Ron Paul Twitter Account

Well, one of his staffers reportedly said that Ron has been authoring his own social media comments "since he left office."
Just peachy.

If so he would have had some much longer more thoughtful comment and cutting it to 140 letters completely changed it. It truly doesn't seem like him though, under the circumstances.
 
What an absolutely disgusting commentary saying veterans reveled in killing. I wonder what Gunny thinks of these comments. I never been ashamed to be a member of this forum until today.
This particular veteran reveled in killing. Are you not aware of who this man was? (Not that I am justifying attacking him right after his death)

You are extremely dense. For someone who knocks others for not being able to read between lines and read Rand's mind when he's pandering to neocons, you can't do it yourself. The answer to my question is clearly "none, or very, very few of them," so my point is that attacking Chris Kyle is not in any way analogous to attacking all veterans.
 
Someone better lose a job today, or Ron will lose more than one supporter.

that is problematic because I think he doesn't really have that level of staff yet. I think they are yet to be on board. I'm afraid it is going to fester and have to be addressed later. Blech.

Especially not when you couple it with the facebook posts. Someone is trolling, adding subtle little immaturities and trying to tarnish his reputation.

"Savage, despicable evil," writes Kyle. "That’s what we were fighting in Iraq…. People ask me all the time, 'How many people have you killed?’... The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more. Not for bragging rights, but because I believe the world is a better place without savages out there taking American lives."

Are all soldiers government killers then?
The ones who work for governments and kill people are. Let's look at the facts:

1) They work for the government
2) They kill people.

Are you unaware of the definitions of the words you use? Who, exactly, would be a "government killer" if not those whose work is killing people for the government?

I didn't know that to be non-interventionist you had to hate our troops.
People's emotional states will vary. I personally hate war. I hate murder. I hate mass-murderers. Connect the dots.
 
Ron has always been very clever at getting headlines and media attention. It's no accident he came to prominence. Look at his debate performances, he was even more forthright then than here. I wouldn't so far as to say this wouldn't be the kind of thing he would say, free from the halls of congress .

The man isn't even issuing video for us to make prominent. Other than his straight talk it has been radio silence. He has an entire NATION of internet sites and they are waiting on him. He isn't using what he has, why would he try to gin up attention like THIS?
 
And note to Lew Rockwell, this tweet does not speak for everyone, or what we're thinking. No donations from me this year! When a man is murdered I don't think GOOD in any case. I'm anti-death penalty. My father was in the Vietnam War [Navy], do the people defending Ron on this think my dad should have been killed by a missile?

Regardless of how you feel about Kyle, Ron Paul *never* attacks people personally. I can't imagine him ever criticizing a soldier for following orders, but regardless - he'd be more inclined to criticize the actions, and not the person.
