..update, I did find an article from 98 about him apologizing to Bosnia and requesting a congressional resolution reimbursing them for our actions.. still no recent discussions with foreign leaders.. I can find no reference to him meeting with a single foreign leader since 2000, and still only the one trip to Prague. (since 2000.)

There may be some legs to your story, but it has more to do with this Penny Freeman lady and not Paul. From what I can find, ever since she quit the campaign, she has been all over Alex Jones’ radio program and some other fringe programs giving interviews and saying some pretty outlandish stuff, even misrepresenting Paul (saying he voted for something he voted against, etc.)

Last i was able to tell, she was still with the campaign (or at least with Ron Paul) as of April 4, 2k7.

There may be something funny going on here, because, according to George W. Bush and OrthodoxPresbyterian, both of whom are volunteers with the Ron Paul campaign, Penny Freeman is still with the campaign.

We might be seeing some disinfo from some quarter.

It may be that Gulfbreeze's constituent was contacted by somebody who wasn't who she claimed to be.

i'm certain that some people here will be looking into that.

Thanks for the heads-up

I actually think Ron Paul will do well in this, 3rd or 2nd place probably. He’s been gunning at this thing for a while, and got all his foot soldiers to lobby the actual delegates. The top tier really don’t care much about this event, and he’s got a seat there too.

It will be interesting to see how many delegates are even available to vote.

[George W. Bush]

WASHINGTON - A Texas congressman said Wednesday that he fears he may be "bombed" by the federal government in an incident similar to the Branch Davidian raid near Waco. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Surfside, also said on C-SPAN's Washington Journal that he did not think the Branch Davidians committed any crimes. He made the comments during a discussion about civil liberties.

Are you objecting or what? That vicious drunken lesbian Janet Reno was the Xlinton henchman in a massacre of a rather cultish group of more-or-less innocent folks in Waco.

It was the first step in massacring Christians in America, a fond dream of the militant Left. I would expect more of it if the Xlintons return to the White House.

The Xlintons aren't just bad. They're evil.

[mnehring]

Nothing, I just thought it was funny.

[George W. Bush]

Hey George, you think this guy is the latest incarnation of Eric Dondero? They're from the same region, and appear to work or have worked roughly the same kind of job.

Dondero has a steady M.O. of going under his own name, a vanity thing. At least, when he shows up on Libertarian boards or making comments on RP blogs, he uses "Eric Dondero".

[mnehring]

I found two articles (including the one I linked to that it looks like she posted here on Free Republic) that referred to her as a ‘former campaign staffer for Paul’.

[George W. Bush]

Nothing, I just thought it was funny.

There's nothing funny about a hundred Christians getting barbecued by the Xlintons.

We didn't do combat in Bosnia, just peacekeeping, got to be something specific and obscure.

This whole thing is becoming more and more convoluted.

Might be worth seeing how this turns out.

[mnehring]

And there wasn’t anything innocent about people walled up in a compound killing police officers and their own children..

..but that is a fight for another day.. The Clintoons handled it wrong, but so did the Dividians.

i scanned that in my searches as well. Notice that there is no URL for the posted article?

Gentlemen, (pardon me if i got the wrong gender for anyone) it appears that we have moved beyond convoluted into bizzare.

Some whackjob called me on behalf of Duncan Hunter last night - at nearly 11 PM, awakening both my wife and my son.

“Is this too late to call?” he asked.
FR policies prevent me from posting my reply to him.

[GulfBreeze]

Penny has always been as high up as I said in Ron’s organization. I noticed a post here on this thread just a moment ago that indicates she is not there anymore. I don’t know if that’s the fact or not. They seemed to have a lot of facts.

Penny told our volunteer that Ron had been to on a trip to the mideast (nothing wrong with that, he IS a congressman) and that he apologised for us “interfering” with their countries to their leaders.

This lady, the constituent, was and is, a regular volunteer for Republican candidates and the Republican party.

If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. It is from my own experiences exactly as I have relayed it to you.

[jedward]

Some here have called you a troll. I’d say you look more like a former freeper. Duncan Hunter would not want you as a supporter.

[mnehring]

Gentlemen, (pardon me if i got the wrong gender for anyone) it appears that we have moved beyond convoluted into bizzare.

I took from that article that I referenced that it was posted by Penny herself based on the person it was written in and the reference tag on the article.

This is getting very bizarre.. I think there is enough in Paul's record to keep him from being qualified for President, at that, town crier, but I don't want to see BS going around about anybody.

This does keep 'Paul' news on the top though doesn't it? Ron Paul is kind of like an internet hoax, if you ignore it, it goes away, but if you keep passing along the e-mail, it keeps popping up..

[GulfBreeze]

Look, I was dealt with rudely and dealt it back in the same measure. I apologized for the content and for losing my temper. Get over it.

[jedward]

Ok, thanks. I’m over it.

[GulfBreeze]

Thanks. BTW , I Reported my own post asking that it be pulled.

[jedward]

Great. That would have been my only suggestion.
