Not to the unhinged. I am 100% positive I will get nasty rude comments from Paul supporters for no more than what I have already posted, but will that be what I deserve or am I just not taking responsibility for my actions?

So one guy does a post about how funny it would be to dress up in Klan garb and harass a political candidate....but some folks don’t get his sense of humor.

Then other folks respond to his post thinking it would be funny to make rediculous threats......but some folks don’t get their sense of humor.

Did you read the article? He wanted his followers to dress up in KKK outfits and show up at Paul rallies in support of Paul ... that is NOT criticism - it is leftist smearing of opponents.

"If you live in South Carolina and want to have some fun with these Paulbots here is what we do, ... Go online and buy or make your very own KKK robe, complete with hood (hood is important). Then get some Ron Paul signs or make your own. Follow Paul around South Carolina and be sure to get photographed by the media. Again, hoods are important. All can be Klansmen for Paul. Black, white, Jewish, Asian - those Paulbots will s**t a brick."

So, I stand by my statement - I have little sympathy for someone who calls for such actions. He is well within his rights to do so, but he also bears the responsibility for his words / actions. I also stand behind my comment that the reactions to the comments where typical overreaction by fringe elements. Threats are never justifed in such situations, but the lunatic fringe is always there - and the WILL act very predicatably to such statements.

If, OTOH, he had simply called Paul a crazed, truther, Jew hater, which is hard for Paul or his supporters to credibly deny, he would have my full support. But he did NOT merely criticise - he called for a concrete leftish smear attack against an opponent.

And - the taxpayer is now paying to investigate threats against and protect the idiot who posted such assassine comments - not Paul.
