Ron Paul Warns of Staged Terror Attack [Nutjob Alert!!!]

The Politico ^ | 7/13/07

[TxCopper]

Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, said the country is in "great danger" of the U.S. government staging a terrorist attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation, as the war in Iraq continues to deteriorate.

The Texas congressman offered no specifics nor mentioned President Bush by name, but he clearly insinuated that the administration would not be above staging an incident to revive flagging support.

During the radio interview, Paul said the government was conducting "an orchestrated effort to blame the Iranians for everything that has gone wrong in Iraq."

This feeds right into the crazy liberal thinking that President Bush blew up the Twin Towers.

Ron, you are a flake, sir.

[Sonny M]

Embarrassing himself, libertarians and republicans all at the same time.

[kjo]

This guy is nuts.

[ErnBatavia]

Well, this pretty much certifies him as a whack job.

[what's up]

He’s getting worse.

[nj26]

This guy belongs in a padded room, and certainly NOT on stage with Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, and the other GOP Presidential candidates.

[MizSterious]

Sounds like he’s been hanging out with the left wing moonbats or something. Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan will applaud this.

[Flintlock]

The problem is that the Libertarians are about 70% good common sense and 30% sheer lunacy.
That’s why they will NEVER GET ANYWHERE. Faahgeedabahat them.
‘Bye Ron.

[Neville72]

Ron Paul= a crazier version of Lyndon LaRouche.

He may have just stolen some of the loon vote from the democrats. From some of the polls I've seen, there are unbelievably, quite a few of them. Well, to have any kind of showing, the votes have to come from SOMEWHERE.

Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, said the country is in "great danger" of the U.S. government staging a terrorist attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation, as the war in Iraq continues to deteriorate.

Paul was asked to respond to comments by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan that the U.S. is in danger of a staged terror attack or a provocation of an enemy similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 before the Vietnam War.

So who said it? Ron Paul or Cindy Sheehan? Crazy hit piece or commenting on something someone else said.

Ron Paul's a nut but I can't tell who really said it by the article.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Ron, you are a flake, sir

I respectfully beg to differ. Ron Paul is not a flake. He is a lunatic.

[Mogollon]

Ron Paul is a KOOK!

[trisham]

He’s gone completely off the wall.

[italianquaker]

The paulistabots will be here shortly to defend this blame America first buffoon

[indcons]

Shameful

Can anyone characterize Politico for me? Thursday, or so, we were assured that it is a widely read site by someone who posted an anti-Fred thread from Politico. Now we have this.

I never heard of Politico.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Well now we know who stole McInsane’s strawberries.

Iran is up to their necks in this, and we can guess who’s been supplying them. Nah, I’ll just sit back and have a nice, steaming cup of Perestroika, followed by a shot of tainted Chinese vodka.

“This feeds right into the crazy liberal thinking that President Bush blew up the Twin Towers.”

Much of Ron Paul’s support comes from that “inside job” crowd of nuts and flakes.

[mutley]

Ron Paul's a nut but I can't tell who really said it by the article.

I read it as...Cindy made the comment about a staged attack, and when Paul was asked about those comments, he said there was "great danger" of it. But it's not crystal clear.

[MizSterious]

Just don’t eat the pork buns. ;)

[SE Mom]

Anyone who can take this man as a serious presidential candidate after this statement ..can’t be taken seriously either.

Utter crap.

The nutball party ticket: Paul/Sheehan ‘08

[LdSentinal]

I wonder where Austin Willard Wright is now.

He's probably peddling this BS.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Below is a link to Video of Ron Paul saying on the House Floor that he fears a "New Gulf of Tonkin Incident" to justify war with Iran.

[sheik yerbouty]

I hope they’re using “Reynold’s Extra Strength”!

[FreeReign]

Where are the Paul bots to clean up another mess?

[mnehring]

OK, if this isn’t enough to convince people that Paul is a nutter, then they must be having some ‘special’ brownies with their kool aid.

[ScottfromNJ]

“Ron Paul= a crazier version of Lyndon LaRouche.”

Ron Paul may be getting crazy, but LaRouche is a tough act to follow when it comes to lunacy.

[johnny7]

This resembles Ellison’s reference to the Reichstag fire...

[mnehring]

There are many shades of Libertarian. Paul belongs in the Birch society stage. They are as far from the Ayn Rand style of Libertarian as Rudy is from the Christian Coalition.

[TheSpottedOwl]

How did I miss that thread?

Is anyone going to call Ron Paul on this lunacy?

[trisham]

Wow. Thanks.

[Matchett-PI]

Just another proof that right-wing extremists and left-wing extremists are merely flip sides of the same KOOK coin.

[TheSpottedOwl]

LOL! I just said on another thread that if they don’t want to buy our meat, perhaps we can sell them used cardboard ;-D

[TommyDale]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like Ron Paul?

[Matchett-PI]

Stop makin' fun of us Ron Paul supporters or else!

[SE Mom]

ROFL ping:)

[jazusamo]

Thanks for that link. It pretty well settles whether he said it or not.

I’ve considered Paul on the fringe but this confirms him being a genuine nutcase.

[samtheman]

Ron Paul and Cindy Sheehan. When are they going to appear together on stage? They are, after all, birds of a feather. They should be flock together.

[3AngelaD]

The guy is a nutcake. Now does anyone need any more proof?

[Isara]

Can anyone characterize Politico for me?

Rush said that they are disgruntled ex-employees from Washington Post.

[Ditter]

If any of you Ron Paul supporters out there have even a small doubt about this man, this should push you right off the Paul ‘08 train. The man is nuts just like some of us have been trying to tell you.

[agent_delta]

LOL!!!!

[huldah1776]

Well, he might just get Rosie’s vote.
