Special Report

Get Clean for Ron

By on 1.3.12 @ 6:08AM

The Paul kids grow up — and seek victory.

The young Paulistas gathered to receive their marching orders. Get a haircut. Wear a tie. Be polite. Don’t gratuitously annoy mainline Republicans. Leave the discussion of political philosophy to the candidate. Your job, they were instructed, is to win votes for Ron Paul.

That was the scene as described to me in New York City this summer. Since then, it has become standard operating procedure for the activists once dismissed as the “Ron Paul kids” during their long march through the GOP.

“No tats,” one young Paul volunteer told the New York Times he was advised. No “fraternizing in the dorms, nothing like that.” No scruffy beards, boozing or even impolitic tweets either. Don’t do anything that will hurt the cause. Instead ask yourself, “What would Ron Paul do?”

In 1968, door-knocking hippies cut their hair and dressed in the wardrobe of the establishment in order to support Eugene McCarthy’s antiwar candidacy for the Democratic nomination. Their slogan was “Get clean for Gene.”

McCarthy didn’t make it to the White House, but he did unseat a sitting president with a stronger-than-expected showing in New Hampshire. Paul has already moved into the top tier in Iowa and New Hampshire. Few will be surprised if he eclipses his 2008 tally of more than 1 million votes.

Getting clean for Ron would seem a taller order, since the target audience includes evangelicals and other cultural conservatives. But Drew Ivers, the man chairing Paul’s Iowa campaign, previously guided Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan to second-place finishes in the caucuses. Having taken the silver twice, as Mitt Romney might put it, Ivers is looking for his first gold. This time Paul is making much more of his pro-life views and common ground with pro-family voters.

But the Ron Paul activists aren’t just visiting the barbershop. They are mastering the arcane details of caucuses and conventions across the country in a quest to maximize their candidate’s delegate totals. BuzzFeed reports  that the Paul campaign has an organization in place “in ten caucus states besides Iowa: Colorado, Washington, Maine, Idaho, Minnesota, Nevada, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and North Dakota,” plus a base in Alaska and Hawaii.

It may not add up to a “secret plan to actually win,” as the news website put it. But it could allow Paul to go into the convention with enough delegates to be noticed rather than relegated to a counter-convention across the street. That will create its own problems for the GOP, but also opportunities for a young movement.

“We learned a lot of lessons from last time around,” says Jeff Frazee of Young Americans for Liberty, a group not affiliated with the Paul campaign but made up of the candidate’s supporters. “We know how to channel the enthusiasm into productive purposes.”

Those “productive purposes” include making inroads into the mainstream of the Republican Party, where Paul’s strict constitutionalism and stringent fiscal conservative is more in vogue than four years ago. Even the antiwar stance has a wider reach than in 2008. This is especially true among Republicans between the ages of 18 to 34, where Gallup finds Paul leading the field.

In some cases, Paul supporters are becoming the mainstream Republican Party. They have achieved critical mass in GOP central committees in states as diverse as Iowa, Nevada, and Maine. A bona fide Ron Paul Republican, Rep. Justin Amash, holds a House seat in Michigan. Paul’s son Rand is the junior senator from Kentucky, after beating both an establishment Republican and the Democratic nominee — who ran very similar anti-Paul campaigns — by landslide margins.

Not every Paul backer has gotten the memo to behave according to Emily Post-approved etiquette. The online contingent can be as obnoxious as ever, alienating even people who are sympathetic. As a poster lamented on one of the largest pro-Paul forums, “Some of our supporters have the marketing skills of Joseph Stalin.”

Yet for many of these youthful activists, the Ron Paul campaign will end up being a formative experience like the Goldwater campaign — and yes, the McCarthy and McGovern campaigns — were for their elders. Win, lose or draw in Iowa, they will be a force in politics for years to come.

Is there any war in which we have fought that Ron Paul's supporters believe we should have fought in?

LOSER.

Occam's Tool| 1.3.12 @ 10:27PM

48% in and---Santorum leads, followed by Romney, and in 3rd---Paul.

Blowtorch melts cheesehead, Jack.

Occam's Tool| 1.3.12 @ 11:21PM

89% in and NBC predicts---Ron Paul in 3rd Place. Romney has a razor's edge in 1st and Sajntorum in 2nd by less than 200.

But Paul definitely was cheese-grated, given his money, organization, obnoxious, loudmouthed supporters, his treasonous positions on Wiki-Leaks....3rd place. And with a President Romney cutting taxes and leading a triumphant American recovery, I forsee Rand getting Old and Gray before he has a chance, with his father in his grave.....

Hi, Jack. Enjoy the 6000 Jews in Iowa turning the tide?

chuck| 1.3.12 @ 8:45AM

We had the "change" last election. Obama was supported overwhelming by the "kids" last time.

How's that working out? Maybe it's time to listen to the grownups.

Hey Chuck| 1.4.12 @ 5:54AM

So what are you saying chuck? None of the "adults" voted for Obama? LOL please

Moe Blotz| 1.3.12 @ 8:51AM

Barry Sotero claimed that he was the change everyone was looking for in 2008. Mistuh Jimmuh claimed that he and Walter Mondull were the change everyone was looking for in 1976. We do not need change, but a return to first principles.

at the end of the day...among the many problems I have with Paul and his supporters....at the top of the list is how remarkably and consistently shallow they are.

endless platitudes...not much deep thinking. one reason...it is reasonable to assume...they are constantly on the attack.

good luck Paulistas! you are your own worst enemies ... :-) ...

Hey, everybody, Clint learned a new word! Good for you, whack job sociopath boy.

I'll have you know I'm a FINO (that's Fop In Name Only, to use your favorite construction).

That dude who set the fires in California? Yup. A Paul supporter, just exercising his right to free expresson.

Too bad he didn't set those fires in Israel, eh? He is German, after all.

I'll bet your fevered, underpowered brain is telling you that we're getting close to the inauguration of the Fourth Reich, Clint. Aren't you excited?

I know how hard you've worked on your Nazi salute. And I hope you appreciate your mom for washing and pressing your uniform every day, even though, time and time again, you just wind up soiling it.

But I know you take great pride in polishing your jack boots each morning. I'll bet they're ready for some good old-fashioned face stomping, am I right?

Occam's Tool| 1.3.12 @ 4:11PM

Aware---first we need to get rid of Paul. He would be destroyed in the General election. Then, after that, cut domestic spending anyway you can get away with, my dear man.

But Clint is a highly annoying jihadi swive.

Jeff| 1.3.12 @ 4:07PM

Neo-conservatism has degraded discourse, as their entire philosophy is based on lies and verbal manipulation. Those people are expert in such tactics, from their days as Trotsyites!

You do know that Clint, Jack, and Margie are the same person. They are the names used by a top level DNC agent assigned to this site to make conservtives, libertarians, and Republicans look stupid.

Con Chef (NB) | 1.3.12 @ 1:12PM

Brother, that wouldn't surprise me IN THE LEAST!

Grzmlyk| 1.3.12 @ 2:00PM

Really? I can believe a top-level DNC agent would attempt to undermine conservatives. I'm just trying to figure out how one with an IQ of 76 could hope to do that.

Then again, a 76 IQ is most likely the best the DNC can do.

Maybe the DNC should make a new talking point out of that: "When it comes to IQs, 76 is the new 150!

At the very least, it would explain why Democrats think the vacuous, ignorant, petulant, puerile, callow, simpleminded Barack Hussein Obama is brilliant.

Come to think of it, it would cover 95% of Ron Paul's rabid supporters, too.

mike| 1.3.12 @ 4:24PM

Now Grzmlyk, assume you are grading an SAT essay based on the comments written by the "trio" here on this site, wouldn't you conclude the IQ was at least 81?
No real conservative or Republican or libertarian is stupid enough to write what the "trio" writes so it must be a DNC operative.

You people are hysterical. There's an old saying something to the effect that the smaller the stakes being fought over by a desperate fewer the more savage the battle. That seems to capture nicely what goes on in here.

I hope this primary season goes all the way to a brokered convention. Just about all of you hate Romney. Most of you hate Paul. Most of you have not much good to say about Gingrich. Santorum hardly makes the discussion. Bachmann and what's his name (uh, I forget...oops) are basically afterthoughts at this point.

Let's review, shall we? Israel = JEW. Jew = JEW. Neocon = JEW And, as far as the whole "Smear Bund" thing, that Clint (who thinks that HE is the Tea Party) is throwing around, out there? I guess he believes that He, and JackassinWI, and this New Idiot - Jay (which is suspiciously, very close to the word - Jew) are a 21st Century version of the American Nazi Bund Party. Which is, actually, a good look for them.

It fits.

Smear Bund Pennell Is In The Building.

" Fmr. Senior Aide, US Cong. Ron Paul, 1997 – 2003
Campaign Coordinator, Ron Paul for Congress, 1995/96
National Organizer, Draft Ron Paul for President, 1991/92
Travel Aide/Personal Asst. Ron Paul, Libertarian for President
1987/88

I have been asked by various media the last few days for my comments, view of the current situation regarding my former boss Ron Paul, as he runs for the presidency on the Republican ticket.

I’ve noticed in some media that my words have been twisted and used for an agenda from both sides. And I wish to set the record straight with media that I trust and know will get the story right: conservative/libertarian-conservative bloggers.

Is Ron Paul a “racist.” In short, No. I worked for the man for 12 years, pretty consistently. I never heard a racist word expressed towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once. And understand, I was his close personal assistant. It’s safe to say that I was with him on the campaign trail more than any other individual, whether it be traveling to Fairbanks, Alaska or Boston, Massachusetts in the presidential race, or across the congressional district to San Antonio or Corpus Christi, Texas.

He has frequently hired blacks for his office staff, starting as early as 1988 for the Libertarian campaign. He has also hired many Hispanics, including his current District staffer Dianna Gilbert-Kile.
Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s side), I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in hundreds of speeches I listened too over the years, or in my personal presence that could be called, “Anti-Semite.” No slurs. No derogatory remarks. "

His view is that Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the America taxpayer.

Thanks, Clinty, for vouching for Mr Dondero's credibility.

Resist We Much! | 1.3.12 @ 10:36AM

Sorry about that. Here was the correct second part:

"Ron Paul is most assuredly an isolationist. He denies this charge vociferously. But I can tell you straight out, I had countless arguments/discussions with him over his personal views. For example, he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that “saving the Jews,” was absolutely none of our business. When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand, or that WWII was just “blowback,” for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy errors, and such.

I would challenge him, like for example, what about the instances of German U-boats attacking U.S. ships, or even landing on the coast of North Carolina or Long Island, NY. He’d finally concede that that and only that was reason enough to counter-attack against the Nazis, not any humanitarian causes like preventing the Holocaust.

There is much more information I could give you on the sheer lunacy of his foreign policy views. Let me just concentrate on one in specific. And I will state this with absolute certainty:

Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11."

Again, Clinty, thanks for vouching for Mr Dondero's credibility.

" Ron Paul Maintains Lead in Latest PPP Iowa Poll
Survey shows broad support, strong organization

LAKE JACKSON, Texas, Jan 02, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2012 GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul is leading Iowa according to a new PPP poll released yesterday evening, with 20 percent of the vote. The survey has Paul also leading among Independents and Democrats with 30 percent of the vote, more than twice that of the nearest challenger.

"As evidenced by the standing-room only crowds, Ron Paul has broad support and a top notch ground organization," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. "Despite a coordinated assault by the establishment, Congressman Paul is in the lead and headed toward a top finish in the Hawkeye state."

This comes on the heels of a CNN/Time poll which showed Ron Paul strong against President Obama. Highlights from the poll include Paul besting Obama 47 to 46 percent among those 65 years and older, said to be the most reliable voters. Paul also beats Obama among persons who reside in rural areas 52 to 44 percent and with Independents 48 to 47 percent. "

And the haters never mention his positives. I so want an honest discussion of Paul's (and Gary Johnson's) policies versus the other Republican candidates.

If we pick a nominee on name-calling and smears, we really are no better than the Democrats.

I have to admit, the Spectator has been far better about that than most Republican outlets.

Con Chef (NB) | 1.3.12 @ 9:50AM

What's there not to be dubious when it comes to Paul? The Stormfront support, which has not been disavowed, the newsletters which, although he didn't write, we're expected to believe the piss poor excuse that he didn't know what was in them? Even though they went out under his name?

Its the glossing over of such things that remind me of how the Obamunists chose to do with Billy Ayers, Bernie Dohrn, "Rev." Wrong, Rashid Khalidi & "Father" Phleger.

"Nevermind those people. They're inconsequential." Gee, THAT'S worked out SO well with Obama SO far, hasn't it?

Negatives: An insane, blame America for everyone who hates us foreign policy; his supporters, like Robo-Clint, and the idiot in Wi.

There, done!

Occam's Tool| 1.3.12 @ 12:28PM

Positives: he is in favor of A SMALLER GOVERNMENT. Look at my posts on Paul and you will see much that I favor about him from a Domestic perspective, except his idiotic stance on drugs.

It is as a Foreign Policy candidate that he fails the Sanity test. Unfortunately, the major role of the President is as C-in-C.

Gary Johnson, in addition to his many positives on taxation, single-handedly helped destroy Mental Health treatment in New Mexico. He made it a pariah state for Psychiatrists.

Now that I've reconsidered the finer character points of the Ron Paul for President supporters, the ending rainbow is beginning to display some definite benefits I'd not previously considered. While the final tabulations are still being run, it looks like the manufactures of Xanax will be realizing a 90% spike in product sales, Pampers infant bibs will have found a new customer base, while those who are still committed to the cause, but previously unable to participate due to finances, should soon start seeing a 50% to 60% mark down in the retail price of tin foil hats.

So, I ask you: Is there a clear benefit for those who stayed the course and "walked the walk" while supporting Ron Paul? Well, as Mrs. Palin always said: "You betcha'."

If Ron Paul and his followers are the mainstream of the Republican Party, then it's time to go Independent. A lot of us don't want to go back to the isolationism of the old Republican party prior to WW2. Just because Bush's version of Progressivism-lite got us too involved in foreign wars to make the world safe for Progressivism doesn't require us to go the opposite extreme of sticking our heads in the sand and hoping the bad guys will go away.

Ronald Reagan is the true conservative in this race, and the current candidates can be judged on how close they come to this ideal.

Ron Paul, like Obama and Howard Dean before him, is highly dependent upon young people for one main reason -- the young are more easily taken in by simplistic faux solutions to complex problems.

Paul's supporters have fallen for the "cut a trillion dollars" mantra without thinking where any such sum of money will come from. Not surprising, because Paul hasn't made clear how he has any chance of getting his radical plans through a Congress that has never had much use for him. Only one bill passed during Paul's eon in Congress. It's a sad record of legislative ineffectiveness.

“Getting Clean for Ron Paul” -- Telling the neo-hippie Ron Paul peaceniks to shave, quit drinking and doping, and to generally behave themselves, speaks volumes to their Liberal-tarin anarchist tendencies.
It doesn’t matter that Ronbo Paul may claim to be “pro-life” personally, because policy wise he is Pro-Choice in allowing states to decide their own abortion/genocide laws.
Ronbo’s “Paul's strict constitutionalism” is actually a call for a return to the uber-states-rights chaos of the Articles of Confederation that predated our Constitution.

Don't get your hopes up, Mr Antle. Ron Paul will not be President. He won't even win the nominee. Deal with it.

Au Contraire| 1.3.12 @ 1:48PM

I don't think that's what he's saying. He recognizes Paul, like Goldwater, as a harbinger. The neocon moment in history is over. Either there will be a cataclysm at the convention if Paul wins several state primaries, or else the general electorate will tell the War Party to just fade away.

cicero| 1.3.12 @ 1:53PM

Amazing! Such language on what should be a more reasoned board. Come on guys and girls, lets cool it a bit. Now to throw some gasoline on the campfire . . .
How old is Mr, Paul? There is a reason why he went home the weekend before the caucuses - he was exhausted. He is just too old for the job of the presidency. We can argue his political positions all we want, but the truth of the matter is that he will not, and cannot, get the nomination. He will also not run as a third party candidate - it will distroy his son's career.
As far as the Paul army of youth is concerned, sure they are learning to campaign. And we will see the same faces in the future, albeit for different candidates. In case no one has noticesd, American political campaigns are big business. Axelrod and company hit the jackpot by running an electable incompetent to the highest office in the world. They all made fortunes on that one. None of them are aboard ship after only 2 years. They are on to the next money making venture.
Running for the presidency can be very lucrative. Once you qualify for a spot on the ballot, you qualify for matching funds. For every dollar you raise, the taxpayers give you another one. Not bad. Looks like 100% gross profit to me. Along with the speaking fees that come off if you hit some nerves, and voila! Look at the Clintons. For folks that never made more that $40,000.00, per year, and never owned even a modest home, the are worth upwards of $100 million within a few years of leaving government (in what should have been shame).
Paul is a pro at campaigning. He makes substantial sums of money at it. All he has to do is keep up the drum beat on the domestic side (which is very appealing to conservatives), while sounding like a radical isolationist on the foreign policy side. He stays in the game, but never runs the risk of getting elected. Not bad. In the meantime, he can pay his staff, and attract the teenie bopper volunteers neede to keep the whole show on the road.

76. He was born while FDR was serving his FIRST of four terms.

Hobbes| 1.3.12 @ 3:20PM

Ron Paul is the only traditional conservative in the bunch. Anti-war. Anti-government. Anti-social engineering. Pro-religion. Go back to the founders: Kirk, Nisbet, Weaver, if you can read. You anti-Paul people are all Neo-Cons who want to spread democracy to the desert and bankrupt America. Not on our watch. The Ron Paul Revolution continues!

Resist We Much! | 1.3.12 @ 3:32PM

I am anti-Paul Pot because his 10% insanity is a bridge too far.

How many wars in the last 98 years do you think that I believe the US played a proper role in, Hobbes?

You are about to get your world rocked and your Paulistinian world view shattered.

Au Contraire| 1.3.12 @ 3:38PM

I would like to know how many U.S.-initiated wars a neocon would be against. I bet your list is shorter than ours...

Ron Paul is like Goldwater--a harbinger. He is unlikely to win, but this will be the end of the neocon moment. Either there will be a dramatic clash at the convention if Paul holds delegates, or else the general electorate will give the warmongers a one-way ticket back to wherever it is they came from.

Resist We Much! | 1.3.12 @ 3:48PM

Are you calling me a "neo-con"?

Resist We Much! | 1.3.12 @ 3:55PM

My answer is: 1, as in the number of wars -- ground war anyway -- in the last 98 years in which I believed the US played a proper role. In Afghanistan, I would have done something different than what Bush did, but certainly not what any Paulistinian would support.

For the most part, I come from the school of "When people want to kill each other, let them."

We can play counterfactuals with the Versailles Treaty and its role in the hyperinflation that took place in the Weimar Republican, which in turn gave rise to Hitler, etc., but the bottomline is:

Japan attacked the US Navy and Germany declared war on the US first. So, unless you want the name "Quisling," you fight that one.

I asked you a question. That's the problem with you Paultards. You fling perjoratives at people because you see the world in black and white. You are the very worst spokespeople for Paul Pot. You, Clint, and the rest of the Paulistinians here and elsewhere with your "neo-con," "Israel Firster," etc., crap are an embarrassment and, why as a libertarian, I can't wait for Paul Pot to lose and retire. He harms our movement far more than he helps.

And, if any of you think that the issue of the newsletters and his books would not become one of the MAJOR issues in the general if he were somehow to win the nomination, all of you should be committed to a mental institution. $1 billion of ads featuring all of his racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, conspiracy theory-laden newsletters, videos, speeches and books would blacken libertarianism for decades.

Next up for Ron, a CHARLIE SHEEN ENDORSEMENT:

'.....Kelly Clarkson’s Album Sales Soar After Endorsing Ron Paul Tuesday, January 3, 2012 02:53 PMBy: James Hirsen
After former "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson expressed support on Twitter for Ron Paul and was castigated via the social media for having done so, her album sales spiked upward.
The singer tweeted, “I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't.”
Clarkson added, "I am a Republican but I actually voted Democrat last election. Ron Paul is about letting people decide, not the government. I am for this."Conventional wisdom suggests that when a celebrity admits to being a member of the GOP and endorses one of the party’s current presidential nominee hopefuls, it could be bad for his or her career.However, in this case the singer deftly fielded the criticism that came her way for her endorsement tweet and responded, “I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women's rights, men's rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all of the Republican nominees, he's my favorite.”After all is said and done it looks as though Clarkson’s political endorsement may end up being a very savvy business decision. Her album sales benefited her in a big way, most likely due to the unusually dedicated supporters of the Paul campaign.According to the Rolling Stone, the day after Clarkson's endorsement, her album sales surged an astounding 442 percent.
Meanwhile Paul used the Clarkson endorsement at a campaign stop at a high school in west Des Moines. "Does anybody here know the name Kelly Clarkson?” the Republican presidential candidate asked the audience.If they didn’t before, they certainly do now......'

Margie| 1.3.12 @ 5:57PM

Ah yes, the public schools have produced some of the most "well informed", "pro-American" voters for Ron Paul.

Small wonder.

This is like the Woodstock generation re-lived. I've said it here for about 2 years now~ the Paul-bots are like the old hippies of the 1960's dregged up again.

Same anti-war, anti-American (blame America-first!), pro-dope smoking, pro-legalize everything under the Sun, pro-"Gay", immoral brain-dead dummies, (were they anti-Israel too?) as they were back then.

You'll see how his positions "evolved" as 2008 neared. In a 2008 debate, he said:

"I'VE ABANDONED THOSE VIEWPOINTS, I don't believe that, and that's all.. that's the only thing that is important, and so I don't endorse anything they say...."

"I'VE ABANDONED THOSE VIEWPOINTS" = "I was a Truther....before I started running for POTUS."

You people are hysterical. There's an old saying something to the effect that the smaller the stakes being fought over by a desperate fewer the more savage the battle. That seems to capture nicely what goes on in here.

I hope this primary season goes all the way to a brokered convention. Just about all of you hate Romney. Most of you hate Paul. Most of you have not much good to say about Gingrich. Santorum hardly makes the discussion. Bachmann and what's his name (uh, I forget...oops) are basically afterthoughts at this point.

He's placed himself in the "progressive" wing of the GOP, along with the Follettes (who oddly enough, both left the GOP to form "Progressive" parties).

Good luck running with Gary Johnson, though.

DevilDog| 1.4.12 @ 11:23AM

As homosexual Army soldier Bradley Manning’s treason trial continues at Fort Meade, Maryland, the support he has received from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been curiously ignored by the major media, now touting Paul as someone who could win the January 3 Iowa Republican Caucuses. Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero” and “patriot” for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.

Manning, who served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, is charged with one of the most spectacular and damaging leaks of classified information in this country’s history. The death penalty has been strangely ruled out in his case, but he could still face life in prison.

Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the “irresponsible posting of stolen classified documents by WikiLeaks puts lives at risk and gives adversaries valuable information.”

The Ron Paul 2012 website shows a young Ron Paul in a military uniform and as someone who would pursue a “pro-America foreign policy.” It says, “As an Air Force veteran, Ron Paul believes national defense is the single most important responsibility the Constitution entrusts to the federal government.”

It says nothing about the Congressman’s support for accused Army traitor Bradley Manning.

However, speaking at a campaign rally, Paul said that while Manning may have “technically” broken the law against releasing classified information to WikiLeaks, he did so for the purpose of exposing the “horrible things” being carried out by the U.S. Government.
Referring to Manning’s detention before trial, Paul said, “Should he be locked up and imprisoned?” Manning should be seen as a “political hero” and “true patriot who reveals what’s going on,” Paul said.

The Bradley Manning Support Network published an article saying that Paul believes that Manning is a “whistleblower” and his actions “are essential to the country.”

There is no evidence that Manning, who flaunted his homosexuality in the Army, in violation of the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy, was a member of a communist or leftist group. But his supporters come predominantly from the far-left. His backers include the Movement for a Democratic Society, a group of former Weather Underground members and radicals that includes Obama associate and terrorist Bill Ayers.

The Advisory Board of the Bradley Manning Support Network includes Robert Meeropol, whose parents, communists Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, were convicted of violating the Espionage Act and executed for giving the secret of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. Meeropol says “it is an honor to join a Board that includes Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, as well as Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame, and filmmaker Michael Moore, among others, but also because I believe it is imperative for as many people as possible to raise their voices in support of Manning.”

On October 28, speaking in Iowa, Paul praised WikiLeaks for providing secret information about the conduct of the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Moscow-funded Russia Today (RT) propaganda channel features a Paul speech in which the Congressman offered “his support to whistleblowers, applauding WikiLeaks in particular for exposing political fallacies.”

In another broadcast, Paul attacked “state secrecy” and praised WikiLeaks for revealing “spying and meddling” by the U.S. Government.

DevilDog| 1.4.12 @ 11:29AM

ron paul CLAIMED he was DRAFTED into the Air Force.

yet it was the Army and Navy(marines) who did the drafting and NOT the Air Force.

paul was 27 years of age. just MONTHS away from becoming 28. dratf age was 18-27.

Paul was married. and yet Kenndey had ordered that all married men be put at the bottom of the draft list. paul was also a doctor, which order of Kennedy put him at the bottom of the list again.

so that was TWO reasons why paul would have been at the BOTTOM of the draft lists.

so how could paul receive a draft notice when he was at the bottom and only months away from becoming 28?

Archie Mudd| 1.4.12 @ 2:13PM

You are correct that the Air Force did not issue draft notices. However, the draft letter that Paul received provided him the option to join the Army as a Buck private, or the branch of his choice as a physician. Which would you choose? To suggest that he never received a notice at all and merely fabricated the draft story to further his political ambitions is a reach to say the least. As for how he beat the odds you pointed out and was drafted at all, it's noteworthy but hardly an indictment. You should go back to calling him a racist. Both arguments are incredible but at least the latter has legs.

Skip| 1.4.12 @ 4:52PM
