Is anybody else at all concerned about the RT connection?

I'm sure this has been asked before, so please direct me to the correct thread if one exists....but....

I'm seeing a ton of liberty proponents featured on the Russia Today station. On the one hand, I'm stoked that there is professional(-ish) media paying attention to the cause and to Ron Paul's campaign. On the other hand, I see a HUGE potential for the campaign and all of us being painted as anti-American by the neocons and others, for catering to foreign interests. The potential argument would be that Russia's government naturally wants a weaker central government in the U.S. therefore it supports candidates that are for limiting government. IF THAT WERE the case, which I'm sure it isn't, the Russians would have made a poor bet since they'd be supporting the one guy that can provide us with both liberty AND security. Nonetheless, this all just seems ripe for a scandal should Dr. Paul begin performing well at the early primaries.

Has anybody else had similar concerns, thoughts, solutions?

It's one of those the enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing. Russia takes advantage of the anger in this country. Not much a person can do about it.

Actually it's cause RT is Russia Today, them endorsing Paul makes him look bad.

What is all this bull about them being 'our enemy'? Russia Today is not our enemy and neither is the Russia. Nor are they the Soviet Union any more - of course their being an 'enemy' was over-rated propaganda by the military industrial complex.

Russia Today stands strong for liberty principles and patriots like Adam Kokesh find it their only venue they can spread the message on.

Seems that 95 % of the Ron Paul articles are on RT.com. Really never bothered with it but they seem to really have the SEO keywords or something down for Dr. Paul.

I blog a lot and the TR is used against Dr. Paul often. I swear, there must be a "liberal slander the GOP list" somewhere that these people cut and paste from. They sure have the tough ones for Dr. Paul.

I just thought of a good response:

Russia Television sees that the media is blocking out Dr. Paul's message -- so they want to make sure America hears it (since they hate the American media). LOL

Does that sound right?
