Cue the Ministry of Silly Explanations..."Guilt by association"..."his message appeals to them because of X"...blah, blah, blah.

Well, we keep getting told this guy is the only conservative in the race. We keep getting told that Reagan said libertarianism is the heart of the GOP. We're told they call it "The rEVOLution." And the problem is, a message that is about conservatism, libertarianism or love should not even remotely appeal to people whose forum tagline is "nothing says lovin' like a jew in the oven."

It's time we gave this band of sideshow freaks the bum's rush out of our party...or at least FR.

"freedom rock" that they developed under the influence of Boston, the Beatles, and Frank Zappa,

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Don't worry, the GOP is successfully re-creating itself as the Neo-Conservative party, which doesn't appeal to all [former] GOPers, so when the schism is complete, the GOP may appeal to a voter base about 60% (or less) of its size during the Reagan heyday.

It's always fun to watch a national political party commit suicide!

I’ve noticed the Paul Qaeda has been pretty quiet around here.
Were they finally shamed into giving up on the antisemitic nutcase, or did they have to be purged?

Of course, if Obama had bands in his corner with similar baggage, all us good, self-hating liberals would just nervously twiddle our thumbs and keep silent.

What’s stranger Run Paul talking about foreign policy or his supporters talking about why it’s okay for him to have bigots as supporters?

Cue the Ministry of Silly Explanations.

What part of "Official Campaign Is Not Involved" do you not understand?

Do you want to deny other people their freedom to associate just because you disagree with their beliefs?

This is one of the dumbest threads on FR, ever.

1) Since when do glorified blog/ezine posts make it to front page news? Hello, topic abuse. The Radars top stories are about Gloria Beckham vomiting and about Lindsey Lohan.

2) The website http://ronpaulapalooza.com/ doesn’t list any bands and in fact says the date is tentative.

3) The Paul campaign has nothing to do with this event. If you can prove it does, call the FEC, because they will fine him and and he will be history. Of course, it’s much easier to smear him by just alluding to it. Same as the accusations of him taking Soros money. If you can prove it - call the FEC. Soros will go to jail. It’s much easier to smear though, isn’t it?

4) He said in the last debate that he doesn’t want truthers etc to support him, because he doesn’t believe what they do and their support doesn’t help him.

Well, we keep getting told this guy is the only conservative in the race.

No, you've been told that Ron Paul is a paranoid kook/anti-war leftist in the party, and that Fred Thompson was the only conservative. Who here have ever said Paul was the real conservative here, without being subject to ridicule?

We keep getting told that Reagan said libertarianism is the heart of the GOP.

But in the next breath, Reagan also said that libertarianism has limits. Still, libertarianism is an important bloc of the GOP. If that POS pro-abortion Rudy can be a Republican, then so can Dr. Paul.

We're told they call it "The rEVOLution."

For the most part, it is. There have been isolated incidents of kooks trying to exploit the campaign for their own personal gain or publicity. When you have a message like Ron Paul has, you're bound to attract the undesirables. I told you this already on the other thread.

It's time we gave this band of sideshow freaks the bum's rush out of our party...or at least FR.

Most of the Ron Paul supporters have already been given the boot here, because they crossed the line or you guys kept pinging the Mods because you were getting beat-down in discussion.

>> Fourth of July holiday weekend in Morehead, Kentucky

Why in the world would ElRon schedule an event in Kentucky in July?

By then, he’ll LONG be out of the POTUS race, and he’ll be fighting for his life to get re-elected to his seat in Congress... right here in Texas.

(And I’ll be working enthusiastically to stop him.)

You are a genius. You could have the other candidates read Paul and his supporters out, simple as that. Campaign on it, I’m sure some wealthy supporters would help you gain influence with the other candidates and then they could take to calling Paul out as an anti-semite and tell the other couple of anti-semites to take a hike.

Apparently they wanted Jane's Addiction. Their lead singer Perry Farrell (born Peretz Bernstein) has an article on beliefnet.com that reads in part:

"You know when you tell me that the Bible was invented by someone...and it never happened, that is like telling me that I am not real, because you are speaking about my family. Because that book is a history of my family. My name, Peretz, was chosen in honor of one of those relatives. You see, the Jewish people, whether they understand it or not, are living proof that they are not myths but real history. And because we are kept alive this very day is in fact proof that God exists because, if it weren't for his intervention, we wouldn't be here. And that is a reason to praise his name."

I study the Torah. And when a person tells me that the Torah is a book written by some man, I tell him, "When explored, the Torah is an operating system that has overtures to genetics, music and metaphysics."

To understand what you really have in your hands when you hold the Torah inspires awe. The author is divine.

I don't know what happened with the booking, but the first band they wanted probably isn't anti-Jewish.

According to Andrew Sullivan, Fred is a bisexual.

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/06/republicans-and.html

How long do you think that article would last in Front Page News?

It’s just as unsourced as yours.

I’m just sayin’.

I think you're painting with a broad brush if you're saying that all Paul supporters are racist biggots. I would think the real Paulists would demand that Paul clean house and stop playing Mickey the Dunce on the issue.

If you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, the one who gets hit will yelp. The more I see pathetic slime-balls like this try to drag Ron Paul down with mud and unsubstantiated paranoid delusions, the more I’m starting to like him.

Didn't take them long. They flock to threads they claim beat a dead horse so shouldn't be posted to begin with. Go figure.
