“Generally, the most strident opposition to Ron Paul is from the cagier variety of Juliebots who survived the purge.”
That’s my thinking as well.
Since the setup debate in SC, juliebots everywhere have been trying to link RP with the Rosie crowd. Diabolically twisting his statement while applauding julieannie’s response. They are fervently trying to bar him from future debates. Imagine, a 10 term congressmen being barred from presidential debates and labelled a wacko because he upholds the US Constitution.
RP never said Americans “invited” the attack. He never blamed Americans for the attack. He blames the foriegn policy of the US govt driven in large part by the UN.
We american citizens have no control over it. RP is the lone congressman who fights this battle for American citizens. And then to deny that US govt foreign intervention in the middle east played no role in the 911 attack is like denying that dropping nuclear bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki had no effect on the japanese people. But get this, while RP blames the attack on US policy of intervention and meddling, the juliebots are busy trying to link him to the 911 truther crowd. Talk about dishonesty.
Sure, julieannie got the applause of the audience when he interupted to twist and contort RPs statement, with “I’ve never heard that one before...we invited the attack...” yada yada yada, but, was he being truthful? He’s never heard that foreign intervention has a cause and effect? He’s never heard of the cia concept of blowback?
One would think that anyone hawking themselves as an expert on terrorism might have considered the possibility of cause and effect associated with blowback.
I am considering whether or not the debate scenario was a set up. The question asked RP, then the follow-up (”are you suggesting we invited the attack” from Wendell) and then allowing julieannie to interrupt him with his dishonest smackdown and the resulting applause. Was julieannie’s mic supposed to be on? Were the mics of the others on too?
America deserves a fair and honest debate of the issues. I smell a skunk.
