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."

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:)

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.

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.

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.

Well, he might just get Rosie’s vote.

Saw my first Ron Paul 2008 bumper sticker about twenty minutes ago. It was on a beat-up full-size pickup truck with “Don’t Blame Me - I Voted Libertarian” and “9/11 was an Inside Job”.

If only the world was so easy to explain.

Paulites just don’t get it.. it isn’t that he was responding to a comment Cindy made, it’s that he agreed with a comment Cindy made.. and this isn’t a ‘gee the weather is nice comment’ either...

Can anyone characterize Politico for me? Rush said that they are disgruntled ex-employees from Washington Post.

And whom Hugh Hewitt blessed with instant, worshipful credibility.

[Sudetenland]

I don't understand this...where are all the Paulites defending this statement?

Anyone?...Anyone?...Ferris?

The silence is deafening.

This really goes back to the two strains of Libertarians I discussed earlier.. Paul comes from the thread that believes there is a world conspiracy to enslave mankind and he uses this to appeal to the anti-establishment types. The ‘normal’ libertarians are simply rugged individualists who believe that the freer the market, the stronger it is. (John Birch vs. Ayn Rand)

Ronald, we don't need to stage an excuse to attack Iran. Iran, frankly, has been overdue for an American beating for (almost) the last thirty years. I'm in my early forties and I remember the hostage crisis, so you have no excuse whatsoever. You're an idiot.

[jrooney]

So the mental midget once again shows why he is totally unfit for the presidentail office and should be beat in his next election in Texas. Ron Paul you are a disgrace.

[RichInOC]

And by the way, people can just shut their gobs about Ron Paul being the true heir to the Reagan legacy. The only things Paul and Reagan have in common are their first name. And their party registration. Maybe.

[SandRat]

Ron Paul put down the Dixie-Pixie Cup and step away frwom the Cool-Aid!

On the other hand, he could just be looney.
