I agree with Lester. The Nazi slur has been thrown around so much it has lost its effectiveness. It lost its effectiveness a long time ago. Most Americans don’t care.

Your right, Justaguy, the war on terror is a hoax! Terrorism is just a tactic. The war is against radical Islamic ideology.

I hate all war criminals equally. I hate Bush for the genocide he has commanded in Iraq, I hate Bill Clinton for his role in setting up the conditions to invade and commit this current round of killing.

Your war on terror is a hoax Timmy, and I hate your paymasters for inciting you to sully these threads with your warmongering and promotion of ethnic, religious and national hatred. I hate you for doing it.

When we start being civil to mass murderers, we have indeed lost any notion of “civility”.

Um. That’s to buy my soul. Freudian slip I guess…

But if someone offered you let’s say, $10,000 to come up with a list of 10 good things you could say about him and you would have to speak only positively about him for 10 minutes, I bet you could do it!

Satan would have to offer me more than 10,000 bucks to save my soul.

Maybe a date with Giovanna Mezzogiorno would do it.

I am a conservative democrat and I certainly disagree with Ron Paul when it comes to protecting our national security (its not 1789 and isolationism won’t work) but he seems like a decent and reasonable man. I have a question for everyone on this blog:

Why can’t people disagree with each other without hating each other? I mean would it not be a nicer world if liberals could strongly disagree with President Bush but not villify him and hate him? Would it not be a nicer world if conservatives could disagree with Bill or Hillary Clinton without hating them and villifying them?

You know Bill Clinton is fond of saying that there are more things that unite us than divide us. I think thats a wonderful sentiment. Let’s do an experiment, let’s say you can’t stand George Bush. But if someone offered you let’s say, $10,000 to come up with a list of 10 good things you could say about him and you would have to speak only positively about him for 10 minutes, I bet you could do it! The point is, maybe someone can explain to me where we lost the idea of civility. Can’t we disagree with each other without demonizing each other? I have been called so many names on this list it’s almost comical. But I just wish we could be more civil to one another.

Ron Paul is only a man yet his courageous recitation of the principles of individual liberty and restrictions on Government that are the foundation of this great Nation will last forever as long as we have those like anti-war.com that refuse to bow down to any King, Ceasar or Tyrant. I love Ron Paul, “The Only American Left in the Government!”

Dan Sierdaski is best known for writng a defense of Rachel Corrie against the LGF bots.

http://orthodoxanarchist.com/2005/03/28/remembering-rachel-corrie/

And he tends to be pretty consistently pro-Palestinian. He’s not really a neocon.

But the idea that Ron Paul is anti-semitic because he wouldn’t take his calls is pretty bogus.

Maybe some enterprising young Jewish freelancer can demand that Hillary Clinton release her Clinton library records and if she refuses accuse her of “not giving information to Jews”.

Blah. I’m so sick of this ethnic profiling.

I think an IRS audit would be playing right into Dr. Paul’s hands and benefit his campaign immensely. He speaks of wanting to end the IRS, and they immediately start to openly harrass him? It could draw in a huge number of new supporters since nobody is going to take the IRS’ side on anything.

Anybody remember what happened to Ross Perot in 1992? First they stirred up the fear that he might be an authoritarian. When his popularity continued after the conventions, his family was threatened. He was sufficiently shaken that he withdrew from the campaign. After a week or two, perhaps spent lining up private security, he re-entered but they successfully painted him as a flake, unreliable or what have you.

Henry:

I agree with you one hundred percent. I too fear that Ron will become the target of an escalating campaign to knock him out of the presidential race, starting with quasi-legal intimidation (e.g., IRS audits, malicious lawsuits), and when those fail, through violence. Let us hope that Ron is taking extra care to ensure his own safety. The track record of the State in exercising raw violence against freedom-loving citizens in order to ensure its own maintenance of power is too clear to ignore or dismiss.

the paul campaign and his supporters should absolutely boycott the newsmedia and go to the people. the best thing he did was the jay leno show. the snarky wonkettes and hardball people are just annoying. Why do we need to have news 24 hours a day? If we didn’t have such massive spending they wouldn’t have any stories or gossip to dish. we are essentially bankrolling their industry with our tax dollars.
