The only detail Roberts omitted was whether Bush was doing the bidding of the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the British royal family, or the Vatican.

It's even worse because Bush is doing the bidding of the Neo-Cons (and we all know they're mostly Jooooooooos).

--Yeah, and Buckley and Jeffrey Hart and Buchanan and Pournelle and on and on. You're right. Someone is off the rails.

Well..if the shoe fits.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, and Buckley and Jeffrey Hart and Buchanan and Pournelle and on and on.

How did Buckley go off the rails?

[1rudeboy]

I think Buckley came out against the DPW deal. Personally, I'd like to see his reasoning before I judge.

Paul Craig Roberts does right good columns - once in a while. About economics.

I remember when Jude Wanniski went insane and started hinting that "sinister forces" in the White House were keeping his letters (about some vision the esteemed Louis Farrakhan had) away from the president.

That was hard to watch too.

[Mase]

Agreed that his economics USED TO BE excellent.

The Paleo's were political isolationists but never economic isolationists. Even Lew Rockwell realizes this. We can thank Buchanan, Roberts and the rest of the loonies at economicalert.org for the flawed idea that a fortress America can somehow be economically successful.

[driftless]

I remember reading Robert's articles about six years ago and thinking that this guy might be a wack-job. It is certainly correct to criticize certain elements of the Bush admin's policies. But this guy went off the deep end. A certiable nut.

Is PCR still writing for the Washington Times?

[GSWarrior]

I remember Raimondo's thread here within hours of the 9-11 attacks claiming Israel was behind it.

IIRC, Raimondo claimed that Israel had advance knowledge...not that they were behind it.

[Billthedrill]

Yep. As Tom Sowell wrote today, "It's no use trying to talk sense with people who prefer to believe nonsense."

[babble-on]

I could be mistaken as well, I think the thread was pulled and Raimondo was banned, but I believe he was saying that we should look at who benefits from the attacks and that would show us who committed them, and he claimed the answer to both was Israel. This was right after they occurred, sort of an amazing Rohrschach test for an anti-Semite: here's a picture of two burning skyscrapers, what do you see? Answer: Jews.

I beleive I saw somewhere where Paul Craig Robrts takes money from Muslims
