Are all Ron Paul's supporters as dishonest and divisive as you?
I posted Sarah Palin's direct words, with a verifiable and credible source.
Are you suggesting that they are "dishonest and divisive"?


A question Lakeshark: what does Rab's views regarding Ron Paul (pro or con) have to do with the statements from Sarah Palin, direct quotes?

If I post a quote from George Herbert Walker Bush about the 'New World Order', nobody says "Mark, you dirtbag, you're just a Reaganite, that's why you don't like GHWB!"

The fact is, it DOES NOT MATTER if a poster supports, or leans to one candidate or another, if they make a post that is accurate, if the quotes they include are true, if the sources are verifiable, it should make no difference who they personally support.

It actually does matter, as Paul's supporters are perhaps the most rabid and divisive and dishonest in the fringe of the conservative movement.

He isn't giving her whole history of quotes, and as I pointed out even this time, he underlined areas for his divisive benefit, forgetting the part where she says to secure the border.

Fwiw, I admire Reagan the most of any political figure on the right, and Ron Paul cut off one of the legs of what Reagan called the three legged stool and shortened the other two, and I dislike that intensely.

It does when you make one out to be an 'enemy' or RINO, especially when the other one you support is equally, if not more, of an 'enemy' or RINO.

Here. Let me give you an example:

The standard Palin-hater line: 'She's supporting a RINO socialist so she is also one!'

Now when Rabs (or any of the usual Paulbots who hate Palin) post articles touting Ron Paul, then, based on your own haphazard reasoning, this must also be true:

'Ron Paul supported and endorsed Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney, two of the biggest liberal socialists in the USA today. So because he endorsed/supported them, he must also be a liberal socialist'

The hypocrisy is easy to see. But it doesn't surprise me you don't see it.

It would be one thing if you and your buddies actually listed Palin positions you oppose. At least that way, you'd have some credibility.

But the fact that you and your buddies keep beating the same 'guilty by association' crap, and post the same ludicrous reasoning why you loathe Palin, and then turn around and fail to see why you look so utterly ridiculous is precisely why you and your ilk are being called hypocrites.

Your same 'reasoning' is being used against you, and you're too ignorant to even see it.
