"Wacko" in the original title for this article.

*************

Heavens. How surprising. :)

[George W. Bush]

I note this typical smear in the article as well:

Among many other things, we learn from the article that Paul had never heard of "The Daily Show" until he was a guest and referred to the magazine GQ as "GTU." It also notes that he was the only congress member to vote against the Financial Antiterrorism Act and a medal to honor Rosa Parks, among many others tallies, based on principle, not politics. He also is praised by liberal Rep. Barney Frank as "one of the easiest" members to work with because "he bases his positions on the merits of issues."

Yet another smear.

Ron Paul opposed the Rosa Parks gold congressional medal because he doesn't believe Congress is authorized to waste the taxpayers' money on such things. He also opposed medals for Ronald Reagan and for Pope John Paul II.

He challenged the Congress to join him and pay for the medals out of their own pockets instead, something that would have meant something. Needless to say, they wouldn't spend their own money, only the taxpayers' dollars.

[Notice how the NRO writer initially smeared Ron Paul as usual but a vigilant reader's email forced him to correct himself.]

According to its political correspondent Richard Burke, speaking to the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, “Three-quarters of the people who decide what goes on the front page (of the Times) are ‘not-so-closeted’ homosexuals.”

The New York Times knows wacko. I believe they are still on record as denying Joseph Stalin’s Ukrainian Holocaust. Holocaust denial by the New York Times. How wacko is that?

[TEEHEE]

Why has the title been modified to include “Israel-haters”? Do Ron Paul and his supporters hate Israel?

[Zionist Conspirator]

The co-host, Connie Ruffley of United Republicans of California, admits she once was a member of the radical right John Birch Society and when she asks for a show of hands "quite a few" attendees reveal that they were or are members, too. She refers to Sen. Dianne Feinstein as "Fine-Swine" and attacks Israel, pleasing some while others "walked out."

Yep, sounds like a Birchite to me! And I should know . . . I used to be one!

The Birchites are Israel-hating "chr*stian reconstructionists," and they absolutely hate and detest pro-Israel Fundamentalists! They also want absolutely nothing to do with the "chr*stian right" (other than maybe dishonestly win their votes for the anti-Israel candidates they support).

Still, props to those few pro-Israel "palaeos" that have always existed: Taft, Benson, McIntire, etc.

His threads should be labeled buffoon alert

Ron Paul is the Lyndon LaRouche of the right.

[the candidacy of Ron Paul is] .. Anti-American

He was the only Republican to vote against supporting Israel last summer and voted alongside Kucinich in not condemning Iran’s president for Holocaust denial.

You mean the one presidential candidate that has agreed with 70 democrats to cut off funding to our troops on the battlefield, so they can not eat or have ammunition to fight al Qaeda that attacked us on 9/11? You are talking about that candidate, paulnut?

the fact that Ron Paul is a tool for 911 conspiracy kooks, and himself aligning with Rosie O’Donald and Cindy Sheehan should be highly suspect of any member of Freerepublic.

Ron Paul 2008 threads should belong on DU, not Freerepublic. It is no longer about Dr. Paul’s stance on the Constitution. He is a certifiable nut-case.

Their Absolutist mentality as the Ron Paul type are no different than the Islam O Fascists

libertarianism is the cousin of anarchy.

this blame America first, white flag waver

If you are for Ron Paul, you are no supporter of America

How can any decent human being who also happens to be a member of Freerepublic NOT see the insanity of propagating kook conspiracies

at least I’m not a surrender monkey

I will make you Paulistinians eat these words until there is no longer a Ron Paul 08 campaign and beyond.

Ron Paul is a tool for 911 conspiracy kooks

a white flag waving, anti-American, coward like Ron Paul.

things that sound like he is a member of DU he turns us off and makes himself out to be a nut.

He is called anti-American because of his Blame America First statements

He wants to surrender to the terrorists in Iraq. What could be more anti-American?

Freerepublic should not be a forum to propagate hate against America and to further kook conspiracy theories championed by Rosie O’Donald and Cindy Sheehan

Take the Ron Paul nut-ball campaign to some forum composed of like minded wackos

All the smears fit to print. Good to see the Fred and Rudy fans have finally come out in the open and declared the veracity of the MSM, as well as their penchant for tarring by association. It is easy to see how if Fred and Rudy were held to the same standards they would both be found wanting.
