the disingenuous response to charges of RP racism
though the excuses from paulists for their statism vary, many assert that RP running for chief thug allows unprecedented spread of “the liberty message”. education!
okay, where’s the education regarding the newsletter flap? instead of confronting the tired word “racism” directly and matching it up against positions ron paul must hold if he’s to be consistent in his stated opinions, the RP squad sends out an alert. “divert — dive! dive! dive!”
perhaps the best example here (via LRC). black people like ron paul! they don’t think he’s a racist!
somebody fetch a bucket for my throwup.
if the real goal of the RP disavowal of principle is to educate, maybe the LRCers should get busy, instead of crumbling like the cheapest of PC stooges, don imus style. wait until next month, when lew rockwell will invite the usual skin whore team (al sharpton and jesse jackson) down to auburn for a televised ring kissing ceremony.
want to educate, paulists? you need to grow a pair first.
“but ron paul won’t get elected telling the truth!”
right. BTW, while i don’t recall any firm evidence of racism from those newsletters, some of the fundraising shit that went out under his name reads like over-the-top mimicry of the most laughable survivalists. it should be remembered, and it should be shoved right in his face as he plays the lovable gramps routine to the hilt. which face will you don this year, ron? who do you want to be today?
CHORUS
Who do you want to be today?
Who do you want to be?
Who do you want to be today?
Do you want to be just like someone on T.V.?Oh boredom is so terrible, it’s like a dread disease
Nothing could be worse
than when there’s nothing on T.V.
I’d rather be a cowboy than to stare blank at the walls
I’ve been reborn so many times
I can’t remember them all
(And I say)CHORUS
Just like someone on T.V.!
I think I’ll be a teddy boy, I think I’ll be a hunk
I think I’ll be a tough guy and I think I’ll be a punk
I might just be a fashion star
All dressed in frilly rags
Or perhaps I’ll cross the other side
and walk around in
Drag!CHORUS
Just like somebody on T.V.!
Do you like to be just like a rock
in the middle of the sea
Do you want to suffer by yourself
in a pool of blissful misery
Do you want to feel like a saint in artists’ clothes
With a rosary in your hand
Do you wanna be crazy like Van Gogh like a
stranger in a
Strange, strange landWould you rather push the buttons
And be feared by all humanity
Or perhaps you’d like to be a bum
Do you wanna be stupid, just like meCHORUS
Just like somebody on T.V.!
Who do you want to be . . . . .
ron paul is a pussified liar.

At first I thought all these RPer posts were just you venting steam about how awful you thought these people were, but now I see that your ulterior motive is to show, by deconstructing their actions and responses to crises, why RP supporters can’t be any but the dumbest of dolts.
In other words, I think your objective is to show why it is that the people who are attracted to RP are who they are– because they aren’t consistent supporters of liberty (they don’t actually believe in it), because they’re not as intelligent as they think they are, because they don’t understand the issues they claim are important to them, etc.
Good work. Sorry, it all just “made sense” to me suddenly with this post/debacle, I really did think before that you just had a bone to pick (not an arbitrarily-picked bone, but a bone to pick nonetheless).
Also, South Park nailed this “ring kissing” in an episode where Randy Marsh (Stan’s dad) had to go kiss Jesse Jackson’s ass during a photo-op apology to be excused from his guess of “NIGGERS” when he appeared on Wheel of Fortune (the clue was “People who annoy you” and the answer was “NAGGERS”). LOL. Maybe someone in the RP campaign can get RP to kiss Sharpton’s ass.
“Dude, I’m not a racist. If I am a racist, why do I have a black friend? Riddle me that, wise guy. If I am a racist, why do I love chicken and waffles? Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
American politics… totally irrational. A candidate is discovered as being a hateful, bigoted racist and he’s suddenly a pariah. But another candidate is so filled with hate for ALL people that he wants to rule them at the point of a gun and foist his socialist debris on them, and he is cheered and hurrahed.
YAyyyyyyyy! AMERICA! FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOM!

much simpler than that: i visit LRC same as i always have, i see the increasing avalanche of bullshit, and i bitch about the stupidest items/writers there. never has there been so much insane crap to bitch about. no master plan other than correct opposition of collaborators and office-holder wannabes.
anybody who thinks that at least 4 LRC writers haven’t been dreaming of court stenographership in an RP junta… well, that person doesn’t know scumbags on sight.
