Ron Paul: Birchean Crank

Ace makes a strong case:

Let's see:
1. He supports Dennis Kucinich's desire for a fresh, Truther-friendly investigation into the "cover up" of 9/11.
2. He goes on Truther radio shows.

3. He suggests, Trutherifically, that the US will phony up a fake attack by Iran on our troops (probably killing Americans, as we may have done on 9/11) in order to have a pretext to bomb the mullahs. So, you know, if Iran actually does fire on American warships, his supporters will know it's actually all a contrivance by the US government. (As was Iran's taking of British hostages, presumably. As was the Khobar Towers bombing, presumably.)
But he's not a Truther, oh no, and he's definitely not a conspiracy nutter or John Bircher crank. Nor is he some kind of Dogmatically Dopey Barroom Ideologue.
No, he's a Serious American Candidate with all sorts of Important Principles about Limited Constitutional Government and the Gold Standard and Suchlike Things.
Whatever. If I wanted a fruitcake candidate, I'd've supported Alan Freakin' Keyes in 2000 (or 1996, or 2002, or 2004, or any of the six thousand other times he's run haplessly for public office).

1 What an asshole. He says Iran has never done anything to us. I guess he doesn't give a fuck about their huge support of terrorism or the Kobar Towers bombing.

2 Ron Paul wasn't even on my radar till this week, so its all news to me. Since I am getting new information, it doesn't surprise me that his followers would stack a poll, and make leftist style threats. I wouldn't have voted for him anyway. USA, all the way!

3 This ain't the same Ron Paul that we elected. He's been drinking the wrong flavor of Kool-Aid.

5 Ron Paul may be a freak, but Alan Keyes is a far better man than you will ever be, Good Lt.

6 Max, Ace made the comment about Alan Keyes, not Good Lt. It was part of the block he was quoting from Ace's site.

7 I grew up in Blanco Texas, In Paul's district.
My rancher neighbors and I love him.

8 Being a Texan and a little l libertarian I use to like aspects of Paul but after seeing that loony video...forget it. And his constitutional arguments are rather juvenile and ignorant.

9 These guys are worse than fundies predicting the Apocolypse. I have been seeing predictions of an "Iranian Incident" since how long now?

Funny thing, is this give Iran license to create incidents.
