So there is no truth.
Maybe his wife really was mugged three times in Houston.
I used to work in a not-so-nice NYC neighborhood and I was mugged twice in a three-month period, despite the fact that I'm a guy and I was 6'2 and 225 lbs and an active 20-something rugby player at the time.
Houston is more dangerous than NYC and his wife is apparently a diminutive middle-aged woman.
It's certainly possible.
Then again, maybe the rumors about Craig, Foley and Haggard are lies.
Your allegations against Rittberg are indeed rumors.
Craig was arrested (his arrest report is on line as is the interrogation tape) and pled guilty.
Mark Foley's IMs are a matter of public record and he admitted publicly through his attorney that he sent them.
Ted Haggard also publicly admitted his misdeeds in statements given to the media.
Your three examples make for terrible analogies.
They can't mask the fact that you can't back up what you said.
Wrong again, wideawake, and I explained this to you just 3 days ago. When asked if he agrees with the truthers, Congressman Paul answered, "Absolutely not". In other words, he answered just the way you said he should, and further, you knew that when you made your post.
So the question becomes, why do you keep posting this lie? You know Paul's supporters are familiar with this history. You know we're going to bust you on it. Are you really that desperate to destroy your own credibility? If so, then congratulations. It's now down to zero.
Sadly for Ron Paul, I am not.
He says that the US government did not deliberately plot 9/11, but remains silent on the other Truther claim that the government knew it was going to happen and deliberately chose to do nothing, saying he had "seen no evidence" that was the case.
He compounded his ambiguity by stating that there was a "danger" that the US would permit another avoidable terrorist incident to happen in order to justify supposed attacks on civil liberties.
Are you really that desperate to destroy your own credibility? If so, then congratulations. It's now down to zero.
That's a laugh. Ron Paul's credibility is now zero - he has hung himself with his own words.
On the one hand you have.
Calvinist_Dark_Lord: the @$$ kicking you took over the supposed "David Duke endoursment" last week
No one has referred to an actual endorsement, but the point has been made that Paul is apparently comfortable with support from all sorts of nutcakes. Leaving aside the truthers, and even places like anti-war, Lew Rockwell, Joe “I’m obsessed with Jews” Sobran, the Constitution Party, and assorted leftists, this is supported by
The racist remarks in an old newsletter written under his name. At the very least an unidentified racist was obviously close enough to be in a position of trust. To my knowledge never identified of fired.
Support for RP by David Duke’s website, Council of Conservative Citizens and Stormfront, including links to “meet-ups” at Stormfront, and support from similar sites.

Radio appearances on Political Cesspool, loosely associated with the CCC. He’s listed above Prussian Blue.
When his campaign was asked about the indicted drug dealer in Canada organizing a support group, they responded that they’ll take support from anywhere.
In the absence of a rejection of their support, there’s more than enough there to establish he’s OK with support from sleazy places. As his campaign indicates.
radioman Uh huh...She was beat up by muggers three times in one year in Houston? If you tell me your wife was beat up by muggers I'll sympathize with you and her. When it gets to the third time I'll suspect her beatings are a little closer to home.
Suddenly the tables turn. With regard to an accusation against a Paul detractor the standards morph. Three assaults, no complaints or witnesses, mean he’s a wife beater. What else could he be?
A clear double standard, but if true it adds wife beaters to potential Paul supporters.
As I pointed out, I who am much larger and stronger than Rittberg's wife, was mugged twice in three months in a city that is much safer than Houston. It really depends on what your routine is.
If someone told me she was mugged three times while shopping in Houston's Galleria district, I would be very suspicious. If someone told me she worked as a teacher in the Third Ward, three times would seem low.
It certainly is. It's also possible that OJ is innocent.
In Simpson's case there actually was physical evidence implicating him which was made available to the public.
In Rittberg's case, I'm still waiting.
Who TF do you think you are? Who died and left you king?
In light of Ron Paul's vote For the authorisation of force against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, it is apparent that he knows who is responsible for 9/11.
He said the US is responsible for it. I heard him say it at one of the debates.
I used to (emphasis on "used to") like and respect Paul prior to his devolving into moonbattery regarding the Iraq War.
No more.
Sorry, you don't get to weasel out of this one. The quote you used was, "I've seen no evidence of that." Since I can't find those words attributed to Dr. Paul anywhere (the first google hit is this page), I assume you're referring to this interview with Dave Weigel of reason magazine. Here's the question he was answering:
The position of the Student Scholars is that 9/11 was executed by the U.S. government. Do you agree or disagree with that?So he was answering a question about whether he believed the U.S. government was directly involved (the same question to which he has also replied "Absolutely not", in case you decide to try to go down that road again) not whether they knew in advance. That was a cute try, but as I said, I'm somewhat familiar with the history here. Plus I know how to use Google.
He compounded his ambiguity by stating that there was a "danger" that the US would permit another avoidable terrorist incident to happen in order to justify supposed attacks on civil liberties.
Stop digging. You're in deep enough already.
No.
You're a liar.
I did not say Ron Paul is a racist.
I did say he tolerates racists, which he does.
Duncan Hunter is supported on Stormfront?
By David Duke?
Willis Carto advertises Duncan Hunter as a columnist?
Duncan Hunter interviews on Cesspool?
Duncan Hunter has racists ghostwriting for him?
I think you're full of cra*, but if you're right, Hunter needs to disassociate himself from these people.
Feel free to address your question to the Hunter people.
So we're clear, yes, I think Ron Paul is comfortable with support from racists, Jewhaters, and assorted anti-war types. After all, they vote.
Those who read my post know that I explicitly ruled out such an assumption.
You addressed none of the issues I raised, you simply fabricated a similar charge against Duncan Hunter. Which you can’t support, because you made it up.
The fact remains, Ron Paul is supported by some unsavory people who he has not disclaimed. You called noting, simply slandered another candidate in a “they all do it” driveby.
I'm one district over from Ron Paul's District and I am betting that Ron Paul has seen his last days in Congress. Texans in those parts don't fancy his kind.
The Political Cesspool is a "conservative radio station" linked as I understand it to the Council of Conservative Citizens, a "conservative" racist group. I presume you condemn the latter, imo a political candidate should avoid that type of venue like the plague.
What other issues have you? Ghost writers? Name them.
That you're not aware of the racist newsletter ghost authored for Paul's newsletter betrays your ignorance, perhaps willful, of your candidate. I can't identify him because Paul hasn't identified him, but he has apologized. Clear evidence
Willis Carto, a prominent neonazi Holocaust denier, advertises Ron Paul as a columnist in his print publication. Are you ok with that? The Citizens Informer published by the CCC prints him as well.
An indicted drug dealer is organizing "meet-ups" for him in Canada. The campaign says that's OK. Is it OK with you? If yes, you can't criticize Hillary for the same thing.
In my view a political candidate needs to disassociate himself from support like this. I fully recognize that others disagree.
