“Folksy ignorance?” Good Grief.
You will vote for Ron Paul and give up your wicked imperialist ways....
Are we letting the business-oriented “let’s make a trade deal” GOP business whore members of the 9/11 commission off the hook? I won’t. Tom Kean is a disgrace. So are others. They find war inconvenient to their everlasting worship of trade dollars.
The American Free Press: Water-Boy for Anti-Semites and Conspiracy Theorists When a fringe conspiracy theorist like Alex Jones or the makers of Loose Change, or a bigot like David Duke cites a newspaper article to support his contention that George W. Bush planned 9/11 to help the Jews steal Iraq’s oil, say, chances are that article was published in the American Free Press. Nationalist, racist, free from the restrictive standards of actual journalism, it is the paper of record for politically minded ignorant lunatics all across the United States.The American Free Press has only been published since 2001, but its roots reach back over fifty years. It was founded by far-right author and activist Willis Carto. Carto was an admirer of pro-Nazi writer Francis Parker Yockey, and was so impressed with Yockey’s book Imperium (isn’t that the perfect neo-fascist book title?) that he wrote one of his own, titled Profiles in Populism, which included glowing biographies of Thomas Jefferson, as well as Catholic priest/radio personality/Third Reich cheerleader Charles Coughlin, and industrialist and candid anti-Semite Henry Ford. In 1955 Carto founded Liberty Lobby, a nationalist and white supremacist political organization. He also started his own publishing house, Noontide Press, which reprinted Yockey’s Imperium as well as Henry Ford’s The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem and the completely discredited and exposed hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
In 1975, Carto’s Liberty Lobby began publishing a weekly newspaper called The Spotlight. By the 1980s, circulation of The Spotlight was around 200,000. The paper went out of business, along with Liberty Lobby, after losing a lawsuit in 2001 to the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, another right-wing extremist organization. The website LibertyLobby.Org maintains an archive of Spotlight articles with headlines like “Alert: [Janet] Reno’s Police-State Power Grab,” and “Jefferson Did Not Father Child With Slave.”[1] Carto and his corps of loyal writers from The Spotlight soon regrouped, and later in 2001 published the first issue of their new weekly newspaper, the American Free Press.
The AFP’s website is so poorly designed, one might be forgiven for mistaking it initially for a very tame porn site. Ads dominate a right-hand column, and the first message greeting readers below the title and navigation bar is a plea for donations — “beyond your annual subscription,” if you please. The similarities to organized religion don’t end there. Like other true believers, the writers and readers of the American Free Press prefer their own distortions, exaggerations, misinterpretations and misconceptions to objective reality. The front page today (9/18/2007) prominently features an article supporting pro-conspiracy theorist presidential candidate Ron Paul, with an article kicking up dust over the supposedly imminent, sovereignty-destroying North American Union just below.[2]
Were Paul a candidate who could be characterized by the mainstream media as representative of Republicans rather than a maverick, there’s no doubt in my mind that the New York Times or Washington Post would write a similar article, perhaps moving the Republican up to the first paragraph.

Bush planned 9/11 to help the Jews steal Iraq’s oil, or AFP columnist and Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul rants about the North American Union, say, chances are that article was published in the American Free Press.

With one of those boxes highlighting his association with other fringe groups, from Alex Jones to the CCC to the League of the South. And the expectation that other Republicans condemn the associations of their fellow Republican.
Way to post to yourself.
Haven’t the RP supports said on this forum that RP does not believe what AJ says but goes on his show anyway for exposure?
He has a radio show here in Austin, Texas, and has a cult following of the most wacked out people you would ever loath to meet.
RP is seeking exposure to wacked out people in Austin, Texas? RP is from Texas, if he isn't exposed to them by now should he really be taking his tour national?
I think the appropriate term might be "useful idiot." Beware the kool-aid.

LOL - I'm not at all surprised.
I've taken little trips over to the Ron Paul forums.
It...it's kind of scary over there.
It gets kinda scary over here what with the RPbot kookiness. But, we've learned to deal with it and have fun at the same time. The problem over there is there is NO fun; just wacky mind-numbed rhetoric.
Here, I'm reminded of Young Frankenstein where Gene Wilder and Terri Garr find the laboratory and Igor with his head in a row of human experimental items. Well, Igor is our Ron Paul; just another character. And not one to take seriously. Just a fun nut to have around.
There, (the Ron Paul forum) I'm reminded of the scene at the railroad station where Igor picks up Wilder's luggage and says "walk this way". Wilder falls into a limp behind Igor. That's them folks. RP says "walk this way" and they all fall into lockstep.
You’ve got a point there. Both of those two have the exact same positions as Ron Paul on the war. Surrender.
For some reason he is on the radio over here quite a bit much to my disgust.
He is a nutcase who seems to have a new baseless 9/11 conspiracy every times.
He, RuPaul and his neo nazi fans all fit in very nicely if you ask me.
All nutcases shunned by most of society.
Jim went way too easy on you IMO!
I would have pulled your account a long time ago.
If you can see that way over there in the UK, then there is no excuse for the idiots on this side of the pond supporting him.
Featured speaker, Cindy Sheehan.
Linking a Republican candidate with a moonbat, for legitimization, that was good enough to make the LA Time. Tough to criticize Dem candidates for something Rep candidates do too. An excerpt. Like the KOS thing, Republican's have nutballs too. Happy to provide a citation of that approach in a Congressional race if you don't think it will be used. Or you can simply search FR, it's posted.
Across the political spectrum my *ss, the far left and one pseudo Republican candidate. And a "Republican" to write about.
=================
BARABOO, Wis. — As Russell Beecher, a lifelong Republican, wandered through the political picnic at the Sauk County Fairgrounds this weekend, he was reeling from the celebration of all things liberal.Inside the fair's pole barn, hawkers sold hundreds of neon-orange "Impeach Bush!" T-shirts and "Say No to War!" buttons. Grandmothers in floppy flower-print hats gabbed about universal healthcare coverage. Aging hippies, gathering petition signatures to pull troops from Iraq, stood side by side with volunteers for presidential candidates registering voters and handing out bumper stickers.
Suddenly, Beecher spotted an island of respite: A booth promoting Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
But the campaign volunteers were quick to promote Paul as a "different" kind of GOP candidate and remind the crowd that "Republicans used to be the party of liberals."
The fair, known as the Fighting Bob Fest, is an annual celebration of old-fashioned liberalism -- the really, really old-fashioned kind.
Genius!
Loved it and stole it....
