Ron Paul supporters are raising a ruckus because WorldNetDaily columnist Melanie Morgan wrote not-nice words about Paul's presidential campaign.
Here's the Digg thread where the Ron Paul supporters are flipping out: HERE'S THE DIGG PAGE WITH THE COMMENTS FROM THE RON PAUL CROWD
And here's the excerpt from Melanie's column at WorldNetDaily. You can read her full column - HERE.
RON PAUL: Poor Ron Paul – it's tough to be the candidate of the conspiracy crowd and maintain any shred of credibility. This week, Paul had to denounce his own supporters who mobbed Rudy Giuliani on a Michigan ferry and threatened to throw the former mayor overboard. Paul's grass-roots activists claim that Giuliani stole $200 million worth of gold from the World Trade Center as part of the supposed 9/11 conspiracy that Paul's supporters have cooked up like Jiffy Pop, in their tin-foil covered heads.
Paul was also forced to distance himself from the 9/11 "truthers" – here in California we know them as "nut jobs" – when confronted by the press about the 9/11 conspiracies floated by his supporters.
To date, Ron Paul has danced a fine line by allowing the 9/11 nut jobs to think he was one of them, without committing himself to their lunacy in public appearances and interviews. Now he's come out against their unsubstantiated allegations, and abandoned some of his base to the political wilderness where the mentally unbalanced trade in rumors and unsubstantiated fantasies.
Besides having to put the best face on his stalled presidential campaign (his supporters are reduced to bragging that he's moved from 1 percent to 2 percent in some new polls), Paul now also risks losing his congressional seat. He's picked up a congressional challenge from Eric Dondero, a former top-level staffer and confidante, who is incensed by Paul's irresponsible rhetoric and actions regarding the missions of our troops.
This could be a fun race to watch.
“Paul was also forced to distance himself from the 9/11 “truthers”
Something that really hurt him here, was when the Nazis from StormFront started trying to penetrate FR to promote him.
LOL
I like the “Paulestinians” for keywords - nice Free Republic LOL! :-)
What an awful, unforgivable thing to say. About Jiffy Pop.
"Screw you Melanie - I guess you would support maybe Rudy - which is a known cross dresser! I am tired of people calling supporters of Ron Paul bid for President nut jobs or conspiracy theorists"
Actually, Melanie supports Fred Thompson so far, but is also fond of Duncan Hunter.
"Regarding Ms. Morgan, a pretty face is no replacement for the truth, do your own research and make informed decisions. Time is running out!"
"Who in the hell is this idiot? At this point, the terrorists have more money than the USA, we are negative 9 TRILLION in debt.
Hey, Melanie - you think taking care of your kids and grandkids is having them in perpetual war AND owned by the Chinese? What a complete lunatic idiot. The time has come to fix the USA and forget about spreading democracy at the other end of gun barrel."
"She is got to be leading for Dumb Blond of the year award."
"Jealousy is all it is"
LOL!! You had me going there for a minute. I was thinking "it wasn't THAT horrible, it was tongue-in-cheek." Then I realized you were defending the honor and integrity of Jiffy Pop!!
ROTFLMAO!
Kooks are funny.
Something, or almost everything that hurt him everywhere were the things that came from his own mouth during public appearances. I've heard some of his supporters deny that he said the crazy things he did say in public. No one can defend his comments so they have to deny he said them.
They just can't ever quite keep those masks from slipping every so often, can they...? ;)
Yeo - those racist, anti semite nazis scumbags love him - one of many reasons we shouldn’t.
Common folks... you are being missed here.
Oooooh....{rubbing hands together}, the moment I love best. When the lights are going down just before the start of the show.
Please pass the popcorn!!!
exactly!
A bump to anyone challenging Ron Paul, a man I once respected, but now look at as a charlatan.
The Constitution was Divinely Inspired by St. Ron Paul.
Hey, new tagline!
