Ron Paul Says Accused Traitor is a Patriot
Another gem from the Mouse who needs to go the hell away:
As homosexual Army soldier Bradley Manning’s treason trial continues at Fort Meade, Maryland, the support he has received from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been curiously ignored by the major media, now touting Paul as someone who could win the January 3 Iowa Republican Caucuses. Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero” and “patriot” for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.
Oh, but it gets better.
However, speaking at a campaign rally, Paul said that while Manning may have “technically” broken the law against releasing classified information to WikiLeaks, he did so for the purpose of exposing the “horrible things” being carried out by the U.S. Government.
Referring to Manning’s detention before trial, Paul said, “Should he be locked up and imprisoned?” Manning should be seen as a “political hero” and “true patriot who reveals what’s going on,” Paul said.
The Bradley Manning Support Network published an article saying that Paul believes that Manning is a “whistleblower” and his actions “are essential to the country.”
Another “inconvenient fact” for you Paultards to chew on.
Ron Paul’s Patriotism is much the same as signing a suicide pact, then getting into a truck and driving off a cliff.
If Manning is such a patriot and what he did was so honorable, why didn’t he just plead guilty and take his punishment?
He does know that Manning is in the Army, doesn’t he? I mean, he is aware that the courthose steps gamesmanship doesn’t play well in the military, doesn’t he? What a ma-roon, as Buggs says. Man, I can’t wait until he and his minions take that one-way trip to Belize.
Oh goodie. So, using this logic, I could go rob a bank. Yeah I know it’s “technically” against the law and all, but since I’m short of cash this holiday season and I do this with the intent of exposing the greed and corruption of the banks ‘too big to fail’, I’m really just doing my patriotic duty to protest the heavy-handed thus tactics of the government. It’s not a felony, it’s whistleblowing! Awesome.
(side note: someone needs to get crack-a-lacking on a sarcasm font ASAP. The hell with a buncha Siri, I want to emote!)
Actually, if you are caught robbing a bank, wouldn’t it just be getting a tax refund? The only crime, then, would be cutting out the overpaid middle men??
Ron Paul and his bunch of Paultards have fully bastardized the Libertarian movement, turned it into moonbat heaven and made the words *In Liberty* stick in the throats of America Patriots…
Bastards!
I prefer either “Ronulans” or “Paulistinians.”
Posted this on some facebook sites and hope the mainstream media runs with it. I will be on a Talk show in North Florida with it. Once again you did a Hell of a job getting this out.
BRAVO ZULU
The lamestream media won’t touch this. They want Poly as as the Republican nominee. After he is the gloves will come off, but not before.
It is not that the MSM wants Paul as the Republican nominee. Even they know he has no chance outside of caucuses and straw polls. They do want him as a spoiler – which is why they are showing even less interest in this than they did in Obama’s embrace of Black Liberation Theology and the Ayers.
Its funny, cuz he’s the one republican the Left can get behind. They would love him.
Who would be surprised to learn that Whoville is in Ron Paul’s district and that it comprises the bulk of his constituents?
What is just as scary as the thought of having Ron Paul as president are the thoughts of who that eccentric, little Martian would appoint as Secretary Of State, Attorney General, CIA Director, Secretary Of Defense, etc.. I don’t think that any rational or even marginally sane person would be willing to be in his administration. But hey, I could be wrong. Gates was willing to work for Obama.
All that aside, the Occupiers think Ron Paul is a racist, homophobic asshole, so he can’t be all that bad….
And here I thought that Dennis Kusinich was the loopiest member of Congress. What a pair, Dennis Kusinich and Ron Paul. They are nuttier than a pair of squirrel turds. And [both] of them want to be POTUS? We’re doomed …, doomed, I say.
Who would be surprised to learn that Ron Paul is planning to appoint Dennis Kusinich as his Secratary Of State or as his Secretary Of Defense or as his CIA Director …. or to all three of those positions?
@11 – I disagree. They certainly don’t mind him being a spoiler…but there is no love on the left for Paul.
@6 – “Ron Paul and his bunch of Paultards have fully bastardized the Libertarian movement, turned it into moonbat heaven and made the words *In Liberty* stick in the throats of America Patriots…”
Thank you….saved me from typing the same thought.
another ‘crazy-leak’ from RP
Yeah he’s a real Patriot. Lets see compromises our nation’s intelligence overseas and puts the lives of our guys at undo risk. Ron Paul, still a dumbass.
Crazy leak? Bastard is on the Titanic of crazy.
What does technically against the law mean? To me it means that a law is on the books but is not enforced. There are many examples of that situation but none that I know of in which breaking a valid and enforced law is just technically illegal. But such is the way of the Paultards and Fearless Leader. Words matter to them–just not so much when the words are theirs.
Blogs are on fire with this story. MSM? Not so much.
Sparky–
Even sent it as a tip to Drudge yesterday. Nada.
Liberal type Paul voted against our Armed Forces on the homosexual problem. He needs to just go away.
Inconvenient fact? He is actually having occasonal flashes of lucidity, especially compared to the other republican extremeist candidates; he’s looking better all the time.
Please tell me you don’t honestly believe what you just wrote, Joe. Fact is, you wouldn’t vote for Paul regardless, so why are you even piping in on this score?
Well, he says some things that exhibit some common sense, esp. foreign policy stuff, and then he comes out with some way-out-on-Pluto kinda stuff, a lot of it related to domestic policy.
I’m sending this everywhere I can. Paul is a wackjob. When the Left starts to embrace a “Republican”..it time to look at that candidate. Paul’s not getting the military vote for this and a host of other reasons.
His foreign policy stuff, as you put it, is a steaming pile of sprinkly unicorn shit. And even most of his domestic policy is unrealistic–“I’m gonna abolish the IRS!” Really, Ron? How ya gonna do that, considering that the Executive Branch doesn’t have the authority to do that?
Paul is just red meat for the stoopid and the liberals (but I repeat myself) who want to rail against the establishment GOP. An earlier poster refered to Dennis Kucinich–further proof that if you go far enough around the bend, you’ll meet your political opposite eventually.
@25: Yeah, I always consider who leftist extremists think is a good candidate before I vote. Just like when democrat strategists tell us who a good republican candidate would be. Riiiiight.
Ron Paul is an anti-semitic nutbar; period. Of course you like his foreign policy, because it coincides with the left so well “stick your fricken head in the sand and tell yourself that America is to blame for everything and there are no bad guys anywhere else”. That’s a great foreign policy.
I’m still looking for liberals who support Paul. Though his comments are out in orbit, he’s not an isolated case. Judson Phillips of Tea Party Nation is right along side him lately in terms of amusing positions.
CI: “I’m still looking for liberals who support Paul.”
This is from a post I wrote earlier this year;
“The Ron Paul people are closer and closer to our talking points with each election,” Code Pink activist Liz Hourican told FoxNews.com.
Not to sound too paranoid, but in a roundabout way of thinking, would it be possible that sitting on information like this (only to bring it out later) would not only serve to discredit him but the Tea Party as well?
Case in point–the MSM has taken on the meme that Ron Paul had something, anything, to do with the formation and leading of the Tea Party. It’s complete horseshit, but since when has that stopped them?
If you can somehow tie any resurgence/rise in popularity of the TP during the election cycle with Paul or any potential nominee (save Romney who keeps well clear of the Tea Party), you’ve effectively 1–discredited Paul, 2–discredited the Tea Party in the minds of the mushy middle, 3–discredited any political (read: conservative) candidate who would have tried to ride the Tea Party coattails in an attempt to repeat 2010. It’s kind of a, “Hey, Paul formed the Tea Party and he’s a whackjob saying stupid shit, which makes anyone in the Tea Party or looking for their support a whackjob too!”
I’m still looking for liberals who support Paul.
I’ve seen plenty in NH–mostly college kids/younger adults who register as independent who vote in the GOP primary for Paul, then turned around and voted for Obama in the general.
Tatooed, ear-gauges, tongue-piercing, hippie types. Believe me, I was doing door-knocks for the GOP in the runup to the 2008 general and a whole LOT of them were like that.
The RP nuts also like to say how the military has donanted more to Paul then any of the candidate. Who the hellk would cut their own throat by voting for this guy. The DOD is already cutting civilian postions. RP is as bad as Obama.
RP is WORSE than Obama. At least Obama is up front for his hatred of the military and security of our nation.
Not to mention his disdain for our allies, and embracing our enemies, Sparky. Ronpaul is the same book, just a different jacket.
@36 – Thanks.
I’m not sure how much credence I’d give to the spokesperson for Code Pink; and the advocacy has seemed to be one way.
Beyond that, the left wing blogosphere seems to have a far different opinion of him.
#29 – “steaming pile of sprinkly unicorn shit”??? LOL!!!
#32 – During an interview on FOX a few days ago, Ron Paul said that [he] was the founder of the Tea Party movement.
You mean he lied??? I’m shocked …, shocked I tell you.
That being, CI? Some paint him as a nutbag extremist (true, but more along Joe’s line of thinking on domestic/foreign policy.)
Some actually think he’s along the same lines as Huntsman–a voice of reason in the wilderness.
As I’ve stated earlier, you can be far enough around the bend to where you meet your political opposite.
@40 – He’s certainly not along the lines of Huntsman. Huntsman I could vote for, for POTUS. Paul…not so much.
The left [as I’ve seen it] is roundly and vocally against his ideas regarding entitlements, abortion, taxes, gun rights, homeschooling, immigration, etc..
I don’t know how you can figure that Kusinich is Paul’s
political opposite. They’re loopy for the same reasons.
As to Kucinich, sometimes you can hear lies for so long it’s hard to recognize the truth when you hear it.
Brian…I say that only because even though they’re from opposite political parties, both of them are so far removed from the mainstream of their respective parties there is no longer much difference between the two.
And Joe? Credibity, meet shitter.
Oh
#32″ Case in point–the MSM has taken on the meme that Ron Paul had something, anything, to do with the formation and leading of the Tea Party. It’s complete horseshit, but since when has that stopped them?” Exactly. This is another lie the Paulites and their allies constantly drone on about which is completely false.
#34″The RP nuts also like to say how the military has donanted more to Paul then any of the candidate.” Headhunter, do you know where that assertion even comes from? Origionally the claim was that he receives more donations from Vets, I have seen no evidence of this either. With the convulted logic of the Paulites this could be pulled from any orifice.
“RP is as bad as Obama.” Completely agree.
#39″#32 – During an interview on FOX a few days ago, Ron Paul said that [he] was the founder of the Tea Party movement.
You mean he lied??? I’m shocked …, shocked I tell you.” HAHA!!! Must of missed that. You know I think he isn’t so much lieing as he really believes it. Rand his son, the senator from Kentucky, does a much better job of masking this then his father, despite advocating most of the same trop.
Joe: I might agree with some of his domestic beliefs, especially when he wants the law to be strictly constitutional, but Foreign Policy? You seriously think there is any sanity when he says we’re making shit up about Iran? His denials about Iran is kinda like listening to some of the Kerry camp’s denials about the Swift boat guys (in essence making it painfully obvious that they’re true)
