Paulistinians are a collection of a lot of things, but one thing is for sure, many Paulistinians are liberal trolls, as illustrated by Barry Manilow.

[Sig Sauer P220]

I think he’s a closet something else.

[what's up]

How can he be a libertarian if he supports commies like Hitlery, Obama and Edwards?

No way.

[Alouette]

Where is his donation to Dennis Kucinich?

[Larry Lucido]

Must be one of those “military” donations (maybe he once wore a WAC uniform).

[OKIEDOC]

YES

Oh man. I can’t wait to hear “Mandy” rewritten with Ron Paul lyrics.

[SnakeDoctor]

That a person supports Ron Paul for the Republican nomination does not necessarily mean they are libertarian ... and it does not mean they would support him in the election. There are a couple of reasons an avowed liberal might support Paul. First, liberals, socialists and communists would LOVE for Paul to get nominated by the Republicans - it would make the liberal vision of American foreign policy a guaranteed victor in the 2008 election.

And, second, Paul is clearly among the weakest of the Republican candidates available, and a divisive figure amongst conservatives. Thompson or Giuliani would be formidible ... Paul would not. His nomination would divide the conservative base, send many (or most) to a third party, place a weak and pathetic candidate at the head of the opposition party, and virtually guarantee a Democrat victory in 2008.

Manilow’s not a closet libertarian ... otherwise he wouldn’t have boycotted “The View” based solely on the presence of Elizabeth Hasselbeck ... a person more aligned with the libertarian viewpoint than her cohorts.

Why not they all have the same foreign policy.

A closet librarian? Naw, he can’t even read!

I remember when the limit an indivual could contribute to ALL federal campaigns over a two-year period was $10,000. Under those limits, Barry Manilow would be in violaton. Today, with the limits having been re-set basically to reflect the cumulative effect of inflation since the 1970s, and annual adjustments, the limit is $42,700. So, Barry Manilow still has a ways to go in writing checks.

[HamiltonJay]

Looks like he’s a democrat to me....

[paudio]

I think he's just anti-war. Manilow gave money to Paul simply because Paul's anti-war stance, not necessarily his libertarian view.

BTW, Manilow canceled his "...due to philosophical differences with Elisabeth Hasselbeck." She's the token conservative in the program and was 'mean' to Ms. Mean Rossie O'Donnel, Manilow's close friend.

[Redcloak]

Why would a “closet Libertarian” give money to Hillary(!) Clinton or Barak bin Ubama? I think “confused poofter” is a more appropriate label.

Did you see the masterful keywords on this thread?

Whoever came up with "stenchhippiesforpaul" should be given the key to the city. I liked it so much, I added it to this thread. :)
