Much has been made of the New Hampshire man, William Kostric, who showed up outside President Obamas health care speech in Portsmouth Tuesday with a loaded gun strapped to his leg and a sign calling for the blood of tyrants.
Last night, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) weighed in on the episode, telling MSNBCs Ed Schultz that Kostric was just, you know, practicing a right that he had.
What this demonstrates is that its its the old conservative argument. Its not the gun thats the danger. Its the person thats dangerous. Hes a peaceful person. He obeyed the law. He was not a man of violence. And it went quite well. So I think its a remarkable demonstration, when you compare to what 19 individuals could do with razor blades, versus one man with an armed pistol that happens to be a law-abiding citizen.
Paul added that Kostric was remarkable in proving his point that he was a peaceful man, and caused no trouble.

Great slide show of ObamaCare protesters in Chicago
Right in Obama's back yard!!
I'm more proud of the folks in the windy city, than I ever thought possible!
By the way, I didn't see any ABC-CBS-NBC-CNN-MSNBC coverage of this - did you?
Wonder why..?????
Those who have visited Chicago will recognize the downtown area.

Way to go Chicago!

LOL! The very first time I ever clicked on the Ed Show, Rep Paul handed Ed has butt in a basket with a chuckle.
Ed was rabid about a citizen showing up at an event where the President was due to appear packing heat. Rep Paul just chuckled. It was priceless.
Break to commercial and my channel surfing continued.

Guess this means that the hundreds of unarmed protesters in Portsmouth didnt prove that they were peaceful because they lacked the proper display of firepower. Only to you, Mike, you sniveling little liberal puke.

This was a lot better than Paul’s last appearance on the Ed Show. This time, he put that idiotic gas bag Schultz in his place.

You are either ignorant or deceitful. Those are pictures from a tea party gathering in Chicago.

He claims the protests were about Obamacare; they are not. These protests photos are of tea parties. That’s what I was remarking on and he has corrected his subsequent posts to say that the pictures are from Tea Parties.

How can this be? I thought Paul was a troofer who thinks Bush, the CIA, and Mossad did 9/11 so they could steal Muslim oil!

My response precisely. Where did he represent these pics as being anywhere OTHER THAN Chicago?

They hate it when conservatives act responsibly, which means that for the most part, they hate us all the time.
