I neglected to mention whackjob Truthers as loathsome and despicable, but would assuredly have done so had I known I was dealing with one.

So now I'm an anti-semite, a Scientologist and a 9/11 truther ... this after I just told you I don't agree with or endorse Paul when it comes to the WOT.

You really are a nasty person. You know you're wrong. You know you can't support what you've said about me. So you just make up stuff, project onto me things I have not said, refuse to address any of the points I've raised - ie. how do Paul's statements I posted conflict with conservative principles?

I don't know what's driving your insanity, but you need to get back on the pills.

Now apologize.

The article you’ve posted, the arguments you’ve attempted to put forward (badly, sloppily), the attacks and insinuations you’ve made, the interminable insistence that Ron Paul is an exemplar of mainstream conservatism—merely buttress my initial impression.

It’s generally true someone posts an article on this forum because one is fully in agreement with its contents or because one wants to underscore the absurdities of the moonbat left. You, on the other hand, refuse to claim identification with the central ideas expressed in the article, which is rife with extremist and fringe references and beliefs, either implied or stated outright. According to you, SittinYonder, you merely posted it to ‘encourage discussion’. Do you think posting portions of Mao’s ‘Little Red Book’ or Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ would encourage discussion? I’m sure they would. It would also make you an object of derision and scorn, and rightfully so. Sometimes Stormfront trolls will come over here and post vaguely worded, pseudo-scientific articles from the vile ‘New Renaissance’ site or whatever on the supposed disparities between the races, in order to insinuate their various pathologies into the forum in an attempt to ‘mainstream’ their extremist viewpoints, or DU trolls will do something similar, in hopes of exposing the conservative right as inherently racist, ignorant, and hateful. They always give themselves away.

I think you’re testing the waters, posting an article oozing with conspiratorial bile and then making above-it-all, noncommittal remarks about the validity of its central message. I’ll give you points for originality of approach, but the article speaks for itself: paranoid, extremist, reality-challenged. And you posted it. For discussion.

The Democratic Party base has been taken over by far-left, moonbat MoveOn extremists. It happened because mainstream, old-school Truman Democrats didn’t speak out, react, or respond until it was too late. The right has its own fringe, a fringe that seems intent upon copying the methods of its left-wing counterparts—witness the recent spamming of on-line internet polls, as only one example. Witness, too, blogosphere attacks on figures like Charles Johnson and Michelle Malkin—attacks coordinated by Paul supporters, among others. I’m no Pat Buchanan fan, but at least he and his supporters play it straight.

In any event, the fringe of the right—which is, by the way, not representative of conservative ideals—is not going to suborn the Republican Party without me and people like me just standing by, doing nothing. So take your notions of Neo-con/Neo-liberal global conspiracy elsewhere.

For the very last time, you’ll receive no apologies from me.
