I’ve been waiting for quite a while for Ron Paul to just come out and admit he’s a 9/11 truther. Frankly, I thought it would happen a long time before now. It has taken so long, in fact, that I had started to doubt whether he would ever do it. However, I guess his Iowa polling numbers must have him feeling his oats, because he finally let slip (apologies to those who cannot view the video in IE, we are working to fix the technical issue. Original video may be found here):
And it’s… just think of what happened after 9/11. Immediately, before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq. So the war drums beat…
Perfect. Just great. Remember that the less crazy truthers out there don’t get bogged down in scientific nonsense like “fire can’t melt steel.” They don’t necessarily believe that the Bush administration actually put bombs in the WTC to help it come down (although they’re not precisely ruling it out). What they DO believe is that the U.S. government was warned by the Israelis/Saudis/French/whoever that the attacks were coming and deliberately ignored it because they wanted 9/11 to happen so they could go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ron Paul has now moved from saying that 9/11 was our fault (which was despicable enough) to now saying that it’s something our government actually wanted to happen. Put this up there with Ron Paul’s belief that Southeast Asia got much better after we left Vietnam (a viewpoint doubtless shared by millions of massacred Southeast Asians – but hey, at least we trade with Vietnam now) on the all time list of Ron Paul’s contemptible and publicly-expressed beliefs. Add to this the fact that Ron Paul is a liar and a hypocrite on spending, who has built a career larding up appropriations bills with pork for his home district and then casting meaningless votes against their final passage, and I have to confess that I don’t really see the appeal of Ron Paul to Iowa voters. Well, the Republican ones, at least.
Dude.....I'm not a Paul supporter, but that is one sad statement. Sure, let's purge the Libertarians, the Paul supporters, Romney supporters and everyone else. FR will be a great echo chamber, like harvard and yale, where all you newbies can sing hymms and argue about Sarah Palin's shoe color. Really, if you aren't comfy with debate, try some other pass time......like reading Mein Kampf....
I don’t know what to think - or who to trust, any longer. Somehow, all these conflicting views of reality seem like a cyber-repeat of the tower of Babel.
I do trust you, God, and Your will be done.
And I wonder if God will destroy the internet, which I love, because it is like living in a great library on my desk, but it could so easily become Satan’s playground, you know?
I would agree with you. The Paultards are getting a little out of hand, they’re like mayflies.
OZONE!
The Zot line that is crossed usually is repeated Trutherism, racism, threats, vulgar language, or promoting liberal causes or candidates. Not just for the sake of liking a certain person (unless they are trying to use the site to advertise for overt Liberals of course).
In the case of the Zot! on this thread, this was a long time coming for a truther who was warned many times, even by Jim himself.
Both you are right as rain.
Per SOP they’ll make a lot of noise and may show up in Iowa, but that’ll mostly be the end of it.... thankfully.
Pfffff. I've read a lot worse, I guess the purge is on....
OK, he's not just a "nutty uncle in the attic" to me now. That is so patently offensive I feel like punching his nose through the back of his skull.
Darn, he was always good for a laugh being the stereotypical paultard. Oh well, I won’t miss him.
Saying that Ron Paul’s position on 9-11 Trutherism is despicable is not the same thing as supporting any - let alone all - of our Middle East policies.
And I am saying that Paul’s truther stance is despicable. That is all I am saying.
And the storm is rising...
You are a nut and a liar. Although ABC has since pulled the video, it may still exist at this link.

Thank you, Admin Mod! This is an event worth celebrating. He was a spam monkey deluxe.
"Free Republic is NOT a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our GOD-GIVEN rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of Life."
Speaking only for myself, I don't come here for debate but for the Conservative activism and the strongly pro-God stance. Where else on the web are there anything at all like FR's Prayer Threads? Free Republic is an inspirational website for me, rising above the din of CNN, Fox News, NBC, Google, Yahoo and other liberal organizations.

There is no purge, we've always banned 911 truthers. This guy lasted this long because of his signup date.
