yes and yes

Well, given the gentleman's clearly defined defense of all humans (life) as equally as important and worthy (except possibly for gays, non-christians, etc.) must he really comment on this at this time? or ever?

Huckabee's Hell was to be seated on the 'Irrelevant Loony' left end of the table with Dr. Paul. The two were so uninvolved, why the hell they were there, it was insulting to these guys. They are both fascist creeps, but they make FAR better television than Captain Underpants and the embalmed Vietnam hero.

OT but FYI:

"The David Goldstein Show" has been canceled. No more Goldy show.

That sucks, he was good on the air, and a fun guy to meet recently.

jeez, Dan, don't make me laugh when I'm drinking red wine over a white carpet.

@3.. I'm sorry, I don't have the time (computer/leisure) to read everything in the news, but just exactly how is Ron Paul a fascist? He actually seems and sounds a bit more rational than any of the others on either side.

On the other hand, the only major candidates I've voted for and who have won...

Paul Wellstone (twice, would've done three, R.I.P)

Jesse Ventura (once, twice would've been nice)

John Kline (once, my bad, go figure).

From some viewpoints, there ain't much difference between ANY of the front runners. So exactly, what is wrong with Dr. Paul? I'm genuinely curious.

@7:
Newcomer??????????

What voodoo said.

@7

Try using the Google. They say you can find practically anything with it. Maybe there's one or two web sides on Ron Paul, fascism, white supremacists, and your run of the mill racists. Good luck.

Sure, I'm a noob. I use someone else's computer when I get the chance, like tonight. I read my local newspapers daily. I follow slog due to some unreasonable connection to my birthtown.

I still don't understand the rabid Ron Paul hatred. Compared to the rest of the candidates, is he really that nuts? Sure I could find anything on Google(tm), to prove whatever I wanted to on any of them, if I wanted to dig deep enough. Give me yer links! The only things I see here are ad hominem attacks against the man.

Paul seems to me the least hypocritical of this field. How am I wrong? I'm not being a smartass, I'm seriously interested in learning something I may have missed. My caucases are next week. But I've had experience with Mormons, evangelicals, and the partisan 'true believers', and Paul really does seem the sanest among the current field.

And, yes it does kinda scare me.

drewl, I'm not gonna sink to calling you a Paulbot, although that is tempting. Typing the difficult three word search "Ron Paul" Racist into google gives you 392,000 results. For instance, CNN.
Is this so hard to follow?

Swift boat, anyone?

The statements were in his political newsletter, its not like some people are making them up after the fact, the record is clear as is the number of endorsements by white supremacists

You want true racists? I grew up in No. Idaho around Mormons and born again nut jobs, along with the Hayden Lake whackos. Google the recent history of minorities in the Mormon church. Observe the contempt of the evangelicals towards anyone who ain't them (i.e. damn near everyone else).

All of them have certain credibility issues in many areas. If the lesser of many evils, is still evil, and there is no 'None Of The Above' option, then so far, Paul seems the most rational option.

Drewl, if you buy into libertarianism, and you believe that social programs should be dismantled (or radically reduced) along with social security, minimum wage, public schools, etc, then yes, Ron Paul is your man, but you should understand what you are voting for.

About the racist (and insane) stuff in his newsletter, I'm not sure how you could compare this to the swift boat stuff. As far as I know, this was actually written out word for word in the newsletter. I don't see it as an accident that Paul is the candidate of racists and 9/11 truthers.

However, I do think Ron Paul is the only candidate crazy enough to BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW no matter how many Iraqis die or what happens to that country. So if this is the main issue for you above all others, then yes, vote for Ron Paul.

Are you serious, drewl? For starters, the Mormons are on the verge of becoming a minority-white church, if they haven't already, thanks to their huge success in proselytizing in Africa and Asia. Second, the white supremacists in Northern Idaho all support Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul. Paul is a member in good standing of the kook brigade, the black-helicopters-are reconnoitering-the-border, flouridated-water-is-sapping-our-vital-bodily-fluids, support-the-Confederacy, David-Duke-supporting, jackboot-thugs kooks. Read about it in The New Republic: http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=e2f15397-a3c7-4720-ac15-4532a7da84ca

There's a very good reason people aren't talking about Ron Paul anymore. You apparently didn't get the memo.

You all are even crazier than I am. Thanks for that. Anyway, reading the OP, I've got that scene from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid running through my head. You know, where Billy lets loose on Bob with the shotgun full of dimes. And he says "How's Jesus look to you now, Bob" right before he pulls the trigger.

fnarf, the white supremacists & black-helicopter libertarians have to support SOMEONE! they's 'Murkins, too!

and, having been in Bozeman last week, i can assure you that they're still talking about ronpaul there - it was the most common bumpersticker i saw, & the topic of a letter to the editor every day.

Ah, yes, Boseman. About the only place left in the world where they'll offer to buy you a drink just for walking down the street with a patch on your jacket that says "NRA Bdnefactor Member."
