Ron Paul Kids Do Us Proud

At the CPAC meeting, when everyone was supposed to salute blood-drenched authoritarians Cheney and Rumsfeld, the Ron Paul libertarians refused, and walked out. One young man asked, “Where’s bin Laden?” The red-state fascist contingent chanted, as usual, “USA! USA!” by which they mean, “Federal Government! Federal Government!” Notice that the liberal Deomocratic website TPM is bugged by the opposition to Cheney-Rumsfeld. In the Beltway, forget pretend splits: they all love the State. Except the Ron Paulians, that is.

So Lew Rockwell is basically applauding Ron Paul supporters for not respecting Ron Paul's personal request for them to keep their act professional and respectable. I'm not surprised. Rockwell is an abrasive and distasteful guy; no wonder other libertarian organizations distance themselves from him.

Fukit, they should have made a citizens arrest!

Lew Rockwell doesn't vote.

haha...lew always has a way of brightening my day.

Lew Rockwell needs to shut up. Ron Paul requested that people be respectful and here's Lew cheering on their chicken shit behavior.

What a joke. It'd be better to lose the straw poll than have people there under Ron Paul's banner who can't behave like adults.

Punk kids and they hurt Ron Paul and his message.

I am sorry, but I have no respect for Cheney or Rumsfeld. The very idea makes me sick. Being quiet will not get these peoples approval. They will never approve unless Ron promises them a multi billion dollar military contract or something. Then he will be a great guy. Are you willing to go that far?

Straw man. We just want people to be polite so the people there who are not yet convinced by Ron will at least be willing to listen to him rather than be so turned off they refuse to have anything to do with us.

Many of them aren't adults. But Ron's got the huge advantage of the youth, and with all that passion and energy, you take the good with the bad.

Forget the media and their meme...Paulians are a force to be reckoned with, and if these neocons and envious liberals want to whine and cry about a few hecklers, let em.

It's not so much about getting their approval, as it is about not completely repulsing them by acting like Code Pink. Many of the people in attendance are Tea Partiers that might be persuaded to vote in favor of Ron Paul, as long as he seems like a respectable and credible candidate. Many will judge him by the actions of his supporters.

Don't you find it the least bit pitiful/embarrassing that apparently only Ron Paul supporters act like this at these events, and that only Ron Paul felt compelled to send out a letter asking supporters to mind their manners?

Did Mitt Romney need to tell his supporters not to act like fools? Why not?

But they are fools - they support Mitt Romney!

No.

I'm a grown man, with a lot to lose.

I wish I had been there.

I'd have been proud to stand with them.

And I stayed out of this entire argument so as not to appear as "egging on" while not even being there.

I'll NEVER be embarrassed to stand next to a passionate lover of freedom, EVER.

I refrained from posting about the Rumsfeld protests before it happened. Now I'll say what I think. Ron Paul covered himself a little by advising against the protest. That's fine. And so is the protest imo. The neocons paint us as weak. Fighting them shows that we are not afraid of them. It is time to declare this election a War on Neoconism.

Ron Paul we all hope becomes president because he believes in freedom. Freedom is essential because consolidation of power is a weakness. It is very possible imo that this action of individuals will prove to be a large net bonus for us in the end.

Because they LOVES them some Cheney and Rumsfield!

I know what you mean, but the comparison isn't exactly there....
