Adam Holland takes a look through the Campaign for Liberty website (formerly Texas Congressman Ron Paul’s official campaign site, now a Paulian gathering place), and discovers a motherlode of really bad craziness — raving antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and extreme anti-government paranoia: What’s new on Ron Paul’s website?

Here's a post that touts "33 Conspiracy Theories that Turned out to be True", put on the site by someone calling himself illuminati hater. Mysteriously, only 26 conspiracy theories appear in the post. I assume the Illuminati are responsible for deleting the other 7.
Ha!

Here's one from Liberty Forest (a Paulian message board)
Jewish Interests Apprehensive About Tea Party
[Link: www.forward.com...]
Perhaps they are afraid that the truth of the absolute Zionist dominance over America may get out of the bag.
They really do HATE Ron Paul.

OH NOOOOOO! No more free money that they (Israel -ed) didn't do SHIT to earn! Now they will have to earn it through production & international trade. What a HORRIBLE prospect. OH THE HUMANITY!

Wonder if he even went to the U.S. Mint site?
United States Mint American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins
American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins are the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint and offered for sale through a network of Authorized Purchasers. These $50 gold coins are available to members of the public seeking a simple and tangible means to own and invest in 24-karat gold in the form of legal tender coins whose content and purity is guaranteed by the United States Government.
Not to mention you can still find and use real Silver dollars if you want.

Revise high school and college text books to include honest discussions of the Federal Reserve Banking System, Fractional Reserve Banking, the origin of money, the history of the House of Rothschild banking interests, and the part that Wall Street investment groups like the Carlyle Group, Goldman Sachs and Blackstone have on our country's monetary and foreign policies.Include discussions of groups like the "Council on Foreign Relations", the "Bilderbergers", The "Trilateral Commission", and the "International Monetary Fund." Explain how members of these groups, which, by the way, are not elected, control the domestic and foreign policies of this country.

The favorite themes of conspiracists, bad money, nefarious Jews, masonic plotters, go all the way back to the late 18th century and the conservative reaction to the Enlightenment and its tangible offspring, the American and French revolutions. These people are reactionary in a profound sense, and to a greater degree than even many of their critics realize.

Paulians are all over the GOP website. [Click the "blog" tab, scroll to third article. It's from Lew Rockwell dot com.] I don't think they show themselves to be as unhinged as the examples Adam Holland shows from Paul's own site, but I haven't scoured the place either.
But the GOP is not responsible, of course.

The yellow bracelet, like the yellow ribbon on the back of an SUV, has lost pretty much all meaning as a social statement anymore. Of course, that's true with any fad that becomes a commercial success.

re: #11 Aceofwhat?
Oh yes. Here is a more complete quote .
"The dragon is Lucifer, the Devil.
Rev. 13:15 And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
As US citizens if we don't have legal use of silver and gold coinage and don't repeal national legal tender laws then we are heading toward either a type of the 'beast' cashless society or we will be at the doorstep ready to walk through the doorway into the end times having to face in reality 'the beast coming up out of the earth' .
If this is only a type of the 'beast' cashless society than it is the sworn duty of every Christian to oppose with all their strength this evil. And if it is not known to be a type or the real thing than it is still the duty of anyone calling themselves Christian to fight this evil and oppose it because it is in fact, 'evil' usury."
There is even more. He definatly goes off the deep end

Not because I don't admire attractive women, but because places like Hooters, Applebee's, TGI Friday's, Planet Hollywood, and Hard Rock Cafe all serve the same mediocre shit food. The only exception I make is if I'm at Harvey's in Lake Tahoe and want some crap food to hold me for the drive home and I feel like dropping twenty bucks in a poker machine while eating...then I go to the Hard Rock.

Trilateral Commission, official site.
The actual TC is a fairly harmless and largely ineffectual conclave of billionaires and other prominent types, who attempt to foster large-scale cooperation among the US, Europe, and Japan. It was founded by David Rockefeller when the similar Bilderberger group refused to include Japan.
Imho, the TC owes its position in conspiracist lore largely to its strikingly ominous name.

Tonight's dinner for me: Turkey leg confit. I seasoned a whole turkey leg yesterday, then got up at 4:30 this morning to put it in the oven for a couple of hours...so now all I have to do is heat it when I get home (probably just broil it for a half hour to crisp the top half, as the bottom half was sumerged in olive oil--I'm out of duck fat, unfortunately).

Ha! Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson leading in a Republican Primary poll.
SNIP...
The poll has Grayson leading the 13 Republicans -- among Republicans -- with 27.8 percent of the vote. The congressman who mocked the GOP health care plan by saying that it amounts to telling people not to get sick and if they do, to die quickly, received more support than all of the Republican candidates combined.No GOP candidate scored above 3.7 percent; 57.7 percent said they were undecided. Grayson did particularly well with women, undercutting the notion that referring to a Washington lobbyist as a "K Street whore" would turn female voters away. (Grayson later apologized for the word choice.)
SNIP...
Naturally, the national GOP establishment dismissed the results -- "This is the most bogus thing I've ever seen in my life," said Andy Seré, Regional Press Secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Well, that says a lot about the GOP's chances in that race come November.
