Hurts Liberty Movement

[1836]

I haven't posted here really in quite a while, but I'm very involved in the GOP like so many of you.

Folks, this tweet thing is a disaster. I heard about it earlier today. It really hurts the liberty movement. If Ron Paul doesn't personally clear this up very soon, it's going to absolutely hurt everyone in the liberty movement and it will hurt Rand, too.

I pray that someone involved with Ron Paul personally is reading this forum and has the good sense to have him clear his name.

By the way... I don't actually think he wrote the tweet. I know for a fact his accounts are not run by him. That's what's so disgusting about this.

Ron Paul is a kindly man who decries all violence and would never praise the death of anyone. I've seen it up close and personal. Ron Paul would say this is sad, and not much else.

This is not a time to panic, this is a time for the big guy to make things right. Please, Ron, go clear this up.

I agree, we are electing alot of our committe chairs in my district this week, after the election alot of the people at the meetings were looking at us Ron Paulers for advice as to what they could do different, some were listening and our "leader" CJ was in a good spot to get elected this week, I promise that won't happen now, everyone there know's what strong RP supporter my sister and I are, it's not like we can blend in at this point.

Who was "praising" anyone's death? Did you even read the tweet?

After further review I am now offfically thoroughly pissed off at the tweet.

Ironically it may only help Rand after his statement, however it hurts all who have described themselves as Ron Paul people. Truth or fiction, it is in bad taste.

The whole thing was orchestrated to break Rand away from his father and his nutjob supporters, and it worked. Look at the bright side, you still have Glenn Beck on your side for a while until Rubio wins his heart. Too bad not even Rand can beat a Democrat in the general election without us.

Both of you are reading way too much into this.

Paying respect to the deceased and looking for the source of blame are both common responses to death.

Blame the twitter world that gets peoples knee jerk reactions before they get a chance to think it through on what's appropriate.

It's not Rand's fault. He was stuck in the bad position.

 

[ninepointfive]

meh

 

[phill4paul]

Which position was that?

 

[TheGrinch]

Some of you need to learn not to sensationalize things like the media. I'm not seeing as much objectivity anymore in forming opinions, it seems to be confirmation bias at work.

 

[RonRocks]

This is getting ridiculous. The only ones shoveling anger and 'disgust' are the mainline GOP'ers, Neo-Cons and So-con types, read:Santorum and Gingrich supporters. They've always been the most hostile towards us, even more than the left. They idolize goon soldiers who just follow orders and are trigger-happy with labeling others unpatriotic. F'em, there's nothing to apologize for, it was frank, perhaps a bit more so than usual, but I don't find anything offensive or shocking about it. Where is their humanity when they hear the news of children being killed by drones? What, those lives aren't as valuable? They're far more repulsive in their thought process than Ron ever was.

Gingrich supporters often like Ron, but only the smart ones. I can't see anyone smart having a major shift of consciousness over this at all. But I do appreciate that the incredible hoopla the MSM is dishing out could make it awkward for people in actually in meetings with other Gop'rs in the next few days. Because they will only believe the spin, and some of it is outrageous.

Do I get lumped with "Dr. Loopy" and comments I probably would never say regardless of politics or do I make my own statement and look like I hate my dad?

 

[NH4RonPaul]

Let the neotards misinterpret In no way was Ron insulting Kyle Did you all read his FaceBook page???

Why are people supporting Rand who said we could bomb Iran?

Yes. THAT sounded like Ron. Some thoughts, if it was his tweet, shouldn't be conveyed in 140 letters.
