How a Ron Paul supporter 'learned to love Big Brother'

Revolusion 2008 has the most amazing sequence of screenshots featuring one of RP's big supporters having an online meltdown over the release of old RP newsletters which have been been raising questions, at the very least, of whether RP is a racist and/or homophobic. examples (oh, and this is one guy over the course of a few hours):

"Need some come back lines real quick. They aren't buying the campaign's story after seeing these."

"My roomates just came in and looked at the solicitation letter, they are screaming. I am going to get some drinks..."

"I think what upsets me most is that the campaign ran with the line that they knew nothing about them when they were written and were denounced, now with the way they were written and the signatures...I feel like i do nothing but make excuses anymore.. DAMN!"

"OK, OK, I think I'm seeing clearly now...look who we are fighting. if these people can manufacture a war...."

"Quit fucking telling me to relax. it seems we are always being told "trust us". I need more right now."

"Let's just stick with the line that the signatures are fake. Anything else just confuses the situation."

"How do we get this out there?"

"...but the point is to repeat it over and over. we can make that thought reality."

just some excerpts, but, essentially, this guy could be told 2+2=5 at this point..

i've always heard that you can judge someone by the friends they keep...and here's Klansman David Duke offering Paul advice on how to cope, probably unsolicited, but online.


thanks to LGF.

Air America host says he's glad the tiger killed the boy

from Radio Equalizer:

LIONEL: Call me wacky, but hurray for the tiger that killed the kid who was... taunting him. Now, I know this is not right... but let's hear it for the wild... I loathe zoos.

nice, Lionel. they can never just leave it at "i hate zoos". it has to go straight to "i'm glad a human died at the hands of one of the oppressed animals". apparently, this blood-thirst extends itself beyond animals in captivity...

I'm still cheering the fact that some stingray whacked that Aussie pain in the ass Steve Irwin.

and to show it wasn't just a slip of the tongue, he repeats it on his own blog:

If you shoot a tiger with a sling-shot, you deserve to get mauled. That’s just how it works.

hmm...i wonder what his stance on capital punishment would be?

speaking of liberals making fun of people being killed by animals, check this out:

bullsh*t "sting" operation nabs "pervert" in Ohio...

so, this FIREMAN in Columbus, OH, goes by a certain park every day and keeps noticing a female sunbathing topless (which is apparently legal there--cool). on his day off, he strolls by and strikes up a conversation with her. all the while she is writhing about on the ground and, at one point, even throws her leg over his shoulder. eventually, she asks him to show her his penis. he complies, and immediately, some overweight police officers wearing shorts come over and arrest him.

he's just been convicted of public indecency.

ABC did a story on it, and it's on their website under the title, "Topless Woman Lured Perverts in Police Sting". video of the entire incident is in the story, but, it's grainy and there's no sound. but, it seems clear to me that this guy was no "pervert", just a guy who did something stupid and got caught. if i was looking at a woman's breasts and she asked me to whip it out, i would have to say my, um,
defenses may be slightly impaired.

this angers me no end. i also believe that "johns" busted by undercover cops posing as streetwalkers are getting a raw deal. if the opportunity were not there, no crime would've been committed. aren't "real" crimes feeding our legal system enough? according to recent government reports,

By midyear 2002, America's jails held 1 in every 142 U.S. residents. Males were incarcerated at the rate of 1,309 inmates per 100,000 U.S. men, while the female incarceration rate was 113 per 100,000 women residents.

clearly, we're jailing plenty of people. and that's just the numbers who are actually in jail! what about all of the people who are arrested for misdemeanors and don't do jail time? we're really talking numbers, here...

isn't it weird...these guys can set up this sting and bust this unfortunate fireman. meanwhile, i'm sure there are illegal aliens abound in their neck of the woods...that are needed because we don't have enough "americans" who will do the jobs, y'know, like construction... well, why not just stop targeting people for doing stupid, but basically harmless things? let's focus this imaginative energy on stings for businesses that hire illegals! leave AMERICANS alone! whatever happened to our FREE country?

you would think that ACLU lawyers would put an end to this kind of crap, pronto. but, if you think about it, the ACLU is only a subset of a much greater set...THE LEGAL PROFESSION. you know, the ones who benefit from crime and the expansion of what is "criminal", from the writing of the laws to the interpretation of the laws to the enforcement of them...it's the power grab that never ends. and, to think, many americans want to give them the power over their health care...sheesh...

Ron Paul picks up endorsement from the owner of the Moonlight Bunny Ranch

brothel owner Dennis Hof of Nevada has decided to endorse Ron Paul for president, after being pointed in his direction by friend and MSNBC host Tucker Carlson.

one of the elements of Hof's support is a vow to put up a collection box outside the door of the Bunny Ranch~

"I'll do it today," he said. "I'll get all the Bunnies together and we can raise him some money. I'll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1 dollar, $5 dollar contributions. What a great way for the working girls to support Ron Paul. It's just the right thing to do."

awesome.

...Hof said Paul's anti-establishment, libertarian platform of "live and let live" resonates in a state that permits legalized prostitution.

While Paul professes a limited-government philosophy, he's also hews to a deep Christian faith, is pro-life and reportedly is so traditional that he doesn't travel alone with women.

Campaign spokesman Jeff Greenspan said he doesn't think Paul will have any problem accepting the brothel's money.

"On a personal basis, he doesn't condone those things," Greenspan said. "At the same time, from his campaign perspective, it's not the role of federal government and it's not in the constitution for federal government to regulate these thing. The Nevada voters and Legislature have decided it is a legal activity in this state."

high fives all around!
