Tim Blair thinks people have only started leaving anti-Israel comments at LGF since my new “leftish conversion.” He says these are my “new friends.” Blair, you ignorant slut. People have been leaving anti-Israel comments at LGF for many years. It happens every time there’s a phony international incident like this. The ...

In an interview with Don Imus, Ron Paul calls for the US to abandon Israel, calls Gaza a “concentration camp,” and recites a litany of anti-Israel talking points, including the canard that Israel is starving the people of Gaza. One of the biggest influences on the modern Republican Party sounds just ...

Here’s Ron Paul, on the Alex Jones show again. Nobody seems to think this is odd. Cue Twilight Zone theme. [Video]

Check out Rand Paul, doin’ the campaign staff shuffle. And gettin’ the GOP establishment makeover. Ditchin’ his dad’s cronies. Not talkin’ ‘bout civil rights no mo’. No, no, no. Doin’. The campaign staff. Shuffle. BOWLING GREEN — Kentucky senatorial candidate Rand Paul said Tuesday he’s planning a campaign staff shake-up a ...

At ReligionDispatches, Sarah Posner has some more data on Rand Paul’s crackpot brand of libertarianism, which is inexplicably mixed with fundamentalist Christianity: Rand Paul: We Wouldn’t Need Laws If Everyone Were Christian. Appearing on The Brody File, Rand Paul, who believes that portions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act need ...

Not surprising, since Ron’s views on the Civil Rights Act are (at least publicly) even more extreme than Rand’s: Ron Paul Rises to Son’s Defense in Civil Rights Dust-Up. It’s a conspiracy by the left, of course. Default wingnut response to setbacks. Rep. Ron Paul said Thursday the criticism of his ...

As Rand Paul does his best to dodge and obfuscate his position on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it should be pointed out that he’s simply being a chip off the old block. In 2004, his father Ron Paul was the only member of Congress who voted “NO” on a ...

Neo-Nazis say: The RAND Paul Money Bomb! Help Elect Rand Paul to U.S. Senate - Stormfront. (Google cache link.) Hmm. How much of Rand Paul’s campaign money came from Stormfront readers? Just wonderin’. His dad had a similar issue, by the way. Curious. Ron Paul: No Problem with Donations from Neo-Nazis.

CNN is calling the Kentucky primary race for Rand Paul; Paul exploited the tea party connection for all it was worth, but the reality is that this is more of a victory for the Ron Paul populist movement and the resurgence of paranoid John Birch Society-influenced ideology. At this point, you ...

One of the best indicators of the extremism that now dominates the Republican Party is the very likely nomination of Ron Paul’s son, Rand Paul, for the US Senate in Kentucky. Like his father Ron, Rand Paul is about as far to the right as it’s possible for a human ...

Isolationist, antisemitic, anti-science, racist, associated with the John Birch Society and prone to believing in conspiracy theories. These are qualities that the Iowa Republican Party seems to find desirable, because they’re enthusiastically embracing Ron Paul’s twisted vision of conservatism: The RPI Revolution? In every election or campaign, there are events and ...

OK, here’s the “Wow!” moment of the day, as the Republican Party of Maine adopts a new party platform straight from the loony bin. The official platform for the Republican Party of Maine is now a mix of right-wing fringe policies, libertarian buzzwords and outright conspiracy theories. The document calls for ...

The far right freak show called Freedom Watch will soon be a mainstream staple on the Fox Business Network, hosted by Judge Andrew Napolitano. Freedom Watch began as a web-only show; here’s an episode featuring one of Napolitano’s frequent guests, conspiracy whack job Alex Jones, who Napolitano introduces as “the one, ...

A new poll shows that tea partiers are divided into two camps — the Crazy faction, and the Crazier faction: Sarah Palin vs. Ron Paul. A distinct fault line … runs through the tea party activist base, characterized by two wings led by the politicians who ranked highest when respondents ...

This is some pretty extraordinary video, as the audience at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference boos their own speakers. In the first part of the clip, Mike Pence is booed by Ron Paul supporters for saying, “America stands with Israel.” In the second part, Ron Paul gets going with his isolationist wackiness ...

Ron Paul’s legions of devoted followers are slipping. They used to be the champions of poll spamming. Mitt Romney Wins GOP Presidential Straw Poll. NEW ORLEANS — By a single vote, Mitt Romney won the straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership conference here Saturday in a victory that will ...

Several people have emailed to point out that the recently arrested leader of the “Hutaree” militia was described as a “fanatic Ron Paul supporter.” Imagine my shock. My surprise, if you will. Adam Holland has a good post on David Brian Stone’s attraction to Dr. Paul, the current support Stone is getting ...

Fox News and the right wing kookosphere have been gradually bringing insane 9/11 Truther Alex Jones into the mainstream for the past year. Judge Andrew Napolitano has been one of the most persistent; he introduced Jones on his Fox News webcast as “the one, the only, the great Alex Jones.” ...

I posted a link to the audio of Pentagon shooter John Patrick Bedell’s “manifesto” last night, but here’s a summary of what’s on that audio recording: Pentagon Shooter Worshipped Private Property Rights, Denounced Government ‘Schemes’ Like Public Education. The California man who opened fire last night outside the Pentagon was ...

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?

Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 11:25:43 am
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) really lets his kook flag fly in this clip, accusing the Federal Reserve of helping Saddam Hussein buy weapons, helping fund the Watergate burglary, and planning a secret bailout of … Greece. Fed Chief Ben Bernanke’s reply (as people laugh in the background): “These specific allegations you’ve ...

Theocrat Mike Huckabee has blasted the CPAC conference, because of the domination by Ron Paul libertarians. This is where the tea party coalition begins to fall apart, because religious right conservatives like Huckabee are diametrically opposed to the laissez faire libertarian social philosophy. People like the Huckster are very much in ...

The neo-Nazi sites are all lathered up about Ron Paul winning the CPAC straw poll. And they’re not happy about LGF’s take on it. Not at all.

Dave Weigel tweets from CPAC: Paul creams Romney in poll, 31 percent to 22 percent. So Ron Paul’s anti-war isolationist paleolibertarian ideology wins another poll! There’s never been a poll Ron Paul couldn’t win, unless you count a presidential primary race.

Noblesse Oblige has a list of Politicians Who Suck for Signing up to Speak at a Bircher Sponsored Convention. Here’s the list from CPAC, where the John Birch Society and Oathkeepers are Cosponsors. All of the people below are listed as confirmed speakers at the CPAC website. I’m a ...
