway, right?

Libertarians Break With Paul

November 22, 2007 by Michael van der Galiën

http://mvdg.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/libertarians-break-with-paul/

Very early in the morning today (Dutch time), co-blogger Jason Steck published a good post about how some Libertarians believe that Ron Paul is bad for the Libertarian movement (because of his association with ‘truthers,’ white supremacists, and so on).

In his post, Jason linked to this post at the Volokh Conspiracy by Ilya Somin. Somin explains that Paul doesn’t just hurt the Libertarian movement, he’s not even as Libertarian as he and his followers pretend.

Anyway, what I find interesting to see is that increasingly more Libertarians are abandoning Paul. Let me give you an example: Kevin writes at the Liberty Papers that he’s “done with Ron Paul.” The reason? Paul is sucking up to conspiracy theorists and alike. Yesterday, he - and not for the first time - appeared at Alex Jones’ show. This was the final drop for Kevin.

I can understand Kevin quite well, and I’m wondering why it is that Paul doesn’t distance himself from the nutcases. There are two explanations possible, in my opinion, I think it’s the second:

- Paul agrees with (most of) them. He doesn’t object to them, because he agrees with them. He just doesn’t say what they say because he knows it’ll hurt his career.

- Paul didn’t expect to do so well. Suddenly he sees money coming in constantly. He’s part of a movement. Its leader even. He didn’t expect it and now that it’s happening he’s simply enjoying the ride. He’s not occupied with ‘who’ support him, nor with why they support him. He’s happy that they’re supporting him: they’re taking him somewhere he didn’t expect to be.

I’m thinking that’s it.

Of course, fringe groups give quite a lot of money as well.

Ron Paul Makes Thanksgiving Eve Appearance With Alex Jones

http://www.thelibertypapers.org/2007/11/21/ron-paul-makes-thanksgiving-eve-appearance-with-alex-jones/

For some more pandering to the Troofers and other conspiracy theorist whackjobs. I’ll listen for anything of note, but as of now, I’m done with Ron Paul.

The Ron Paul campaign has unfortunately become a gathering place for 9/11 “Truther” morons, racists, neo-Nazis, Southern secessionists, fascists, conspiracy theorists, wannabe authoritarians, Birchers, and nativists that I do not want to be associated with. Worst of all, the candidate himself knows about these err….outside of the mainstream supporters and he refuses to publically repudiate them and refund the donations from the most high profile ones. (No Lew, I’m not calling for Ron Paul to do background checks on all of his supporters, just refuse the donations from the high profile scumbags). If a candidate thinks its alright to make common cause with these people, especially one who is running a “principled” campaign on restoring liberty, than I have to question his conscience for aligning with these people at best and question his ability to lead at worst. I’ve come to the conclusion that a Ron Paul candidacy unless he repudiates these people who do not share the belief in liberty, will harm the overall freedom movement by giving the impression to the American people that “freedom” and “liberty” are just code words for fascism, racism, and conspiracy mongering like the “New World Order” and the “North American Union”.

The precedent is there. Ron Paul needs to follow it for entire freedom movement’s sake.

Until then, this classical liberal is not a part of the Ron Paul Revolution.

Why doesn’t this surprise me?

Now all the brainwashed sheeple of his are going to be spinning and denying that he was really on the show just like they deny that he wrote all those letters, and takes support from racists and neo-nazis, etc.

[UKrepublican]

Yet another smoking gun.

Alex Jones and co are nothing more than closet anti semites and racists.

His audience is made up aside from the far left ‘truthers’, neo nazis and other racists.

It is sickening that ANY gop voter would cast their vote in favour of a man that wants to appeal to that sort of audience.

Let there be no doubt about it, Paul is doing this for a reason - he KNOWS who his core support, and while publicly the Paulbots spam away every site known to man, about how we can’t judge him for this, appealing so blatantly to such an audience is the smoking gun.

Be gone with this moron, he doesn’t value the party, he is in fact ready to stand against it as he has in the past.

Shame on any American that casts a vote in his favour.

[txgirl4Bush]

The Ron Paul crowd is attacking every forum, website, or poll, that tries to tell the truth about Ron Paul. They stir up strife and hatred everywhere they go. Check out why08.org and you can see the same attacks there. I think they have a system down to where when one Paulnut sees something negative about thier master, they contact each other and mount an attack on whatever website.
