Video clip of her easily dissecting the whack-job "truther" movement on FOX's The Big Story, here.
Enjoy. ;)
I knew Paul was a “blame America firster”, but I didn’t realize that he actually associated with some “truthers”. What surprised me is that John Gibson was stunned by Paul’s comments. What kind of journalist is Gibson? Paul has been saying this for years. People who assume liberalitarians naturally belong with the GOP are misguided.
Do you and Cindy Sheehan collect his hair clippings and dirty sweat socks to admire at your monthly fan club meetings?
He is Lyndon LaRouche
His notion that we are in the slightest to blame for 9/11 makes him unpalatable to me.
Fixed it for ya. ;)
Because it stings when they hear him talk and are reminded how far from true conservatism they've actually strayed. Instead of coming back to their roots they lash out.
I liked Ron Paul, and then I saw him on Bill Maher weeks ago coming out against the Civil War! Everyone there just said “huh?” and I thought that beneath the libertarian facade was some nutcase ideas. I was right. Mr Paul would have been right at home with those urging us to leave Nazi Germany alone to do as it pleased.
This is true...
But Michelle is still cuter than a button though...
Flyer liked her...So what he thinks was good in my book!
Right???
Well, since Dr. Paul did NOT say that, you should be okay.
Learn the difference between an explanation, which he gave, and a justification, which he did not.
Do you discount the Unabomber’s manifesto on the same grounds?
Irrational isolationism is a part of conservative roots? That is news to me and please spare me the “foreign entanglements” admonishment from Washington. He certainly didn’t mind when France got entangled with our quest for independence.
Would stupid liars suffice? Blackbird.
Ron Paul=Pat Paulson
Pray for W and Our Troops
CNN may have made a mistake though (at least in the eyes of the establishment media). They allowed Paul to come on and explain his point clearly and succintly which he did. Anyone that's read document one from the government's own reporting has to side with Paul.
Course to do so would be to admit the annointed one may be wrong and I don't think Sean Hannity could actually muster up what it takes to be a man to admit that.
I would agree with that characterization as well.
"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," he said.
Asked by a moderator if he was suggesting the United States invited the attacks, Paul said: "I'm suggesting we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it. And they are delighted that we're over there because Osama bin Laden has said: I am glad you're over on our sand because we can target you so much easier."
Is this correct?
Yes, it is.
That is an explanation for why we got attacked.
It is not a justification for those attacks, and nowhere does he suggest we “deserved” or “invited” it as has been claimed.
It’s one thing to defeat your enemy from the outside. It’s another thing entirely, and often much more effective, to get inside his head, figure out why he does what he does, and use THAT to defeat him.
Oh so stating facts is now a lack of discretion? What would you have him do? Mealy mouth like the 9 hacks on stage about what they would do without providing any specifics? When asked what they would do we heard cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes 9 times. Only Paul stated what he would cut and why he would cut it. And poor Wendell Goler is the perfect example of what has become of the general American public. They don't want to hear specifics, they don't want to hear government isn't supposed to be there to help your boo-boo feel all better. But Dr. Paul laid out the public needs to be educated what the role of government is supposed to be. Hmmmmm...where have I heard that before. Oh that's right. Reagan.
Well, it would have been real nice if when asked by a moderator if he was suggesting the United States invited the attacks, he simply said "no".
