Most here on FR wont even listen to anything positive about RP. They hate him because they’ve drank the neocon cool-aid and don’t even realize it.

But there are some here who realize it, and in fact push the neocon Kool-aid.

How the neocons shills come suddenly crawling out of the woodwork making frenzied attempts to marginalize Ron Paul at the very mention of his name!

Their overreaction reminds me of something Winston Churchill once said:

"They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse – a little tiny mouse! – of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic."

Come to think of it, Winston Churchill was also marginalized between WWI and WWII, and his constant warnings about the growing danger of Germany only invited ridicule from his contemporaries.

But as England and the world soon found out--Churchill was right.

And Ron Paul is right.

Typical RP-bot post. No substance, all character assassination.

This is the age of the death of reason.

Churchill was right about the greatest threat to the world at that time -- Nazi Germany.

Paul is dead wrong (or at best hopelessly naive) about the greatest threat to the world in our time -- radical Islam.

(And incidentally, Churchill was right about Islam as well)

In the foreign policy sphere, Winston was always right and Paul is (almost) always wrong.

Cut and run would have backed the appeasement policies of Nevile Chamberlain, who did not want to see the dangers of Germany, not the policies of Winston Churchill who beat back Germany.
Cut and run like Chamberlain would rather put their heads in the sand than see the enemy.

They won't even debate. They go directly to ad hominem dismissal and attack.
