New Barr Press Release: Calls us a Cult of Personality!

[Trigonx]

All i see is jealousy coming from the Barr campaign. If they would take the time to listen to a few of Dr. Paul's speeches at rallies they would know its about the message and not the messenger. I for one have never thought about voting for Barr because of his voting record on key issues like the Patriot Act and the war. To expect Dr. Paul to handle this situation any different than he did would mean you don't have the slightest clue about his integrity and character. As Dr. Paul has said many times hes the messenger and his job is to get us active and that we have the obligation to not sit around but to spread the message of freedom and further its cause. At the press conference Dr. Paul's whole speech was all about getting the people to change the system which is completely biased by not voting for McBama, to spin this as saying Dr. Paul lacks leadership rather than focusing on promoting freedom by attending the conference is absurd. I personally think Dr. Paul is showing plenty of leadership by just doing what hes been doing, and that is staying true to himself and continuing to fight for our rights no matter what people say about him or do against him.

Yes. In fact, it's my understanding Barr has been given the cold shoulder many, many times. I'd expect nothing less from Ron's campaign managers....the same people praising Benton now and the holiness that is his position wanted him to resign months ago.

Two very good men are surrounded by awful aides....Benton and his crew being the worst among them.

Who the heck is praising Benton??? I haven't seen anybody praising Benton.

There was a lot of hurtful insulting remarks on hear that were childish attacking Barr. To the inmature people who post stupid shit think before you post something. You can divide this movment as well. I don't agree with Barr on his decision yesterday but I didn't get rude over it.

CNN was here and made this forum look like a joke IMO.

Benton and the managers set up events...not Ron. His aides have always been incompetent. Do you care to address the rest of my post?

A pro free healthcare, pro carbon tax socialist is not better than Barr.

You are very short-sighted.

I'm in agreement 100%. The best argument people have against Barr is "neocon" and "noshow." They need to get a life and actually promote liberty rather than attempting to isolate it.

Argh! Just when I was starting to cool down a little bit from yesterday, Barr goes and releases this:

Wtf... are you kidding me?

I hate Bob Barr...


I mean I really hate this man.

Damn, CNN was here? I forgot to dress up and be on my best behavior!

 

[Alawn]

we all read about the rumors floating around about Barr dropping out.

I suspect it is totally accurate that the CFL did that to increase viewership. What a shitty thing to do!

The empire of lies seems to be strong in the CFL.

You are delusional. Nobody really believed that. Plus any stupid rumors were started by idiots on the internet on message boards not the campaign.

 

[ARealConservative]

Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty is an Empire of Lies?

HA HA HA HA

Nice Try

it sure seems so.

We know for a fact that the C4L was told 3 hours before the event that Barr was out, yet Paul acted as if he was going to arrive at anytime.

Nobody has explained this one to me yet.

+1, Bob Barr really showed his true colors yesterday. He knows he's not going to win, he even admitted it to Cavuto before he became the LP nominee. What would this hurt? I'll tell you. Bob Barr doesn't want to be seen with them because he's going to re-join the GOP and run for POTUS in 2012 if McCain loses.

Let's get this straight

Barr Lied to Ron Paul about attending the press conference

Barr is trying to divide this movement, he who has shown his true colors in his recent actions are words.

How do we know this is the fact again? I missed it.

Umm, ok.

I have no idea if Barr has been given the cold shoulder by Paul's people.

Both campaigns are/were amateurishly run.

Paul is definately a very good man, but I now have severe doubts about Barr's goodness.

I have no love for Benton, haven't seen him being praised by anybody, and think it's all his fault for calling yesterday's announcement "major" in the first place. He seems to be best at creating clusterfucks.

 

[tropicangela]

[Paul]... applauded ‘non-voters’. To me encouraging people not to vote is not principled leadership for the Liberty agenda. http://campaign.blog.bobbarr2008.com...mes-of-crisis/

Really? Because this is what came in my mailbox today from Ron Paul that was sent to the National Press Club:

For me, though, my advice—for what it’s worth—is to vote! Reject the two candidates who demand perpetuation of the status quo and pick one of the alternatives that you have the greatest affinity to, based on the other issues.

 

[Perry]

Today our campaign is being criticized by a few people...

If Barr has taken this time to respond so quickly then it's a heck of a lot more than just a few people.

Way to minimize Bob!
Bob Barr has destroyed his chances and he deserves it. He won't live this one down.

 

[tropicangela]

And +300,000,000

I never heard of Barr dropping out.

 

[Cowlesy]

Hah --- don't you all just love Washington wonks with their little rumor-games, blog posts and other assorted sillyness?

Glad this guy said "a few people" --- yeah, only a couple.

And as for "cult of personality" --- I was wondering why we had a few trolls over the past few weeks popping up and taking that line --- must be on a scratch-pad to use against Paul supporters somewhere.

Guess what...if Ron Paul just dumped all his principles, decided that all we can use now to fix the problem is fascism.....0.001% of this board would start going "ZOMG...RON PAUL SAYS FASCISM IZ HAS THE ANSWER...FASCISM FTW!!" ---- the rest of us would ask that he seek psychiatric help.

This guy's "blog post" fuckin' fails.

You might have that percentage a mite high, but otherwise qft.

Lets set-up a Chip-in so Barr can buy one of these and get there faster.
