Fuck Ron Paul.

[TheWraith]

And seriously, double extra fuck you to the newbie Paul trolls who show up here pretending to some kind of anti-war moral purity, while pimping for a knuckle-dragging racist homophobic shitbag who if he hadn't gotten into medical school would probably have moved to a cabin in Idaho and started building bombs.

[PeaceNikki]

1. K&R. Right in the ear.

2. 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

3. Extra bonus fuck-yous to the ones who think they're being clever

completely unaware of how transparent and obvious they are.

They've permanently transposed "clever" and "clueless."

5. Too many take him at superficial value and don't dig into all of the sh** he says and believes.

[Spazito]

6. Yep, Fuck Ron Paul

and all his enablers.

to the rest of your commentary as well.

[seabeyond]

7. second it. and shame on them. nt

[FarLeftFist]

8. So we're willing to give up 200+ years of progress forming a more perfect union for Ron Paul's lies?

Like ANY republican in Congress or Senate is willing to back Ron on de-funding the military. It's funny how these moRon's try to poke fun at people for blindly following Obama while themselves blindly following a career politician and a racist homophobe like Paul. Heal thyself physicians, heal thyself.

[PeaceNikki]

9. moRons. Love it!

[Whisp]

64. !!!

[joshcryer]

37. They wouldn't back Ron defunding the military, but they would gutting social safety nets.

They would back him completely. Give Ron Paul even a small minority and pow, byeye Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment, WIC, public education, whole nine yards.

I think deep down that Ron Paul and his loonies know that if the social safety nets are torn down then the military will have to come home, because it'll have to be used to police the madness that Ron Paul proposes.

[FarLeftFist]

59. Right on, Josh. That's exactly the progress I was referring to. It seems Paul basically advocates

Anarcho-Capitalism. He would, by default, be bending over for Wall Street corruption.

[Whisp]

65. shhhh, you might make Glenn Greenward cry.

[freshstart]

82. And, he's after unions too.

He and his son sent out a petition for the "Right to Work" anti-union organization.

[joshcryer]

87. Oh yes, anti-union, anti-civil rights, etc, etc. It goes very very deep.

[freshstart]

91. I know, I went back and traced him through the newspaper archives over the years,

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2h4tAAAAIBAJ&sjid=aqQEAAAAIBAJ&dq=ron%20paul%20shadow%20government&pg=2995%2C371409

"Mr. Constitution" was part of this?

I guess he thinks we have a parliamentary system of government? But, even in those systems...the appointees are elected.

[Curmudgeoness]

10. Besides your stealing EarlG's DUzy, I couldn't agree more.

Excellent rant, short and sweet.

12. Muscling in on your turf?

[CrispyQ]

14. I second that. --nt

[Terra Alta]

15. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Not sure what the Ron Paul trolls are trying to accomplish here, but they should find some libertarian forum to peddle their crap.

[freshwest]

20. It's a cult that says they must convert others to their savior, Ron Paul.

They're trying to save us, really. LOL.

They're like Ditthoheads.

Heck, what am I saying?

They ARE Dittoheads.

[bowens43]

16. agreed. nt

19. Looks like Paul and Santorum are fighting for the creep vote.

Come to think of it, creeps are a pretty big percentage of the GOP electorate.

[tavalon]

114. Creeps and Crazies

It seems to be all that they have.

[bluerum]

21. Absolutely.

[DevonRex]

22. FRP for being a disgusting racist homophobe. I expected

the racism. But the level of his homophobia is shocking and frightening. From now on, he's no different from those knuckle draggers who beat Matthew Shepard to death in Wyoming. Seriously, RP's website had a preacher showcased on it who says gays should be executed. That's all anyone needs to know about RP.

Yeah, he removed the preacher from the site. But it had already dog whistled to every vile homophobe in the US that RP is their guy.

28. Not even with your genitals. n/t

[liberalmuse]

29. The question I'm getting from hardcore liberals is this...

Is it worth it to elect Ron Paul if he could legalize pot? They say, "maybe". I say, "NO!" - he is a homophobic, misogynist, racist piece of shit, however, there are some people so weary of the mindless "War on Drugs" that they would be willing to consider voting for him if he could end it all. I'm not one of those people - being cynical and believing that he would be like every other politician once he got in office. The Federal drug raids would resume. I want this stupid war on marijuana to end, but Ron Paul is not the answer, my friends.

[ronnie624]

32. I've never gotten the impression

that ANY progressive, ANYwhere, would vote for Ron Paul for ANY reason. This hate-filled screeching about him only shows how emotional and irrational people can be over partisan politics.

[Jennicut]

78. If they need their pot that badly then they have issues.

Pot vs electing a racist, homophobic, anti women freak.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

88. Anyone thinking

of voting for Paul due to a marijuana reform is not a hard core liberal. They're a pot head!

[Historic NY]

96. Exactly...somehow they're forgetting congress has a role.

[ellisonz]

100. You have to be high to think a Ron Paul presidency would be anything but disasterous...

...he wouldn't get anything done at all. Ron Paul is all hot air.

[Prophet 451]

30. And his worshippers creep me the fuck out

They're like locusts, they swarm to defend Dear Leader whenever the truth about him is told.

[TheWraith]

38. I prefer the term "Paultry."

They flock like chickens, demonstrate the same level of brains, crow all the time, and spread crap everywhere.

I recced just based on your subject line. Then I read your post.

I wanted to rec again.

DU4 needs DOUBLE RECS!!!

[LynneSin]

39. There is no reason any Ron Paul support should be here on DU

The man is a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.

To support him means you are ok that he is these things.

Unacceptable!

[LeftishBrit]

42. Indeed - not to mention an extreme economic right-winger who would be happy to let poor people die

and drag the world back to the time of Dickens.

[Major Hogwash]

70. No kidding.

The people have spoken, Fuck Ron Paul.

[_ed_]

116. I will never vote Paul, but

I don't get your political purity test. Racism, sexism, and homophobia are abhorrent, but on the other hand, Obama claims the power to assassinate American citizens. Is racism really worse than a President putting a drone strike on your head? I'd rather be alive and marginalized by a racist than killed by a man who probably doesn't hate me just because of my race.

By your logic, you could never possibly vote for someone who assassinates Americans, including teens. What about Obama's homophobia?

Do you vote? How?

[ronnie624]

117. Those are some uncomfortable questions, there, ed.

Many very smart people argue that racism is actually necessary to waging war. It is certainly always prevalent during the process of manufacturing consent. When political leaders need war, the system inevitably turns to stereotypes and other means of instilling racist contempt in the population. And our government -- including the current administration -- often takes up with racist, misogynistic, homophobic 'allies' in the interest pushing a self-serving foreign policy agenda.

Introspection is often highly frowned upon, however, during election season.

[LynneSin]

127. Obama's homophobia? Really? Have you slept the past 3 years

Seriously, I never asked for the perfect candidate - the only candidate that supports 100% of the ideas I support is myself and well, I'm not running for office.

However, there is no excuse for homophobia, racism or sexism. End of discussion.

[LeftishBrit]

41. k&r!

But with the proviso that it should not be taken literally re RP - he has spread his genes far too much already.

[Dragonbreathp9d]

45. None for SOP.

44. K & R

I even made a Fuck Ron Paul video.

I already got my first Ron Paul troll messaging me:

"What do you think of Ron Paul?
His stance against American imperialism seems logical,what do you disagree with him on?"

As if my video doesn't make quite clear just a few of my objections...

[BootinUp]

84. nice work.

101. I'm thinking of doing a series.

46. EWWWW! I'd leave that to his wife! n/t

47. As if the military industrial complex and war is the only problem the 99% have...

Ron Paul's economy has been tried before. It was called the Lochner era. Sucked

Austrians are delusional

[mindwalker_i]

49. Bad idea. Fucking Ron Paul would result in

Santorum.

77. Mental image now stuck in my head all night.

Eww.

But yes, Santorum is like some evil devil child that would be the spawn of Ron Paul.

[Surya Gayatri]

[tavalon]

115. Double Duzy!!!!

[Texas Lawyer]

50. Relax: (1) Paul will NEVER win, (2) Paul's rejection will help demonstrate to anti-war Republicans

there is no such thing as an anti-war Republican, (3) judging by the Des Moines Register poll yesterday, Paul is the only factor that will delay the coronation of Romney as long as possible and delaying the coronation helps Obama, (4) if Paul runs as a third-party candidate, he hurts Romney more than Obama, and (5) if the Paulista wingnuts were not supporting Paul, they would probably be supporting some other wingnut who might actually have a chance at affecting the national debate (or -- worse still -- they'd be pushing Palin to enter the race).

Paulistas are just like unwanted religious missionaries who knock on your door to interrupt your weekend in order to offer you half-baked literature you don't want: you could get furious, but the easiest and best thing to do is to politely send them away.

[MerryBlooms]

51. Doubt if they're new. n/t

52. what garbage

[MH1]

57. what's garbage, RP or the OP?

I'm saying RP, but wonder if that's what you meant.

[inna]

67. omg, both

[inna]

68. by "OP", meaning, the "original post", no comment on the poster whatsoever

[joshcryer]

72. So you welcome the Ron Paul trolls and Ron Paul's lies on imperialism?

Ron Paul is not an anti-imperialist, he just changes one form of imperialism (a Republican oligarchy) with another (a laissez-faire capitalist empire).

[inna]

73. huh?...

wtf are u even talking about?....


confusion, huh?

[joshcryer]

80. Sorry.

Don't know how to phrase it, basically Ron Paul is a pro-capitalist imperialist madman.

[wakemewhenitsover]

53. Well spoken. K&R n/t

58. Rec for style points.

Nice rant.

[Scurrilous]

60. Sunday night after dinner kick.

[webDude]

61. Spoken like a true adolescent. You may want to consider that Paul is being attacked by the same..

...identical talking points as the Republicans, as if they came from the same place. Operation Mockingbird, irrelevant if the points have any validity. Who's a good little tool?

[pnwmom]

89. Who's a good little tool? Ron Paul, of course.

No one here is being a tool. The only tool is Ron Paul himself, who allowed himself to be used by racists like Lew Rockwell in order to make millions of dollars for Ron Paul Associates.


The reason the "talking points" are the same is that blatant racism is rejected these days on both sides of the aisle.

[Bluenorthwest]

62. Agreed. I'll add that it amuses me, the suden alarm toward Paul, when for years

no matter what he said or did, he remained in Congress, hardly mentioned at all by the same people who now, just add water, are simply full steam chewing the fuck out of the jerk. Decades of the most hideous anti-minority rhetoric out of Congress, and nary a cross word was spoken. The sudden Paul awareness is good to see, although the reasons for it and the long delay in commencement do paint it as temporary electoral paranoia. It seems affected, to an extent.
I hope once he's not in 'the running' folks here will remain organized against him and all who promote his anti equality trash. I know they won't yet hope springs eternal.

[Whisp]

63. double rec

[TBF]

66. Thank you.

If I hear one more person refer to this idiot as an "outsider" I am going to lose my lunch all over them - this fucker has been in Congress for a quarter of a century and is full-throttle for unregulated capitalism. Obama may not have gotten everything through that we would've liked, but this guy will take us back to the stone ages. I especially question the mental status of any woman or minority that would vote for this fool.

[demgrrrll]

69. Today I saw a group of young kids in the middle of an intersection collecting money for Ron Paul.

For some reason the energy reminded me of old time Moonies. What is it with him and his rabid followers. That would be a very interesting discussion.

[Stuart G]

74. It is not pretty to say "fuck Ron Paul..but..

Ron Paul would clear fuck all the poor and middle class people in this country..
No Social Security
No Medicare
No Social Net..so he says fuck us..
...................................................same to you asshole.

[JoePhilly]

75. YUP ... F-R-P!! ... But I do hope he wins Iowa because that will

Fuck the GOP

[bluestate10]

83. I hope Paul wins the repubican Iowa caucus also. That would gum up the republican party.

And put it's factions at each other's throat to the point where Paul will be embittered and run third party. Given the people that support Paul, any general run by him will seriously hurt the republican nominee.

[JoePhilly]

85. Agree completely ... I want the GOp to fracture into splinter groups

that totally hate each other.

[LynneSin]

76. I do have to give Ron Paul credit for one thing only...

He's got the balls to say what the other GOP nominees won't say but whose actions are just as homophobic, racist and sexist as Paul. Any one of those GOP candidates (outside of Mitt Romney) would be happy to overturn Civil Rights laws, treat homosexual as mental degenerates and make women second class citizens - they just won't come out and say it the way Ron Paul does. At least with Ron Paul he puts on paper exactly what he stands for but those other GOPers will try to pussyfoot around these issues until elected but then do whatever they can to ruin any civil right movements advancement over the ages.

If Abraham Lincoln was alive today I can rest assure he would wash his hands of today's GOP party!

[deacon]

79. K + R I can't believe a loser nutbag like ron paul gets so much air time on DU. n/t

[mmonk]

86. Ummmm, no thanks.

[lib2DaBone]

90. Ron Paul is not the answer.. he is even worse than Obama....

Ron Paul will gut the Social Safety net at a time when we are most vunerable.

SCHIP, Food Stamps, Medicare and Medicade.. all gone under Ron Paul.

Paul will only love-tap the Military... while our bridges, roads and schools collapse.

No.. as good an arument as he makes.. Ron Paul is not the Answer.

[FSogol]

93. You know, you shouldn't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about Paul.

I could care less about Ron Paul but this thread seems to be more at home at Red State.

[MrMickeysMom]

97. Somebody DID fuck him?

And, look what THAT produced!

[Surya Gayatri]

106. OMG, yes! Rand Paul! n/t

[CreekDog]

98. can't believe I rec'd this but Paul is scary

and his defenders, at least of the liberal persuasion, seem to think we can implement the Paul plan for less wars and defense without the plans for letting civil rights, the environment be destroyed while removing any support for the poor and middle class that is currently in place.

he is an unmitigated disaster.

[Skittles]

102. CORRECT

[Surya Gayatri]

103. Tell it, Wraith...

"knuckle-dragging racist homophobic shitbag who if he hadn't gotten into medical school would probably have moved to a cabin in Idaho and started building bombs".
Never heard a better thumb-nail bio of the bastard. SG

[joshcryer]

107. Glad this is getting more recs than the most popular Ron Paul apologia.

Though it's still depressing the Ron Paul apologia gets almost a third as many.

[HappyMe]

108. k&r

I can't understand why they don't look a little further into this bullshitter.

Fuck Ron Paul.

[madokie]

109. fuck ron paul and the paulites right along with him

The last thing we need is a ron paul pResidency. It would make w's pResidency look like a walk in the park

[Highway61]

110. So, does this mean you really don't like him?

Seriously, agree 100%, just made us crack up over here when I read your post aloud. Love it.

[Grateful for Hope]

111. K&R

You've pretty much touched the salient points.

[spanone]

112. k&r...

[reACTIONary]

118. And you would be making an individual choice that...

[tavalon]

123. Indeed

But Santorum isn't coming near me or my dog, thank you very much.

[reACTIONary]

119. And +1 for the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1964...

Thank you JFK & LBJ. And for the trolls who support the "Ron Paul Constitution":

"Congress asserted its authority to legislate under several different parts of the United States Constitution, principally its power to regulate interstate commerce under Article One (section 8), its duty to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment."

[the_chinuk]

120. K & R, with added Mencken

As H.L. himself opined, "The American People ought to get what they deserve ... good and hard."

[awoke_in_2003]

121. A big old K&R. nt

[Delzars]

122. Policies & Positions vs. Candidates who espouse them.

I'm not a newbie to DU but I rarely post. I don't support Ron Paul or most of his policies. But he is the only candidate addressing and speaking out against a few policies I don't support. I don't support war, especially endless war. I don't support torture. I don't support indefinite detention without charges, conviction or due process for anyone, including US citizens. I don't support the imperial presidency as practiced by Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. or Obama. I don't support the assassination of US citizens because a President just decrees it. I don't support the corrupt looting of the American middle class by the banker class (specifically aided and abetted by all the same Presidents I listed above.) I don't support the all out war on whistleblower's who expose corruption. They are heroes, not criminals. I don't support the ever growing police state. I don't support the ever growing surveillance state. I don't support the mass spying on Americans. I don't support the Obama administrations refusal to go after the worst financial criminals in world history. I don't support the Fed's implosion of the US economy through outright theft.

There is no other Republican candidate addressing these issues. The only Democratic candidate (and current President) is responsible for taking many of these policies farther than they've ever been taken in this country, so I'm not really looking to him anymore for solutions to these problems.

I think it does little practical good (beyond just venting) to say "Fuck Ron Paul." I've been a registered and voting liberal, progressive Democrat my entire adult life. And I feel betrayed by Obama and his administration. This doesn't equate to a Ron Paul vote for me, primarily because I'm a union member with a wife and children. (as well as all of his negative positions listed in this thread) But I am definitely listening and paying attention to the positions from my first paragraph that Ron Paul is addressing.

Obama really changed my world view for the worst. I think he has destroyed the "hope" and belief of an entire generation in politics and government. I personally don't believe anything Obama says anymore. If you remove what he says and just look at what he has done, it is frightening. I never dreamed my vote would result in the destruction of my privacy, due process or even my life.

I don't believe in Republicans, Democrats or candidates anymore. I only believe in positions and policies.

I don't care if Ron Paul takes votes away from Romney or Obama. I just "hope" he forces the Republocrat or Democrublican parties to face some of these important issues.

So, I guess I would add to your post title and say "Fuck Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Barrack Obama, Republicans and Democrats." And with that, I'm just venting.

Ron Paul has exposed the morally bankrupt underbelly of the the liberal/Democratic leadership in this country. As a progressive, it's embarrassing and deeply disturbing to me that Ron Paul is the one discussing and advocating these positions while the leaders on the left are silent.

[HappyMe]

124. Fuck Ron Paul & Ayn Rand too.

[Evasporque]

125. and the horse he rode in on

somebody had to say that...

[Mr Dixon]

126. Very Sad

The mere fact that he is polling so well, means that this country has a lot more crazies then I thought How Sad.
