Doctor (Paul's) Strangelovers

This is OT, but it's so good that I felt I had to link it. A blogger catches a Ron Paul supporter's wrestling with his conscience over the New Republic's scoop last week about Ron Paul's racist and homophobic newsletters. Eventually the conscience loses and the supporter remains a cult member.

Yet Moron the Ron Paul Nuts

Here's a clip of a particularly vile group of Ronulans harassing Sean Hannity. Warning: Lots of filthy language, definitely NSFW.



Ron Paul answers a question about his 9-11 kook supporters in last night's debate:



Asked about whether the Troofers should abandon the "9-11 was an inside job" rhetoric, he replies:

"Well, it doesn't do me any good, so if they care about me they should."

Of course, the fruitcakes twist themselves into knots trying to convince each other that he doesn't really mean it:

Just my personal opinion, but I thought Ron Paul handled himself very well with this question. I know you guys don't want to hear this, but anyone who has been paying attention to the recent trends with the issue of 9/11 truth and the presidential race knows well that if Ron Paul had answered any other way, FOX News would never have let him get past it.

BTW, with all the talk about John McCain's age, how many people know he's actually a year younger than Ron Paul?

Update: Our buddy the Feathered Bastard has his own inimitable take on Ron and his KKK supporters:

Hess explained that he and Paul are the best of pals. He stated that Paul's message resonated with a lot of folks, not just the Sand Land schutzstaffel.

Oh, man, I wish I had half his writing talent! Highly, highly recommended!

Nut Eleven

I'd love to incorporate more parody into the blog, but parody requires taking reality and stretching it to a ridiculous extent. As we have seen, these kooks are already stretching so far they make Plastic Man look normal.

For example, the Ron Paul nuts noticed something highly suspicious in Rudy Giuliani's vote count:

According to this stat: http://ronrox.com/paulstats.php

Campton - 604 votes
VOTE COUNT METHOD: Hand Counted Paper Ballots
- Giuliani = 55 votes = 9.11%

Hampton - 3,141 votes
VOTE COUNT METHOD: Diebold Accuvote optical scan ; contractor: LHS Associates/John Silvestro
- Giuliani = 286 votes = 9.11%

Sandwich - 395 votes
VOTE COUNT METHOD: Hand Counted Paper Ballots
- Giuliani = 36 votes = 9.11%

I just have to say…. Americans, please take your country back! Look at what these criminals are doing to you. This example is outrageous.

Compton, Hampton, and Sandwitch need to be investigated. These are really sick people and shoving our faces in their crimes. Giuliani getting 9.11% of the vote is really sick. These people need to be checked out and if crimes have been committed they need to be charged and sentenced.

This is one of two things.

Its either the universe directing our attention to Rudy’s complicity in 9/11 (not that Rudy hasn’t done that enough already)

Or the criminals are deliberately fixing the vote to create those percentages so as to rub their crimes in Americans faces.

The universe did it!

I mean, how do you parodize that?

How To Restore the Constitution? Start By Breaking the Law...

A week or so ago, a story was broken that some of the emails supporting Ron Paul's campaign were coming from foreign nationals. Now it turns out that some of the money that Paul is raising may be coming from overseas as well. Check out this post at the Looser Forum:

Unfortunately only Americans can donate due to election laws.

Unless you can find a Ron Paul supporter in the US, that you trust, that you may want to "BUY" something from at a very inflated price. :P

Oliver links to this post over at the Ronulans message board suggesting the same thing:

I know you can't donate to the campaign, but you can donate to individual Americans. Money is always of concern and your meetup groups want to help, we could sure use it.
We need to do all kinds of advertising - television/print/radio
I'm pretty sure that if you wanted to, you could send your money to a trusted American and ask THEM to donate to the campaign
I'm sure there are many ways that we could put your money to use that would help us get Ron Paul's campaign an asist.

I'd be willing to be a collection point (if you will) to distribute funds for various advertising projects, or to the campaign if that is what you wanted. PM me if you are interested.

One person does pop up to question the ethics of foreigners and Americans conspiring to circumvent the election laws, but that's pretty much it.

This of course is Guy Fawkes' day, when the Troofers vowed to raise $10 million in honor of V for Vendetta. How are they doing? According to this site, they're at $2.9 million, which, while far short of the goal is still an astonishing number. I remember Mitt Romney pulled a stunt like this back in the spring and managed to rake $5 million in a day. So Paul's haul is not a record, but it should buy him a few headlines tomorrow. I am hopeful that some of the reporters will look into the source of all this money.
