Was Ron Paul really on Alex Jones' show? Does Alex Jones promote the 911 "truth" movement?

Why don't you re-read the thread where I explained the reasons why Paul appeared on his show.

(A) Jones is a nationally syndicated radio show host, he's not some bug-eyed guy in his basement transmitting on a shortwave AM radio
(B) Paul goes on his show because he can discuss the issues freely without preening hosts interrupting him
(C) Paul doesn't agree with Jones' wacko conspiracy theories
(D) Some of Paul's issues are attractive to the populist Left and independents

Geez EEE. Take a chill pill and reread what you posted in #121. Then tell us again if you believe this is why Paul does these screwy interviews, etc.

I think you have your cart before Paul’s horse. IMO, he does these things to push his supporters into defending him, and thus promote continued “Paulspamming”.

Paul’s campaign fits in very well with other scams these days....global warming, SCHIP’s is healthcare for poor kids, and Kevin Trudeau’s “miracle medical cures that Dr’s are hiding from the public”. Any kind of hyperbole is good cuz it gets attention and makes money for us scenarios.

And before some Paulbot makes the claim, NO, I don’t believe you when you say, or claim Paul said, that the moon is made of cheese.

Re-read? What thread are you talking about and why should I know about it?

(A) Jones is a nationally syndicated radio show host, he's not some bug-eyed guy in his basement transmitting on a shortwave AM radio

Because Alex Jones is nationally syndicated means that he is not feeding off of paranoid delusions for fame and riches? What's next on Ron Paul's agenda? Faith healers and spoon-benders?

(B) Paul goes on his show because he can discuss the issues freely without preening hosts interrupting him

If he isolates himself from those who might interrupt or disagree in the press, will he also isolate himself from representatives of other, possibly contentious nations while president? How about U.S. citizens who may disagree?

(C) Paul doesn't agree with Jones' wacko conspiracy theories

Even if he has said so, and I don't know if he has, his actions contradict such statements.

Visiting Alex Jones' show strongly implies an interest in courting or gaining the ear of those folks that Alex Jones appeals to: i.e., 911 truthers and conspiracy nuts.

Honestly, who does Alex Jones appeal to and, unless Ron Paul is trying to relieve them of their bizarre conspiracy theories, why is he spending time with them? Why is he providing "credibility" to Jerry Fletcher types?

(D) Some of Paul's issues are attractive to the populist Left and independents

And dictators, terrorists, democrats, truthers, conspiracy nuts, etc.?
