I always regret clicking on HuffPo links.

 

[nobody's_hero]

The story wasn't bad.

The comments are always puke-worthy.

 

[Lindsey]

I was referring to the comments and the delegate count on the right.

Yep, pea brains are representin.

Yep, pea brains are representin.

HuffPo screens their posters/posers... if you lash out at the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto, the Orwellian censors BAN YOU immediately.

It's a rigged audience and like the Communists @ CNN's site... few squeak through.

MSN comments are painful.

Loving the video.

That is MY BOY! I LOVE Ron Paul.

"No way am I giving up from returning to our roots. What about the deficit? If we don't quit spending we have a problem. I won't support out-militarizing Obama. The others represent the past. They are living with their head in the sand. No common ground with Mitt Romney on economics, foreign policy or civil liberty."

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ron Paul. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I derive such a sick satisfaction from commenting on HuffPo articles? Is it a moral flaw? Am I just mean? Pent up anger?

Great article.

i particularly like how huffpo comments give the impression they know something about ron paul that the rest of society doesn't. you can sense the fear.

Fear? Well, fear that a person like Dr. Paul gets into office, certainly.

Those people commenting reflect how a large percentage of Americans think. Particularly, since it *is* Huffpo, liberal Americans, but still.

I don't actually see many libertarians debate with conservatives or liberals. I mean, I don't see many liberals and conservatives debate much either (most forums become a kind of inhospitable echo-chamber where either liberals or conservatives dominate and think all who see things differently are 'trolls', 'insane', and 'out of touch with reality'), but I still think it'd be interesting.

perhaps i should change fear to cognitive dissonance. the majority of dr pauls comments are actually liberal positions and many of the huffpo readers just ignore it simply because he has the wrong letter next to his name. the fear is that they have to confront the fact that they agree with almost everything he said in that interview, but feel more comfortable with ad hominen attacks. its shallow and pathetic.

I'm really not sure how people here think liberals can like libertarian ideas. Many liberals support things that are fundamentally at odds with libertarian doctrine. Health care, affirmative action, subsidies, unions, aid for whoever is classified as unfortunate, etc, etc, etc.

I'm having fun replying to them...

I'm having fun replying to them...

There's something like 5,000 comments, so get to work, lol.

You can't even go to the next page without it scrolling comments over from the previous page. I clicked to skip from page 1 to page 4 and was reading the same things, as new comments had been added. It's blowing up.

Which, is kind of ironic when they say that Ron Paul has no chance or 'he's just a nobody' and yet they'll spend half a Sunday posting comments on HuffPo that no one gives a shit about.

me too.
