More About Tyler Collins, the Man Who Posed as a Rand Paul Fan, Complete With Tinfoil Hat
Slate ^ | August 11, 2010 | David Weigel

Posted on 08/11/2010 12:48:01 PM PDT by Second Amendment First

I just talked to Tyler Collins, who politely declined to comment as he adjusts to life as the subject of a multi-tier campaign of citizen journalism investigating his life as a Democratic activist. You know Collins. He was the guy who dressed up as a slack-jawed "Rand Paul fan," wearing a tinfoil hat and holding a sign that echoed/parodied conservative fears about illegal immigration.

Why is Collins lying low? Because he has a long picture and paper trail as a Democratic activist.

But I have to say, you are out of touch with current economic reality. In the past we had the money to spend like there is no tomorrow on the military and we don’t have that anymore. Ron Paul was wacky in the past when we had the money; now you are wacky in the present reality when we have no money.

No, Ron Paul is still wacky. Looneytunes.

Ron Paul is a nutjob whether we're in good times or bad times.

Just ask Alex Jones. Or Cynthia McKinney. Or Adam Kokesh. Or any of those other folks he likes so much.

I'd agree with that, but current obligations are just that.. obligations.

Ron Paul was wacky in the past when we had the money; now you are wacky in the present reality when we have no money.

He's still wacky. I'm not quite as wacky.

We need to focus our self defense to protect the homeland with overwhelming force and let the foreigners defend themselves.

I cannot disagree with that.

I will say this:

My eldest son is in Afghanistan. Let's not stop sending him fuel and ammo, OK?
Just because some kook is trying to make political hay out of defunding the effort. OK?

I've pinged a couple of folks who know the boy and would rather not see him die for some kook's political gain.

Let’s start with “9-11 was an inside job” and move forward from there.

YOU LIE!!! Provide proof that either of the Pauls said "9-11 was an inside job" or, if you have any self-respect, admit that you are a LIAR!

No matter, I’d vote for and support Paul over ANY democrat and probably 90% of the hack establishment Republicans.

Were it up to me I'd pull them all out tomorrow and start round the clock B-52 strikes on the Afghan/Pak border areas until the head of OBL magically appeared.

Then I'd thank them, pay off the promised bounty, and start the strikes again until nothing was left twitching. We're never going to pacify or civilize those savages and there ain't one of them worth a single drop of American blood.

Turn those 'tribal areas' into radioactive wasteland for all I care.

BTW my best friend is in Iraq right now, hoping to be out of there by Christmas.

Plus, he would be part of the marxist big government left that is trying to take over the Tea Party by having it stay a fiscal movement instead of a cultural one.

Ooopsie....looks like you've gone and freaked out one of the ever-so-charming Paulinati. One of the high priests, I believe. You can tell by their impeccable manners.

He seems even more agitated than normal. There must have been a big Star Trek Convention cancellation or something.

In other words you LIED when you directly quoted the Pauls as saying “9-11 is an inside job.” Someone who makes up fake quotations is on the level of a Dan Rather and need not be taken seriously.

He's doing fine. Apparently he's one of the only real live Certified Union Qualified Electricians in all of southern Iraq.

He tells me that if you can make a Blackhawk crews air conditioning work properly you've made friends for life. So he's pretty popular right now.

I talked to him the other day. As I said it looks like he'll be out of there by Christmas depending.

I am with you 100% on that, humblegunner. I am very concerned for our troops being under Obama with his economic wrecklessness and his “rules of engagment” to coddle the Muslims. I think Obama is setting out to crash the economy and if he succeeds, our troops are in immediate danger.

His Bible quote doesn't mention anything about the gov’t providing for your neighbor's need.

Allegra, we are broke. It has nothing to do with Ron Paul...he just is the one who said it.

You go ahead and smoke that Paul pipe.
Defund the military.
Blame the US for 9-11.

How cool, you’re awesome beyond belief.

I hope Khan pays you a nocturnal visit, Cap’n.

Humblegunner not only has a son in Afghanistan, he also has a close friend in Iraq.

He has had that situation for several years now.

Many, many people have said it.

The Paul-worshipers seem to only hear Paul.
