Lew Rockwell - Ron Paul Kids Do Us Proud

[William R]

I'm not sure what it means to you, but generally acting respectful to me means having a civil discourse, not making posts filled with personal attacks and little to no relevance.

Paul not hitting back at The Donald

So when U.S. diplomats walk out during an Iran president's speech, it's OK, but when people walk out from an arch Neocon's speech, that's bad?

 

[libertybrewcity]

They booed Paul when he won last time, and they will do the same this time if he wins.

Just saying.

not if we pack the hall before hand.

And that is like you telling people to "Shut up kid" and "You are so dense" how? Practice what you preach.

I'm glad they treated them like the scum they are.

Indeed. The tables have turned.

Now the fake defender of the constitution is getting booed. Anybody watch the 2007 debates to see the real defender get booed? The tea party may be co-opted again but by the election of Rand if he hasn't already...

The crowd was electric in person. It felt right. I know the media puts their spin on it. But the status quo got an in person message that we are growing and not going away.

Only read to this post so far but I think its time to be bold. It was a good time to show a peaceful but loud resistance imo. It shouldn't be overdone but next to impossible to control.

It is disrespectful but the crowd is full of volunteers and probably some people who would like to cause a scene for other purposes. A few shouts are expected but Donald Trump took a good whack at a beehive. Way to instantly make a few million enemies while trying to promote yourself.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Are we not desperate?

"Desperate times require what? DRASTIC MEASURES YES!!! WHO SAID THAT?!?!?!?!?"

LO FRIKKIN L!

Masters degree in communication??? Just goes to show how good state run education is, pay your tuition and show up for class and we'll give you a degree in anything. I almost feel bad for the guy.

 

[low preference guy]

Thanks you Ron Paul kids!

 

[low preference guy]

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.

that's right.

SO, start chanting USA USA!

"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. "

This is awesome!

 

[sluggo]

At first I think about how rude it was to heckle Dick and Rummy.

Then I think about how many kids get their arms and legs blown off everyday because of their lies.

 

[bobbyw24]

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.

Exactly! He is not helping anything with this piece

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I can see more people voting for Romney though out of anti-Paul sentiment. There will probably be enough people to defeat Paul if they all combine together. Hopefully not though.

This is exactly my worry. Paul is expected to finish first and Romney a "strong second." Some of the Ron Paul "supporters" are probably turning so many people off that the non-Paul/Romney supporters might get together and all vote Romney just to deny Paul.

Because they LOVES them some Cheney and Rumsfield!

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

These neoconservatives don't like Ron Paul but as far as it's known: they haven't heckled Ron Paul. Wonder how many people here would be going crazy if Ron Paul was heavily booed by Romney supporters and they yelled "isolationist" or whatever at him.

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.

It's tiring to see people compare this meaningless, idiotic behavior to something revolutionary. It's not. It's not becoming a minute man during the revolutionary war to fight for independence. It's not a mass protest for civil rights. It's a small group of people booing and yelling things that make the others in the room roll their eyes.

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.

As to the USA chants, whe should have counter chanted something like:
Fascism, Fascism!
Corporate State, Corporate State!
Police State, Police State!

or something like that....

 

[Cap]

The message had to be sent to the neocons. We are not your typical brainwashed mundanes. We have been paying attention.

 

[Romulus]

I don't see any reason we should feel obligated to go along with the narrative that the rude people were Ron Paul supporters.

EXACTLY. Talk about ASSumptions and jumping to conclusions.
