Why Do So Many Lunatics Support Ron Paul?

I don't get it. Why do so many wackos and outright lunatics support Ron Paul? Just what is it about him that attracts such crazies?

Exhibit A. The following exchange occurred on Facebook tonight:

Louis Farrakhan endorses Ron Paul

Ronnie: Ooops...

Amy: lol!

Ozzie: Its funny because it says endorses Ron Paul. But yet what he does is praise Ron Paul's will and determination to fight the illegal Federal Reserve. If you dont agree with that, then your a hopeless case.

Ronnie: You don't get it, Ozzie. No Republican politician who wants to stay in good standing with the conservative community wants Farrakhan saying nice things about him. Farrakhan is evil incarnate to the right.

Ozzie: And why is he evil? Because he speaks out also? Tells the truth about alot of subjects most wont even approach?

Ozzie: Why is the truth so hard to grasp for so called "Conservatives"?

Ozzie: If your a true conservative there is only one person to support.. Ron Paul the only true conservative to run for president. Most claim they are conservative, but just watching Fox News does not make you right, in fact it will make you look ignorant

Ronnie: Farrakhan is an abject racist, and a moronic conspiracy loon. You want to hitch your wagon to his, you go right ahead.

Amy: Farrakhan is a racist son of a bitch who hates Jews. Why is it that so many Anti-Semitic f-ers are Paulbots?

Ronnie: Thanks, Amy. I forgot about his anti-Semitism.

Amy: And don't forget about the UFOs

Ronnie: That's the moronic conspiracy crap I was referring to. Farrakhan's a nut.

Ozzie: Same old statements same old false bs

Amy: It's not bs. Are you a Farrahkanbot, too?

Ozzie: Paulbots hate jews and are anti-semitic. Couldnt be farther from the truth

Ronnie: Don't you wish they were false. Unfortunately, Farrakhan is on record making hundreds, if not thousands of racist comments. Don't forget his little talk about the Mothership .. LOL

Ronnie: Ozzie, you sound like a lib. Are you a lib?

Ozzie: I support Paul not Farrakhan. But I have heard alot of truth out of Farrakhan including this vid.

Ozzie: Everyone is a liberal if they dont agree with you guys.

Ronnie: So, you ARE a liberal. Thanks.

Ozzie: Keep watching Fox News and believing that our goal as a country is to support and protect Israel. Nothing else matters in the entire world but Israel.

Amy: Ozzie, Hitler said lots of truths. He probably said "2+2=4" at one time. That doesn't make him any less a piece of sh**, like Farrakhan. And as Ronnie said, Farrakhan isn't shy about speaking his sh** to the media. I would guess there are thousands of racist remarks that can be cited by that piece of sh**.

Ozzie: Ron Paul is far from a liberal.

Amy: Ozzie, why do you hate Israel so much?

Amy: Ozzie, why do you hate Jews so much?

Ronnie: Ah.....so you're an anti-Semite to boot. Nice.

Ozzie: I never said I hate Israel or that I hate jews, but thats how your arguments go you put words in peoples mouths.

Ozzie: Maybe you should learn the true history of Israel.

Ronnie: Hey Ozzie. What sort of flag is that in your avatar? Looks like an alteration of Old Glory to me.

Amy: You said I watch Fox News. I don't, and I never have.

Ozzie: Or just sit back and watch your zionist controlled media in which you love.

Amy: Oh, the "true" history of Israel. Care to tell me about the "true" history of Israel?

Ozzie: Its a flag in which you will know nothing about because your a war mongerer.

Ronnie: Only libs rail like that against Fox News. Real conservatives don't think much of that news channel. In fact, most conservatives can't stand it. You're outing yourself, Ozzie.

Ozzie: Sorry Amy your far from savable. Your lost and educated like the mass sheeple.

Ronnie: Hey Amy......we got us a 'true believer' here.

Amy: ‎"Zionist Controlled Media." I was right... you're a racist mf-er. Do you believe the Jews caused 9/11 too?

Amy: Oh Ozzie, I'm brighter than you will ever be.

Ozzie: Media isnt controlled by Zionists? Prove that one.

Ronnie: Tell me more about your flag, traitor.

Ozzie: name calling is so good.

Amy: Ok Ozzie.....Not one of the major television news operations—Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, or NBC News—is currently headed by a Jewish executive.

Ozzie: Traitor?

Ronnie: Not name calling. I'm identifying and classifying you. Keep talking. I'm working on your dossier.

Ozzie: And that proves what Amy?

Ronnie: That you're a moron, Ozzie.

Amy: That the Jews don't control the media. Duh.

Ozzie: Do you think having unwavering support for Israel makes you American?

Ronnie: Don'tcha just love having these sorts of civil discussions with Paul supporters, Amy? They're always so......enlightening.

Ozzie: Because an executive isnt jewish means the media isnt controlled by zionists?

Ozzie: You guys are the morons

Amy: BTW a-hole, if you are a conservative, then you should encourage successful people to rise to the top. The Jews have been disproportionately successful for centuries. One of the reasons why is that Gentiles did not allow them to own land, so they had to be professionals.

Ronnie: Ozzie, you're what Lenin and Stalin called a "useful idiot". I'll bet you voted for Obama and attended at least one Occupy protest. You're a brainwashed lib, and it shows.

Amy: So racists, like you and Hitler, call them lazy, but they were only lazy because they could not own land and become farmers. They had to work in the cities. And because of strong family values, they did well in school, and succeeded. Without going to wikipedia, Jews were about 1% of the population in Germany, yet received 35% of the Nobel prizes awarded to Germans prior to Hitler. Why do you hate Jews for being successful?

Ozzie: Ronnie your not even close which just proves how clueless you idiots are. Go to the voting booth next year and act like yo have a choice. Act like your free.

Ronnie: You voted for Obama, didn't you Ozzie. Admit it.

Amy: Jews have been -----ed for thousands of years. They finally have their own homeland. It's a ----ing desert that they turned into a mecca. If the Palestinian leader sh** weren't a bunch of insane radical muzzies, there would be peace in the Middle East. But they leaders suck. Arafat was the biggest peace of sh** ever. He stole from his people.

Ozzie: I would never vote for a Democrat. Never have, I have just awoke to the truths in this world and I am not living in the la la land you still seem to occupy.

Amy: I think I recall that the Muzzies attacked Israel on the very first day of their assistance... RIGHT????

Amy: Come on Ozzie... tell me the "truth" about Israel. I'm waiting....

Ronnie: I pity you Ozzie. You only think you're free. You're a liberal sheeple, whose head has been stuffed with all kinds of lies about your country. You've drunk the Kool-Aid, and think you've got the answers, when all you've got is some first class indoctrination.

Ozzie: I must have touched a soft spot with you and the jews Amy. Its always so easy to see, anyone who doesnt support Ron Paul and considers themself conservative always reverts to Israel and jews.

Ronnie: Oh really? Who threw out the "Zionist" card?

Ronnie: I don't believe a word you say, Ozzie. You're a liberal, pretending to be 'something' else. What that is, I don't really know. Sorta typical of you Paul supporters.

Amy: No, dumb----, you said Farrakhan was ok.... REMEMBER????

Ozzie: Its just plain easy to see.. The media is controlled and its so simple to see

Amy: I have lots of Paulbot friends. And it's not Ron Paul that I hate... it's you racist f-ers.

And so it went, for perhaps another thirty posts or so.

It really is a shame that there are so many ignorant on the constitution. A nation of uneducated ignorant liberal morons.

[Cheburashka]

There’s another thing I like. In the days of fighting sail, a Letter of Marque and Reprisal was a government license authorizing a person (known as a privateer) to attack and capture enemy vessels, and bring them before admiralty courts for condemnation and sale. Calling the September 11, 2001, attacks an act of “air piracy”, Paul introduced the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001.

Letters of marque and reprisal would have targeted specific terrorist suspects instead of invoking war against a foreign state. Paul reintroduced this legislation as the Marque and Reprisal Act of 2007. He voted with the majority for the original Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists in Afghanistan. In April 2009, following the Maersk Alabama hijacking, he proposed issuing letters of marque to combat the problem of piracy in Somalia.

---

Letters of Marque and Reprisal were government-issued authorizations for piratical acts by the civilians who received one. They were abolished in the 1850’s by the major European powers. Don't expect their reinstatement any time soon. Why anyone would believe the government should be in the business of encouraging piracy is beyond me.

There would be not profit in having a Letter of Marque unless you could commit acts of piracy (A/K/A as stealing other people's stuff) so the idea that they would actually solve anything off the coast of Somalia is laughable, as is the idea they would solve anything anywhere else.

"First stop - Ron Paul."

A few people who would not vote for establishment Republicans under any circumstances, and chose Obummer out of exasperation, no doubt.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“Most of them are young, earnest and in search of simple solutions to complex problems. “

Very true. They think the world is a simple place. Kind of like being able to solve complex issues like is done in a one hour television show.

"It really is a shame that there are so many ignorant on the constitution. A nation of uneducated ignorant liberal morons."

Worth repeating bump.

[Designer]

"Just what is it about Ron Paul that attracts these nuts?"

Could it be that your're simply more attuned to noticing nuts?

[SaraJohnson]

The most vehement opposition to Paul is not his position on shrinking government power and spending and restoring individual rights. It is his vision for our military as a homeland security operation rather than a global “peace keeper.”

He has support from those who want a constitutional government restored and he has support from peaceniks who want our military out of the global role it currently plays.
Ofcourse, the neo-nazis are on the bandwagon of withdrawing US military support to Israel because they want Jews dead. They are an active, loud and proud mob in kookville.

[Bikkuri]

Correct me if I am wrong... but a Libertarian IS an anarchist, more or less...

He is L’tarian with (R) by his name hoping he has a chance :p

[Chickensoup]

small L libertarians are far from anarchy. They are commited to freedom, defense, the Constitution, common law, and capatilism that is true, not the crony capitalism that has taken our country down.

I like more and more what I hear about libertarianism. I am far from a lunatic.

[goat granny]

I don’t know how Washington, Adams, and Jefferson would be perceived today, but I still have the same opinion I had of Ron Paul today as yesterday and the funniest thing I saw about Paul was his false eyebrows...Was that photoshopped or was it real? If it was for real, the poor man needs medication not the presidency.. Pictures today cannot be taken as real with photoshoping and some are excellent with it.... :O)

[Windflier]

Could it be that your're simply more attuned to noticing nuts?

I think I'd be in trouble if I didn't notice them.

[Designer]

"..the funniest thing I saw about Paul was his false eyebrows..."

Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

Weird eyebrows are nothing to be overly worried about. Heck, I've got hair growing out of my EARS!!!! Now THAT's weird!

[goat granny]

Thats why I wondered if the eyebrow incident was real for photoshopped.

I always wondered why when we grow old our hair gets confused....with men it leaves the head and heads for the ears and nose. For women it leaves the head and heads for a mustache and beard..

[golux]

Why anyone would believe the government should be in the business of encouraging piracy is beyond me. Indeed it is beyond you.

[Windflier]

He is L’tarian with (R) by his name hoping he has a chance

And most Republican voters see that, which is why Paul never garners more than a small percentage of the primary vote.

He needs to run in the Libertarian primary.../sarc

[GlockThe Vote]

I’m not a nut - and agree with maybe 60% of what he stands for - but the 60% he stands for is so important to correct in our nation - that i support him for POTUS.

Freedom - Fiscal Responsibility - End the Fed

[Windflier]

...the 60% he stands for is so important to correct in our nation - that i support him for POTUS.

Sigh.....and what are you gonna do about him cutting our military down to the size of Guatemala's? A whole lot of good the rest of his agenda will do, when our enemies can finally overwhelm us militarily.

[GlockThe Vote]

Do you have a calculator handy? Until and unless we chop 43% of govt, we are in deficit. Tell me how we make that up?

everything needs to be cut or we will be like Greece and Portugal very soon. We can’t afford a global force for peace anymore. We are broke.

[redhead]

"Why Do So Many Lunatics Support Ron Paul?"

I'll take "Questions Which Answer Themselves" for $500, Alex."

[little jeremiah]

Because he’s a libertarian. GlocktheVote said he supported RP because of RP’s stand on “domestic issues” and “civil rights”. Code words for dope, porn, prostitution and faggot “rights”. “Civil rights” can only mean faggotry, since blacks can sit in the front of the bus and women can vote.
